Fire Country Season 3 Episode 2: Firing Squad

Manny learns his fate: he is sentenced to twelve months at the Three Rock prison camp after a group of Cal Fire members confronts the district attorney over the case. Three Rock itself gets its own thread, as flashbacks show the crew responding to the season premiere's helicopter crash and Eve leading them in the field.

Bode is accepted into the firefighter training program under instructor Jake, alongside Audrey James, a former fire camp inmate who is competing for the same limited places. When Bode presents his account of the helicopter rescue he makes a serious error, and Gabriela defends him during the question-and-answer session. To protect her, Bode keeps the details of the rescue out of his report.

The cover-up leaves physical evidence: Bode stores Gil's medical alert bracelet in his locker, where Jake later finds it. Gabriela returns Diego's ring and their relationship ends. Sharon buys Smokey's bar so that it will not fall to a corporate buyer, and Vince buys an Airstream trailer to keep Sharon's travel plans alive.

The episode closes by raising Rick's possible paternity of Genevieve again, leaving the question of what Genevieve knows - and what she should be told - hanging.

The episode closes its sentencing thread: Manny is sent to the Three Rock prison camp for twelve months, and Bode is admitted to the firefighter training program. Gabriela returns Diego's ring, formally ending that relationship.

What it leaves unresolved is the cover-up. Bode keeps the details of the rescue out of his report to protect Gabriela, and the medical alert bracelet he stored in his locker is found by Jake, so the episode does not say how long the secret can hold. Rick's possible paternity of Genevieve is raised again without confirmation, and no evidence establishes his claim either way.
