We will see him struggle with the regularity of life.
He was incarcerated at first camp, but there is a schedule and guardrails.
He talks about it at the campaign fire.
So did Gabriela get married?
We did not see vows and rings exchanged.
Why was this the right ending for the season?
What you learn about Bode at that wedding is how much he is true to himself and his heart.
He is going to go ask her the question, Are you happy?
Then Manny bumps into Bode and answers that.
Hes not going to interrupt the wedding, but he cant watch it.
It just seemed like Bode being true to who he is as a character.
Were not going to lose that and Bode will feel a little bit of homesickness.
Could you give us an idea of how difficult Bode’s journey becoming a firefighter is going to be?
You have to get your record expunged.
You have to be extremely motivated to do this.
It takes time, it takes someone at Cal Fire to say yes.
People have feelings about the inmate program.
Its not an easy thing to do and we want to lean into the authenticity of that.
Cole has slowly cemented himself as a figure at Three Rock.
He had that great scene with Eve.
Hes clocking what well continue to see, which is the rise of Eve Edwards.
Im excited to see where shes about to go.
Eve says it to Manny on the campaign fire.
[Hes] the blueprint and that continues to be true, especially when hes down.
People look up to him.
What is he going to do next?
We root for him to do that.
Eve and Jake both had big seasons.
What might the future hold for them?
We are going to further complicate Eves position at Three Rock.
She still has inmates to lead and we will deepen her backstory and get to know more about her.
We will also get to know more about Jakes backstory.
Sharon decides she wants her job back.
Is she in for a fight against Luke?
She’s been on this journey that started with her wanting to get back into the field.
With this professional choice, what has this season been about for her?
Sharon goes through the growth of realizing when she said, I want to hold the hose again.
I dont want my old job back, that that was part of her healing.
It was a decision made in hurt.
[Sharon] was finding her footing again after Bode broke her heart and went back to prison.
It should be a sign of Sharon being fully Sharon again.
Thats what were most excited about.
It felt so refreshing and we have these fun scenes of Eve, Gabriela, Jake all joking around.
He can be there now, so we can dial up the joy and levity in season 3.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Fire Countrywill return for season 3 on CBS.
