Why Isn’t ‘Fire Country’ New This Week?
After that crushing blow Fire Country delivered to Bode (Max Thieriot), fans are going to wait a bit longer to see how he deals with the news that he’s not Genevieve’s father.
The CBS drama is not only not airing a new episode on Friday, April 19, it’s not on at all. (Two reruns will be airing on Saturday, April 20, however: this season’s fourth and fifth episodes, which include the heartbreaking death.) Instead, taking up the rest of primetime after a new episodes of S.W.A.T. is a rerun of Billy Joel: The 100th – Live at Madison Square Garden, due to the demand after it did not air in full for some viewers the first time on April 14.
“A network programming timing error ended last night’s Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones. We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song,” CBS said in a statement on April 15.
Fire Country will be back with new episodes on April 26—and the remaining four will air without another break through the finale on May 17. (The CBS drama has also already been renewed for a third season.) First up is Episode 7, “A Hail Mary,” on April 26, in which the future of Three Rock is in jeopardy as public opinion of the camp grows increasingly negative.
That episode will also have to deal with the aftermath of the paternity test that revealed Bode isn’t Genevieve’s father, and thinking he could be had been driving him all season.
“We’re going to see that really come into play for the rest of the season. He’s made a promise to Cara, and he is going to look after Gen. And obviously at that moment he believed he was also her father. But I think in Bode’s eyes, he still made a promise, and if there’s one thing we know about Bode, when he says he’s going to do something for somebody, he means it,” Thieriot told TV Insider. “But I think at the same time, he’s spinning a little bit internally and trying to grasp onto something to figure out what this means for him. He’s put so much of his energy and focus and his life in this that now, what does he do? And if he’s able to see this through for Gen, is that it or is there more? Is there more for him? And so I think he’s kind of spinning a little bit, and it’s not maybe in a terrible way, but inevitably we’ll get to see it come out in moments where it just boils over a little bit where he has to let something out.”

From being a huge fan of the TV show he is a cool guy and definitely deserves to be out of there because of the set up and everything thing else that he did good should be accounted and credited for so I personally think he's time should be done that guy deserves the second chance that no one wants to give him my hat is off to that guy

I agree!! I hope the test was a mix up - maybe intentional - and a new test shows he is Gen's father!!

I think the test should come out faulty and he really is a father, I also still want to see Bodie end up with Gabriella. And Bodie and Gabriella both wind up working for Cal Fire in the end. And to be honest with these interruptions and pauses of not being able to see the next episode because of complications is getting frankly very annoying I look forward to these episodes and when I find out, I can’t watch it because it’s not available. It’s very highly annoying. I hope you guys can figure this crap out, and have a consistency of an episode every single week

I was really hoping Bode was her father, even though he's a prisoner he has a certain amount of freedom and with that I think he can be a good role model to Gen. Bode has so much to offer her,to teach her. I hope he still does those things for her and with her, which we all know he will cause that's the kind of Man he is. Bode just really deserved a win and that would of been a huge win for him. There should be more men like Bode in the real world.

I really hoped that Bode would be Genevieve’s father. Now hoping the paternity test results were wrong. Bode has so much to offer Gen and it’s time for some redemption for him! Part of his redemption should include parole so he can further develop his family connections (including Gen) and maybe work with 3 Rock in a different way.
As for Bode and Gabriela, I would like them to remain friends but not get back together. It’s time to move on, let Gabriela marry Diego. They seem good for each other. Then, in season 3, once Bode has secured his relationship with Genevieve, maybe a new love interest could be introduced. In with the new out with the old, maybe?

I love this show, and not being able to see all of season 2 is irritating. I pray that this season ends with Bode and Gabby back together, as well as him making parole. He shouldn't even still be in prison after the truth came out about him being set up, and what he did for Freddy. Bode should be out in the world working his way towards working at Cal Fire with his family someday, and living happily with Gabby. Gabby and Bode should have a baby in the 3rd season.
