Since “I’d Do It Again” ended with Bode’s father Vince trapped inside a burning building, it seems clear that Vince’s exit will involve his death. This makes Bode’s Fire Country season 4 breakdown almost unavoidable, but comments from the show’s creator aren’t promising in this regard. Speaking to Deadline, executive producer Joan Rater said “There’s danger in this sort of job, so we wanted to honor that and really up the stakes.” Hopefully, Rater is referring only to Vince’s exit.
Gabriela Likely Won’t Be Killed Off In Fire Country Season 4
Fire Country Season 4 Shouldn’t Kill Off Stephanie Arcila’s Gabriela
Considering how the season ended and what the showrunners said, it seems unlikely that Fire Country season 4 will kill off Gabriela. After Audrey shot her stalker Finn in the series finale, Gabriela was left in relative safety compared to Vince Leone. As such, few viewers would assume that her exit means she is going to be killed off, as it seems Bode’s longtime love interest is safe from this fate. That said, Bode and Gabriela’s Fire Country love story could still end poorly depending on how her exit is handled.
Vince is almost certain to be the character that the show’s producer implied would die, since he was in the building when it collapsed and Gabriela was not.
Fire Country Season 4 Can’t Just Explain Away Gabriela’s Absence With A Throwaway Line
Quickly Forgetting Bode and Gabriela’s Multi-Season Romance Would Be A Mistake
Bode could be crushed by the loss of Vince, but he may also surprise viewers by growing and maturing due to the loss. He has already made a lot of tough decisions throughout the show’s challenging first three seasons, and Bode and Gabriela’s Fire Country romance is a testament to how much he has tried to show up for others despite his own issues. However, while Vince’s death could make Bode’s character growth better, this can’t come at the expense of Gabriela’s story.

Gabriela should move elsewhere in season 4, since this would be justified by her recent traumatic experience with Finn and her need for a fresh start after Fire Country season 3’s canceled wedding. However, she still needs to be integrated into Fire Country season 4 in some way, whether it be through phone calls or characters mentioning they have talked to her off-screen.
