While it appears that 20-Squad will at least be in a good place to roll forth with fresh adventures when things pick up during Season 8, there is one big question that remains unanswered at the moment — whether Dominique Luca and Jim Street (Alex Russell), both of whom were written out of the series during Season 7, will make a big comeback in the final batch of episodes.
Luca is last seen turning down a desk job in favor of retirement after a shooting causes nerve damage to his shoulder that leaves him physically incapable of passing the physical exam he needs to ace to be a part of 20-Squad again. Jim Steet, meanwhile, comes into his own as the leader of S.W.A.T. Long Beach and leaves 20-Squad to head up that team. He also announces his new engagement to a fellow former 20-Squad member, Chris Alonso (Lina Esco), with whom he’s maintained an offscreen relationship since she left the show in Season 5.
Both arcs show major growth for each character, and it’s currently unknown if the show will undo either character’s happy ending. Fans will have to watch Season 8 of “S.W.A.T.” in the fall to find out.
