In Fire Country season 3 episode 10, Walter's health was a growing concern for the Leone family. Despite Walter completely forgetting Bode's graduation date and even setting Vince's kitchen on fire in the previous episodes, Vince was hesitant to acknowledge that anything was seriously wrong with his father. However, Sharon recognized the early signs of impending disease and wanted to get medical tests done for clarity.
Vince rejected this idea and insisted that they would handle it 'the Leone way.' Bode suggested a fishing trip, and he, with Vince, Luke, and Jake, took Walter along. However, tensions rose when Walter accidentally revealed Luke's plan to move to Japan. This led to a conflict between Vince and Luke, as the move would leave Vince responsible for Walter—a decision Luke had not discussed with him.
The situation got worse when Walter wandered off in the middle of the night, leading Bode to follow him, only to stumble upon a man trapped in a crashed car. The family was successful in rescuing the man, and the mission brought some emotional healing for Vince and Luke, who discussed their issues later.
Meanwhile, the trip and the rescue mission made Bode understand his mother's point of view, as he could clearly see his grandfather struggling. The fishing trip was a wake-up call for the family, and Bode confided in Sharon after returning. They agreed that Walter needs to be taken to the doctor, even if Vince isn't ready to face the truth yet.
Another big revelation was made in Fire Country season 3 episode 10, when Jake finally confessed to Bode that he and Gabriela slept together, expecting backlash. Surprisingly, Bode handled the situation with maturity, admitting it was not ideal but affirming that Jake was family. It was a moment of growth for both men, proving that Bode is truly trying to move forward.
A baby's arrival sparks a bond between Gabriela and Audrey in Fire Country season 3 episode 10
In Fire Country season 3 episode 10, the unexpected arrival of a newborn at Station 42 gave way to emotional character arcs for both Gabriela and Audrey. The baby, named Calvin, was surrendered under the station's 'baby box' policy by his mother towards the start of the episode. The mother later returned, insisting that she was overwhelmed and wanted to take her baby home.
Sharon and Audrey were on duty, and Gabriela, although suspended from duty, was also present on the scene at the time. Sharon took a professional approach, but the situation stirred strong reactions from the other two women. Audrey, who revealed she was abandoned as a child, was opposed to returning the baby to his mother because she felt the mother might leave him again.
On the other hand, Gabriela felt that the mother should be given a second chance, reflecting on her and Manny's past struggles. Sharon stepped in to remind them that personal feelings don't override protocol, and since the incident was reported, it would go through the proper channels before any decision was taken.
Although they had differing views, Gabriela and Audrey actually connected through their discussion and found common ground by the end of Fire Country season 3 episode 10. Gabriela showed significant character growth as she was also aware of Bode and Audrey's developing romance but was not affected by it. She offered to teach Audrey how to swim, proving that healing and understanding can come at unexpected moments in Fire Country season 3.
