S.W.A.T. Season 5 Episode 4 sees the team following a violent group of robbers. This time around, though, more than robbers, it’s the civilians who are causing them trouble to execute this mission perfectly. Apart from this, Hondo’s return to the team wasn’t that good, it seems. Yes, his team welcomed him wholeheartedly. But his backlash from the past keeps haunting him. This same comes when a new leader has replaced him. Someone they know from way back since the training. He has different plans when it comes to leading the Squad-20.
The new leader quickly put Hondo on the back, trying to inspire the young guns of the team. Letting them know that they are following him. The problem comes when Luca, who had crossed with this leader in the past, doesn’t believe he comeback just to lead. While rest of the team believes he is thinking this way because of the old rivalry. Here is the thing though, that is not all. Why? Well, because there is a leak that this new leader is here in order to make Hondo quit SWAT once and for all.
S.W.A.T. S05 E03 Recap
Previously on S.W.A.T. Season 5, we opened up with Hondo returning to SWAT. Before he does that, his father warns him and advises him not to lose his dignity for this job. Things were pretty bright for the team as Squad-20 was reinstated. But Hondo is no longer leading his squad. Hicks introduced Hondo and Deacon to Squad-20’s new leader Officer Rodrigo Sanchez. The officers knew him from back in the day, and after a long absence stepping up on somewhere else, he is back at SWAT.
Sanchez began his work by putting Hondo aside so the young guns of the team would respect him and follow him. He believes it’s great they respect him, but they need to follow him now. Meanwhile, a robbery at a mall leads to three escaping and one left out in the mall. An officer is down as the SWAT reaches. Hondo stays outside while the rest of the team enters. Sanchez ends up catching the one robber at the mall.
There was a constant animosity growing with the way Sanchez led his team. While the team had eyes on the type of car they drove and also licensee plate as suggested by the one they caught. Luca over here went head-on to question Sanchez on his decision to come back to SWAT. It felt odd to him. After ignoring him, Sanchez’s criticism continued with Tan’s work as well.

Anyway, the squad tracked down the truck and the girl driving it, whose name is Pipa. Luca later lets Hondo and Deacon know what he feels about Sanchez. He believes he must have an Agenda to come back. Deacon, at this point, believes it only has to do with the history they had. The squad later figured out where the rest of the gang would be sitting. This location comes at an evidence storage facility.
So the team moved in, but it was Hondo who led them, resulting in the catching of those remaining members. Sanchez ended up confessing that he came to investigate the team and all of its controversies. But he is proud of the team, and he won’t pull it back. Hondo realized he is inspiring kids out there who are joining SWAT because of him. The episode closed with Luca bringing Renee to Hondo’s house. She revealed that Sanchez does have an agenda, and that is to make Hondo quit the SWAT.
