The trio’s friendship precedes the events of Fire Country. In fact, the dissolution of their bond after Riley’s death was an important part of the show’s premise. Over time, Bode, Jake, and Eve gradually rebuilt their bond, especially as the Leone son worked to get out of prison and become a proper firefighter. That long history together should be the cornerstone of the show, moving forward, especially since both Eve and Jake deserve their own time under the spotlight.
Beyond that, they are also the next generation of firefighters in Edgewater. Jake is already on a path to take over the firehouse, although he will have to wait a while after Manny’s promotion. Meanwhile, Eve has proven his leadership abilities by leading Three Rock. As a Leone, Bode is bound to do big things, regardless of what it’s going to be. Together, they could be the face of Fire Country‘s run.
