The news of Billy Burke exiting the show ahead of Fire Country season 4 nevertheless hints at the cliffhanger resolving in the worst way possible through Vince’s death. This makes Fire Country season 4 potentially change the firefighting drama forever once it returns. This can negatively impact several characters, but one in particular can begin the new season particularly tragically.
Losing Vince & Gabriela Has A Bigger Impact On Manny Than The Leones In Fire Country
This Way, Manny Loses Two Of The Most Important People In His Life
The Buena Vista roof collapse in Fire Country season 3’s finale endangered Vince, Sharon and Walter, but season 4 won’t only lack one less Leone based on the reports about cast shake-ups. Indeed, with Billy Burke and Stephanie Arcila exiting Fire Country season 4, the firefighting drama won’t just lose one Leone, but also Gabriela, albeit the latter not definitively.
While their relationship wasn’t Fire Country season 3’s focus, Vince was always there for Manny, making Vince’s likely death hit Manny hard.
Vince likely dying makes Manny lose his greatest ally in Fire Country season 4. While their relationship wasn’t Fire Country season 3’s focus, with the season prioritizing Manny and Sharon’s friendship based on how she helped him with Gabriela and Oxalta, Vince was always there for Manny, making Vince’s likely death hit Manny hard.
Fire Country season 4 has the potential to change the firefighting drama forever not only for its cast shake-ups, but also because of Three Rock having been destroyed in season 3’s finale.
Gabriela’s upcoming departure simultaneously makes Manny also lose his daughter in Fire Country season 4. While Gabriela won’t be more than a phone call away, unlike Vince, Manny will still have to live apart from the most important person in his life, someone he could have relied on while grieving for Vince. This can make Manny feel even more alone.
What Fire Country Season 4's Double Tragedy Means For Manny's Story
Manny Will Have To Find Someone New To Rely On
Having to learn to live without both Vince and Gabriela means that Manny needs to find someone else to rely on. Fire Country season 1 already proved Manny’s tendency to isolate himself, along with relapsing into his worst habits, as he went back to gambling in season 1. This makes it imperative for Manny to get closer to someone else.
Fire Country already showed Manny and Sharon’s friendship. With them both losing Vince, Fire Country season 4 could focus on their friendship and expand it. However, Manny could also form a stronger bond with Bode. Indeed, Fire Country has shown them relying on one another when things were bad, making season 4 the perfect moment to forge a closer bond.
