S.W.A.T. Season 5 Episode 17 Review: Cry Foul

An activist-turned-terrorist is on the run and 20-Squad is on their tail.

Not solely that, however Deacon and Annie catch a break within the Eduardo Ortiz case in S.W.A.T. Season 5 Episode 17. And it is not somebody that anybody would suspect, a minimum of not at first.

Put in your considering caps as a result of there’s a lot to dig into.

One factor that I’ve liked about S.W.A.T. Season 5 has been attending to see extra of the S.W.A.T. Academy, particularly with 20-Squad doing a whole lot of the coaching.

The start of the episode has Luca and Avenue educating recruits when an oil derrick explodes close by. That is once we get to see a number of the potential S.W.A.T. officers in motion.

One in all them even takes off on her personal to avoid wasting a resident in an condominium constructing that took many of the hit.

Whereas it was towards orders, and he or she did not watch for backup, she managed to avoid wasting the resident and look badass whereas doing it.

On S.W.A.T. Season 5 Episode 15, we bought to see the candidates open up with the expertise present, see what their personalities are like.

It targeted on one candidate, whereas this episode focuses on one other and what they’re able to out within the area.

Candidate Zoe Powell goes all daredevil making an attempt to avoid wasting a resident in an condominium constructing after the explosion. This causes her to be disciplined by Luca and Hicks.

Avenue, nevertheless, can not help however see the comparisons, as she is him when he was a rookie on S.W.A.T.

I am simply right here to do what my group did for me. Stick round lengthy sufficient so that you can understand that S.W.A.T. isn’t a listing of ways and laws. It is a household. And we make one another higher.

Avenue

Figuring out how he went from daredevil to mannequin officer, Avenue tried to speak to Zoe, even opening as much as her about his (very) sophisticated childhood.

It does not get her to open up, however she does give in and asks him for assist in the armory. I am to see if we’ll get extra of them. It will be good to see Avenue type of mentor somebody, particularly somebody that’s like how he was.

This episode additionally included a serious breakthrough within the Eduardo Ortiz case.

Annie has been taking the lead on it for the previous few episodes, and I’ve liked it as a result of whereas she was solely a legislation scholar and dropped out, she’s beginning to understand that that is what she’s meant to be doing.

I did my job, too. I put the cuffs on Ortiz six years in the past. Doesn’t suggest we bought it proper.

Deacon

Whereas digging extra into the case, Annie met with Cora, the estranged spouse of certainly one of Maria’s coworkers, Scott. Annie questioned her about Scott, and Cora went off the deep finish.

Cora informed Annie about Maria’s physique being stuffed within the pantry.

And that was not in any launched report. So how did she know?

That is the place the viewers also can begin placing the items collectively.

Scott may need had an affair with Maria whereas married to Cora. It is potential that Cora knew, contemplating Scott would come house smelling like fragrance.

With that information, Cora could have had sufficient and gotten rid of Maria, framing Ortiz. Nobody questioned her initially because the affair wasn’t recognized.

It is a human system and it is flawed. Justice is seeing that and making it proper.

Deacon

Once we first bought wind of the case, it was clear that they weren’t going to have Ortiz be responsible; it was clear that he was harmless. The query was who was actually behind it and why.

Now that case could lastly have a lead, it is solely a matter of when they’ll get sufficient proof to place it by way of the system.

This case is just simply starting, and I’ve change into so hooked up to it already.

Seeing Deacon and Annie engaged on it collectively can also be very nice as a result of we have not seen Annie doing her personal factor all through the present.

Now we get to see what she’s able to, probably going for her dream profession.

I am curious to see how lengthy they may have the ability to preserve this storyline going. It looks like Deacon and Annie have a fairly good case towards Cora, however the lawyer appears adamant that they do not have sufficient proof.

Hopefully, the tip outcome will favor Ortiz, and he’s lastly let out. Maybe he might play a giant half in S.W.A.T. Season 6 in some way?

In the meantime, on the finish of the episode, Annie contemplated going again to legislation college, and he or she has Deacon’s full assist.

She could have dropped out of legislation college, however this case introduced again previous emotions she by no means knew she had. And I am excited to see whether or not she goes by way of with it or not.

As for the case, 20-Squad discovered themselves making an attempt to trace down an activist-turned-terrorist liable for the explosions.

Setting off explosives is a humorous approach of conserving the neighborhood protected.

Hondo

Hondo tries to work with a councilwoman to do one thing in regards to the oil derricks inflicting issues in underprivileged communities.

One thing that I like about Hondo that he genuinely cares about serving to others.

When it is revealed that the councilwoman’s play was extra political, he desires to do one thing about it.

I am hoping that that keenness continues within the remaining episodes of the season.

Possibly he’ll begin an initiative of some kind, since he can be the best man for it.

Remaining Ideas

• 
  I would like extra of Luca and Nora as a result of they’re simply too cute

• 
  Zoe being arrange as Avenue 2.0 is an effective way for Avenue to change into like Buck

• 
  Annie would make an A+ lawyer

• 
  Hondo must do one thing involving politics as a result of he might win anybody over

Did you catch on to what the Ortiz case was pointing in the direction of? May Annie and Deacon lastly have made an actual breakthrough?

Who’s the subsequent fortunate S.W.A.T. Academy candidate that we’ll see who can have a connection to somebody on 20-Squad?

And can the oil derricks push Hondo to make adjustments in his group?
