Watch SWAT season 1, episode 7 online

SWAT digs into its team members’ histories in Thursday’s episode. Here’s how you can watch SWAT season 1, episode 7 live, on TV and online.

Thursday’s next episode of CBS‘s SWAT is going to get very personal. Here’s how to watch SWAT online or watch SWAT live so that you’re there when the show reveals more about both Hondo and Luca.

Thursday’s episode is called “Homecoming” because it involves Hondo (Shemar Moore) in contact with one of his childhood friends. Unfortunately, said friend is now in prison, and so he’s looking to Hondo to keep his son from becoming a victim of Los Angeles’s gang violence.

While Hondo tries to do a favor for his old friend, Luca (Kenny Johnson) gets some bad news when he’s told that his grandfather has died. Not only is losing his grandfather a big deal for him personally, but the death threatens to expose a secret from Luca’s family that he’d rather have kept quiet.

There will no doubt be quite a few painful conversations in Thursday’s installment, plus at least one or two backstory reveals. So if you’re a fan of Shemar Moore or Kenny Johnson, you’ll want to watch “Homecoming” just to see what they do with the history.

Here’s how CBS officially describes the episode:

"When Hondo’s imprisoned childhood friend asks him to protect his son from gang violence, the favor brings SWAT into contact with a new local crime outfit. Also, when Luca’s grandfather, a SWAT legend, passes away, he struggles with his grief and a painful family secret."
