The question that all Fire Country fans had after the Season 2
finale was this: will Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) say, “I do”
to Diego (Raphael de la Fuente)? The Season 3 premiere
answers that question, and I, for one, am very pleased to confirm that the answer is a resounding no. We all saw Bode (Max Thieriot) walk out in the middle of the ceremony, with Gabriela watching as he did. The wedding picks up in the middle of the vows as Diego pledges his love to Gabriela. When it is Gabriela’s turn, though, she hesitates for a very long time… so long, in fact, that even those most opposed to this wedding cannot not help but feel a little bad for her poor groom.
Fortunately for her, Gabriela is quite literally saved by the bell, which, in this case, comes in the form of her wedding banner helicopter crashing into the church (as omens go, not a great one). Gabriela jumps at the opportunity to help those in need without stopping to take the several seconds needed to officially marry Diego. Bode is the first to follow her, and they end up saving lives together once again. Of course, the two fight the entire time, which Manny (Kevin Alejandro) notices and refers to as a “lover’s quarrel” (maybe the only thing he’s right about in this episode). Manny later makes it clear that he does not think that these two should be together. Here’s the thing: I like Manny — I really do — but he is wrong about this one.
