When Fire Country returns with season 4, Max Thieriot’s Bode Leone will probably go down a dark path, thanks to a troubling update concerning his upcoming character arc. The CBS action drama revolves around Bode, a former inmate turned firefighter. He works alongside his family (his father, Vince Leone, and his mother, Sharon Leone) for Cal Fire in the series, which is obviously a very dangerous job. As many will recall, this risk came into play when Fire Country season 3 ended with a devastating cliffhanger. Heading into season 4, it’s unclear which characters survived and which ones didn’t.
The Fire Country season 3 finale featured the characters fighting off the Zabel Ridge fire. Walter Leone, Bode’s grandfather, recruited his grandson to persuade the Buena Vista memory care facility to order an evacuation to escape the fire. Bode came to Walter’s rescue, of course. However, his heroic actions also put his family at risk because Vince and Sharon went to the treatment center, too. At the end of the episode, Vince, Sharon, and Walter were seemingly inside the burning building when the roof collapsed, and Jake Crawford had to hold Bode back from running inside to help them.
