There is truly nothing quite as indomitable as the willpower of a Leone man. It looks like the next episode of Fire Country is going to show just how hard-headed these handsome men can be.
It’s always the pretty ones that can drive you absolutely nuts — just ask Sharon Leone. The main takeaway from the promo for “The Leone Way” is that all four Leone men will be together in the wilderness. What could go wrong?
Since the Leone family drama was first introduced in Fire Country, there has yet to be any real resolution to the lifetime of trauma caused by Papa Leone. Now, it looks like time is running out to heal the wounds from the past.
I think we probably all mirror Sharon’s sentiments at the end of the promo. Vince tells her, “We’re going to do this the Leone way” to which Sharon responds, “That’s what I’m afraid of.”
Devastation Follows the Leone Men Wherever They Go
It should come as no surprise to any Fire Country fan that Vince and the rest of the Leone men are going to do things their way. It’s been Bode’s biggest flaw, to say the least.
First, there was Uncle Luke in Fire Country Season 1 making a pass at Sharon, though, from what we’ve learned of the character, he seemed to have genuine feelings for her.
Still, it doesn’t excuse the blatant betrayal to Vince by going after Sharon. Which is why it was no surprise that Vince was ready to put him down in the ground when he found out.
So, the brotherly love between Vince and Luke is a little complicated. Since then, Michael Trucco’s (The Fall of the House of Usher) Uncle Luke has more or less maintained a “good guy” persona, with one or two exceptions.
Fire Country Season 2 Episode 8 didn’t do him any favors. Remember how it was revealed by the governor at the Firefighters Ball that Luke had tried to get Three Rock shut down? Yeah, that wasn’t a good look for the guy, despite his handsome features.
However, nothing compares to the way Papa Leone can swing into an episode and blow up one relationship after another.
Walter Leone Is Going To Take Years Off Sharon’s Life with All His Stressful Nonsense
Good, old Walter Leone is nothing short of a spitfire and firecracker. That man can’t help but start fires and get people heated up no matter where he is.
Even during his first appearance in Fire Country Season 1 Episode 20, Walter could not help but crap all over his sons and then had the nerve to try to guilt them for not being better brothers to each other.
Remember how he dropped that bomb about Vince cheating on Sharon? As Vince told him right after, Walter is a miserable S.O.B. sometimes. Thankfully, his sons are the only Leone’s scared of him.
Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of Diane Farr’s (Chance)Sharon, you have to give it up to her for standing up to Walter in that episode. She got right in that old man’s face to set him straight.
Now, it looks like Walter won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, and Mrs. Leone already looked stressed as hell, but that could be from the perimenopause.
Four Leone Men Alone in the Woods Together Sounds Like the Start to Lord of the Flies
The official synopsis for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 10 reads, “The Leone men attempt a daring rescue while on a family fishing trip and Sharon faces a tough decision when a baby is safely surrendered at station 42.”
Honestly, for Fire Country, that seems like a pretty tame episode. There aren’t any sky bridges collapsing, nor kids being thrown from carnival rides, or even a fire tornado like in Fire Country Season 2.
If that is the case, then it’s likely most of the intensity will be on a smaller scale and revolve around family drama. Again, where there are Leone men, there is yelling.
If there is one thing viewers should brace for, it’ll be the infuriating comments that will undoubtedly come out of Walter’s mouth. The man has no filter, much to the detriment of anyone in his family.
Who knows, though? Maybe something will happen that will help Jeff Fahey’s (From Dusk Till Dawn)Papa Leone see the need for help and become more open to support. Otherwise, it’s going to be a rough road handling his Alzheimer’s disease.
Is Audrey Going to Be Sticking Around or Will She Be Another Romantic Casualty Like Season 1’s Rebecca?
So, the last part of the description for Fire Country Season 3 Episode 10 mentions Sharon dealing with a baby that is surrendered at the station. Talk about underplaying a plot point. That part of the episode isn’t even touched on in the promo.
First, I have to ask, is that even still a thing at fire stations? I remember hearing about it when I was a kid, but I didn’t think that was still something that could be done.
Do you just fill out a form and then hand over a baby? Seems nuts but I guess we’ll get a first-hand look at what the protocol is for that sort of thing. Although, it feels like that’s something that should have come up in one of the training episodes.
I’m still not sure why the series waited till Fire Country Season 3 Episode 9 to introduce those PASS devices. Those are mandatory tools for all firefighters to wear.
Regardless, I doubt Sharon dealing with an abandoned baby will help her to stop over-parenting Bode. To be fair, it takes a long time for parents to switch over to seeing their children as adults and some never manage to.
Hopefully, “The Leone Way” will also touch on what’s developing between Bode and Audrey. The man brought her flowers after nearly getting her killed because he didn’t listen to the chain of command.
Bode will be with all the men in his family, and if there is one certain thing, it’s that they are going to grill him about girls — that’s just how family is.
In the handful of episodes of Fire Country Season 3 that Audrey has been in, she has proven that she has a good head on her shoulders and knows what she wants.
She is exactly the kind of woman Bode needs. As he told Gabriela, he’s done waiting and he’s ready to start his life. What better person to do that with than a woman who is hellbent on creating a bright future for herself?
Lord knows Gabriela is far from ready to take on a serious relationship any time soon. At least the character has fully embraced the mistakes she has made and acknowledges that she needs to figure out who she is before she can be with anyone.
For now, check out the promo for CBS‘s Fire Country Season 3 Episode 10 below!
