[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 5 “Edgewater’s About to Get Real Cozy.”]
We might not prefer it, however it doesn’t look like now’s the appropriate time for Bode (Max Thieriot) and Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) to get again collectively on Hearth Nation. Positive, they’re hooking up (in his mother and father’ Airstream, which is the place she’s at present dwelling), however they’re not again collectively—and she or he’d reasonably maintain doing that than face the whole lot else occurring in her life.
However for Bode, issues are going nicely. He’s in Section 3 of firefighter coaching, with a brand new teacher Camden (Jared Padalecki), who sees his expertise and desires to make use of it, having him do issues in emergencies that others may not at his degree. Not everybody (Diane Farr‘s Sharon and Jordan Calloway‘s Jake particularly) is glad about that.
Under, Thieriot discusses Bode and Gabriela’s sophisticated relationship, the stress ensuing from Camden’s method to educating, and extra. Plus, watch an prolonged model of Billy Burke and Leven Rambin‘s efficiency of Miranda Lambert’s “Vice” from the tip of the episode.
It appears like Bode and Gabriela are in two totally different locations as they’re each coping with the place their lives are actually. He’s discovering his place in Edgewater and with the folks there and she or he’s pulling away from everybody. It nearly appears like this isn’t the perfect time for both of them to be in a relationship however for various causes. What’s your take?
Max Thieriot: I fully agree. I feel that we’ve puzzled so lengthy what their relationship shall be like once they’re each in a position to bodily be collectively and don’t even have this barrier between them. And now that she’s referred to as off her marriage ceremony, it doesn’t actually exist and Bode is free. I feel that we’re type of studying that perhaps it’s not that simple. Gabriela is actually fighting all of her personal private issues in her life and is so unsure about so many issues. For the primary time now, we’ve seen it type of flipped for Bode. Bode is a Bode who’s so sure and assured and feeling like he’s lastly attending to reside the life that he wished to reside, however she’s in a very totally different place than he’s now. And so I feel there’s type of this conflicting uncertainty between the 2 of them.
I feel that Bode at all times desires what’s finest for everyone and he’s keen and is attempting to be there to assist her and to be the shoulder for her. She appears actually at the least dedicated on doing the whole lot alone and is variety shutting down and shutting everyone out. And I feel it’s arduous for the 2 of them, however it’s undoubtedly creating quite a lot of good cleaning soap and drama and an enormous a part of the story this season shall be type of determining and defining what their relationship is and what they’re.
A promo exhibits him telling her he has to decide on between being the perfect firefighter and her, however it additionally looks as if she’s not likely within the place for him to make such an enormous determination and depend on her to make it.
Actually. Yeah, it’s some good drama developing.
I really like how a lot Bode is basically trying to the longer term. He’s getting that job at Smokey’s. Love the Leones taking up, however how is that going to go together with the household working there collectively?
I feel it’s going to be enjoyable. It’s going to be enjoyable to see our folks at this staple of Edgewater. It’s a actually thrilling approach for us to type of construct out the city and this household and simply type of this small-town feeling that you simply get once you’re there and this sense of neighborhood that Smokey’s helps present. It’s a well-known place. We’re going to get to see quite a lot of actually enjoyable interactions with that developing.
There’s clearly rigidity between Camden and Jake in terms of Bode. However it appears like Bode goes to be getting type of caught within the center. And the factor is although Camden is momentary, Jake is his finest good friend. How is Bode dealing with that?
Bode is aware of that Camden is his teacher and he has to earn his respect and his belief and observe his orders in these moments. And I feel that it’s a tough factor as a result of Jake is aware of Bode as an individual and as a good friend and as his finest good friend has recognized him perpetually. Camden solely is aware of him as a firefighter, and so he solely sees his intuition and his abilities as a firefighter, however he doesn’t know Bode on a private degree. And I feel that’s the place the battle actually lies, is that whereas Camden’s rationality will work for the common firefighter or cadet that he’s coaching, he doesn’t know Bode like Jake does. And so I feel Jake has, rightfully so, quite a lot of concern for Bode and even when that is how he thinks that he ought to function, is it the perfect factor for Bode personally?
It appears like Bode and Jake are in the perfect place that we’ve seen them, too.
For certain. Yeah, for certain. Over the course of the season, we get to—which I’ve been actually trying ahead to—actually type of discover their friendship an increasing number of and extra and get to see quite a lot of that, which I feel is one thing the viewers goes to like attending to expertise. It’s at all times been type of at a distance and now we get to see the 2 of them collectively lots, which is enjoyable.
It’s clear that Sharon just isn’t a fan of Camden’s in any respect from this episode and a preview exhibiting her calling him a sociopath. She and Vince aren’t precisely on the identical web page about that and over-parenting Bode. So what does that imply for Sharon’s relationships with Bode and Vince going ahead?
Sharon is mama bear, particularly after the whole lot that they’ve gone by as a household and Riley and Bode getting again and now Bode lastly truly actually out. I feel she simply has a lot concern and nervousness over something taking place to him. And she or he’s very, very protecting and Vince, alternatively, is, however he’s additionally type of at all times taking part in satan’s advocate of, he’s a grown man. We have now to let him be grown up and make choices and do issues. And I feel that scares Sharon lots. It’s her child. And so I feel seeing anyone new are available that’s not a part of the household and take over the accountability of educating him and coaching him scares her. Yeah, Camden does issues in a different way than the brand new college students. As a mother, that’s not her favourite. So it’s going to be enjoyable to see the dynamic between the 4 of them and I feel it in the end has a extremely type of fulfilling however thrilling arc for all of them that we’re going to discover within the subsequent few episodes. So we get to lean heavy into that developing.
The physician says that Sharon is ok, however she says she is aware of she’s not. And naturally, I belief her. What’s developing there?
We are going to get to see, presumably within the subsequent episode, some realization of what’s occurring. So that may all begin getting unpacked.
