Hondo & His Team Pursue Drug Dealers in S.W.A.T. Season 8 Episode 16 Clip

Hondo and his team pursue two drug dealers in a new clip from S.W.A.T. season 8, episode 16, showcasing a fiery action sequence. S.W.A.T. season 8 is closing out its final season with some high-octane cases, reflecting the teamwork and dedication of the Twenty Squad across their various missions. Season 8, episode 16 is no different, focusing on the team seeking out a drug dealer after the kidnapping and torture of two star college football players.

Now, ScreenRant is sharing an exclusive clip provided by CBS from S.W.A.T. season 8, episode 16, “Hail Mary,” that sees the team drive up to a pair of drug dealers. The drug dealers make a run for it, torching their car as the team looks for two people, presumably the football players. Hondo breaks the window of the car in search of them, but radios to other team members that he can’t find them. Meanwhile, Deacon takes one of the suspects down, while the second remains elusive. Check out the full clip below:

What S.W.A.T. Season 8, Episode 16’s Clip Means For The Episode

The Team Is Going Up Against A Ruthless Foe

Based on the clip, the team’s search for the football players is still continuing at this point in the episode, with them pursuing the drug dealers to discover their whereabouts. Unfortunately, it seems the mission isn’t going to plan, with one of their leads dead and the other in the wind. However, the best episodes of S.W.A.T. often find the team needing to think creatively in a tense situation, something that will no doubt play into their search for the missing college students. How events play out afterwards, however, remain a mystery.

The Data Is Clear: CBS’ S.W.A.T. Season 8 Timeslot Change Doomed Season 9

CBS moving SWAT to the later timeslot on Fridays was a major concern, and now the data proves that it was a mistake for the show’s future.

Deacon also got a chance to shine, with the episode description saying he’ll get “unexpected attention” from his “heroics.“ This could involve the criminal he shoots in the clip, although what kind of attention he’ll draw for himself is unclear. However, the length to which the team is going to go to rescue the football players shows everyone will do whatever is necessary. This includes making tough judgment calls, something S.W.A.T.‘s final season will no doubt be full of, especially in an episode poised to be as action-packed as this one.

With the squad doing everything they can to find who they’re looking for, it seems like S.W.A.T. season 8, episode 16 will have plenty of tension as their mission continues. This seems especially true for Hondo as he leads everyone on their case, alongside Deacon, who might get more than he bargained for after taking down one of the suspects. With the episode promising to keep evolving as it continues, this confrontation might just be the start of another major, high-stakes hour.
