‘Fire Country’: Scoop on ‘Bittersweet’ Bode & Gabriela Moment and Finale Wedding
“There will be a wedding,” Fire Country star Billy Burke promises of the upcoming May 17 finale. “What transpires at that wedding is in question, and Bode [Max Thieriot] might be rethinking his relationship status in the whole scheme of what he’s got in front of him.”
Before that finale, however, everyone’s heading to the campaign fire in Episode 9, airing May 10, and as seen in the photo above, Bode and his ex, Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila), whose wedding to Diego (Rafael de la Fuente) is the one coming up, will have a conversation. This comes after Gabriela’s mom (Paola Núñez) surprised her by showing up at the Firefighters’ Ball—off an invite from Diego—and talked to both her exes, Bode and Jake (Jordan Calloway). and Roberta certainly didn’t seem to think that it’s over for her daughter and Bode.
“I think that’s a special moment in the sense of, they haven’t had a lot of alone time together for a while,” Arcila tells TV Insider. “And at the end of the day, I think that Gabriela feels that she knows that Bode is a safe space when she needs to have a conversation or express herself with everything she’s going through. So I think it is going to be a bittersweet moment for the audience.”
As for the wedding, Arcila teases, “everyone is going to be shocked in every character, all the twists that come with each and every character. It’s a very emotional episode as well, especially for Manny [Kevin Alejandro]. And I don’t think people are going to expect what’s to come. It’s going to keep you on your toes.”
For Gabriela (and yes, she’ll at least be seen in a wedding dress), she continues, “there’s a lot going on in life and in her mind a lot to process and then go get married while you’re processing everything…”
No wonder “she’s overwhelmed,” according to the star. “And I think she’s nervous. She wants to make the right decision for herself, for her family. So I think realistically, you’d want more time to go through all of these things, but in the field that everybody works in, there’s not really much time.”
The good news is that Fire Country has already been renewed for its third season. And while Gabriela may be about to marry someone else, the relationship that everyone is watching is hers with Bode.
“They feel a lot, but I also think they both don’t know where they’re going to be left because the way that the episode ends, you’ll see why,” Arcila teases of the pair at the end of the finale. “The way that the episode ends, I don’t know how they feel where they both stand. I think they’re both really just hurt and confused and trying to keep it together.”
Looking ahead to the third season, she’s hoping “Gabriela starts processing some of her stuff and going through the waves of it and healing and you get to see everything she’s lived, all the consequences that it’s created in her character and in her being, because I don’t think she realizes that she’s always kind of been in the fight or fight mode subconsciously.”

I think she will leave Diego at the alter and go to Bodie. I think she still loves him but won't let her heart lead her. She loves Diego but in a different way then Bodie. Diego filled the void that Bidie left. I love the show. I think Max has done a wonderful job in fire country.

Hope writers get Bode out of the orange suit, so he can be on equal footing with Gabby and continue to grow as a character in the story line, emotionally and intellectually.Huge fires will blow the show's budget, so character development is key to the future.

I think if Gabriella marries the man who seduced the trainee he was supervising(Gabriela) it will be a travesty and i willo be done with the series. That will just be too much. Especially after two seasons of hype about the fairy tale love between Bode and Gaby. Were they lying to us the whole time?

It will take a while for Bode and Gabriella to put themselves first. I think they’re perfect for one another.

I stopped watching this soap opera before the end of season one. This should have been cancelled, not NCIS: Hawaii. Another dumb move by CBS. They need to get their heads out of their butts!

I hate really long drawn out love stories. Let them be together and move on.
That being said, BODIE PLEASE CUT YOUR HAIR!!

Gabriela and Bode should be together.

I know it's a show and you have to continue with the story to keep a show going, I need Jake and Eve to find their person, I need Bodi and Gabriella to find their way back to each other and keep Sharon and Cheif Leoni together, Sharon needs to take her position back from Luke he us a pos, I am invested in this series so much, I love it so much.

Bode needs to move on from Gabriela. She's a boring character, and wishy-washy, and he deserves someone better (more interesting). Bode should concentrate on himself for a change, and not constantly focus on his relationships with this person or that person.

Hate to go against the grain but it's Diego for me. Bode made his choice. Regardless if it was selfless or other. Gabriela moved on. She has a beautiful relationship with Diego. Diego has been inducted into the family. Do you just leave that to the waste side. Has she just been processing and stalling all this time? Is she not really in love with Diego? Its Jake. Oh now its Bode after a chance meeting. News alert, its really Diego. Sike, i think now Bode. Are we that fickle???

In addition, I'm walking down the isle or in my wedding dress before I realize he's not the man I want to marry. How many times are we going to do this. And all this time Diego had no sense that she was wishing for another man.

I think Bodie and Gabrielle should leave along with the show. Some of the worst TV series writing and acting I have ever seen.

Then why do you watch it? A million things on TV to watch, and you pick the show with the worst writing and acting you have ever seen? For some reason, no one believes you. 🙄
