ET on CBS. After a full season of repressed emotions and an unaddressed love triangle, Season 3 of Fire Country is bringing all that drama to the forefront. I’m of course referring to the feelings between Gabriela and Bode and the fact that she was about to marry Diego before a helicopter crash stopped the ceremony as she panicked saying “I do.

” Then, her fiancé addressed the elephant in the room, and he confronted Gabriela and Bode about their feelings. That left us in a touchy place going into the rest of Season 3, which the showrunner told me is about to get even “messier.” Ahead of Fire Country’s Season 3 premiere, I spoke with Bode and Gabriela actors, Max Thieriot and Stephanie Arcila, about Diego confronting them.

Along with them, I asked showrunner Tia Napolitano about it too, specifically honing in on how this moment will impact the rest of the season. She promised that this explosive situation will only make things “messier,” saying: Things are going to get messier. I think it's just really satisfying.

I think anytime there's a love triangle on TV, you are waiting for it to collide...

You're waiting for it to collide and for the fireworks to happen. And so we're teeing up like – we're going to give it to yo.
