Simultaneously, Vince also had a lot going on, between having to find a new captain to replace Jake and managing Bode and his stubbornness to be on calls after his knee injury restarted acting up. These problems directly influenced Fire Country season 3’s ending, as Vince was at Buena Vista because of Bode and Walter.
