Why Lina Esco Left SWAT

AI Summary
Lina Esco’s character, Christina “Chris” Alonso, left CBS’s S.W.A.T. in season 5, episode 22. Chris had joined the squad in the pilot as a canine officer and became the first female member of the unit, quickly proving her value. The show portrayed her as openly bisexual and highlighted the adversity she faced from childhood into adulthood.
