** Whilst on a sabbatical in Thailand in "[[Recap/SWAT0601ThaiHard Thai Hard]]" and [[Recap/SWAT0602ThaiAnotherDay Thai Another Day]]" Hondo, Deacon and Tan end up facing [[TheDreaded Zaw Min]] a vicious Burmese drug lord, who has set up his base in the jungles of a strip between the Thai and Myanmar border. Zaw terrorises the local villages, having his men regularly [[WouldHurtAChild abduct children as young as six]] to force work as [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slave labour]] producing and packaging his Heroin. Zaw was responsible for shipping massive amounts of the drug, to the point of having set up a base within LA, smuggling the drugs out of Thailand in shipments of green tea.
** "[[Recap/SWATS06E17Stockholm Stockholm]]" involves the team going after [[FauxAffablyEvil Eli Wyatt]], a brutish yet cunning and charismatic [[HumanTrafficking sex trafficker]]. Following being forced to abandon his original ring to escape the FBI, Eli murdered a man to steal his identity and managed to con his way into taking over the Evans farm on the outskirts of LA, which he turned into his base for his new forced prostitution ring. Abducting vulnerable teenagers from the city, Eli would pimp them out at local motels whilst keeping them trapped in the barns when not working.

** In RealLife LAPD SWAT is a dedicated unit that only serves high-risk warrants, deals with barricaded suspects, or when patrol officers are outgunned. They do not do detective work, collect evidence, or chase down leads. However since this would leave only three plot scenarios; the show has the SWAT team doing these things when they're not on an active raid or mission. Most of the things that the team is shown doing in terms of following leads or building cases would be handled by detectives or patrolmen in the real LAPD.

Both cults were predicated around a celestial event (The Hale-Bopp Comet for Heaven's Gate; Draconid Meteor Shower for Virgo's Temple) signaling an alien ship which will take all of the believers to another place. Part of ascending to the ship involves a ritualistic mass suicide by the members of both cults.
