Our Take On Bode & Gabriela’s Current Relationship
Complications Make For A Better Pairing
The show’s central pairing has a lot to work through. Bode began season 2 behind bars, and, although he’s since become a free man, Gabriela has found a stable relationship with Diego. Though he’s not likely to hang around with the Fire Country characters for long, and Audrey won’t either, it’s important the fan-favorite Bode and Gabriela pairing get to have believable obstacles that they work their way through.
The series, created by Joan Rater, Tony Phelan, and Thieriot, is also eying a second spinoff with Supernatural’s Jared Padalecki. It’s a busy time for Fire Country, with several supporting cast members having their own storylines as CBS mulls turning a popular premise into a connected franchise. Given all of these different threads, putting Gabriela and Bode on a bit of a romantic pause may be for the best in terms of building their story.
Gabriela & Bode Won’t Have An Easy Road
Even though Bode may have a new love interest, it’s clear that his feelings for Gabriela are not entirely a thing of the past. Following the season 2 ending, it seems that the pair has a moment to reconnect. After disaster strikes at Gabriela’s wedding, halting her vows to Diego Moreno (Rafael de la Fuente), the Fire Country season 3 trailer shows Gabriela and Bode in an intimate moment. She climbs into his lap, with the two gazing into each other’s eyes.
It remains to be seen whether this scene ends up being a dream sequence since the addition of Audrey brings another wrinkle to the story. Rambin, who previously appeared as Athena Bezzerides in True Detective, plays a character who is described as gritty and has a love for music. She may hit it off with Bode before showrunner Tia Napolitano and the drama’s team of writers circle back to a romance with Gabriela.
