Indeed, while Fire Country season 3’s finale hinted at Vince, Sharon and Walter Leone being doomed after the Buena Vista building roof collapsed with them still inside, it put them all in danger, not making one demise likelier than another. Similarly, Gabriela went through several challenges, but she never gave any sign that she’d want to leave it all behind.
A Time Jump Would Solve Fire Country Season 4’s Cast Exits Problem
Time Passing Can Explain Their Departures More Efficiently In Fire Country Season 4
It’s unclear whether Stephanie Arcila and Billy Burke will return in Fire Country season 4 to set up their characters’ departures. Although Fire Country’s showrunner Tia Napolitano refused to confirm who will exit, apart from Arcila (via Deadline), the report mentioning Burke’s name alongside Arcila’s, whose exit was confirmed by Fire Country‘s showrunner and EPs, gives it even more credibility.
Moreover, Arcila told ScreenRant in an interview about her Fire Country exit that she doesn’t know whether she’ll appear in season 4’s premiere. This makes it entirely possible that Gabriela’s departure and Vince’s likely death will be established by the rest of Fire Country’s characters and their stories rather than by showing the end of Vince and Gabriela’s storylines directly.
Arcila and Burke not being part of Fire Country season 4’s new footage would nevertheless only work along with another change from season 3. Were Fire Country season 4 to employ a substantial time jump, it could easily explore both departures without showing Gabriela and Vince except for flashbacks, which could work to tell both stories.
