'SEAL Team': AJ Buckley reveals there was a 'coming out' for Sonny in the finale after losing on clay

The SEAL Team tore into our hearts with "Damage Assessment," but no one was more devastated by the death of Clay (Max Thieriot) than Sonny (A.J. Buckley, who not only gave the episode's best performance but also is one of his best performances in the series).

Bravo is in a good mood, feeling like they're one step closer to going home, when Jason (David Boreanaz) receives word that Clay is dead. Of course Sonny wanted to go home immediately. In fact, Bravo was ready to back down after losing a brother – only they couldn't. They were the only team that could handle a time-sensitive operation.

Buckley covers Sonny's handling of Clay's death, including the big moment coming up in the finale and more.
