1. “Tip Of The Spear”

This series premiere episode introduced Jason and Bravo Team. The primary mission in “Tip of the Spear” is an intense infiltration in Monrovia. It was to capture a high-ranked ISIS leader.

Boreanaz explained the episode as “I just always feel the pilot is number one because it’s just so new and fresh and the fear level’s high. You’re taking on a character and you’re trying to explore him, and you’re finding these great surprises with each character. And then, for me, it was just a nice mark to set off how that was shot, and going into New Orleans, and jumping into the role after I had turned it down, it was just a fun, fun episode for everybody.”

2. “Pattern Of Life”

It was a mission to locate a cell phone linked to a network of terrorists. It becomes more complicated when the suspect’s family gets involved and accidentally injured.

“The stakes were really, really high. I loved the drive and it was just simple,” says Boreanaz of “Pattern of Life.” “I think in our episodes, being simple is when we really win. Win as a team across the board from the production aspect of it, to the cast, and the stakes are high. I just love the jeopardy in that episode.”

3. “The Graveyard Of Empires”

This is the penultimate episode of Season 1. The first of the series that Boreanaz directed, Bravo Team is trapped inside a farmhouse after their helicopter is shot down by an anti-aircraft missile. As if that didn’t make the mission intense enough, Jason suffers a concussion in the crash and, while waiting for extraction, undergoes a series of hallucinations.

Boreanaz says that “I just love that aspect of seeing these characters have to take care of the situation in dire straits, and being under attack after the chopper went down, and it was fun being able to exfill on that episode. It was a fun episode to do, and there were a lot of challenges.”

4. “The Worst Of Conditions”

It is the one of the most emotional episodes of SEAL Team’s second season. Jason deals with the loss of his wife. He was forcing him to step down as Bravo Team leader and focus on his family.

He says this episode is “an examination of loss and how powerful that was. And, it was a big turning point in his character’s life. So, anything when you have that type of a story point that moves the character significantly, pushes that dial, it’s always good to see because you’re just really opening up new doors.”

5. “My Life For Yours”

In this exciting episode, Bravo Team struggles with executing a mission while Ray is behind enemy lines. Ultimately, they are tasked with a rescue mission that turns into one of the most complicated and thrilling missions in SEAL Team history.

Boreanaz described that “The horses and being able to do a spy raid maneuver, which has spectacular production value. What I love so much about our shows is that we’re able to push the envelope to do things that people are like, ‘How did you do that?’ And, it’s real. And the fact that the characters had to go find Ray… and go through so many obstacles to get there. And the end was just, I thought, spectacular.”

6. “Welcome To The Refuge”

In the Season 3 premiere, Bravo Team heads to Serbia to track down a criminal outfit who has been attacking U.S. military bases, while also dealing with the mental and physical struggles of the team.

“Being fortunate to go to Serbia and shoot… really helped the richness of the production value, and the production designer loved it, being able to shoot on location like that,” says Boreanaz of making the episode in such an exotic locale. “And, it was just an impactful start to a really phenomenal season, I think, this year. And so, I just go back and I see how Chris Chulack directed that and how the characters were coming back together.”
