Bode and Gabriela go their separate ways in Fire Country season 3 episode 9
Fire Country season 3 episode 9 continued the storyline of the Chezem Valley Fire, which spiraled out of control, trapping Bode and Audrey even further. Audrey did not know how to swim, and Bode kept her afloat. He helped her hold her breath as the fire raged around them. When a water drop from helicopters doused the surrounding flames, they were able to escape.
Audrey found a tractor with the keys inside, and once their radios started working, their distress call reached Sharon. She ordered them to return to base but omitted a crucial detail: Gabriela was missing. Gabriela, overwhelmed by personal struggles, walked off during the fire after an argument with Jake.
Manny, violating his parole, stormed off to find his daughter. In the meantime, Bode urged Audrey to go to the hospital as she might have inhaled some water in the pool. Then, he went to Eve and helped her to save her family’s farm from the fire.
Manny located Gabriela, who was injured and sheltering in a brick bathroom. Their confrontation turned into a much-needed heart-to-heart about their strained relationship.
Unknown to them, Vince and Sharon, came looking for them as well. They crashed their vehicle, so even when they found Gabriela and Manny, there was no way for all of them to go back. Their rescue came when Eve, Bode, and Jack borrowed horses from Eve’s father's farm, and everyone was finally brought to safety.
In the end, Bode took flowers for Audrey in the hospital, which Gabriela assumed were for her, leading to an awkward conversation between the former lovers. Still, Gabriela told Bode that Audrey would be lucky to get the flowers, indicating that she is now aware of their growing affection.
She then visited Manny at Three Rock, acknowledged her mistakes, and decided to work on herself. With Bode and Gabriela treading down different paths, Fire Country season 3 episode 9 ended with them seemingly letting go of each other.
