While Bravo is also invested in the mission, Jason has a personal connection after his son, Mikey, overdosed on fentanyl inSEAL Teamseason 7, episode 6. Thankfully, instead of continuing to hide this secret from his team, Jason tells Bravo about Mikey.
Nazario’s overall objective is to overthrow the Honduran government, and his deal with China is aiding that goal.
Despite learning that this mission is personal for Jason,the rest of Bravo are ready to throw themselves into the firein the penultimateepisode ofSEAL Teamseason 7 on Paramount+. In episode 8, the SEALs' op went wrong. They were approaching Nazario’s camp when they saw Ross Curtis, an American citizen. Just when they were about to pull back, Bravo was compromised and had to leave with their guns blazing. All the men returned to the boat unharmed, but it was by the skin of their teeth. Now, Bravo must recover and set out on a new mission in episode 9.
Is Bravo Able To Capture Ramon Nazario?
Nazario Is Now In The United States' Custody
After a couple of dicey ops, Bravo finally captures Nazario bythe end ofSEAL Teamseason 7, episode 9. However, getting to that point wasn’t easy. First,Jason and his men infiltrate Nazario’s yacht, but he isn’t on it, and it’s rigged to explode.Thanks to Drew Franklin, the SEALs make it out alive (although Jason barely makes it off before it explodes because he goes back for the boat’s GPS). The GPS tracker shows the yacht’s most frequent location (Nazario’s hometown), and Bravo suits up a second time to hunt down Nazario.

Thankfully, though, Lisa Davis locates Nazario’s SUV, and Bravo continues their chase.

One might think that the rest of Bravo’s mission capturing Nazario is more risky. However,Curtis is a Green Beret(aka he was in the United States Army Special Forces), and it will be much harder for Jason and Drew to get to Curtis than for Bravo to take down Nazario. Plus, Command orders Jason to assassinate Curtis, not apprehend him. So, heading into theSEAL Teamseries finale, Jason and Drew will be separated from the rest of Bravo as they track down Curtis.
Ross Curtis' Betrayal Explained
Curtis Was At Nazario’s Camp In Episode 8
At the beginning of “The Sea and the Hills,” Bravo discovers that Curtis was at Nazario’s camp of his own accord. He wasn’t sent by the DEA as an informant or by any other U.S. government agency, meaning thatCurtis is a traitor to the United States.Davis learns that, when he was with the United States Army Special Forces, Curtis was in Honduras in 2004 training Honduran soldiers, which included Nazario. Of course, this news shocks and infuriatesthe Bravo team inSEAL Teamseason 7, episode 9.
As Jason points out, Curtis has been so contaminated by war that he can’t escape it.
Ray deduces that Curtis was the one who introduced Jun Yilin to Nazario,starting their partnership over the fentanyl drug trade. Curtis is undoubtedly in it for the money, all the while not caring what happens to American citizens. As Jason points out, Curtis has been so contaminated by war that he can’t escape it. Sadly, Curtis' fate is whatJason’s final arc inSEAL Teamhas been all about. He’s worried that war is all he is and will ever be. Hopefully, seeing what war did to Curtis will wake Jason up and make him realize he can be more.
Why Jason Comes Clean About Mikey’s Overdose
Jason Finally Tells Bravo About What Happened To His Son
After Mikey’s overdose inSEAL Teamseason 7, episode 6,Jason essentially shut down and threw himself into his work.He didn’t let anyone in, not even confiding in Ray or Mandy. Jason’s closed-off tactic wasn’t working, though, as seen during the close call with the trap on the yacht. So, Jason finally informs Bravo that their mission in Honduras is personal to him because of what fentanyl did to his son.
The Bravo Team is surprised by the news of Mikey’s overdose, and they immediately express their concern for Jason (after making sure that Mikey is okay).Drew is the one who takes it the hardestbecause he thinks it’s hypocritical that Jason let his personal problems influence his decisions with the SEALs after Jason told him not to. Jason and Drew then have a heart-to-heart about both of their issues (Drew’s grief after losing all of his Echo teammates and Jason’s son almost dying due to fentanyl).
What Will Happen To Jason & The Rest Of Bravo In SEAL Team’s Series Finale?
Only 1 SEAL Team Episode Remains
SEAL Teamseason 7, episode 9, ends with Nazario in U.S. custody andJason and Drew setting out to find and kill Curtis.So, the series finale will likely open with Jason and Drew either succeeding or failing their mission before heading back home with the rest of Bravo (if they make it out alive). Then, the Paramount+ military drama series must figure out how to wrap up all its loose storylines.
Paramount+ will release theSEAL Teamseries finale, “The Last Word,” on Sunday, October 6.
Bravo has come a long way sincetheSEAL Teamseason 7 two-part premiere. However,Jason still has to work through his problems regarding how war has affected him.Ray has to make things right with Ben and officially retire. The investigation concerning who assaulted General Decker must come to an end (with either Sonny getting away with it or being implicated). Sonny and Davis' relationship needs to be addressed. Finally, Drew’s arc that began inSEAL Teamseason 7, episode 1, must have a satisfying conclusion.
