Warning! SPOILERS about Fire Country season 3, episode 15 ahead.
The mysterious illness affecting Three Rock’s inmates was finally revealed inFire Countryseason 3, episode 15, having massive repercussions on many key characters, thus hinting at what season 4 will focus on. With Bode out of Three Rock,Fire Countryseason 3 could only tell the stories of those in the fire camp through Manny and Eve, as the firefighting drama’s focus on Bode partially pulled the attention from Three Rock. Still,Edgewater’s fire camp inevitably returned in the spotlight after an odd cold spread around Three Rock, even causing adeath inFire Countryseason 3, episode 13.
Much around Birch’s death inFire Countryseason 3 seemed suspicious. From the speed with which Birch’s poisoning went from extremely serious to lethal to the investigation into his death bearing promises until Birch’s sister decided it was better to let the truth die with Birch,everything around the matter hid a secret that felt much bigger than just a difficult cold unexplainedly killing off Birch.Fire Countryseason 3revealing that pesticide poisoning was behind the inmates’ illness made everything more complicated, until Eve carefully unmasked why they had fallen ill when she and the COs were all okay.
Oxalta’s Reaction Sets Them Up As Fire Country’s First Supervillains
Oxalta’s Offensive Proved They Won’t Stop Until They Quash Station 42 & Three Rock
Eve and Sharon realizing the land close to the well supplying Three Rock with tap water was being used by Oxalta, California’s biggest chemical corporation, made them immediately tread carefully.While Sharon was seemingly quiet in her search, only contacting directly her friend in Oxalta’s board,the chemical corporation responded disproportionately by sending their attorney Bruce Meriwether, effectively stifling any cautious action by Sharonand stopping all communication about the matter between Oxalta and Three Rock and Station 42. Meriwether’s arrival exemplified Oxalta’s need to quash anyone trying to connect their business toFire Countryseason 3’s Three Rock death.
While Edgewater’s residents were motivated by fear, making it easy for Three Rock’s inmates to change their minds, Oxalta immediately went on the offensive and doubled down inFire Countryseason 3.
Three Rock’s existence wasn’t threatened for the first time inFire Countryseason 3, with Three Rock first risking closure in season 2 after Edgewater’s residents campaigned against it and Luke Leone tried to close it down to save the other fire camps. However, while Edgewater’s residents were motivated by fear, making it easy for Three Rock’s inmates to change their minds, Oxalta immediately went on the offensive and doubled down inFire Countryseason 3, showing they had no interest in helping out Three Rock or Station 42.
How Fire Country Season 4 Can Do Justice To Three Rock’s Story
It Took Too Long For Oxalta’s To Be Revealed For Fire Country Season 3 To End That Story
Birch’s illness and its aftermath not being solved quickly andOxalta being revealed as the culprit only this late inFire Countryseason 3, with two episodes before the finale,hint atFire Countryseason 4 being about Cal Fire and Three Rock fighting the massive chemical corporation. Indeed, if Oxalta is as menacing as its behavior towards Sharon proved, it’s unlikely they will easily admit wrongdoing against Three Rock’s inmates.Fire Countryalso established Station 42 and Three Rock as never backing down from a fight, making their confrontation of Oxalta something that will have to take time.
Fire Country Season 4: Confirmation, Cast & Everything We Know
The gripping CBS procedural series, Fire Country, has blazed a trail for itself across three seasons so far, and now it has been renewed for season 4.
Considering the weapons Oxalta quickly released against Sharon and Three Rock, including convincing Birch’s sister not to go through with the investigation and offering a suspicious job to Violet, someone inexperienced and dangerously close to a Cal Fire captain,it’s clear Oxalta will stop at nothing. This hints atFire Countryseason 4 necessarily showing Cal Fire and Three Rock mounting a fight against Oxalta, especially if the chemical corporation were to succeed in remaining unpunished by season 3’s ending.
