Answer: He jumps from a six story window

Omar was one of my favorite characters of all time. His murder in subsequent episodes cut me deep, but thinking he could fly for the couple of weeks it took HBO to get to the next episode was a lot of fun. His being just as bad with what must have been a horribly broken leg was pretty good too.

The reality depicted in each episode was picture perfect and its rewards should match it.
