Fire Country season 2 ended with Gabriela walking down
the aisle to Diego and the couple getting married.
The hour concluded without Bode expressing his
feelings to his ex-girlfriend, and it appears as if it is too late for Bode to try to get back together with Gabriela. The window is now shut, and it’s hard to feel bad for Bode when he had numerous opportunities to act on his feelings throughout Fire Country season 2, just to run out of the chapel during the ceremony. So, when season 3 premieres, Bode has to move on from Gabriela (officially).
Bode initially went to the wedding intending to pull Gabriela aside before the ceremony to ask her to call off her nuptials (and be with him instead of Diego). He had built the courage to win Gabriela back once he became a free man in Fire Country season 2. But when Bode arrived, he couldn’t push away Manny’s remarks about his daughter’s happiness, and Bode backed down from his original pursuit. All Bode ever wanted was for Gabriela to be happy, and if she can’t find that with him, he has to accept that being with Diego gives her joy.
