"Unto Others" is the seventh episode of the fourth season of the HBO original series The Wire. Written by William F. Zorzi from a story by Ed Burns & William F. Zorzi, and directed by Anthony Hemingway, it originally aired on October 29, 2006.

This is the first episode in which Bubbles is referred to by a name (Marcia Donnelly calls him "Mr. Cousins"). We later learn his full name is Reginald Cousins.

This is the second time the Italian film L'ultimo bacio appears on the show, when a bootleg DVD is taken by Officer Walker it appears to be a copy of this film. The first appearance was in the third season, in the episode "All Due Respect".

In the episode's opening scene, Omar is shown reading Ghettoheat by Hickson.

In the second scene, over the radio at Bubbles', a columnist can be heard describing his job as reminiscent to the one of David Simon.

The reference is from the proverb "Do unto others as you would have done to yourself". This ties into the golden rule Bunk mentions to Omar, who is facing retribution from many of his former victims in prison. It also references Bunk's interference in Holley's and Crutchfield's homicide case, after which Crutchfield threatens to interfere with the next case Bunk catches.

Bunk says this to Omar during their interrogation.

Although credited Dominic West does not appear in this episode.

Omar Little reads in his cell. The two men that Butchie assigned to protect him arrive and strap thick books around his torso, under his shirt. In the cafeteria line an inmate attempts to stab Omar. Omar disarms him and stabs him with his own blade up his rectum as a warning to the others who might try to kill him. Omar leaves the scene of the incident before the guards arrive. Butchie’s men tell Omar that the bounty on his head was placed by Marlo Stanfield. Omar gets a cell phone when he asks if they can help him make a call. He tells his bodyguards that he is phoning the police because he is owed a favor.
