[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Fire Country Season 1 Episode 18 “Off the Rails.”]
Bode (Max Thieriot) will get some excellent news within the newest episode of Fireplace Nation — a date for his parole listening to — nevertheless it looks like everybody else is extra enthusiastic about it than he’s.
Manny (Kevin Alejandro) is a bit cautious of him placing himself in peril on the scene of a prepare crash — the place they meet prepare hopper Robin (Kane Brown), who leaves his bag of money behind — as a result of he desires to verify Bode remains to be alive when that date arrives. And Gabriela (Stephanie Arcila) begins seeking to their future collectively, ultimately getting him to return round to speaking in regards to the potentialities.
In the meantime, what Vince (Billy Burke) and Sharon (Diane Farr) come to understand by episode’s finish is that Eve (Jules Latimer) has been struggling along with her psychological well being and certain self-medicating when she hits the bars.
Thieriot (who’s additionally an government producer) teases what’s forward and the way it will arrange what’s to return within the fall.
Bode’s parole listening to date is ready and we noticed how Manny is so decided to guarantee that he’s alive for it. Is that one thing we’ll proceed to see them clashing about, particularly because it will get nearer to that date?
Max Thieriot: For certain. Yeah, we’re going to get to expertise that each one the way in which. We’re going to attract that out and see how Bode’s parole date impacts all people and what it means, what it may appear to be for everybody sooner or later. We’ll see characters with reservations, questioning how he would do, after which Manny’s all the time championing. It’s an enormous factor that [Vince and Sharon] are kind of enthusiastic about — welcoming their son house after he left a few years in the past and the place we introduced them again into the connection at first of the season. There’s numerous stuff that we’re going to be doing there.
Gabriela appears to have gotten him to begin enthusiastic about the probabilities if he’s paroled, and he appears most likely as hopeful as he might be on the finish of this episode, however can he keep that outlook when he’s not round her?
I believe the trickiest factor for Bode is he’s all the time apprehensive and just a little nervous, terrified of [what could happen]. However the different factor that we’ve seen that we’ve commented on so nicely that he does is he’s extraordinarily reactive. He makes selections with out actually considering all of them by way of. He places himself into conditions continually, whether or not it’s hazard [or not], as a result of he kind of leads along with his intuition and his coronary heart.

For me, I believe that’s one of many greatest issues, is when Gabriela’s not round they usually’re on an incident or no matter, who’s going to be the one to inform him, “don’t screw this up, don’t do one thing silly, don’t do one thing harmful.” As a result of as we’ve seen time and time once more — being behind the automotive flying off that bridge, working into a fireplace or constructing or no matter — he places himself in precarious conditions.
How anxious ought to we be about Eve? And can we be getting extra Bode and Eve scenes in that arc? I take pleasure in these scenes.
Yeah, I like the Bode-Eve scenes. We’ll have some. Everyone’s centered on Jake [Jordan Calloway] and no one’s seen Eve, and I believe that’s clearly a sample that occurs on this group of individuals on this city, is that the very first thing that’s proper there in entrance of your face is the factor that they’re all centered on. However there may be one thing that’s taking place that you just’re not noticing. That’s clearly what’s been going with Eve and we’re undoubtedly going to discover that and encourage her to try to get by way of this.
Additionally, it’s a actuality and it’s one thing that I do know I actually wished to convey consideration to for some time: the battle that firefighters undergo as a result of it’s not straightforward going to calls like they must go to each day after which go house and bury that and fake like all the things’s high-quality. And so I believe it’s essential to convey consciousness for all these folks and that each one these folks know that individuals need to assist and there may be assist and there’s issues you are able to do, folks you possibly can speak to. And I’m so excited as a result of Jules is such a gifted actress and she will play these feelings so nicely that I’m actually excited for the followers to see Eve’s journey right here on the finish.
What else are you able to tease about what’s coming as much as arrange Season 2?
Oh, man, loads. We’ll herald some new characters, which I believe is all the time thrilling for folks, characters that must be staying round for a very long time. And I believe that the most important factor is, the final three or 4 episodes are going to be loopy. They’re loopy. That’s all I can actually say. I do know as a viewer, my favourite factor is just after I’m left wanting extra — for good, for dangerous, for no matter — and I’m simply left with having to see the following episode. We’re actually going to go away all people craving extra and desirous to know what’s going to occur subsequent. Clearly we love our cliffhangers, that’s what we’ve been doing all season. So I believe the perfect and largest is but to return.
Is Robin’s bag of money — as a result of they nonetheless have it — a storyline that might result in Kane coming again, or will Bode and Freddy (W Tre Davis) simply flip it in to be donated like they stated?
The bag of money isn’t over. I’ll say that.
