Gabriela’s romance with Finn (Blake Lee) started out as just a seemingly forced storyline that could have just been a plot device towards getting Bode and Gabriela back together. Over the course of Finn’s time on the show, though, it has become clear that this character is not just unsettling, but dangerous as well. Last week’s episode of Fire Country showed Finn being controlling towards Gabriela, while this week’s episode explicitly shows him crossing a number of frightening lines. As Fire Country moves into its Season 3 finale, it is setting up Gabriela’s most intense storyline so far.
In ‘Fire Country’s Latest Episode, Finn Is Exposed as a Stalker and an Arsonist
Once alone in the ambulance with Gabriela, Finn gives her a fake apology, and then brings up their kiss. For a moment, it seems like Gabriela might give him a second chance. Elsewhere, though, Jake and Audrey have also found dozens of pictures of Gabriela in Finn’s dark room. The most recent ones are from that morning, and they prove that he has been stalking her ever since she ended things with him. When Vince (Billy Burke) insists on stopping the ambulance, Finn tries to fight this and even holds a scalpel to his own neck. He pleads with Gabriela, trying to get her to see him starting the fire for her as romantic. The ambulance finally stops, and Gabriela gets out, but so does Finn.
The Signs Were Always There With Finn Since His ‘Fire Country’ Introduction
A major red flag was when Finn bought Gabriela a brand-new cellphone while they were still getting to know each other, which Bode agreed was strange when Gabriela told him about it. Finn’s behavior has certainly been escalating over the past two episodes, but the signs were always there, and there has been something especially frightening about him from the beginning. Now, going into the season finale, Finn is on the run with a scalpel as a weapon, and his only goals seem to be to stay close to Gabriela and to avoid getting arrested.

Gabriela May Have To Kill Finn in ‘Fire Country’s Season 3 Finale
There is no doubt that Gabriela will get out of this alive, but it seems very likely that she will end up having to kill Finn to protect either herself or someone she cares about. Fire Country has been building up to finally addressing Bode and Gabriela’s relationship again in the season finale, so it’s possible that these two characters will be the ones confronting Finn, especially if Finn is jealous of Gabriela’s past with Bode. The most likely scenario is that Gabriela will kill Finn, although Fire Country might take an even darker route, and have Bode kill Finn and get sent back to Three Rock. Finn is not getting out of this alive, though, and the guilt will likely play a large role in Gabriela’s storyline in Season 4.
