SEAL Team went on a winter break after the Season 3 Fall Finale (Episode 10), titled Unbecoming an Officer, aired on Wednesday, December 11. The episode followed Jason leading the Bravo Team on a mission for the first time after recovering from surgery.
The team ran into trouble during the mission to capture a Russian arms dealer Yevgenny Kostarov (Bogdan Yasinski). A bomb explosion ripped through the building where they were searching for Kostarov but fortunately no member of the team was hurt.
They were trapped in the building after the explosion, but they later escaped and returned in time from the mission to speak in defense of Ensign Lisa Davis (Toni Trucks) who was facing disciplinary action for a violation.
