It’s Bode’s (Max Thieriot) first day in cadet training
for the Edgewood Rescue Crew on Fire Country Season 3,
so naturally, it can’t start without a little controversy.
Jake (Jordan Calloway) wastes no time in confronting Bode and Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) about Gil’s (Paul Moniz de Sa) necklace, which he found in Bode’s locker. There are small mercies because Bode and Gabriela don’t attempt to lie to Jake, but he’s pissed because they have put him in the worst possible position. He tries so hard to be a cool boss, but they make it so damn hard! My favorite part of this entire exchange is when Bode has the nerve to deploy a sullen teenager routine and calls Jake out for going through his locker. Jake immediately reminds Bode that Bode does not own the locker, Cal Fire does, so Jake is the captain of the station and can search for whatever he wants. The fact he doesn’t rub in how freakin’ dumb it was for Bode to hide the necklace in his locker makes Jake a better person than I could ever be.
