Previously on Fire Country
I don't know what kind of
relationship you have with Bode,
but you really get him.
I think he has someone else
who gets him now.
AUDREY:
You brought me flowers, huh?
Your first day could only go downhill
after we rode out
an entire fire in a pool.
Hi.
I'm Violet.
Can I buy you a drink?
DREW: I saw you
nursing your knee earlier.
Is that the old injury acting up?
No, it's just something new.
Here, these help.
Yeah, pop one every now
and then for the pain.
You think there is a problem, though?
I mean, Nonno still seems
like he's pretty sharp.
VINCE: Yeah, he's a little forgetful,
but he didn't need to be scared
by a bunch of tests.
Birch. Hey, bro, wake up.
He's sweating with no fever.
No hey. Somebody call Cap.
Tell her to call 911.

EVE: Birch was a good man.
Won't you stand ♪
He was working the program and
he was trying
to overcome his demons
and not succumb to them.
[SIGHS]
And he died on my watch.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Wasn't your fault.
Birch was sick and he refused
to go to the infirmary.
Yeah, but I missed something.
Like, the report said
he had a heart murmur,
and then the ER doctor said
the cold must've taken him out.
That doesn't sit right.
No, it doesn't.
Even with a pre-existing condition,
a cold shouldn't have
gotten him to that level
of respiratory distress. [SIGHS]
And his fingers were blue when he died.
Yeah. A cold doesn't do that.
The autopsy will tell us more,
though, yeah?
The coroner already determined
the cause of death.
It doesn't sound like they got it right.
I mean, can't the hospital
still do one if the family asks?
Yeah, Birch's sister's coming
to pick up his stuff tomorrow.
I can ask her.
You deserve answers.
So does Birch. You don't just
Just because he was locked up
doesn't mean that he didn't matter.
Yeah. You're right, bud.
[CHEERING ON TELEVISION]
- God!
- Yes!
That is how we do it,
right there. [LAUGHS]
Warriors. Warriors. Warriors.
- How many is that? Four in a row now?
- Mm.
Oh, nice.
[WHOOPS] Ah, come on.
All right. Great win. Now,
time for a great night's sleep, Walter.
How much do we pay you an hour?
To tell a grown man what time
he has to go to bed?
[CHUCKLES] Try not to use
all your charm at once, Dad.
He probably just needs some carbs,
- soak up the sauce.
- JAVI: Okay.
How about I whip you up a snack?
Ooh, that'd be nice.
How old are you, Javi?
You don't have to answer that.
- That's okay.
- No. How old are you?
I'm 27.
27. Did you ever hear the story
about the world's oldest humpback whale?
Yeah, they called him "Old Timer."
He survived getting hit
by ships, getting all tangled up
in fishing gear,
even survived climate change,
and not despite his age.
Scientists proved that
it was because of his age.
Because of his resilience, his wisdom.
I'd like to see you make it
to my age and not flip out
when some 27-year-old
tries to placate you
with a juice box and a couple
chocolate chip cookies.
Sleep is important for memory.
Scientists, they figured that out, too.
Ah. Let me see now.
Paula. Jason.
Maria. Chester.
All your predecessors.
I remember all four of their names.
And you know why they're gone
and you're still here?
Because I told you if you chased off
another home healthcare worker,
you'd get locked
in your room with no beer?
Yeah, that's funny, Vinny.
No. It's because I like you.
Just a little.
[LAUGHS]
And as you can see, Javi,
I'm doing just fine.
So, I'm gonna watch a little more TV
and stay up a little longer,
if you don't mind.
Ultimately, it is your decision.
You did take your 2:00 p.m.
today, though, right?
I don't know. You're the one
holding the pillbox.
You tell me what it says.
All right, looks good.
SHARON: Okay, so let's
seal the side window and then
check the water lines for any leaks.
- Need a couple new power outlets inside.
- Power outlets
inside, yes. Yeah, and would you
find out what it would cost
on top of your handyman rate
for just, like, the tiniest wine fridge?
'Cause Mama likes her wine. [LAUGHS]
Oh, okay, you got it, Chief.
Thanks, babe. Hey, James.
- How was North Carolina?
- Hey.
[SIGHS] It was good. It was a success.
I got all my stuff back from my ex.
He put it on a box on the porch.
Didn't even have to see him.
- Oh.
- [SIGHS] What about you?
You fixing up the Airstream?
Yeah. I think we're gonna get
to Yosemite this summer, finally.
Mm. Just the two of you.
The open road. Sounds like the beginning
of a spicy little beach read.
Oh, really? Do your spicy
beach reads usually include
a cantankerous father-in-law?
Walter.
Hey, at least the man has
a mean game of cards.
Yeah, and if you like red meat
with a side of bacon,
he's a pretty good cook, too. [CHUCKLES]
Sounds like you've got it handled.
Yeah, I kind of do.
Come on, let's go to work.
- Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Oh, whoa, whoa.
Hey, no spinning.
I told you, no spinning.
- [LAUGHS]
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
Hey, yo, Gabs.
- Answer a question for me.
- JAKE: Oh, no.
Run for your life. Hide. [LAUGHS]
Look, Birch's sister is gonna
come to the camp later,
so let me have this distraction,
- okay?
- Whatever, all right.
- What's the question?
- Okay, so
what is your irrational fear?
For example, mine is drowning
in a vat of molasses,
and then people finding
my skeletal remains.
- So weirdand so freaky.
- Oh.
- Okay. Damn.
- Just saying.
Um
That I still love Bode on some
level and everyone can tell.
I mean, Luke acted like he could
smell it on me, and he got in my head.
Oh.
- What?
- Huh?
Well, I mean, if you love someone,
do you ever stop loving them?
Like-like me and Francine.
Like, we are very on again.
Yeah, but I-I-I don't love Jake
like that anymore.
Yeah, back at you. I've moved on.
- To Violet.
- Right, so his irrational fear
is that, now that she's on her ski trip,
inevitably, she's gonna
beeline into a tree.
Okay, yes, but that is because
there is a storm up there,
and she has not texted me back.
No, that-that fear's not irrational.
Boom. See?
Don't make him worry
more than he needs to.
You lost your dad,
Cara, of-of course your mind
is catastrophizing.
Right, avalanches,
crashes, hypothermia
But I'm sure she'll be fine.
Thanks. [SIGHS] That helps.
Hey, nobody else thinks
that I'm-I'm giving, like,
"I love Bode" vibes besides Luke, right?
[EXHALES] I think it's
just 'cause we know you.
You don't think he can tell, do you?
Nah
Just so you know, you're blushing a lot.
- No I
- Right there.
I am fine. I am strong on my own,
and Bode and Audrey are-are
whatever they are. Goodbye.
AUDREY: Hey.
Jamesy. Welcome back.
I kind of missed the
constant mocking. [LAUGHS]
Little bit. [LAUGHS]
Hey, um
Serious question,
how's everyone doing at Three Rock?
They're, uh [SIGHS]
they're hanging in there,
given that Birch died
right in front of them.
That was always a fear of mine,
to die before I got out.
Yeah.
Eve's working on getting an autopsy,
so at least they know what happened.
Hey, uh
less serious question.
I know that we're, like,
taking things slow
But?
[CLEARS THROAT] But
Sunset Holler's playing
at the Jolly Well tonight.
It's, uh, this, like, local band.
They're playing at a small bar
just outside of Edgewater.
Um
Is a concert a little over
the speed limit,
if we're trying to take things slow?
Well, that's just the first date.
[STAMMERS] I don't know.
That way, we can
get to know each other better.
What do you want to know?
Whatever. Like
I don't even know your middle name.
[SCOFFS]
Well
My middle name is how you know
I was born in a trailer park
next to a pile of crushed
beer cans and a pack of smokes.
[CHUCKLES] [SIGHS]
I got a past you don't know
anything about.
Yeah, we both do.
Mine is
[SIGHS] somewhere
you don't want to be.
Try me.
Peaches.
Uh
My middle name is Peaches.
It's Peaches?
[LAUGHS]
- You're serious, it's Peaches?
- Shut up.
Yes.
[ALARM BLARING]
[LAUGHING]
- Don't tell anyone.
- No, it is not.
Don't.
Okay. Wellness check
on the elderly homeowner,
Estelle Lorian.
Neighbors called, said that
they haven't seen her in days.
James, check the front door.
Perez, Leone, Bravo side.
You're on the Delta side.
- GABRIELA: On it, Cap. Let's go.
- On it, Cap.
AUDREY: Hello? Estelle?
Hey, Cap?
Is he trying to break in?
[SIGHS] Well, I wasn't
expecting a two for one.
All right, look, you two
talk him down, calmly.
We don't know his mental
state or if he's armed.
This is Captain Crawford.
Requesting sheriffs en route.
Hey, sir, we need you to come on down.
Oh, hi. Hi. Thanks for coming.
BODE: Yeah, hi. All
right, come on. Let's go.
Right, uh, I can do that.
Um
- Uh, careful! [STAMMERS] Ooh!
- Watch out! Are you
[GRUNTING]
All right, sir, the sheriffs
have already been alerted.
What? Why?
Oh, no, no. Wait!
You think I'm breaking in?
I'm not, I'm not.
You're trespassing, you're
trying to pry open a window.
To check on Estelle. S-Sorry, uh
I'm Finn, I, um, I live down the block.
I called 911 [GRUNTS]
May I take a look?
FINN: Uh, yeah.
But me later. Estelle needs help now.
Yeah, so do you, you see?
That's bad, right? Oh, yeah, that's bad.
I will help you get you
somewhere more comfortable.
Come on, all right.
[GRUNTING]
Okay, so if you weren't
trying to break in, then
what were you doing up there?
I ju I didn't know how long it
would take for you guys to get here.
And with Estelle
being stuck inside, I
Wait, so, you're s
Are you sure she's inside?
Estelle doesn't go out, ever, um
She gets everything delivered.
Look, based on that pile,
she hasn't been out in three days.
I called, she didn't answer.
I looked through
the downstairs window. Nothing, uh
I called you guys.
Then I got the idea to look upstairs,
instead of just waiting
You were worried.
You took action.
I get it.
Yeah. Thanks.
Hey, Cap?
Nobody's answering the door.
Can't see through the windows.
Okay, um Hey, Perez?
You stay with Finn. Uh, Leone, James?
Find me a way inside this house.
Got it.
Hey, Estelle, it's Cal Fire.
Can you hear us?
Estelle, we're entering your home.
You want to axe it or me?
That works, too.
Hey, Cap?
The door's unlocked, but it's jammed.
FINN: Uh, yeah.
Estelle's hanging on to a lot of stuff.
Estelle's a hoarder.

I'm very charming. [CHUCKLES]
Don't worry, we've seen it all.
Really? You've seen someone
Free Solo off a shed?
[LAUGHS]
How long have you known Estelle?
Oh, uh, forever.
Um, growing up, she was
queen of the neighborhood.
She had the mythical house that
handed out full-size Milky Ways
on Halloween. You know, she sewed
all my costumes for school plays.
Oh, he's an actor.
[CHUCKLES] Well, a photographer, now.
I moved behind the camera
after my fourth grade
performance of Gaston.
I'm not saying I peaked
at ten, but I did get
a standing ovation and my mom
had me sign her program.
So [CHUCKLES]
Okay, so from
queen of the neighborhood to
now.
What happened to Estelle?
Her ex-husband happened.
He walked out,
no explanation, no closure.
So she knit herself into a Gordon shrine
and never came out.
I mean, I get it.
I've had my share of
gnarly break-ups, you know?
Yeah.
JAKE [OVER RADIO]:
Leone, what's your status?
BODE: Cleared the living
room, we're making our way

JAVI: Uh, Mr. Leone?
A minute before I go?
You're not quitting, are you?
Don't say you're quitting.
No, no, nothing like that.
Um
here.
Yeah, memory care facilities.
Um, a little early for that, right?
Respectfully, sir,
it's sooner than you think.
I found these.
He said he took his meds,
but they were stashed in a drawer.
It's a sign of advancing dementia.
[SCOFFS]
Remember last night,
when he was rattling off
the names of all those
other aides, no problem
I'm-I'm only here three times a week.
Soon you're gonna need more than that.
It'll get expensive fast.
Just take a look now,
so you'll be ready
for when the time comes.
Um
All right, thanks.
Bye.
We are so sorry for your loss,
Wendy, I
Honestly.
For so long, my brother's
been a string of DUIs.
In and out of prison.
I lost him a long time ago.
- Mm-hmm.
- After the funeral,
he'll finally be at peace.
Before you finalize your memorial plans,
I want to highly encourage you
to request an autopsy.
Uh, an autopsy?
The coroner said it was his heart.
Trust me, the way he lived,
it's no big surprise.
Uh, Cap?
- Yeah.
- It wasn't his heart.
Birch was clean, he was he was sober.
He was working the program with me.
He was working out like a beast.
And then just out of the blue,
he got sick.
- A day later
- I get the call
I've been expecting for years.
What difference would an autopsy make?
- He's dead.
- The difference is the truth
about who your brother was at the end.
He was more
than just an alcohol problem.
He was a good firefighter.
He was an even better basketball player.
And the man could not land a punch line
to save his life.
[LAUGHS]
That's for sure.
[CRIES, SNIFFLES]
I'm gonna miss his laugh.
Yeah.
We all are.
EVE: You would've been
proud of who your brother was.
It's just
we don't know what happened to him.
MANNY: But you owe yourself and him
the truth, don't you think?
[INHALES DEEPLY]
[SOBS, SNIFFLES]
[SIGHS]
I'll request the autopsy.
Do you think we're really here?
Memory care? A-Assisted living?
I mean I brought
him here today just so you could
keep an eye on his pills
while I'm on shift, but
full-time care, I don't,
I-I kind of don't buy it.
I don't think we can afford to buy it.
I mean, between Smokey's,
and-and the Airstream, I
Did you see how much
these care facilities cost?
Yeah, I mean, the only one
that makes sense for us
is what, seven grand a month?
It's
And that's for the lowest
level of care. I am not
I'm not gonna ask my dad
to look at these.
I mean, don't.
Please don't say that this is
just me being in denial,
- again, about his condition, okay?
- No, no, I'm not
saying anything, I-I'm
in total agreement with you.
I I think he's doing
just fine with us.
Right? I mean
he's a pain in the ass,
but he's-he's not there yet.
No, not yet.
Estelle?
Estelle, can you hear us?
How long do you think it takes
to accumulate this much stuff?
You and I both know crap
can go downhill real fast.

- Yeah.
Saw your car leaving earlier.
No, no, no.
Uh
[SIGHS]: Okay.
Walter.
- Cap?
- It's Birch.
What, did his results already come in?
No, the coroner told me
that Birch's body was
cremated this afternoon
without the autopsy.
Wait, cremated.
So, what, his body's just gone now?
[SIGHS] Was it an accident?
I mean, that would be
a huge coincidence.
But do I sound paranoid?
No.
- No.
- Okay, look, look, look

paranoia's justified.
Okay. I'm gonna make some phone calls,
