In "Shadow Riders" Jonas and the team are deployed to Afghanistan where they're tasked with delivering a young year-old girl as a bride to a year-old man from another village, as this is the Pashtun custom for establishing peace between tribes and villages.
They are required to purchase a prized horse at an auction on which the bride will be delivered. Along the way, they encounter trouble when different insurgents pursue them, and a Dutch doctor who had been working in a remote village came across the team and asked for help after evading danger for days. When the horse falls ill, they seek the help of a veterinarian in the nearest village to rehabilitate the horse. Meanwhile, the Dutch doctor protests the young girl being forced to marry an old man and attempts to stop it, ultimately dying in hostile crossfire.
When the team finally delivers the bride, the groom inspects her and it's revealed the doctor had secretly changed the girl's clothing to green clothing, which symbolizes impurity.
The groom refuses the bride, the treaty is refused, and the mission fails. However, Jonas is able to recover when he offers the prized horse instead, which they accept. In "Misled and Misguided" Jonas goes over various infiltration plans with the team to determine how to access a chemical weapons facility believed to be producing anthrax. He repeatedly quarrels with Dr. Metz, an analyst who disagrees philosophically with Jonas' instincts and training, and wants them to only trust the intel he's providing them, despite the risk involved.
When they eventually deploy on the mission, they find the team that had been previously deployed by Metz had, in fact, not died in their helicopter crash but rather defended themselves for several minutes thereafter and had a functioning radio the whole time, contrary to Metz's account of events.
They then infiltrate the facility and find that it's not a chemical weapons facility at all, and one of the previous team members was still alive and being held prisoner. They free him and ex-fil the base. In "Bad Beat" Jonas and Bob are operating undercover in Macau posing as high stakes poker players in order to get close to a Chinese General named Lau. Working in tandem to gain an edge in the game, Bob was planned to be the victor and ultimately wins an expensive Swiss watch from the General, angering him.
The general takes Bob hostage and his men proceed to torture and interrogate Bob to find out who his accomplice is, without success. Lau returns to the table where Jonas must proceed without Bob's help. Sullivan, posing as Jonas' girlfriend, helps deliver intel on the cards and setup another player at the table known to be an international criminal, to be framed as Bob's accomplice when Lau's men find the general's watch in his safety deposit box.
Carrying him to a nearby Catholic monastery, Jonas implores them for help saving Mack. While there Jonas learns the monastery is in possession of the Lance of Longinus, the Roman spear believed to have pierced the side of Christ when he died on the cross.
Legends believe that whoever possesses the spear was unbeatable, and that it has been both hunted and safeguarded by different people throughout it's 2, year history. While Mack has his own mystical experience in which he atones for three separate deaths he feels guilty over, Jonas is tested by the monks of the monastery.
He passes, and is shown the spear and told why they protect it. When he's told that U. However, as they're exfiltrating, Mack dies, but Jonas decides to leave the spear behind and in so doing, Mack is resuscitated. In "Hill 60" Jonas is out for a run when he notices several dead birds along the path he's on. He then notices an odd smell and retrieves water and a handkerchief from his pack, dousing the cloth in water and covering his face.
Having determined that they're under attack and the weapon is chlorine gas, he goes to Whiplash's residence and establishes contact with Colonel Ryan. They determine the point of origin of the attack, and once they rendezvous with Mack and Bob, the quartet proceed to a remote reservoir where they believe the chlorine is being administered into the water supply. There they discover multiple hostiles, eliminate them, and shut off the chlorine supply. At the end of Season 4, Molly decides to live away from Jonas after he refuses to retire for her.
At the end of season 2, Blane is targeted by the Central Intelligence Agency due to unnamed crimes that he may have committed. After returning from a mission in Cyprus, Blane and his team find that the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division is investigating Alpha Team, and has shut down the rd completely.
The Season 3 premier has him changing his appearance by shaving his head and growing a goatee similar to Dennis Haysbert's famous character in the Major League series, Pedro Cerrano.
Blane is found out by Brown who has him in sight through the scope of a sniper rifle. Grey brought Brown to Blane's boat where Brown insisted he was not trying to kill Blane, despite being caught by Grey in the compromising position he was in. Blane tests Brown by asking him to put a spoonful of rice cereal into his mouth and spit it out if he was not trying to kill him. Brown did this successfully and Jonas believed him, citing that when humans lie, saliva is not produced in enough quantity to spit out rice.
Blane, through his networked contacts, learned about how the Oil Minister of Venezuela was assassinated. Earlier in Season 2, Blane was ordered to kill the oil minister until Colonel Ryan had a change of heart after talking to a Congressman of another political party and realized it was a conspiracy by the big oil lobby to get rid of an actor in the oil market they could not control.
Blane and his local CIA contact whom he actually slept with to preserve his cover were eventually found out and Blane barely got out of there alive. It was this contact that Blane sought to find out to figure out what happened to the Oil Minister, whom a Congressional Review panel believed was killed by Blane after watching some doctored security footage.
Shortly after Blane found the contact in her apartment, they were visited by a CIA assassin.
