‘Fire Country’: Max Thieriot Breaks Down Bode’s Goodbye With Gabriela

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Fire Country Season 4 premiere “Goodbye for Now.”]

Bode (Max Thieriot) is going through it when Fire Country Season 4 begins. Not only did his dad, Vince (Billy Burke), die in a fire while he was unable to go in to try to save him, but his ex-girlfriend (Stephanie Arcila‘s Gabriela), whom he’s been leaning on since the loss, is leaving and he has a new boss (Shawn Hatosy‘s Brett Richards) who definitely won’t be running 42 in the Leone way.

Furthermore, he’s an addict and certainly tempted by the pills in his locker, and he sent his girlfriend, Audrey (Leven Rambin), away while she’s dealing with her own stuff (like possibly being charged for shooting Gabriela’s stalker in self-defense). Below, Max Thieriot (also a co-creator and executive producer) breaks down the Season 4 premiere, teases what’s ahead for Bode now that he has a new battalion chief, has lost his father, and has said goodbye to Gabriela, and more. (Plus, read our breakdown of the premiere and what’s to come with executive producer Tia Napolitano here.)
