CBS’s “S.W.A.T.” returns this Friday with an episode ripped from the headlines, tackling the grim reality of sex trafficking in Los Angeles. “Exploited” begins with a seemingly straightforward nightclub shooting, but Hondo and the 20-Squad soon find themselves uncovering a much larger criminal operation, one that puts them on a collision course with a notorious biker club.

The stakes are high as the team races to find a missing girl caught in the web of this trafficking ring. Expect the usual high-octane action sequences and tactical maneuvers, but also the personal dramas that have become a hallmark of the series. A blast from Alfaro’s past re-emerges, testing the limits of forgiveness, and Commander Hicks faces a new challenge from Deputy Chief Bennett.
