Fire Country Season 3 Episode 18 recap: Gabby faces her worst fear

Gabriela thinks her creepy ex, Finn, got the message when she stopped replying to his obsessive texts. But nope. He takes things to a terrifying level. Remember someone stalking her since the beginning of the episode? That's Finn.

As the Fire Country Season 3 episode begins, Eve is called to fill in for Jake, as he has been suspended. Later, the crew responds to a house fire and finds Finn injured, and Gabby gets concerned for him.

Turns out, Finn started the fire himself just to stay with Gabriela, and she even fell into his trap. She helps Finn and takes him in the ambulance, where he starts apologizing to her.

Meanwhile, Audrey and Jake keep checking the house for fire damage, and what they find is horrifying. Behind a locked basement door, they discover Finn’s creepy stalker den, filled with photos of Gabriela.

Jake quickly warns Vince, who races to the ambulance. But it’s too late. Finn realizes he’s been found out in Fire Country Season 3 Episode 18. He threatens Gabriela with a scalpel and escapes, knocking Vince over in the process.

While Gabby is safe, Finn is still out, and he might do something unimaginable once again. Now that only two episodes are left, it would be interesting to watch if Finn returns.

Jake considers a career move that could break Station 42’s heart

Jake gets a tempting job offer to become captain at another fire station, which would help him eventually become Battalion Chief. It’s a huge opportunity. But leaving Station 42 means leaving his second family.

Later in the Fire Country Season 3 Episode, Eve has a heart-to-heart with Jake. She tells him that whether he chooses to stay or leave, she supports him, but he needs to choose based on what he wants, not just loyalty.

Jake finally talks to Vince again at Smokey’s. Vince says he’s proud of the man Jake has become and would never want him to leave his second family. But with no clear path forward at Station 42, Jake decides to take the new job.
