Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers from SEAL Team Season 7, Episode 9, “The Sea and the Hills.”
After a close call in the previous episode, Bravo is ready to risk it all in SEAL Team Season 7, Episode 9. David Borenanaz’s Jason Hayes is desperate to capture Ramon Nazario and put an end to the fentanyl drug trade between the former Honduran Special Forces colonel and China. While Bravo is also invested in the mission, Jason has a personal connection after his son, Mikey, overdosed on fentanyl in SEAL Team Season 7, Episode 6. Fortunately, rather than continue to keep this secret from his team, Jason tells Bravo about Mikey.
Nazario’s overall goal is to overthrow the Honduran government, and his deal with China is helping that goal.
Despite knowing that the mission was Jason’s personal, the remaining members of Bravo were still willing to go into the fire in the penultimate episode of SEAL Team season 7 on Paramount+. In episode 8, the SEALs’ operation went awry. They were approaching Nazario’s camp when they saw Ross Curtis, an American citizen. Just as they were about to retreat, Bravo was compromised and had to leave with his gun going off. All the men returned to the boat unharmed, but they were very lucky. Now, Bravo must recover and begin a new mission in episode 9.
Can Bravo capture Ramon Nazario?
Nazario is currently in U.S. custody
After several dangerous operations, Bravo finally captured Nazario at the end of SEAL Team season 7, episode 9. However, getting there was not easy. First, Jason and his men infiltrated Nazario’s yacht, but he wasn’t on it and it was rigged to explode. Thanks to Drew Franklin, the SEALs survived (although Jason barely made it out before it exploded because he went back to get the boat’s GPS). The GPS tracker showed the yacht’s most frequent location (Nazario’s hometown) and Bravo suited up a second time to track down Nazario.
David Boreanaz’s new TV show opposite SEAL Team makes it that much more interesting
David Boreanaz is set to change his career again, with the actor revealing that his next project will be different from SEAL Team.
Bravo tries to find Nazario in his hometown, but the people there protect him, and he escapes again. Unfortunately, the SEALs miss him. Fortunately, however, Lisa Davis locates Nazario’s SUV, and Bravo resumes their pursuit. At the end of SEAL Team season 7, episode 9, “The Sea and the Hills”, Jason and Drew embark on another mission while Ray, Omar, Sonny, Trent, and Brock pursue Nazario.
Elsewhere in SEAL Team season 7, episode 9, Sonny learns that Stella and Brian are moving to California.
Sonny, Brock, and Trent serve as the ground crew, while Ray and Omar take to the skies. From their vehicles, Sonny, Brock, and Trent are able to eliminate two vehicles in Nazario’s convoy, while Ray and Omar take out an RPG and a truck from their helicopter. Only the SUV carrying Nazario remains. Ray and Omar shoot at the engine, causing the vehicle to crash. Bravo then kills all of Nazario’s security guards and captures Nazario, taking him to a US prison as SEAL Team season 7, episode 9 ends.
Why Jason and Drew Didn’t Accompany Bravo on Their Final Mission
Jason and Drew Didn’t Accompany Bravo When They Captured Nazario on SEAL Team Season 7, Episode 9
Ray, Omar, Sonny, Brock, and Trent could have handled capturing Nazario on their own while Drew and Jason embarked on a dangerous mission on SEAL Team Season 7, Episode 9. Jason gets a call from HQ and is ordered to track down a U.S. citizen â Ross Curtis. It doesn’t take Drew long to convince Jason to let him come along, and the two begin their perilous journey.
One might think that the rest of Bravo’s mission to capture Nazario would have been riskier. However, Curtis is a Green Beret (meaning he was in the U.S. Army’s Special Forces), and it would have been much harder for Jason and Drew to get to Curtis than it would have been for Bravo to take down Nazario. Plus, HQ ordered Jason to assassinate Curtis, not capture him. So, heading into the SEAL Team series finale, Jason and Drew will be separated from the rest of Bravo as they hunt for Curtis.
Ross Curtis’s Betrayal Explained
Curtis Was at Nazario’s Camp in Episode 8
At the beginning of “The Sea and the Hills,” Bravo discovers that Curtis went to Nazario’s camp voluntarily. He wasn’t sent there as an informant by the DEA or any other U.S. government agency, meaning Curtis is a traitor to the United States. Davis learns that, while he was in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Curtis was in Honduras in 2004 training Honduran soldiers, including Nazario. Of course, this news shocked and angered the Bravo team in SEAL Team Season 7, Episode 9.
As Jason points out, Curtis was so tainted by war that he couldn’t
Jun Yilin to Nazario, starting their partnership over the fentanyl drug trade. Curtis is undoubtedly in it for the money, all the while not caring what happens to American citizens. As Jason points out, Curtis has been so contaminated by war that he can’t escape it. Sadly, Curtis’ fate is what Jason’s final arc in SEAL Team has been all about. He’s worried that war is all he is and will ever be. Hopefully, seeing what war did to Curtis will wake Jason up and make him realize he can be more.
Why Jason Comes Clean About Mikey’s Overdose
Jason Finally Tells Bravo About What Happened To His Son
After Mikey’s overdose in SEAL Team season 7, episode 6, Jason essentially shut down and threw himself into his work. He didn’t let anyone in, not even confiding in Ray or Mandy. Jason’s closed-off tactic wasn’t working, though, as seen during the close call with the trap on the yacht. So, Jason finally informs Bravo that their mission in Honduras is personal to him because of what fentanyl did to his son.
The Bravo Team is surprised by the news of Mikey’s overdose, and they immediately express their concern for Jason (after making sure that Mikey is okay). Drew is the one who takes it the hardest because he thinks it’s hypocritical that Jason let his personal problems influence his decisions with the SEALs after Jason told him not to. Jason and Drew then have a heart-to-heart about both of their issues (Drew’s grief after losing all of his Echo teammates and Jason’s son almost dying due to fentanyl).
