Manny’s return to Three Rock in Fire Country season 3, episode 3

made how loved he was there particularly evident. From the king-like

welcome he received from the other inmates to how eager he was in his tasks,

to the point that his intervention when the other inmate fell proved lifesaving, Fire Country season 3, episode 3 showed that Three Rock was the place where Manny felt most comfortable, even if he returned there an inmate. Indeed, Manny never had that type of camaraderie at Station 42.Even if his fellow firefighters, whose help was indispensable in securing him a fair sentence in Fire Country season 3, episode 3, welcomed him back in season 2 after he was dismissed as captain of Three Rock, Manny never felt as part of the group. This was all the more evident after Eve had become captain at Three Rock and tried to find ways to be accepted as such, while the inmates looked at Manny as family and Manny didn’t know how to help her, because he missed being part of that group too.Losing Three Rock as a consequence of the events of Fire Country season 1’s ending that landed Bode back in prison was devastating for Manny. Knowing first-hand how inmate fire camps could save an inmate’s life by teaching them something, providing them with a tight-knit group and leaving them with experience that could lead to their employment in the same field after their sentence ended made it especially difficult for Manny to leave. This made Manny’s return to Three Rock a joyful occasion, even as an inmate, because it meant he was returning where he felt most at home.
