It’s been nearly two months since Fire Country’s third season left us with a ton of questions about some intense cliffhangers, and it’s time to wonder what will happen when Season 4 premieres on the 2025 TV schedule. The season finale left the lives of Sharon Leone (Diane Farr), Vince Leone (Billy Burke), and Walter Leone (Jeff Fahey) hanging in the balance after they got trapped by a fire in a memory care center. Now, although I’m second-guessing myself over who could die following a couple of cast exits, Max Thieriot got real about why he’ll worry for Bode if a specific death happens, and I’m right there with him.
As Sharon, Vince, and Walter got stuck in the center when a part of the building collapsed, Bode was being held back by firefighters. All he could do was watch his family get trapped, and he had no way of knowing if they were okay. Thieriot told TVLine what the aftermath of the finale will be like for Bode and how things could possibly go for him if he has to deal with his Vince’s death, specifically:
Bode has obviously gone through a lot of hardship in his life. And it seems like every time he feels like he’s coming out the other side, something happens. So I worry what [Vince’s death] would do to him, and how poorly he would respond.
Obviously, whoever doesn’t make it out of the fire is going to change Bode forever, since that is his family, literally. But it makes sense that he could really go off the deep end if Vince were the one to die in the fire, because he’s tried so hard to make him proud, and he was the one who went back in with Vince’s father, no less.
Unfortunately, it’s been reported that Billy Burke will exit the series, making Vince’s death more likely, and there’s no telling how Bode will deal with whatever happens since he’s never had to deal with anything like this. To that point, Thieriot said:
We know [Bode has] made leaps and bounds as far as the person he is after being incarcerated, but has he come fare enough to deal with something like that or not? It’s heavy.
