As seen in the previous episode of Fire Country Season 3, Finn turned out to be an insane stalker who threatened Gabriela while she traveling with him in the ambulance. However, she was saved by Vince, who came on time, but Finn fled immediately, leading Gabby to think that he had finally gone from her life.

Little did anyone at Station 42, including Manny, know that the obsessive man would come back and his actions would result in devastation and heartbreak. As Episode 19, 'A Change in the Wind,' begins, Manny spots Finn near Station 42.

He wastes no time in following him and calling Bode for backup. Finn then notices Bode at the gas station and flees away, but not without starting a chain of deadly events as a massive fire breaks out and a teenage girl named Inez's life gets in danger.

As seen in Part One of the Fire Country Season 3 finale, Bode and Manny's rescue mission gets complicated due to nearby propane tanks. Thanks to Manny, who used his quick thinking and managed to drag the propane tank cage away, preventing a potential explosion.

While Manny prevented a huge explosion, Bode risks his safety in the episode by breaking into the store and activating the fire suppression system. As previously mentioned, Inez was trapped in the fire, and Bode was the only hope. He saved the girl but injured himself.

When Vince learned about Finn's actions, he didn't let Gabriela stay at her house and instead told Audrey to keep her safe at the Leone house. Being one of her true friends and a firefighter at Station 42, Audrey promised Gabriela that she would be safe at Vince and Sharon's place, as Finn was unaware of where they were.

The twist? Finn knew Gabby was hiding and climbed up the window to get inside the house. He even brought a taser gun with him and hurt Audrey with it. Gabriela is then forced to indulge in an intense fight with her stalker.

After handling one chaotic situation, Manny arrives at the Leone house and hears a gunshot from outside. When he opens the door, Gabby is seen holding a gun while Finn is lying on the floor, injured.


The action continues in Fire Country Season 3 Episode 20

The struggles of each character continue in the last episode of Fire Country Season 3, episode 20, 'I'd Do it Again,' as Manny is shocked to see that his daughter has shot a man and which might lead to a prison sentence. Something that Manny has gone through and would never want his only daughter to experience the same.

But this isn't the truth. Later in the Fire Country Season 3 finale, it is revealed that Audrey was the one who shot Finn out of self-defence. She even turned herself in to the authorities, leaving Bode heartbroken as he was already battling a deadly fire at the Zebel Ridge, and now he saw Audrey in trouble.

While Finn was a huge problem in the Fire Country Season 3 finale, the Zebel Ridge fire left almost everyone, especially Bode, in a tight spot. It was Walter who first noticed the fire and alerted his care home, and also informed Bode about the situation.

Despite knowing that his grandfather had dementia, Bode believed him and helped Walter and another old man, but it was too late. They all got trapped inside the burning building. Vince and Sharon raced in to rescue them, giving control of the fire scene to Jake, who stepped up as a leader.

While Bode managed to escape the flaming building, Vince and Sharon had already gone inside for him and Walter. As seen in the episode, the fire is incredibly wild, and everyone's life is at stake.

In a dramatic turn, the roof of the building collapses, leaving the fate of the Leone family members uncertain. Bode watches helplessly from outside as the structure crumbles, unsure if his loved ones will survive. Meanwhile, Jake assumes command of the firefighting efforts as multiple fires ravage the area, including the destruction of Three Rock.

This way, Fire Country Season 3 leaves fans anxious about the Leone family's fate. The cliffhanger will be addressed in Season 4, which CBS has officially confirmed.
