It could be chilly outdoors in most elements of the nation, however we’re overheating after the feelings of this episode.
Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 7 overview discusses Camden Casey’s final look, the aftermath of Bode and Gabriela’s breakup, the fervour brewing between Bode and the newly single Audrey, and all the stress below the Station 42 roof.
When a hostage state of affairs at a weed dispensary changed into a blazing smoke fest that Snoop Dogg and Willy Nelson would love, our favourite hearth cadets stole the present.
Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 7 was our final time with Captain Camden Casey (Jared Padalecki), abandoning murky emotions.
We knew he wasn’t going to be a man everybody cherished. In reality, it appeared like everybody hated him.
Vince vouched for him at first, however his emotions modified drastically after the eagle sanctuary in Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 6. Discovering out Camden wasn’t going to cross Bode made issues hellah worse.
Sharon hated him as a result of he tried to push Bode to be the very best, even when it meant he broke the foundations and ignored orders. Till it occurred to him.
Humorous how Camden held it towards Bode when he went rogue and selected to stick with Station 42 to avoid wasting child eagles as a substitute of returning to the hearth station as ordered by Casey throughout Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 6.
Bode’s refusal to comply with orders was grounds for not graduating. For all the episode, Bode operated as if it had been his final day.
Chime in fanatics in your ideas about Casey’s behaviors. Was he proper to think about failing Bode for disobeying an officer through the eagle nest hearth? Or did Bode do proper by following the orders of a better superior officer, even when that was his dad?
As an alternative of apologizing for not following the foundations, Bode leaned into his revolt and used it to show to Casey that he deserved to turn out to be a firefighter.
Casey is simply as reckless — if not worse — than Bode.
Ironic the way it’s normally Bode doing the dangerous heroic stuff that places his life — and normally others — in danger.
Had been Camden and Bode heroes who saved the day by wrestling the gun away from the dangerous man? Or did Camden’s actions escalate the state of affairs right into a harmful hearth hazard?
The robber already shot Audrey when he caught her making an attempt to succeed in a cellphone. He was determined. And so they knew who he was.9
If bullets hadn’t hit the butane tanks, there wouldn’t have been a hearth. However the hearth allowed everybody to flee. And it introduced Station 42 again to the scene to get into motion after the frustration of the unique false alarm.
Camden’s momentary lapse of presence through the name confirmed a crack in his armor. Vince was proper when he mentioned Casey had demons he wanted to confront.
Camden has unresolved points. Now we have our fingers crossed that we’ll discover them extra with the Fireplace Nation: Surfside spinoff starring Captain Casey because the lead, again in his neck of the non-woods of SoCal.
It’s time to weigh in in your opinion of the prickly SoCal hearth captain. Did you want him or hate him?
No matter private emotions, he did an ideal job shaping Bode and Audrey into the rising stars of CFD Station 42. It’ll be enjoyable to see the tensions within the station home with all of the hookups occurring.
Gabriela and Jake are hooking up once more. Known as it!
Jake has been dragging his toes about transferring on. However now that he’s misplaced Genevieve for good, he’s floundering with out a goal. Gabriela is acquainted, and unresolved emotions have at all times sweltered beneath the floor.
The episode ended with him pissed at Vince, however ought to he be? Perhaps if he had taken Vince’s recommendation, Gene wouldn’t have determined to maneuver in together with her organic father and go away Jake behind.
Isn’t it greatest for her to be together with her siblings and father since her mother and grandparents are gone? Jake’s profession isn’t precisely protected.
Audrey is single now and shared an intimate celebratory meal with Bode, with sufficient warmth surging between the 2 to begin a five-alarm hearth.
We gotta admit she’s one dangerous bihh. She took a bullet to the arm with out criticism and nonetheless went again inside a blazing (there may need been extra weed smoke than hearth smoke) retailer to avoid wasting the lifetime of the man who shot her.
However how will Gabriela react when she finds out Bode’s moved on to blonder — and extra kickass — turnouts? Will she begin utilizing Jake to feed her dependancy to distraction now that Bode left?
How far will Gabriela fall earlier than she realizes she’s on a route of self-punishment?
She’s been spiraling downwards since Fireplace Nation Season 3 began. I’ll possible achieve haters for this, however she’s been on a slippery slope since she gave up her dream of diving in Fireplace Nation Season 1.
She makes selections based mostly on a wave of feelings and rash behaviors, which normally finish badly with the flawed selection.
After the devastating breakup in Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 6, she spent drunken time with Casey. Who believes his claims to Vince and Sharon that nothing occurred?
Then there’s her risque diving off the cliffs, to the purpose that she injured her shoulder after which lied in regards to the trigger. Is Sharon proper to be hounding Gabriela so exhausting about her uncharacteristic behaviors?
How about invading Gabriela’s privateness by coming into the AirStream with out permission? I say Sharon had all of the rights on the earth to go inside. First, it’s her property. Second, it’s parked inside the hearth station. Third, Gab’s isn’t okay.
And proper now, she’s pushing away anybody shut sufficient to affect her away from her self-inflicted wounds.
From the within of the trailer and Gabriela’s outbursts to Sharon earlier than her hissy match storming off, anybody who’s been there is aware of she’s near all-time low.
She’s realized from the very best how you can lash out at these closest to you.
Manny spent a lot of the episode fairly offended, first with Sharon due to his guilt for not being there to assist Gabriela. After which with Eve for letting Three Rock serve jail meals at Bode’s commencement.
Granted, there have been different cadets (a number of females) getting diplomas from Captain Casey, however the crowd was there for 24k — and Jamesey, if we’re trustworthy.
The commencement ceremony was a good way to finish Casey’s time on the present. It was an excessive amount of enjoyable to look at him name out Three Rock. Most individuals wouldn’t acknowledge a hearth crew fabricated from prisoners.
Camden is true about one factor. There are various blurry strains at Station 42 between private {and professional}. Vince and Sharon wrestle with separating household from work with their adopted pack of firefighters, which now contains ex-inmate Audrey James.
Proper now, the helicopter parenting of their non-blood youngsters has turned work right into a tense minefield of resentment and overstepping.
Did anybody else discover the pattern of dissension within the rankings on this episode? It looks as if each superior had a somewhat heated alternate with a subordinate.
Sharon and Gabriela. Sharon and Manny. Eve and Manny. Vince and Jake. Camden and Bode.
That’s plenty of dangerous blood for one episode. What do you assume fanatics?
Simply sufficient drama to maintain issues attention-grabbing? Or an excessive amount of drama to the purpose that it’s turning into an action-packed cleaning soap opera?
Talking of motion, let’s hear your ideas on this week’s emergency name. It was purported to be a false hearth alarm, but it surely turned a hostage state of affairs.
And the way do you want the best way the present launched Captain Casey? Is there sufficient potential for him to attain a by-product? The writers did a significantly better job organising that collection than they’ve thus far with Sheriff Nation, which is coming to CBS in 2025.
A hostage state of affairs appeared like the right time to carry again Mickey Fox. Nonetheless, it’s not the primary episode the place Station 42 firefighters get held at gunpoint with out the cops getting concerned.
We all know Mickey is about to make a return to Fireplace Nation earlier than it goes on a fall hiatus, so that’s thrilling.
You’ll want to verify again into TV Fanatic for Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 8 spoilers to search out out if Morena Baccarin returns in that episode.
