Diego’s Potential Fire Country Season 3 Death Makes Gabriela & Bode’s Romance More Difficult To Accept
It’s one of the biggest clichés in the book — a TV show wants to push two characters together (romantically), but one of them is already in a relationship, so they kill off the other love interest so that the two can be together. Hopefully, that is not what is going to happen with the Bode, Gabriela, and Diego love triangle in Fire Country. However, the upcoming season’s first teaser trailer doesn’t elicit much confidence that Diego will survive the premiere.
By all accounts (including a Fire Country season 3 set video showing Gabriela without her wedding ring), Gabriela doesn’t marry Diego. The trailer shows their wedding being interrupted by a helicopter crash. It also includes a passionate scene between Bode and Gabriela, further suggesting that she doesn’t go through with marrying Diego.
The Fire Country writers still need to put in the work regarding Bode and Gabriela’s individual growth before I can accept them as an endgame couple.
However, the most upsetting part of the video is that Diego is nowhere to be seen. Of course, this leads me to believe that Diego might die during the Fire Country season 3 premiere, which would make Bode and Gabriela’s romantic reunion even more frustrating. Diego shouldn’t have to die for Bode and Gabriela to be together. His character doesn’t deserve that, and it would feel like a cop-out to push the will-they/won’t-they couple together once more.
Why Fire Country Season 3 Needs To Separate Bode & Gabriela For Now
Bode Is Finally A Free Man
The Diego of it all aside, Bode and Gabriela shouldn’t pursue a relationship in Fire Country season 3 for their individual character development. Bode is finally a free man. His figuring out who he is outside of prison (and becoming an actual firefighter) is much more compelling than Bode and Gabriela falling back into their old ways.
The two characters haven’t experienced enough growth to be ready to be together. Plus, Bode might be getting a new love interest in Fire Country season 3, which could prepare him for an eventual reunion with Gabriela. However, the Fire Country writers still need to put in the work regarding Bode and Gabriela’s individual growth before I can accept them as an endgame couple.
