There was only one question throughout the SEAL Team Season 4 premiere

Throughout the SEAL Team Season 4 premiere, we were all mostly concerned about Cerberus. Would he get to retire or suffer a more permanent fate?

Let me say that as much as I trust the writers not to create drama for the sake of drama, I also trust the SEAL Team writers to remain true and realistic. And it’s the latter that has had me worried throughout the summer and fall.

We all had a feeling something would happen to Cerberus. The show has been hinting for some time that Cerberus would be taken out of the team, but the worst we feared at first was retirement. Cerberus was off his game, and throughout the SEAL Team Season 4 premiere, he was more skittish than ever before.

I’m intrigued at how the show managed this with Cerberus throughout the episode. We know Justin Melick had been training another dog with Dita the Hair Missile recently but assumed Pepper was a replacement to bring in another dog. Is it possible that we had Pepper on our screens throughout the SEAL Team Season 4 premiere?

Who was the coffin for on the SEAL Team Season 4 premiere?

One thing that had us concerned for Cerberus from the promos was Jason sitting by a coffin. Would it be Cerberus?

Fortunately, we got that answer pretty quickly in the first hour of the episode. This was Jason in a flashback from 13 years ago. We got a few of these flashbacks to tell that story of the last time he was in the area. The coffin was for a young member of Bravo Team, and Jason blamed himself for the death.

So, if it wasn’t Cerberus, what did happen to our favorite four-legged character?

Cerberus was injured, but did he get to retire?

During the SEAL Team Season 4 premiere, Cerberus was injured. After running away from Brock, Jason went after him and a mortar split the two up from the rest of the team. Cerberus jumped in to save Jason from the enemy at one point, and that was when Jason realized Cerberus had been injured.

For the rest of the first hour, Jason carried Cerberus around to get back to the rest of the group. With everyone reunited, it was time to carry out the rest of the mission and find out whether our favorite dog would get to retire or would suffer from his injuries.

The great news is that Cerberus survived.

However, there is some (sort of) bad news. Everyone noticed Cerberus was spooked. The stress of combat and trauma was too much. After three years of service (which is like 21 for the guys, Ray says), it’s time for Cerberus to be retired.

Enjoy being a dog, Cerberus!
