In addition to this episode, the Prison Break and The Walking Dead star Sarah Wayne Callies has directed two other action-packed Fire Country episodes — the penultimate episode of season 2 and the mid-season finale of season one.
What’s Fire Country about?
Seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence, convict Bode (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 has happened in season 3 so far?
Bode got an early release late in season 2 and is a free man.
A helicopter crash interrupted Gabriela and Diego’s wedding and the couple broke up.
Later Gabriela decided that a relationship with Bode was not the right thing either. They’re too combustible — so combustible that they keep hooking up.
Manny is sentenced to Three Rock as a convict firefighter for punching Luke (Michael Trucco) for trying to cancel Three Rock in season 2,
Bode becomes a cadet in the Edgewater training program under his friend Captain Jake Crawford (Jordan Calloway) and advances to Phase 3 under Jared Padalecki’s Captain Camden Casey.
