“S.W.A.T.” returns this Friday with “The Heights,” an episode that throws a hostage crisis and a family reunion at 20-Squad. While the team tackles a tense standoff, Hondo gets a visit from his family, which could either be a welcome distraction or an added pressure cooker in the midst of the chaos.
Details about the hostage situation are scarce, but if past episodes are any indication, expect plenty of close calls, tactical maneuvering, and strategic decisions with lives hanging in the balance. Hondo’s family showing up adds an element of unpredictability. Will their presence be a source of strength or a vulnerability? “The Heights” is penned by Jamil Akim O’Quinn and directed by Michael D. Olmos.
This episode offers a chance to see how the team functions under duress while also providing a glimpse into Hondo’s life beyond the badge.
“S.W.A.T.: The Heights” airs Friday, February 7, 2025, at 10:00 PM ET/PT on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
