SEAL Team fans have been given a worrying preview for the ongoing season as this week’s episode is confirmed to feature another high-stakes mission to Syria.
The current season of SEAL Team has put the team under even more pressure both during their latest ops and back at home. With Clay Spenser (played by Max Thieriot) out of action after thanks to a life-altering injury, Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) and his crack team of officers will have to keep their wits about them as the Paramount+ drama heads back to Syria.
The synopsis for this Sunday’s episode, Strange Bedfellows, keeps things short and sweet but it could have huge implications for the show’s future.
It reads: “BRAVO is called back to Syria to handle some unfinished business.”
A new promo has also previewed some tense undercover work and an altercation with sword-wielding insurgents.
The show’s official Twitter page has teased: “Back to Syria. Back to the fight. Backs against the wall.”
Commander Eric Blackburn (Judd Lormand) informs the team they’ll be split up once their feet have barely touched the ground.
This will put Jason and his squad at even greater risk of enemy fire, and this mission could be one that lasts over multiple episodes as they scramble to regroup.
Furthermore, some fans are also concerned Jason’s trusted friend Ray Perry (Neil Brown Jr) has been put in command this time around.
After seeing the preview for the next episode, @SSAFunsub tweeted: “#SEALTeam Going back to Syria with Ray as Officer-In-Charge again. What could go wrong?”
Earlier this season, Ray pressured Jason into telling new senior operator Omar (Raffi Barsoumian) about his brain injury but has kept his own post-traumatic stress under wraps.
Plus, his leadership very nearly got Brock Reynolds (Justin Melnick) killed in another mission, so fans will be on the alert if Ray is left in charge again.
@PookieNoodlin22 replied: “Jason needs to stay away from any buses too… Ray might throw him under one more time.
This season, Ray has also been moving closer to retirement, so his head may not be in the right place to make sure everyone is accounted for on this mission.
If his PTS gets the better of him, Bravo’s tactics could suffer, leaving them vulnerable in Syria without any backup.
Thankfully, fan-favorite Clay will remain safe back at home, his recovery from having his leg amputated still receiving his full attention.
