SWAT Season 7 moves forward into Episode 11 behind Shemar Moore and a cast of characters setting up the explosive end to this season.
SWAT's latest episode (titled "Whispers") sees one of the group's core members become a one-man show to save someone new in his life while the series leader deals with a home invasion situation.
This comes amid multiple characters' exits from the series, which came before confirmation that Season 7 would not be the end of the line for the Los Angeles-based law enforcement team.
Season 7, Episode 11 of SWAT first debuted on CBS on May 3 before starting its streaming run on Paramount+.
