T2 WHATS UP! October 10 - 16, 2021 BY RACHEL JONES TV Media S till spinning from the loss of one of their own, television's favor- ite SEALs are jumping into their next mission when "SEAL Team" returns for an epic Season 5 on Sunday, Oct. 10, on CBS before moving ex- clusively to Paramount+. "SEAL Team," created by Benjamin Cavell ("The Stand") and produced by CBS Studios, is a TV military dra- ma series that premiered on Sept. 27, 2017. It follows an elite unit of United States Navy SEALs led by David Boreanaz ("Angel") as Master Chief Special Warfare Opera- tor Jason Hayes. Hayes' Bravo team also includes Clay Spenser (Max Thieriot, "Point Break," 2015), a second-gener- ation Navy SEAL in training, and Amanda "Mandy" Ellis (Jessica Paré, "Atypical"), Bra- vo's CIA liaison. Also returning for Season 5 is Chief Warrant Officer 2 Raymond "Ray" Perry (Neil Brown Jr., "Bayou Sales," 2019), the longest-tenured SEAL and best friend to the team captain, and Special Warfare Operator First Class Sonny Quinn (A. J. Buckley, "Pure"), a loyal but unpredict- able SEAL who would just about always choose a fire- fight over a leadership posi- tion. And viewers can't forget about Lieutenant Junior Grade Lisa Davis (Toni Trucks, "Cor- porate"), the DEVGRU Intelli- gence Officer assigned to Bra- vo. In the season's opening epi- sode, the team is stunned to discover that the "training" it's currently undergoing is actu- ally a front for an ongoing un- derground mission that seeks to extract a weapons expert from one of the deadliest cor- ners of the globe. Though not exactly thrilling news to the team, especially after a particularly difficult fourth season, the SEALs are up for whatever mission the United States of America asks. The Season 4 finale was cat- astrophic, to say the least, leaving its audience and char- acters in a rather precarious situation. The Bravo team lost its comrade Scott Carter, aka Full Metal (Scott Foxx, "Only the Brave," 2017), to injuries after he shielded his team from a shoulder-fired missile. And as if that loss weren't enough to grapple with, a slew of personal problems surfaced for various members of the SEAL team. Jason finally convinced Ray to get therapy, and after months of fighting, Ray un- loaded all of his trauma on his wife, Naima (Parisa Fakhri, "Castle"). Their relationship had become a dark cloud looming over the reunion be- tween Clay and Stella (Alona Tal, "Burn Notice"), with Clay seeing Ray and Naima's story as a kind of sinister foreshad- owing for their own future. Still, the show knows that for every great tragedy, there needs to be some levity, so why not a wedding? Clay popped the question to Stella and they ended up getting married at city hall.
