The Big Picture In the Season 2 finale of the CBS series Fire Country, Bode was faced with the decision of either telling Gabriela how he really feels about her or watching her marry another man. At the same time, he’s coming to terms with the reality that being a free man means that he’ll no longer be going out to fight fires with the inmate fire camp.
MAX THIERIOT: The conversation has been ongoing since the beginning. When does this take place and what does that look like? Given the stuff that we’ve shown thus far and the stories we’ve told of him being in and being at fire camp, I think everybody felt like we had told a lot of the story of what that looks like. It also presents its own set of challenges to include more and more scenes of him interacting with his family and Gabriela and all these people.
THIERIOT: Yeah, that’s the biggest thing. That’s why, at the end, we see him go to his uncle and say, “I need to fight fire. This is what I need to do.” He’s been told what to do for a long time and his purpose has been driven by somebody else who’s calling the shots, and now that he has to make these decisions for himself and he is free, he’s changed. He’s had a lot of growth over the seasons, as a character, with the decisions that he makes, how he looks at himself now, and at his own life.
THIERIOT: That was Tia ’s vision and she had put a lot of time and thought into how she wanted to tell the story. Honestly, it’s a tricky scene and a tricky finish, but I was really excited and happy with how she decided to go about it. Him saying, “I object,” and running up there would have been the thing that we’ve seen a million times. I’m sure, in part, the audience is dying for that to happen.
THIERIOT: For sure, yeah. His heart is there, but he knows he has a lot of work to do on himself. He’s only just gotten out. This whole Genevieve thing is still very much a big question. He knows even though his heart is there, he can’t look at her and Diego and say, “He’s not a good fit for you. I’m a better fit.” He knows he’d be lying. He knows that he loves her, but the reality is that he’s not in a better place than . He believes that Diego is a great partner.
THIERIOT: I think so. That’s definitely the hope. Given that Edgewater is a small town and small community, and everybody knows everybody, the hope is to continue to tell those stories with this sense of community and have people popping in and out of people’s lives. Whether it’s incident or just purely character-driven, you want to bury it in the idea of this community and this town and these people. I think it’s important to continue to make it feel like a small town.
