Building up to another great finale

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I am giddy with anticipation after watching Bunk's reaction to Lester's proclamation that the vacant building next to the playground is a tomb. It is hard to believe that there are only two episodes left this season. It is even harder to imagine that next season will be the final season. How will the new mayor deal with the school budget deficit after announcing a police pay raise? How will the major crimes unit come back together? Will their be a change at the top of the police department this season? What role will McNulty play in it, if any? Will Omar take control of the city's drug trade, or will there be a free-for-all like "City of God?"
