Preview of Fire Country season 3 episode 9
The official logline for the upcoming episode reads:
"With the Chezem Valley fire blazing out of control, Bode and Audrey must find a way to save themselves; Manny risks his freedom for his missing daughter; Eve tries to protect her father and their family's ranch."
Season 3 of Fire Country saw significant development in plot and characters as Bode Donovan was out of prison and finally became a full-time firefighter. His on-again-off-again relationship with Gabriela was central to the first part of the season, along with his developing romance with the newest addition to the team, Audrey.
In season 3, actor Jared Padalecki also joined the cast for a three-episode guest arc as Camden, a SoCal firefighter and Bode's training captain.
Showrunner Tia Napolitano talked to TVLine on December 13, 2024, about the character arcs in episode 9. She said:
"Oh, I’m so excited. I’m really excited about the premiere. It’s a shame everyone has to wait all winter break for it. It’s mostly a direct pickup. I mean, it isn’t an episode where you can really skip time."
She continued:
"You want to be in that pool, you want to be in that fire, you want to be with Manny. We have a lot of questions of how we will ever pull everyone out of this situation. And it’s a freight train, man. The premiere is just a freight train."
