Every action-packed episode of ‘SEAL Team’ brings something new to the table and this time, it might be tensions between Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) and Ray Perry (Neil Brown Jr). Titled ‘Cover For Action’, the summary of Episode 8 reads: “When Jason returns to Bravo, tensions rise as Ray outranks him on a mission to recover military drones in Syria. Also, Sonny receives surprising news from Texas.” 

It seems things might get complicated for Sonny as his childhood friend Hannah (Rachel Boston) might be back in his life. Will that shake things up for him and Davis (Toni Trucks)? Moreover, what will be Jason's reaction when Ray outranks him and how will others feel about it? Another big question seems to be: Are Ray's torturers still around and will they strike again?

Teasing a snippet from the episode, the official account posted, “Door-kicking's not for everyone, but it definitely is for Jason Hayes. #SEALTeam is back tonight at 9/8c.” In another tweet, they wrote, “Wheels up in ONE HOUR! #SEALTeam.”



 



 

Jason had decided to step down from the team but he keeps getting back. Fans are confused and can't stop wondering when he will make the final decision. “I just don't understand the guy. Like he knows he needs to step away but he's just coming back,” one tweet read and another said, “Jason is never out of the fight.”



 



 

In a promo, Ray's daughter stops him before going on a mission and tells him, "Last time you went, you got hurt". Determined to fight the good fight, Ray tells her his job gives him a chance to be brave. And in another clip, Ray can be seen maintaining a distance with the rest of the team. Jason gives Ray the watch he lost in Tunisia but Ray tells him he has a new one. That prompts Jason to ask if he is okay. 

Captioned “Sure you're ok, Ray?” the video teases how memories of the torture still haunt him.



 

You'd think he be thankful and happy that Jason gave him his watch back. Instead it seems to have only brought back a bad memory for him. "Get the feeling he's going to have a few of these until he gets the terrorists who tortured him," one tweet read and another said, "Jason knows his friend.... Ray is a deep spiritual character, there is no way there isn’t some trauma that will be brought to the forefront and confronted at some point!! Glad he has Jason and all of Bravo Team there to support him!!! Go Get it Bravo!!!"



 



 

The new episode is written by Dana Greenblatt and Rashaan Dozier-Escalante and directed by Ruben Garcia. What do you think will happen? Will the torture continue to haunt Ray and affect his psyche or will he overcome the trauma in the upcoming episodes?

‘SEAL Team’ returned on January 13, 2021, with the fifth episode — ‘The Carrot or the Stick’ — from 9 pm ET to 10 pm ET after the winter break. After a one-week break, the CBS show is back with the eighth episode and will be telecast on March 3, 2021, on CBS Network in the same timeslot.
