Recap / SWATS 05 E 12 Provenance

Go To

When armed gunmen seize control of the auction house where Hondo's sister works, the mission takes on a very personal edge.

Tropes:

  • Commonality Connection: Hicks and Hondo's father strike up a conversation over being fathers with chequered relationships with their grown-up children.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: The ringleader of the thieves turns out to be Winnie's unassuming intern.
  • It's Personal:
    • For Hondo and his father, due to Winnie being trapped inside the auction house.
    • The robbers' ringleader is seeking to reclaim family heirlooms stolen from her grandmother during World War II.
  • Parting-Words Regret: Hondo's father is clearly upset that his last conversation with Winnie before the robbers showed up was an argument.
  • Shipper on Deck: Chris is doing this between Luca and a female detective from the LAPD's Art Theft Division.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: Tan has a bit of sympathy for Julia wanting to recover her family's heritage. Deacon, on the other hand, has No Sympathy, pointing out that she caused a lot of damage and endangered a lot of lives in the process.
