Spoilers for Hearth Nation Season 3, Episode 12 are forward! To stream it, all you want is a Paramount+ subscription, and you’ll catch new episodes on CBS each Friday at 9 p.m. ET.
Now, earlier than you scream at me over this scorching take, hear me out. I do know Bode and Gabriela’s previous and attraction make them an attractive pair. Nevertheless, I believe it’s time for them to maneuver on, and they’re. As of Episode 11, Max Thieriot’s character is lastly exploring his emotions for Audrey, and I like to see it. Now, after Episode 12 of Season 3 aired on the 2025 TV schedule, I’m satisfied that Bode and Audrey needs to be endgame quite than Bode and Gabriela.
Bode And Audrey’s Comparable Pasts And Shared Experiences Make Them A Nice Match
Ever since Leven Rambin joined Hearth Nation because the ex-con Audrey, I knew she’d be a superb match for Bode.
They each have the distinctive expertise of going via the inmate firefighter program, they usually went via firefighter coaching collectively. Bode and Audrey are in comparable locations in life, they usually clearly have bonded over that. This shared previous additionally makes it in order that they actually perceive one another and are linked in a deep means.
We’ve seen that connection strengthen within the second half of Season 3 too, and I actually need to see extra of it. I believe Audrey is in a superb place in her personal life, and she or he’s serving to Bode thrive throughout this new chapter of his life. However she’s not simply serving to her potential associate, she’s helping his household too…
Episode 12 Confirmed Audrey Is A Pure Match With The Leone Household
Following Bode and Audrey’s kiss in Episode 11, Audrey didn’t find yourself spending a lot time with him in Episode 12. As a substitute, she was round Vince, Sharon and Walter. Whereas I’ll be the primary to confess that Gabriela additionally has a particular relationship with Bode’s household, what Audrey did for them on this installment moved me.
She clearly had a reference to Walter, and was in a position to work together with Bode’s grandfather in a means that the remainder of the household couldn’t. She empathized with him in addition to her love curiosity’s mother and father as they grappled with Walter’s analysis, and she or he introduced them collectively in a means others couldn’t. Audrey even acquired them to take a household photograph!
This episode proved that she isn’t simply good for Bode, she’s good for his household too. Due to this fact, I’d like to see her stick round for the lengthy haul.
Gabriela And Bode Are Too Explosive Collectively, And They Each Deserve Peace
Whereas Bode and Gabriela had a superb run, they usually had a temporary fling in the course of the first half of Season 3, it’s time for them to maneuver on. I believe they’ll be higher as buddies. They’re explosive collectively, which clearly has its execs and cons, nonetheless, I believe the dangerous outweighs the great right here.
They’re every on journeys of self-discovery and progress, they usually appear to stall that for one another. I want that wasn’t the case, however I believe it’s. Throughout Season 1, Gabriela getting right into a relationship with Bode whereas he was at Three Rock added loads of complexities to her new life in Edgewater. In the meantime, in Season 3, Gabriela closed herself off after her marriage ceremony ended badly and her dad went off to Three Rock, making it so she and Bode couldn’t discover a relationship that might final.
I would like each of them to thrive, and discover peace. And I don’t suppose they will try this collectively. So, let’s have Bode transfer ahead with Audrey, let’s give Gabs a brand new love curiosity, and let’s hope we get to see Bode, Gabriela and Audrey develop a significant friendship.
We all know Hearth Nation was renewed for Season 4, and I’m hopeful that Audrey will stick round. She and Bode are a superb match, and I would like them in a long-term relationship. They deserve it and so will we.
