On a show like Fire Country, the characters are always a scene away from disaster in one form or another. Typically, it’s a raging inferno or someone trapped under, in, or on something.
However, this series boasts as much drama as it does action. So, sometimes, the only real danger to a character is their own moral compass.
For three seasons of Fire Country, Bode Leone has endured one struggle after another. Yet, somehow, he has avoided falling back on his old drug habits.
It seems those days are over, as the show has been building up to Bode’s relapse. We can only hope Audrey can pull him from the shadows before he’s lost to his own inner darkness.
Edgewater’s Hometown Hero May Be Getting High on Pills Pretty Soon with the Way the Promos Have Been Zeroing in on His Former Drug Use
I know the “Bodriela” fans aren’t going to like hearing it, but Bode’s possible drug use may very well bring him and Audrey even closer together.
In the promo for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 16, Audrey and Bode are in one of the firetrucks as Mr. Leone laments to his lovely lady about his past.
Audrey not only responded with sympathy but also with a clear understanding of Bode’s mindset. That’s why Bodrey works so well. The characters have walked similar paths, and both are trying to carve out a happy life.
Sure, Gabriela is on a comparable personal journey, but her experiences differ from those of Bode.
Even though I still think Bode should be single and in therapy, I’ll say that if he’s going to be with anybody, he’s not going to steer himself wrong going with a woman who is deadest on being the best version of herself.
Still, if Max Theriot’s (SEAL Team) Bode does relapse, it will have a ripple effect on every character and Fire Country as a whole.
We can’t have Edgewater’s Hometown Hero high on pills while running into burning buildings to save people who deserve a clearheaded rescuer.
Besides, Sharon Leone has enough on her plate with Walter and his dementia. The last thing she needs is to say goodbye to her only child — especially when it seems the family drama is never-ending.
You see, the one thing the promo for “Dirty Money” doesn’t tell or show you is that Sharon’s stepsister, Mickey, is back, and she’s bringing the heat with her.
Fire Country Brings Back a Previously Introduced Character That Inspires New Hope for the Spinoff Series
When last we saw Mickey Fox, she was digging up past grudges with Sharon on Fire Country Season 2 Episode 6.
Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t that episode supposed to be a backdoor pilot for Baccarin’s own show?
Don’t worry because TV Fanatic has an update on that front, as well as what’s going to be going down on “Dirty Money.”
The official synopsis for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 16 reads, “Bode and his aunt, Sheriff Mickey Fox, investigate an attempted murder on her estranged father, Wes Fox.”
Last time, Morena Baccarin‘s Mickey spent most of her scenes going down memory lane with Sharon, but now we’ll see what kind of dynamic she and Bode have.
More importantly, though, we’ll get to see more of Sharon’s family, which is nice because, as much as I love the Leones, their household is very testosterone-heavy.
However, at least the Leones try to stay on the softer side of the law. Sharon’s stepdad is not exactly the law-abiding type.
Sharon Leone Can’t Catch a Break When It Comes to All the Father Figures Around Her, with One Suffering from Dementia and Her Own Skirting the Law
The description for Wes Fox says he runs an illegal marijuana business. So, the man has one daughter who is a Fire Chief and another who is a sheriff. Those apples didn’t just fall far from the tree — they’re in a completely different orchard.
It really comes down to the actor portraying the character, though. The casting will decide what kind of vibe and chemistry Wes has with his daughters.
However, all bets are off since W. Earl Brown is playing him. Seriously, there’s no way to estimate which direction the actor is going to take Wes Fox, considering how insanely diverse his filmography is.
He’s no stranger to television, that’s for sure. In the last couple of years, he’s been on MAX’s Hacks, Paramount’s Yellowstone, and Disney+‘s The Book of Boba Fett.
So, as much as I would love to say he’s going to play an ornery character or that he’s going to take the chill stoner approach, Brown’s characters are far too vast to find a common denominator.
At least one thing we know for sure is that Sharon and Wes’s reunion will establish whether the character fits in the story as a pot-stirrer or support-giver.
Although, Fire Country fans probably won’t have to get that invested in the character since he’s likely only being introduced as preemptive worldbuilding for the spinoff series.
Oh, right. That little show that was talked about forever ago. What was it I wanted to tell everyone again? Ah, I remember now.
The Fire Country Franchise Is Growing with One Certain Spinoff and Another Possibly Joining the CBS Family
Sheriff Country has been set to premiere for the 2025-26 broadcast television season. Sadly, that’s a good-news-bad-news situation.
When TV Fanatic first reported on the spinoff’s announcement, we didn’t have a premiere date or a seasonal time of year to base our predictions.
A lot of us thought the series would premiere as a mid-season replacement while normally broadcasted shows took a break.
It’s great that we now know for sure when the show will make it to our screens, but we still have half a year before we get a chance to see what the CBS series has in store.
Best case scenario: Seeing Baccarin’s Mickey Fox on another Fire Country episode will reignite interest in the spinoff.
That’s not the only franchise expansion that could be coming our way. Apparently, Jared Padalecki has been considered for another spinoff for about a year now.
The Fire Country borders are about to extend well past Edgewater if things keep in this direction. I’m starting to think Jules Latimer’s Eve Edwards might actually get her own show.
There’s been so much that has happened on Fire Country Season 3, and everything is coming to a head as we inch our way to the season finale.
For now, check out the promo for CBS‘s Fire Country Season 3 Episode 16 below!
