I definitely had the feeling after the barber shop scene and the way it ended, followed by the rooftop scene where Avon uneasily asked where String would be, that he had gave him up.

Then, as soon as he said "It's just business" - the same words Stringer had said to Colvin about giving Avon up, I *knew* that Avon had done it.

My only question was whether or not Stringer picked up on it too. He always seemed to be one step ahead.

Just a brilliant hour of TV. The Wire is one of the few shows that actually serves from not being broadcast in HD. The 4:3 framing makes everything cramped, close, and tight, evoking exactly the feelings they want the viewer to have (I think).
