a bunch of blue berries growing on red stems

Growing in a particular spot near the bikeway in East Arlington are three plants I'm not familiar with (and also pokeweed, which I know thanks to a post in this space a couple of years ago). Two I'm guessing are not edible; the third sure looks like an edible grape but the fact that there are still many, many bunches of them within easy reach suggests that other foragers know better. I offer cake and ice cream to whomever can positively identify all three. The berries and leaves are grouped in comments below.

Specimen #1 has very dark berries about 1/4" across.

Its leaves look like bay leaves, maybe slightly bigger.
Image
Its bark is dark brown but flecked horizontally like birch.
