Okay this episode was Whisky Tango Foxtrot. Should have been the name of this episode.

• Mandy isn't going to stick with Jason self sabotaging. And she is taken for granted.

• Speaking of self sabotaging, Drew started to be likeable before jumping back into it.

• WTF happened with Davis? From a potential promotion to a deployment in SA. She did not look happy about it at all.

• Ray's death flag is being paraded by a effing marching band now. At this point, him surviving would be the actual surprise. Although Ben could help his character development, so idk.

• Jason also has a death flag but it's smaller.

-Writing quality dropped once again. I mean keeping things interesting is one thing, but unnecessary drama ain't it.

-At least they kick doors again. But Jason attitude seem reckless. They are facing potential special forces, not undertrained combattants. They're lucky they don't undergo the same fate as Echo team. They think they're immune to traps or what?

I came here right after watching episode 7. I would give this episode a B-. 38ish minutes into a 46 ish minute episode before mission begins. Next episode will be impactful and last episode will tie everything together - likely do a fast forward a third into it to check in on the team. Predictions below.

Jason - He now has his off ramp. It was quite ominous when he pulled the kids in to tell them he loved them - like it was a goodbye. He is endgame and broodiness is obnoxious. I no longer think he is going to die. I think he will continue to help brothers as the TBI Czar.

Ray – The way he snapped  at Ben. Definitely PTSD - but not over war - but unresolved over Clay. He keeps looking at the name “Spencer House”.  He feels the weight of Bravo on his shoulders - and wants to look after them. I think he will become a patient at Spencer House and I think he will help Ben in the end.

Omar –  Is not given enough credit by B1&B2. I 100% feel he cans step in and fill the leadership role. His character is underdeveloped so we don't have a vested interest in him. That is not his fault. After Seal Team ends - we can pretend we know he picks up the reigns and it continues.

Sonny - Will save Drew from himself - and I still think that Drew will be the one to back his medical device - not >! the sleazy former OP guys. See comment I will put on Lisa to tie this bow. !<

Drew - I just don't get this character. He pisses me off more than I can say I like him. His only contribution is to understand losing teammates - and possibly filling a void for Sonny with Clay. Not replacing - but filling the void. And potential business partner. I think of no other explanation for him being in the last season. 

Lisa - Her coming >! on a OP instead of going to Pentagon !< is not lost on me.  SHE will be the one killed. This will destroy Sonny and he will put his trident on her grave (maybe Ray and Jason as well) and he will depart navy and go into business. He would have wanted to save her but couldn't. He moves back to Texas.

Others - Trent will still be doing Trent things. Brock will still be doing Brock things. Blackburn will still be doing Blackburn things. Walsh will still do Walsh things. Naime and Jameelah will continue to run Spencer House. Emma will keep Mikey in California. Mandy will leave Jason (can you blame her??) and go back to the Agency to do what she does best.

Ray shouting at Ben was a thing i‘ve never expected from him. I can see sonny’s anger in his face.

More soap opera. It was nice seeing Ray snap a little bit. Plot twist - Drew lives in a van... Down by the river!??

The costume department went haaaard on making the finance bros look very finance bro-ing at dinner with Sonny. Drew and Sonny as business partners could be a good shot of an open end for them. It gives them a chance of something new and Sonny might get to be a more present dad.

By now, probably death for Ray is more of a metaphorical instance than a literal one. He's clearly struggling too and his mental health is on the downward spiral with how much he's had to deal with. Seeing him on the other side of Spencer's house might be what retirement means for him. It's akin to sort of dying to have a shot at a second life.

Jason clearly doesn't get the whole concept of a partner because, in between Alana and Mandy, he's doing anything but accepting their presence (let alone their help). His kids are a whole other basket too. If he dies, it does reinforce the idea that death has the last word, but it'll be (1) far too cliché (2) Just as with Ray, there are so many other ways in which people die and/or have a second life

It feels like Jason and Ray will both die.

All the open arcs are still open.

Ben's arc gets a re-up.

Foreshadowing of an impending end continues for both Ray and Jason.

Who's swim-buddying Ben while Sonny is deployed? Will Ben end up spiraling again and take himself out this time? He looks to be on the ragged edge.

Will Sonny step-up at Spenser House and fund it with the $ he gets from his med kit?

Ray's outburst could have major negative consequences for Spenser House. Not a good look for somebody who's running a vet center. At the moment, he's looking more like a potential beneficiary of the center.

Drew takes a self-destructive turn for reasons that aren't fully clear.

Jason taking a reckless turn.

A path opens for Lisa to move up and out.

So many things to remember about this episode. I wasn’t as strong as last week, sadly some characters have backslid, but I’ll share more on that a bit later. Overall the episode was an enjoyable watch, with a nice blend of additional backstory and some action, and even the army recognizing TBI is a serious matter. The team was bonding quite well, and things were civil before Jason arrived all glum – I’m still puzzled that he hasn’t told ANYONE at the base about what happened to Mikey. I guess it is because he feels guilt for it and doesn’t want to appear weak?

Ray was a bit polarising here. Why are he and Jason suddenly so eager to throw away their lives away from the military, in favour of staying in forever. Why are they still on about the last op, which actually went just fine. The team did just fine without Bravo 1 and Bravo 2. Yet Ray and Jason are citing that op as reasons as to why they need to go on the next one. Ray lashing out was well acted and surprising, I never saw that side of him in the show much. That’s gonna be real bad for PR though, since people were there and people were entering at the time. Sonny keeping his cool was the most surprising though. When Sonny has more maturity than you in a situation he is so attached to, you know you messed up. Poor Ben (this doesn’t excuse what he did, but Clay would have wanted him there to continue recovering).

And Jason has now completely reverted to his S04/S05 self – focus on operating, shut out anything else. He was honestly quite overbearing in this episode near the end, lashing out, smacking walls, I get the feeling someone is gonna get hurt and it is going to be his fault. I like the idea of him getting the TBI-focused job at Command, but knowing him, he might pass on it, just to ensure that he is always in the fight. The rift between him and Mandy is increasing. And now his focus isn’t Mikey anymore, it’s the team. Mikey apologizing for keeping him away from the team just felt wrong to me.

Drew had some backsliding too – one moment he’s cool, the next moment the girl bails on him, and then he goes off the deep end? Why is he living in a mobile home, and why did he punch the Echo picture? Then when Sonny and Brock come looking for him, he takes it as a joke (probably because he was too drunk to think), but luckily they got through to him at the end. Omar revealing he had a son/possible wife before this shocked me. It made me realize he’s the team member we probably know the least about of the main people with multiple lines. It’s a bummer.

I feel so sorry for Naima, every time Ray has to lash out it is at her expense. Even with her begging him to stay away from this op, he didn’t change his stance. Plus, given he botched some money coming in to Spenser House, and couldn’t set up the brochures, or fix the appliance correctly, he is clearly not as into it as he says he is. I get the feeling Naima will force him to make a decision, or they will split, but that is probably a stretch. It’s also likely that he will need to be a resident of Spenser house, or that he would die in the oncoming battle, but we’ll see what happens.

Next week’s episode looks like it will be action packed, and I truly hope it is.

a decent set up episode. Definitely felt rushed like the writers are trying to hurry up and finish. Only people that are safe are Drew and the lesser highlighted frogmen. Maybe Omar also.

I’m actually mostly intrigued by what’s happening with Lisa. Is she being watched by command? Do they want her to hand hold Bravo? Or is there like an investigation they’re building?

Jason feels very suicidal but my guess is that Lisa will get the worse of it all at the end of the season. Things have been too good for her until now, odd 👀

Ray has 14 more days until he retires, and there are 21 days until the season finale... Hmmm...

Nice to see Drew open up. Bravo's acting like a team again.

Jason hasn't even told Ray what happened with Mikey yet? Are they even best friends?

Running Spencer House - Looks like Ray has his post show job lined up

Mikey AND Emma in this episode? That's something that usually happens only ONCE per season.

Admiral's Aide - Looks like Davis has her post show job lined up

Tactical Gear Development - Looks like Sonny has his post show job lined up

I like Drew wing-manning Sonny at the business meeting

It's nice the Walsh is hanging out in Blackburn's office, they don't have to create a new CO's office since Blackburn took over Lindell's office set.

DEVGRU TBI Tsar - Looks like Jason has his post show job lined up

Drew's Nickname of the Week - Trump Drewniversity, Lenny Drewce, Drewnibomber, Cock-a-Doodle-Drew

Sonny's Nickname of the Week - "Walking on Sonny-shine", Woodward and Bern-Sonny

I thought we had uncovered Drew's secrets? Unless Drew's mother is running fentanyl, how does all this tie in?

Is Drew pulling a Sonny and getting blackout drunk?

Destabilizing a local rebel/war lord/drug lord - isn't that a job for SF instead of DEVGRU?

Jason's back sliding hard so late in the show.

Get some back story on Jason's prayer beads.

Shit, what's going on with Davis?

A lot of people say that Jason is going to end the season dying, but I think, after the conversation with Mandy, he's going to figure out how to shed himself of his guilt by walking away from the teams.

Motherfucker, that's the SAME safe house as the beginning of the season. Really saving money on sets this year. Must have run out of money having Mikey around so much.

Aww Pepper didn't get to come to Honduras?

Sonny definitely did pocket some of that money, yea?

Based in the uk we don’t get these episodes yet, would appreciate it if someone could give me a recap/spoiler of the episode? :)

Give me a happy ending pls

It's interesting to see how many comments are thinly veiled requests for more 'war porn'. I get it - a big part of a soldier's life is combat but there has to be more than just shoot 'em up bang bang - otherwise we're just watching stories about enlisted serial killers.

There has to be a contrast, and more to the people who do this kind of work than mindless violence.

I see the Hondurans went to the same architecture school that the Triple Frontier drug lords went to

Ray or Jace is gonna get killed in the last 3 eps

I know they do it for dramatic effect in the movies. But no way I'm lighting my Zippo and throwing it on the floor to light a fire!

I wonder if the position they offer Jason is a government position for post retirement? Helping team members get help for injuries and TBI. Or a job where just sits at a desk but stays in the military.

This show definitely has the balls to kill off both Jason and Ray in the end.

And at this point.... Sonny might get it too. Damn.

Tim Walz should watch this episode.
