Hondo battles to rescue Delfina and put an end to Arthur Novak'a corruption in Mexico, while back in Los Angeles, the rest of 20 Squad face being permanently reassigned to other teams.
Tropes:
- Avenging the Villain: Arthur Novak makes it clear he wants Hondo to suffer for killing his son.
- The Bus Came Back: Chris and Luca return from Germany.
- Damsel out of Distress: Delfina headbutts and kicks the mercenary leader holding her hostage in the knee, distracting him long enough for Charro to have a clean shot.
- End of an Era: What the rest of 20 Squad fear is happening.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Arthur Novak is clearly heartbroken and vengeful when his son AJ is killed by Hondo.
- He's Back!: 20 Squad's reaction to Hondo returning to SWAT HQ.
- Hired Guns: Novak hires a band of Mexican paramilitaries to help him kill Hondo.
- In the Back: Hondo shoots AJ from behind with a sniper rifle.
- Moral Myopia: Arthur Novak wants Hondo to pay for killing his son, completely ignoring the fact that AJ was about to murder Delfina (who Arthur was holding hostage as leverage against her mother).
