The Fire Country season 2 finale ended with Gabriela and Diego at the altar, but a season 3 video suggests that the couple never said, “I do,” which could hurt Bode’s storyline in the upcoming episodes. The CBS action drama TV series, created by Max Thieriot, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater, follows Thieriot’s Bode Leone, a convict volunteering for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) to reduce his prison sentence. However, Bode’s time with Cal Fire in Fire Country results in him confronting his past and his hometown in Northern California.
Fire Country season 3 (which will likely consist of around 22 episodes) premieres on Friday, October 18, 2024, at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
Throughout Fire Country, Bode has undergone a lot of changes, both good and bad. In particular, his tumultuous romance with Gabriela Perez has been a major source of heartbreak. Bode and Gabriela connected the moment they met. However, Gabriela wasn’t single, and Bode was in prison, making it difficult for them to be together. Just when they came clean about their feelings, Bode took the fall for Freddy, sending him back to prison. Bode broke up with Gabriela, refusing to answer her letters. While he was away, Gabriela met Diego Moreno, who she became engaged to during the Fire Country season 2 premiere.
Fire Country Season 3 Hints At Gabriela Not Marrying Diego
Gabriela Isn’t Wearing Her Wedding Ring
Although Bode was heartbroken over Gabriela and Diego’s engagement, he knew he was the one who pushed Gabriela away and tried to accept reality. Gabriela and Diego’s wedding day came during the Fire Country season 2 finale, and Bode was in attendance for the festivities. He initially planned on telling Gabriela about his feelings but decided against it. Ultimately, Bode walked out of the church during the couple’s vows and asked his uncle, Luke, to help him become a firefighter. However, the episode never showed Gabriela and Diego saying, “I do,” and a new season 3 video suggests they didn’t.
The Fire Country season 2 finale ended with Bode declaring his intent to become a firefighter. Meanwhile, Gabriela and Diego were still standing at the altar in the church. Consequently, some believed this cliffhanger meant Gabriela didn’t marry Diego, and a behind-the-scenes video from the Fire Country Instagram account might confirm that theory. In the clip, Stephanie Arcila is in character as Gabriela and isn’t wearing a wedding ring. Perhaps the ring not being on her finger is just a mistake, or it means that Gabriela doesn’t go through with marrying Diego in Fire Country season 3.
Gabriela Not Marrying Diego Hinders Bode From His Fire Country Goal
Bode Is Trying To Become A Firefighter
While those rooting for Bode and Gabriela’s rekindled romance might be happy with Gabriela not marrying Diego, the failed wedding could easily distract Bode from his new goal. Of course, seeing Gabriela marrying another man was extremely painful for Max Thieriot’s Fire Country character. However, the heartbreak seemingly laid the groundwork for Bode’s newfound focus on becoming a firefighter. If Gabriela doesn’t marry Diego, Bode might take some steps back concerning his character development in season 3.
The Fire Country season 3 finale set up Bode’s best season 3 future, and circling back to his romance with Gabriela could ruin that.
Bode cannot move on from his relationship with Gabriela unless she is committed to Diego in Fire Country season 3. Their complicated dynamic will continue, diverting Bode’s attention from his career goals to his love life. Hopefully, this isn’t the case, and there is a logical explanation as to why Gabriela isn’t wearing her wedding ring. Fans will have to wait until Fire Country season 3 premieres to learn the truth.

Bode & Gabriela’s Back-And-Forth Story Has Gotten Tiring
Even if Gabriela is married to Diego, a romance between Bode and Gabriela could still happen. However, their will-they-won’t-they relationship has gotten a bit tiring, and it might be wise to let Bode and Gabriela move on from one another. Diego is good for Gabriela, and Bode has only just become a free man. He needs to find who he is and who can become outside of prison. Plus, the Fire Country season 3 finale set up Bode’s best season 3 future, and circling back to his romance with Gabriela could ruin that.
