20-Squad goes large for the midseason finale.
On S.W.A.T. Season 6 Episode 8, Luca begins rethinking his resolution with the meals truck as Nichelle struggles with the aftermath of an incident on the heart.
In the meantime, Deacon helps his son after getting suspended, however it could result in one thing greater.
Midseason finales are normally a success or a miss, however S.W.A.T. definitely didn’t miss.
From feelings to motion, it was a mixture of depth and heartache.
As talked about for S.W.A.T. Season 6 Episode 1, Rochelle Aytes was upped to collection common for this season.
This opened the chance to incorporate Nichelle in additional storylines.
The present positively delivered for this episode, and it might finally have an enduring impact on her.
I used to think about this place as a sort of sanctuary, you already know? However I used to be defenseless, as they had been banging on my workplace door.
Nichelle
When Nichelle started working, she noticed that the middle was robbed, and he or she discovered herself locked in a room, terrified.
Nichelle, in flip, felt the necessity to carry a gun so she might really feel safer.
Hondo, anxious as ever, wasn’t too positive about it, figuring out how Nichelle initially felt about weapons.
When she introduced up the truth that Annie obtained a gun after her and Deacon’s home obtained shot up, Hondo actually had to consider what he wished for Nichelle.
After he talked with Deacon, he confirmed his assist for Nichelle.
He even referred to as her to the vary at HQ to strive her hand at it, however that is when she realized she did not wish to be on that finish of the gun, accountable for taking a life, particularly if it was one she knew.
Regardless of Nichelle being scared, she knew she did not wish to personal a gun, a minimum of not proper now.
It will be intriguing to see the place this storyline goes if it continues within the new 12 months.
With Nichelle being pregnant, we’re certain to get Mama Bear-like tales.
All I might take into consideration this morning was the necessity to defend myself and our child.
Nichelle
We’ve not actually seen this facet of her earlier than, so it has been actually refreshing and opens up the opportunity of extra storylines.
The neighborhood heart is meant to be this protected area, and now it is not.
How that adjustments in upcoming episodes might be one thing to sit up for sooner or later.
There’s additionally how Hondo will transfer on from this.
He was supportive of Nichelle getting a gun, though he wasn’t too positive about it.
He’ll all the time fear about her, and being a cop simply heightens that fear.
No, the facility that I misplaced that I must regain, that is not gonna come from wherever else however inside right here.
Nichelle
Particularly now that they’ve slightly lady on the way in which.
Seeing how that performs out all through the remainder of the season ought to positively maintain issues compelling.
This episode was additionally fairly large for Deacon.
We do not get to see his household too typically, however we did get to see him cope with a heavy scenario involving his son, Matthew.
Deacon has all the time been a household man, and seeing him with Annie or the children, you already know it is going to be a very good time.
It was found that Matthew obtained right into a struggle in school and was suspended, however he would not inform his dad the rationale why.
Deacon tried getting recommendation from the others and even skilled Matt at HQ as a result of what else are you able to do when he is suspended?
Ultimately, Matthew admitted {that a} child advised him that each one cops are killers, particularly S.W.A.T.
Not solely that, however he mentioned that they deserved to get their home shot up just a few years in the past.
Whereas Deacon did not like what the child mentioned, he advised Matthew that it is nonetheless by no means okay to get into fights, and it is higher to like than hate.
Simply because someone mentioned one thing you do not agree with, it would not provide the proper to harm them.
Deacon
Whether or not this storyline will proceed on within the new 12 months might be one thing to look out for in upcoming episodes.
S.W.A.T. is thought to hit on heavy points, however involving the children is sort of a complete new territory.
It was shocking that the Kay home being shot up was introduced up, although, because it was just a few seasons in the past.
This makes me assume that it might begin to have extra of an affect on the household transferring ahead.
The truth that it was introduced up twice in a single episode since Nichelle talked about it to Hondo and Hondo to Deacon that does make you assume extra about it.
It is attainable this storyline will proceed to develop, so hopefully, this may not be the final time we come again to it.
One other storyline that had its long-overdue revisit was Luca’s meals truck.
It appeared prefer it had been some time since we noticed Luca or anybody on S.W.A.T. work the meals truck.
For the reason that primary storyline centered on a meals truck pageant, it solely made sense.
Look, I purchased the meals truck as a result of I assumed it might carry the group collectively, you already know? Hold us all linked.
Luca
As a result of Luca being busy with S.W.A.T. and centered on different issues, Guate-mama’s has been decrease down his precedence record.
He actually heard a mouthful from the chef, and for a very good purpose.
Luca wished the meals truck within the first place as a result of he thought it might carry the group nearer collectively.
Sadly, he got here to the unhappy conclusion and realization that with Chris gone and everybody else engaged on various things, it is not the identical.
I am gonna be round to assist extra, beginning proper now.
Luca
Luca put another person answerable for the meals truck however nonetheless promised to do work and put extra deal with it.
Whereas I hoped that we might get some scenes of the group working the meals truck, there’s nonetheless some hope that we might get that sooner or later.
Not less than for now, it was lastly acknowledged that Luca does, in truth, have a meals truck, and with him promising to put it to use extra and never put every thing on the employees, something is feasible.
This episode did not have a cliffhanger, which was shocking.
It did on some lighter notes, which was positively a very good factor, but it surely makes me anxious for a way the second half of the season will go.
There have been positively some good setups for potential storylines that can probably be large within the new 12 months.
I wish to unfold that happiness as far and broad as I can.
Luca
How large, although, is unknown.
Nonetheless, it ought to be intriguing to see if something builds as much as one thing even greater.
So, Fanatics, what did you consider the midseason finale of S.W.A.T.?

As for Deacon, how do you assume the aftermath of what occurred with Matthew will have an effect on him, if in any respect? Are you hoping to see extra of that sooner or later?
With Luca wanting to show his consideration extra towards the meals truck, would you wish to see extra of the group working it? It could positively make for some enjoyable content material that we not often see.
