What we have is the teasers for the final two episodes of the series, which will air on Friday, May 16, moving to 9 p.m. ET/PT to accommodate both.
In the penultimate “Ride or Die” episode, when an auto carrier truck gets hijacked by a high-speed crew, Hondo encounters a ghost from his past: a violent car thief thought to be long-dead. As the brutal road warriors tear across L.A. in pursuit of a mysterious $60 million car, Hondo’s old rivalry reignites, and he’s forced to confront a long-held fear. Also, Gamble is thrust into a personal crisis when her brother, Leon, becomes tangled in the investigation, putting Gamble’s SWAT future in jeopardy.
Patrick St. Esprit, David Lim, Shemar Moore, Anna Enger Ritch, Jay Harrington, and Brigitte Kali Canales
Then at 10 p.m., the SWAT team undertakes its final mission in the “Return to Base” episode when a violent crew of ex-pat Russian mercenaries holds Los Angeles hostage after planting hundreds of hidden explosives across the city in a bid to extort the release of their brutal leader, Dmitri Rykov. When Rykov is brought to SWAT for safekeeping, SWAT HQ comes under attack, forcing Hondo and 20-Squad to fight for their very survival.
