Ep 17. Jack

In S.W.A.T. (2017) season 2 episode 17, titled "Jack," the team faces their toughest challenge yet as they work to rescue a group of hostages taken by a highly organized and well-armed group of criminals.

The episode starts with the S.W.A.T. team gearing up for what they think will be a routine training exercise, only to discover that it's actually a real-life hostage situation. A group of heavily armed criminals have taken a group of people hostage in a downtown office building, and it's up to the team to rescue them before it's too late.

Led by team leader Hondo (played by Shemar Moore), the S.W.A.T. team quickly springs into action, with each member playing a crucial role in the rescue operation. While Hondo and his second-in-command Deacon (played by Jay Harrington) work to coordinate the operation from outside the building, the rest of the team moves in to take down the criminals and free the hostages.

One of the hostages is a man named Jack (played by guest star Lou Ferrigno Jr.), who quickly stands out to team member Chris (played by Lina Esco) as someone who may have useful information about the criminals. As the team works to rescue the hostages, Chris works to gain Jack's trust and find out what he knows about the group behind the hostage situation.

Meanwhile, tensions run high as the team faces an unexpected setback, leading to a dangerous confrontation that threatens to derail the entire operation. With the clock ticking and the stakes higher than ever, the team must band together to overcome the odds and rescue the hostages in time.
