What happened to Sharon in Fire Country?
In the first season, Sharon, who works as the Cal Fire Division chief, faces a devastating diagnosis of stage five chronic kidney disease. She gets the diagnosis while her son, Bode, is in jail. Sharon comes to terms with the limited time she has.
When Bode returns to Edgewater, Sharon’s attitude towards her diagnosis changes; wanting to spend more time with her family, Sharon tries her best to beat the disease. For a moment, things look good as her deceased daughter’s ex-boyfriend, Jake, offers his kidney.
Sadly, Jake suffers a severe reaction to the anesthesia, rendering him unable to donate his kidney. Once again, Sharon accepts her fate and begins to work on her bucket list. Viewers anticipated her character’s end in the season 1 finale as Sharon collapses and is rushed to the hospital.
Does Sharon die in Fire Country?
In the hospital, it is revealed that Sharon’s brother-in-law, Luke, is a match for her kidney. The transplant guarantees Sharon’s return in the next season. In season 2, with Sharon’s health concerns out of the picture, Vince and Sharon focus on Bode’s return to jail following his relapse.
Bode’s relapse creates a clash in Vince and Sharon’s marriage. Sharon loses her trust in Bode and refuses to believe his excuses. On the other hand, Vince still believes Bode and disagrees with Sharon. The second season explores this conflict in Sharon’s marriage.
What can we expect for Sharon's return for season 3?
In season 2, Sharon notices Luke’s inefficient leadership when he becomes interim division chief. Seeing how Luke’s leadership is detrimental to Edgewater and Cal Fire, Sharon takes matters into her own hands. In season 3, viewers can expect a new side of Sharon’s leadership as she takes charge and focuses on her career.
