SEAL Team season 7 episode 8, titled Appetite for Destruction, was released on Paramount+ on September 22, 2024. The latest episode brings the Bravo Team into high-stakes action as they continue tracking down Ramon Nazario in Honduras.

Previously in SEAL Team season 7 episode 7, Bravo Team touched down in Honduras to stop China's fentanyl drug trade by taking out Nazario and proving his connection with China. They found the stash house after several failed operations, which they later set on fire.

While they haven't found the former Honduran Special Forces colonel, they have linked him to a man named Roberto Dubon at the beginning of episode 8. He is Nazario's right-hand man, and by tailing Dubon, the Bravo Team makes several shocking discoveries that will halt their mission and put them in the line of fire.

Bravo Team is getting impatient with waiting for leads from the stash house they torched in SEAL Team season 7 episode 7. If they can't pin Nazario's connection with China soon, they can kiss their Honduras mission goodbye. Thankfully, in episode 8, they get intel on the closest person that can get them to Nazario, his right-hand man, Roberto Dubon.

The team is split into four pairs—Jason and Drew, Ray and Omar, Trent and Brock, and Sonny goes with Davis. They tail Dubon while tracking his crew's phones. Sonny and Davis follow Dubon in a club but lose him. The next time they see him, Dubon is about to ride away on his motorcycle. Drew buys some time by becoming Dubon's punching bag while Omar plants a tracker in his motorcycle.

Tracking Dubon and his crews brought the Bravo Team to different locations where they could find some leads on the drug trade. One location proves more eventful than others as Jason, Drew, and Omar raid a chop shop. They killed the two guards manning the shop but almost gave up when they found that nothing. However, the leather upholstery in a chop shop piques Jason's interest, leading him to cut through the upholstery of one of the cars.

There, Jason discovers a massive amount of fentanyl, and with what happened to Mikey in the previous episode, he's determined to destroy it. Despite Drew and Omar urging him to leave the bags of fentanyl behind because there's a group of armed men coming into the shop, Jason continues to destroy the bags of illegal drugs one by one. They soon encounter Dubon's men, and Jason, who was much too trigger-happy throughout the episode, kills them all.

Jason leaves a high body count in the chop shop, which angers Davis because the mission was supposed to be as covert as possible. She's understandably worried about how Nazario will react after discovering the suspicious scene of dead bodies that Jason left behind.

While Davis is unhappy with Jason's appetite for destruction in the chop shop incident, she admits that the Tier-1 SEAL Team's previous effort was fruitful. She discovers that there's a high-level security meeting going to happen between Nazario's army.

While they don't know the specifics because they lost the comms before they learned about the location, Intel brings the Bravo Team to a military staging area camp in the middle of the jungle. They know that Nazario isn't going to be there, but the team takes the chance to weaken his operation by taking out his army.

However, once they are in the midst of the staging camp and ready to blow up the place, their plan goes sideways. A car arrives, and Jason spots Ross Curtis, the DEA informant who was first introduced to the team in SEAL Team season 7 episode 4. Jason and the rest of the team are understandably confused as to why he is there and acting friendly with Nazario's men.

Davis, who is in the comms, tells Jason that they can't assault an American citizen, leaving them no choice but to rely on taking pictures of the scene for evidence and refrain from using their weapons.

Unfortunately, as the team plans their exit, one of Nazario's army stumbles on the people Bravo Team previously killed. The guard alerts the others before Drew can kill him, resulting in a gunfight. While Jason and the rest of the Bravo Team escape unharmed at the end of SEAL Team season 7 episode 8, there is a couple of bad news. They've made their presence known to Nazario and his cronies, and they still don't know Curtis' ties with Nazario.

SEAL Team season 7 episode 8 has a lot of revelations for the Bravo Team. Besides their mission to uncover drug trade secrets, the team also slowly reveals facts about their lives outside of their high-stakes mission.

Omar opens up about his past, following up on what he told Drew in episode 7 about losing his son. He tells Sonny and Drew that he found his wife cheating on him with one of his previous Navy SEAL teammates and how he turned to alcohol after discovering the betrayal. Omar also reveals that it took him years to get sober, resulting in his ex-wife getting full custody of their kid, Mo.

When Drew asks him why he didn't fight back for his son's custody once he got clean, Omar says that he doesn't want to mess up and complicate Mo's life. He adds that he's left sending his son presents from "Uncle Omar," which suggests that Mo has no idea that Omar is his father.

Lisa Davis, whom Jason says was babysitting the Bravo Team in Honduras, also reveals why she's tagging along with the Bravo SEAL Team for the mission. She tells Sonny that she's hiding from the Army CID. As teased in SEAL Team season 7 episode 7, Blackburn discovers that Davis told Sonny about General Decker's hand in the Mali mission, resulting in Sonny punching the General.

So, Blackburn sent Davis to Honduras, hoping that the tense situation would blow over and that she wouldn't be implicated.
