We can help. Let’s go — Gabriela.
3×01 What the Bride Said:
Fire Country season 3 trailer.
What’s Fire Country about?
Seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, convict Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot) joined an inmate firefighting program called Three Rock in season one that returned him to his small Northern California hometown Edgewater, where he and other inmates worked alongside his parents (Billy Burke & Diane Farr) and other elite Cal Fire firefighters from Station 42 to extinguish massive blazes across the region.
Then in the season one finale, Bode tanked his own parole, sacrificing himself for fellow inmate and friend Freddy. After six months in prison, Bode returned to the Three Rock crew in season two and a lot of changes: Manny (Kevin Alejandro), who got demoted after Bode went back to prison, ended up at Station 42; Manny’s daughter and Bode’s love Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) trained as a paramedic and got engaged to her trainer Diego (Rafael de la Fuente); and Eve (Jules Latimer) took Manny’s place as boss of the inmate firefighters.
Where did we leave Fire Country at the end of season 2?
Bode got an early release and is a free man.
Manny, who was about to be arrested for punching Luke (Michael Trucco) for trying to shut down Three Rock, briefly went on the run but returned to walk Gabriela down the aisle at her wedding to Diego.
At the wedding, Manny stopped Bode from trying to talk Gabriela out of it and we were left with her turning to look longingly at Bode as he left the church.
What we know about season 3 so far?
Gabriela and Diego’s wedding is interrupted before Gabriela says “I do”.:
Bode has to find his own way into fire fighting as a free man.
He turns to Amber Levin’s former fire camp inmate Audrey James.
Audrey presents with the grit and tenacity that her tattoos and prison record imply, but upon first smile she reveals the soulful spirit of a gifted musician and empath.

And to Jared Padalecki’s SoCal firefighter Camden, a twin flame to Max Thieriot’s Bode.
Camden is more Bode [Max Theriot] than anyone else on our show. I think they’re twin flames and similar and Camden’s able to encourage, draw out maybe the dangerous side of Bode, but he sees the talent and leans into it. He doesn’t try to put lightning back into the bottle. — showrunner Tia Napolitano told TV Insider.
