Ep 22. Hoax

In this episode of S.W.A.T., titled "Hoax," the team is faced with a series of bomb threats throughout Los Angeles. As they work to track down the source of the threats, they soon discover that they may be dealing with a sophisticated hoax.

The episode opens with a tense standoff at a hospital, as a man claiming to have a bomb demands to see his estranged wife. Hondo (played by Shemar Moore) and the team are called in to negotiate, and it quickly becomes clear that something is not right. The man's demands are erratic, and his supposed bomb is never seen. When he eventually releases his hostages and surrenders, the team is left wondering if this was just a diversion for something bigger.

Their suspicions are confirmed when a series of bomb threats begin popping up around the city. Each threat is progressively more elaborate, involving multiple locations and the use of social media to spread panic. As the team works to track down the source of the threats, tensions run high. Luca (played by Kenny Johnson) is frustrated by his lack of progress and the pressure from his wife to come home, while Deacon (played by Jay Harrington) struggles to manage his family responsibilities alongside his work on the case.

As the team narrows in on a potential suspect, they realize that the situation may be far more complicated than they initially thought. The mastermind behind the threats seems to be one step ahead of them at every turn, and it's not just Los Angeles that's at risk - the threats have expanded to other major cities as well.

The tension builds to a dramatic conclusion as the team races against the clock to uncover the truth and stop the threats before it's too late. With twists and turns galore, "Hoax" is a thrilling episode that showcases the S.W.A.T. team at their best. As always, the show's strong ensemble cast delivers compelling performances, with Moore, Johnson, and Harrington in particular shining in their respective roles. For fans of action and drama, "Hoax" is a must-watch episode that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
