Gabriela’s Proposal To Audrey Can Make Them Friends In Fire Country Season 3
Gabriela & Audrey’s Alliance Is Much Better Than A Love Triangle Involving Bode
What to do with the baby handed over at the firehouse caused inevitably heated reactions after Sharon, Audrey and Gabriela felt the immediate urge to protect Calvin, as Audrey’s past informed every recommendation she had for the situation, influencing it when Audrey should have just followed protocol.The fight between Audrey and Gabriela’s opposing perspectives came to a halt once Audrey finally revealed how her mother abandoned her twice, effectively leading Audrey to reveal a very personal thing about her background, which prompted Gabriela’s offer to teach her how to swim when all was said and done with the baby.
Fire Country’s Midseason Finale Crisis Reveals The Problem Leones Bring To Edgewater
2 storylines in Fire Country season 3’s midseason finale highlighted 1 major problem with the Leones' roles within Edgewater as a community.
The biological mother returning for the baby made things very difficult and not easily solvable, as it would have gotten the authorities involved before deciding whether Calvin remained with the biological mother or was placed up for adoption. However,even standing on opposite sides of that debate taught Gabriela a lot about Audrey, unavoidably making her like herand wanting to offer her something that hopefully fixed one consequence of Audrey’s biological mother abandoning her, that Audrey was unable to learn to swim.

Fire Countryseason 3 chose the much more difficult but rewarding path of making Audrey and Gabriela allies via the relinquished baby storyline.
