* AdultFear: As an episode about school shootings, this is full of it.
* DueToTheDead: Deacon named his daughter Lila after the last victim of the 2013 school shooting (she provided the S.W.A.T. team with intel of what was going on in the school and was killed trying to protect some of her classmates).
* ForWantOfANail: Street invokes this to Luca, suggesting that if they'd killed the surviving shooter in 2013, they might not have gotten the intel they needed to stop the present one.
* {{Forgiveness}}: A big theme throughout this, particularly when the original shooter's mother, after seeing what Hondo did, tells him she stopped blaming him for killing her son a long time ago.
* ItsPersonal: Luca clearly despises the school shooter who survived, pointing out to Street that while he may spend the rest of his life in prison, he's still alive, which is more than his victims got.
* MyGreatestFailure: Two examples-
** The surviving school shooter clearly regrets that he allowed the ringleader to talk him into carrying the shooting out, provides them with any information he can, and even tells Luca he's grateful S.W.A.T stopped him from killing more people.
** The ringleader's mother clearly blames herself for not seeing what her son was about to do.
* PublicServiceAnnouncement: The episode ends with one, where the cast and an L.A.P.D. officer discuss how to spot potential warning signs of school shooters.
* SelfMadeOrphan: The copycat school shooter murders his own mother before heading to his school.
* ThisCannotBe: In the flashback to the 2013 school shooting, the main shooter's mother has this reaction when Hicks tells her that her son was not only involved, but was also killed by S.W.A.T.
* TranquilFury: When S.W.A.T. arrests the man who sold the gun to their suspect and he refuses to talk without a promise of immunity from prosecution, Hondo calmly and angrily promises that unless they stop the shooter in time, the gun seller will be charged as an accessory to mass murder. [[KnowWhenToFoldEm The seller promptly decides to talk]].
* YouAreTooLate: According to Hondo, back in 2013, he and the team were training only a few blocks from the school under attack, but several victims had still be killed by the time they arrived.
