While Street remains in Patrol duty, Chris tries to make him speak to Hondo and convince him to return to SWAT, before Hondo chooses to fill his position. But Street avoids it, even though Hondo has not closed the door to his return, as long as Street proves he has changed and he is worthy to be a SWAT member. Meanwhile, Cortez and Hicks try to persuade the representative of the new commissioner Michael Plank not to reduce their budget by 15%, while an earthquake will cause many problems in LA and will become an obstacle for Hondo’s team to save kids from Mack Drummond and Sal Desir who buy kids from their parents in Haiti and sells them.
