Why is ‘SEAL Team’ Season 4 Episode 5 not airing this week? Release date, spoilers and how Bravo Team will find Ray

The ‘SEAL Team’ episode ‘The New Normal’ ended with a major cliffhanger. Warrant Officer Ray Perry (Neil Brown Jr) went missing in a major blast in Tunisia. The next episode ‘Shockwave’ brought the Bravo Team together as they wrestled with how to help their brother and his family while Bravo Team is sidelined.
The one-hour drama focused on Operation Find Ray as the team came together to bring him back. The one question lingering through minds is: Will Ray return home soon or will the operation fail? In the episode, when Naima Perry (Parisa Fakhri) found out about her husband missing, she blatantly asked Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) for the truth. “Whatever you're not telling me, Jason... Please. Forget what you're not allowed to say. It's me. It's us.” In that poignant moment, Jason remarked, “I know... If I had any more information, I would share it with you. That's why I came here right away because I didn't want to keep anything from you.”

Why is ‘SEAL Team’ not airing this week?
‘SEAL Team’ premiered Season 4 with two new back-to-back episodes — titled ‘God of War’ and ‘Forever War’ — on December 2, 2020. More episodes in the series aired every Wednesday in the 9 pm slot on CBS. The fourth episode ‘Shockwave’ aired on December 9, 2020, and following that, the show went on its winter break. Announcing the break, SEAL Team Writers wrote, “Thank you all for watching the last #SEALTeam episode of 2020! We couldn't have asked for better fans to make it through this hell of a year with us. We'll be back in January 2021, and until then — happy holidays, happy New Year, and stay tuned!”
