When a crew of armed robbers steal a thermal lance capable of cutting through just about anything, S.W.A.T. must figure out what they plan to do with it. Chris has doubts about her relationship with Ty and Kira, and Hondo strikes up a new friendship.
Tropes:
- Badass Bystander: Nichelle, who helps Hondo pull the victim of a car crash caused by the robbers to safety.
- Love Triangle: Since Chris was always attracted to Kira first, she's been devoting more time to her over Ty, putting stress on the relationship.
- Pet the Dog: Deacon tries to offer Chris some relationship advice.
- Trapped in Villainy: Wally, a former S.W.A.T. mechanic and old friend of Rocker's, is up to his eyes in debt, and the robbery crew are blackmailing him with enough cash to pay off his debts in exchange for being their mole in S.W.A.T.
