Is Kenny Johnson leaving SWAT, Dominique Luca?

Is Kenny Johnson leaving SWAT and his character of Dominique Luca following the new episode tonight? Should you be worried?

Well, the simplest answer here is yes. Weeks ago it was confirmed that both Johnson and Alex Russell would not be series regulars through what may very well be the final season of the show. By virtue of that, the writers wanted to figure out a way to carve out some proper exits for these characters.

Tonight’s episode serves seemingly as a way to get some closure to Luca’s story, and the biggest question we had to wonder entering the episode was simple — how would he say goodbye to the team? Also, does this really have to be the end of his story? Depending on what actually happens during the episode, you could argue that the door will be open for Johnson to still return later this season — in particular the finale. The entire SWAT team is very much a family, even when they are not in uniform.

Of course, there are still a lot of things that we need an answer to first, including how things play out from start to finish here.

So, what happened with Luca?

Well, it seemed going into the closing minutes of the episode that he was going to be okay. Then, he found himself shot multiple times on the street trying to stop a crisis in action. The cliffhanger left him completely in peril, and that is a really brutal way for his journey to potentially conclude.

Even if Luca survives, there’s a good chance that he may never be able to be a part of SWAT again — which is another way to solidify Russell’s departure from the series after being such a fixture.
