Hector held a place in my mind as one of the better characters in The Unit, and one of such diversity, being a Special Forces Operator and a doctor, yet holding enlisted rank. He will always by me as the sort of man that would give you the shirt off his back, and one that would protect his friend or mission right down to his very last breath, as he did. He will be sorely missed.
We see a side of Sergeant Major Jonas "Snake Doctor" Blane in this episode, where vengeance gets the better of him over virtue. On exfiltration from Lebanon, he sends his team home without him whilst he attempts to capture the person responsible for Hector's death, rather than returning with his team to maintain deniability and operational security of the mission.
We also see Master Sergeant Mack "Dirt Diver" Gerhardt remorseful and ever-loyal to his fallen friend and colleague, Hector. Mack watches over Hector's body whilst they conducted an autopsy to remove the sniper round that brought an end to Hector's short but eventful life. Even after the Army Medical Examiner, who was a Captain, said that he would take care of him and that he was no longer needed, Mack stayed to ensure that his friend was treated with the respect and dignity that he deserved.
In this Episode, Charles "Betty Blue" Grey returned from Beirut critically wounded but stable, thanks to Hector's final actions before he died. We can see that Charles is deeply saddened by the loss of his best friend.
Bob Brown takes Mr. Granger (hostage from the last episode) to a holding cell, where he needs to bring him "on-side", and tell the press that he escaped on his own rather than having American soldiers rescue him, for Operational Security and Diplomatical reasons. Granger, being a journalist and suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, is somewhat opposed to this, because as a journalist he publishes facts, and he is also sympathetic to the Lebanese. In the end, Bob gets him to turn, especially after Bob revealed that if he didn't tell the press that he escaped on his own, that they could very well explain that Mr. Granger pointed a pistol at an American Soldier's head and depressed the trigger.
Colonel Tom Ryan appeared to know exactly what Jonas was going to do, therefore he followed Jonas' lead and created political white noise whilst he conducted his mission. It would also appear that Colonel Ryan feels responsibility for each and every soldier that he loses, as he keeps a small wooden box in his office filled with the bullets and shrapnel that kills each of them. We also see a very moving eulogy at Hector's funeral where he calls the name of every man in Alpha Team, including Hector. This part of the episode is by far the most moving, as it shows the feelings of each of the soldiers in the team in their eyes as they respond to Colonel Ryan's roll-call.
Overall, There was some indication that Demore Barnes was going to leave the show, as he was beginning a wonderful relationship with an ex-army Medic and when spending a night with her, he spotted Colonel Ryan and Tiffy Gerhardt together at a motel in a somewhat compromising position, and the being only Unit Operator that knew anything about that affair, it was slightly evident something bad was going to happen to him. Although this was the case, it will most certainly not stop me from watching this show each and every week. Well done!moreless
Jonas goes on a solo mission, enlisting the help of some local militants to hunt down a terrorist known as "The Butcher". Charles is still recovering in the hospital, Mack takes on the task of arranging Hector's final funeral preparations, with the help of the other wives and Bob has been ordered to deal with the rescued journalist. Ryan must deal with the man sent by Washington to oversee the cover story.moreless
