Jason’s emotional journey in SEAL Team season 7
In the finale of SEAL Team season 7, Jason Hayes has an important moment of self-reflection. Throughout the season, Jason has wrestled with guilt over his role in numerous killings as a Navy SEAL.
His encounter with Ross Curtis, a former SEAL turned traitor, forces Jason to confront the darkest parts of his identity. Curtis represents everything Jason fears he could become—a man destroyed by war.
To atone for his past, Jason visits the wife of the first man he killed during a mission. This conversation becomes a turning point for him. The woman doesn’t blame Jason for her husband’s death, which helps him forgive himself.
This emotional release allows Jason to accept his past without being consumed by guilt. By the end of the season, Jason chooses to stay with Bravo Team, leading them into future missions. His decision not to resign signifies personal growth and resilience.
During a critical moment in SEAL Team season 7, Jason and Drew Franklin are tasked with eliminating Curtis. However, when faced with pulling the trigger, Jason hesitates and decides that Curtis isn't "worth it." This act marks Jason's transformation.
Instead of revenge, he seeks peace. Drew, however, completes the mission, killing Curtis to protect the team. This choice highlights Drew’s different approach to dealing with the trauma of war.
Jason’s decision to walk away from killing Curtis symbolizes his desire to distance himself from violence. It’s a major moment in his journey, reflecting his growth throughout the series. Despite this internal struggle, Jason stays with Bravo, reaffirming his commitment to the team.
Bravo’s final mission in Afghanistan
Jason, Ray, and Sonny are assigned to Afghanistan to help a former Taliban official on the last mission of SEAL Team season 7. The objective of the mission is to undermine China's increasing presence in the area and so destabilize the Taliban's influence.
Bravo Team discovers they are outnumbered and under constant fire even as the mission is successful. For Jason, Ray, and Sonny, this would seem to be their last. Though the show leaves the specifics of their escape unknown, they miraculously survive even though they are outgunned.
Capturing the high stakes and adrenaline-filled events fans have come to love; this mission was a fitting end for the show. Bravo confronted insurmountable challenges, but their survival speaks to the resilience and brotherhood fundamental to the show's subjects.
Sonny’s sacrifice: Giving up his trident
One of the most emotional moments in the SEAL Team season 7 finale revolves around Sonny Quinn. Earlier in the season, Lisa Davis faced an investigation for an assault on General Decker. In a selfless move, Sonny confesses to the crime, giving up his Navy SEAL trident to protect Davis’ career.
This sacrifice allows Davis to pursue her dream of working at the Pentagon. Sonny’s decision represents his deep love for Davis and willingness to step away from the battlefield for her happiness.
This marks a major turning point for Sonny, who has been a key member of Bravo since the beginning. His departure from the team, while bittersweet, offers a hopeful future for him and Davis as they start a new chapter together in Washington, D.C.
Ray’s new role: Head of Warfighter Health
While many believed Jason would step away from Bravo to lead Warfighter Health, it’s actually Ray who takes on this role in the SEAL Team season 7 finale. After struggling with mental health issues throughout the series, Ray’s new position allows him to help fellow soldiers cope with trauma, particularly traumatic brain injury (TBI).
This career shift feels right for Ray, who has always been focused on supporting others. Ray’s departure from the battlefield marks the end of his time with Bravo, but his new role allows him to continue making a difference. His storyline throughout the season has been one of healing, and his final decision reflects his desire to help others heal as well.
Plot details: The core of SEAL Team season 7

Jason Hayes struggles with his identity in season 7 and ponders his place on the squad. The final season introduces new missions, but the focus is on character development, particularly Jason’s internal struggle.
Season 7’s plot weaves together action-packed sequences and reflective moments, allowing the characters to grow while still engaging in high-risk operations. The finale ties up these storylines, offering closure for both the team and the viewers.
SEAL Team Season 7 gave the show a strong and moving ending. Jason Hayes's path of self-forgiveness came to an end when he chose to remain with Bravo in spite of the emotional toll war takes.
