Nicely, people, that’s a wrap for 2024. Hearth Nation, together with most of our favourite reveals, is now on fall break. As normal, the present left us with loads of cliffhangers.
Hearth Nation Season 3 Episode 8 evaluate analyzes its occasions and aftermath and what we would anticipate when the present returns in 2025.
Like most Bruckheimer productions, Hearth Nation Season 3 Episode 8 had loads of motion, heart-pounding terror, insubordination, and private angst to tide us over by the vacation break.
And a number of other of our favourite firefighters have been left in mortal hazard. May we maybe see the demise and exit of any of the Hearth Nation solid? We haven’t acquired phrase of anybody leaving the present.
Three seasons in, and we nonetheless have the identical core characters, minus a couple of small roles from supporting characters like Cara, Freddy, and Rebecca.
The present has been constructing as much as these occasions because the begin, pushing every character by life predicaments that finally affected how every of them reacted throughout the Hearth Nation Season 3 fall finale.
As a finale goes, this one was pretty much as good as any I’ve seen within the 2024 season, and it’s actually miles higher than the delayed seasonal begin and shortened ten-episode second season.
And but, regardless of how properly the present did establishing its seasonal break so followers would keep in a state of intrigue and torment, there was a whole lot of UGH and OMG actually’s from the episode itself. Actually, the entire season.
Beginning with the standard drama surrounding Gabriela. Go forward and weigh in actual fast, Fanatics, on the primary alternate between Gabriela and Jake. It’s arduous for this reviewer to resolve which particular person is correct.
Whereas Jake feels they need to inform Bode about their drunken hook-up, Gabriela thinks that it’s none of his enterprise, since they aren’t collectively.
However like Jake mentioned, Bode is his finest buddy and Gabreila is his ex-obsession. Nonetheless, like Gabs mentioned, she was with Jake earlier than Bode. So ought to they inform Bode or let it keep a drunken episode of no consequence?
Though this reviewer’s twisted thoughts may completely see that one lapse of judgement leading to an unplanned being pregnant for Gabriela and Jake, who’s nonetheless tortured by the lack of Cara and the current choice of Cara’s daughter to maneuver in along with her actual father as an alternative of Jake.
At first, Gabriela appeared to be doing higher this episode, much less hell-bent on beating herself to loss of life and doing dangerous crap. Like father, like daughter.
After which, we noticed her psychological standing deteriorate, leading to her disobeying direct orders from a superior, breaking the regulation, and being totally insubordinate. What number of occasions does she get to yell at her boss (this time, it was Jake as an alternative of Sharon) earlier than she faces disciplinary motion?
I’m on her facet for serving to out the determined mom and youngster who ran out of gasoline whereas attempting to evacuate. Their automobile was the one house they’d left, and it didn’t appear honest that they’d lose every little thing once more.
Honestly, this viewer in all probability would have completed the identical factor by siphoning the gasoline from the automobile parked in entrance of a fireplace hydrant. Felony expenses be damned.
However I can’t condone the remainder of her conduct.
She appears to have a significant downside separating her previous from her job, usually letting her private experiences have an effect on her efficiency. One thing she regularly scolds Bode and her father for doing.
It was freaking wonderful seeing Jake put Gabriela in her place. Her hissy match response was typical of her self-indulgent pity get together, the place she needs everybody to really feel unhealthy for her scenario even if the place she’s at in life is all her personal doing.
After which, as normal, she acts all melodramatically, stripping off her fireplace gear and strolling off in the midst of a fireplace name. Solely to finish up assembly a wall of flames as she wandered aimlessly down the street.
She says she’s completed however completed with what? Her actions are as clear as any resignation letter. May we be saying goodbye to Gabriela Perez when the present returns?
Or perhaps the Hearth Nation Season 3 finale is the tip of the road for inmate firefighter Manny Perez. We’ve seen Manny expertise a full 360 of his life because the first season.
He was as soon as the captain of the Three Rock jail camp, mentoring Bode post-prison so he may very well be profitable as soon as launched, solely to flip locations by Hearth Nation Season 3.
Whereas Bode is a free man and now an official member of CalFire since Captain Camden Casey handed him in fireplace coaching in Hearth Nation Season 3 Episode 7, Manny is now a firefighter inmate at Three Rock, with Eve as Captain.
Seeing Manny falling so removed from his unique redemption has been arduous, but it surely’s been a good way to discover extra of his character. Sadly, going again to jail appears to have dulled Manny’s righteousness.
He’s acted out of character a number of occasions throughout Hearth Nation Season 3, virtually as if he’s given up on a future as a result of his setback.
Manny went from being my favourite character to an annoyance this season as he tries to make repairs with Gabriela whereas concurrently expressing his self-anger at anybody round him.
He struggled on this episode between being a supportive first noticed firefighter and being a sullen inmate pissed about doing time. Seeing him speak down Cole when he virtually had phrases with Eve’s cousin was nice.
Sadly, Manny is unlikely to be as keen to observe Cole’s recommendation about not going out on his personal to seek out Gabriela.
The present ended with a cliffhanger involving him and Three Rock on the Edwards ranch, miles away from the place Gabriela went lacking. As a consequence of her tantrum, she walked straight into a fireplace zone.
Manny simply requested a parole listening to. Going AWOL throughout a fireplace name, even when it’s as a result of his daughter is in peril, isn’t going to look good. Will the second half of Hearth Nation Season 3 have Manny caught in jail longer for an “tried escape,” or may Perez be the present’s first common solid member to exit?
How did everybody like their first go to to the Edwards ranch? Geez, there was a whole lot of stress between the Edwards patriarch and everybody round him.
Elroy Edwards was precisely as we anticipated after we discovered Eve hadn’t talked to her household in six years. After assembly them, I perceive why there’s discord there.
Seeing her go to bat for her crew towards her father’s prejudice was nice. He’s a cussed outdated man who thinks Eve selected firefighting and the Leones over her household, each up to now and presently.
In the event you learn our Hearth Nation Season 3 Episode 8 spoilers, I lamented how cool it could have been to see Eve on horseback, preventing fires. We noticed her on horseback, so I half obtained my want.
Nonetheless, I’ll settle as a result of it was so cool that she delivered a foal and had a second along with her dad.
However whereas she was enjoying rancher, she uncared for her firefighting duties. Vince needed to come out and verify on issues, ruining her progress. Elroy had a number of grievances towards Vince and CFD.
The 2 debated making a backburn on the ranch to stop the fireplace from spreading into Edgewater. Vince thought he had the authority to do it, even on non-public property. Elroy felt that he had the proper to say no as a result of it was his land.
Eve ended up between her blood household and her fireplace fam. She upset Elroy by siding with the job over her kin.
We’ve to surprise if her setting the fireplace was symbolic of burning her final bridge along with her household. It was supposed to guard the ranch.
However shifting winds carried embers throughout the fireplace line and onto the barn, the place the ranch arms had simply put all of the horses, together with the brand new child foal Eve had simply delivered.
Eve wasn’t the one one whose plan to guard one thing backfired. Bode and Audrey went on a fireplace name, pondering they’d solely be doing preventative measures. Depart it to their luck to bump into an enormous zombie fireplace.
Huh? That’s a technique so as to add a singular twist to the standard zombie outbreak.
Present of arms: Earlier than this episode, who had heard of a zombie fireplace or holdover fireplace? Not this TV fanatic, and I’m fairly certain I’ve seen each fireplace film or collection out there.
It’s fairly gnarly however completely superior, too.
How loopy would it not be to must face a fireplace that’s been burning underground for months to years? That seems like some Tommy Lee Jones ’90s Volcano or the La Brea intro or one thing.
Bode’s a badass ex-convict, so it’s all the time a pleasure to see his softer facet, from the teddy bear in his locker to the household portrait in his helmet to the close to tears he had when he listened to the sob story of an area with a lovely house and a lifeless spouse.
Bode made a promise to avoid wasting his home, and issues appeared to be going properly till James jinxed it by speaking crap. By no means check the universe with an early celebration, particularly with regards to preventing fires.
Sharon continued to challenge orders to Leone and James to desert the placement and deal with different fires. However the couple ignored her calls, freaking Momma Bear out.
Bode ought to face critical reprimand for ignoring direct orders. In his desperation to maintain a promise and supposedly depart behind the outdated Bode, he put himself and Audrey in a really harmful scenario.
Does anybody else discover it irritating that after Bode screwed up and put each of them in danger, he made a plan and tried to speak about save them like their being trapped wasn’t his fault?
As the fireplace consumed every little thing round them, James held onto Bode for literal life as they dove underwater to keep away from the flames. After which the credit rolled.
Will Bode and Audrey’s first kiss be a mermaid breath of life as they share air? Will Audrey forgive Bode for placing her into the terrifying scenario of getting burned alive or drowning as a result of she couldn’t swim?
If they’d left earlier, as she had wished and as she had ordered, they’d not have been trapped on all sides by a wall of flames.
My favourite a part of the day was when Eve requested purpose with a cussed outdated man, and Sharon and Bode each shot ‘that’ have a look at Vince. Priceless! Is {that a} trace at Vince’s personal father points? Or are they calling him a cussed outdated man?
And what was with this episode and folks ignoring their radio calls? Does anybody else discover a theme the place all the assorted scenes and folks are inclined to concentrate on one narrative?
In Hearth Nation Season 3 Episode 7, subordinates lashed out at their superiors, which in actual life would have resulted in quite a few firefighters being dismissed from their stations.
So, fanatics, what did you consider the Hearth Nation Season 3 fall finale? Are you excited for the present to return so we are able to get solutions? The place do you hope the story goes from right here?
What did you want in regards to the episode? Hate? Is it higher than earlier episodes, which have been borderline daytime cleaning soap with fundamental or regurgitated storylines?
