Other characters were at times viewed as villainous for their debatable choices, such as Luke Leone after he tried to kiss Sharon or to close down Three Rock. The rise of Oxalta to villain in Fire Country season 3 was the first of its kind, as it was focused on over several episodes in varying degrees, with the firefighting drama slowly building up the conflict ahead of a future showdown likely involving many of Fire Country’s central characters. However, another character’s change in behavior also quietly hints at them taking over an adversarial role in relation to the Leones.

Jake’s Hopes & Conduct In Fire Country Revive His Villain Role

Jake Knowingly Went Against Sharon’s Orders

Antagonizing Vince and Sharon Leone at key moments in their lives – Vince coming to terms with Walter’s illness and his difficult relationship with his father, Sharon having to face Oxalta and Bode’s refusal to go along with the deal – leaves no doubt about Jake’s shift from hero to antagonist. This could come as a surprise given Jake’s supportive role throughout Fire Country, but in season 1, his role was more antagonistic, given how he hid his relationship with Riley from everyone and had taken over Bode’s role in Edgewater, to the point Vince and Sharon treated him like a son.
