After the wildfire inFire Countryseason 3, episode 8 almost cost Bode and Audrey’s lives because of how long it took Bode to admit he couldn’t keep his promise and save a house, his experiences as a firefighter only got worse.

I’m Looking Forward To Fire Country’s Spinoff, But There’s 1 Aspect Of Morena Baccarin’s Sherriff County That Puzzles Me
Morena Baccarin’s upcoming series Sheriff Country looks like a lot of fun, but it raises questions about the size of Edgewater in Fire Country.
Apart from being exceptionally successful in finding Wes, saving him and arresting his right-hand man,Mickey and Bode fighting criminals together highlighted how similar they were and how their thought processes followed the same steps, making Bode an exceptional detective should he decide to switch jobs. Given firefighting’s importance in Bode’s life, it’s unlikely he will ever leave it for something else. Still, Bode and Mickey spending time together to investigate also showed another side of Bode, one focused on doing right by his family, as Bode’s analysis of Sky’s situation proved.
How Sheriff Country Can Still Include Bode While Focusing On The Fox Family
Bode Could Still Appear In The Fire Country Spinoff
Between firefighting being central to Bode’s life and Vince mentioning more than once how Station 42 is Bode’s birthright,it’s unlikely Bode will ever leave Cal Fire to join his aunt at the Sheriff’s office. This makes it more difficult for Bode to be as present inSheriff Countryas he is inFire Country. However,Sheriff Countrycan still include Bode in a key role.
With Bode being Sharon’s son and the importance of family being underlined throughoutFire Countryseason 3, episode 16, it’s likely Bode will be part ofSheriff Countryin a smaller role.
News aboutSheriff Countryalready revealed howSharon and Mickey’s bond will be central in the spinoff. With Bode being Sharon’s son and the importance of family being underlined throughoutFire Countryseason 3, episode 16, it’s likely Bode will be part ofSheriff Countryin a smaller role, appearing in the crossover episodes or helping Mickey support Sky in her time of need. Hopefully, this can inspireFire CountryandSheriff Countryto make the most of their characters participating in the crossovers, doing their best to let the two shows feel cohesive.
