The following accommodates main spoilers from the Season 6 premiere of SEAL Team, now streaming on Paramount+.
Those who thought SEAL Team‘s Season 6 premiere would merely be concerning the aftermath of the season-ending Mali ambush realized quickly sufficient that there was far more nail-biting to be achieved earlier than that literal smoke cleared.
The season opener’s breakneck first quarter-hour continued the cruel assault on Bravo Team, which was already down a person given the harm sustained by Clay, who — to place it calmly — had his proper foot practically blown utterly off by an enemy RPG.
I imply, sure, stated foot was dangling by a thread, and Clay, bless him, did his finest to reset his massively fractured leg with a makeshift splint. Heck, he even then leaped again into the firefight, launching a grenade or two and utilizing his sidearm to fell one bogey!
Jason in the meantime sneaked across the aspect of the canyon and got here up behind a number of the combatants, taking them out after which utilizing one man’s RPG to additional deplete their ranks. Bravo 1 then used a pen laser to demark an arriving enemy convoy for HAVOC to take out with their lone obtainable missile strike.
Bravo was transported to the identical Germany hospital that tended to them after an addled Jason made a lives-costing name in Season 5. In truth, Jay had a run-in with/shrugged off the identical physician who again then urged him to have his TBI seemed into, Trident be damned.
For Clay, in the meantime, it was very touch-and-go for the remainder of the hour, as he had suffered inside accidents/bleeding together with the potential lack of his spleen, plus the aforementioned leg wound, which was prone to an infection (in half as a result of when in the sphere he vomited up his antibiotic).
Stateside, Lisa apprised a distraught Stella of Clay’s preliminary accidents/situation. But at episode’s finish, Jason arrived with Mandy to relay the most recent from Sonny, who had stayed behind at Christie Brink-clay’s aspect: Clay’s proper leg, as a result of an infection, needed to be amputated beneath the knee.
Series vet Max Thieriot tells TVLine {that a} “huge emotional and physical struggle” awaits Clay, “a journey of incredible highs and incredible lows.”
Because though Clay had already determined to go away Bravo for a bit and concentrate on Stella and their new child son Brian, “We’ll see the struggles of somebody who’s coping with losing the best job and life they ever wanted, at a young age,” and who now can solely “look again and watch as his teammates proceed on with out him.
“It’s a lot…. He goes through a lot this season,” Thieriot burdened. “I would argue he goes through more this season than any character has gone through on that show.”
Given that Thieriot is now the lead of one among CBS’ new fall dramas, Fire Country (airing Fridays at 9/8c beginning Oct. 7), he didn’t take with no consideration Clay’s destiny maybe being much more dire. “Clay’s death, I think for everybody, has always been on the table,” he ventures. “The same can be said for probably almost every character on the show.”
Clay, although, as a substitute lives to see one other day — albeit the primary of many arduous ones — whereas Thieriot himself juggles sequence common standing on each high-octane dramas. (Oh, he’s additionally an government producer on Fire Country, which relies on the place he grew up in Northern California, and for which he co-wrote the premiere.)
It’s an bold workload, to say the least, however “I’m an ambitious guy!,” Thieriot says with amusing.
