In The Wire season 1 episode 7, titled "One Arrest", tensions rise both in the Baltimore police department and on the streets as the hunt for Avon Barksdale and his crew continues. Detective McNulty and his team are not making as much progress in their investigation as they would like, and McNulty is becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of support he is receiving from his higher-ups.

Meanwhile, D'Angelo Barksdale remains in prison and is growing increasingly disillusioned with his involvement in the family business. We see him struggle with the guilt he feels over the deaths of Wallace and Brandon, both of whom he played a role in betraying to the police. D'Angelo's internal turmoil is further exacerbated by his relationship with his mother, who is putting pressure on him to maintain his loyalty to the family.

On the streets, tensions are also running high as the police presence in the western district continues to increase. We see the impact of this on the dealers and their customers, who are becoming more hesitant to conduct business out in the open. The situation is further complicated by the presence of Omar Little, a notorious stick-up artist who is targeting the Barksdale organization. Omar's presence puts Avon Barksdale on edge, and he orders the execution of a young boy who he believes was working with Omar.

The episode climaxes with the long-awaited arrest of someone close to the Barksdale organization. This development sets the stage for further confrontations between the police and the drug dealers, and shows that the stakes are only getting higher as the investigation continues.

Overall, "One Arrest" is a tension-filled episode that showcases the complex dynamics at play in the war on drugs in Baltimore. We see the impact of the drug trade on both sides of the law—on the dealers who are struggling to maintain their power and territory, and on the police who are working tirelessly to bring them to justice. As the investigation heats up, it becomes increasingly clear that no one is safe, and that the consequences of this dangerous game will be far-reaching.
