The loss of a specific Leone member will be felt throughout the show, especially considering how central they had been to season 3’s story.
Fire Country season 3’s finale created the perfect storm for Edgewater. Station 42’s resources were strained handling the episode’s three main emergencies: Gabriela’s stalker Finn looking for her and starting fires around town, Walter’s care home Buena Vista being affected by the Zabel Ridge fire and Three Rock being completely destroyed by the fire, as no firefighters could be diverted there. The impossible circumstances prompted the Leones to fall into their worst habits of jumping into danger without the right tools to support them, making the tragedy in Fire Country season 3’s ending inevitable, costing Bode greatly as a result.

Season 3’s finale was the least tame among Fire Country’s, hitting key protagonists by effectively destroying Three Rock and potentially hurting three Leones at once lethally.
Fire Country season 3, episode 20 ominously ended with Sharon, Vince and Walter being presumed dead as the Buena Vista building’s roof collapsed under the eyes of everyone from Station 42 in the episode’s last scene. Their scrambling to find an exit, along with the evident fear in their eyes just before the roof came crashing in on them, all seem to point to their demise. Still, Deadline’s report of Vince’s Billy Burke not returning for season 4 partially solves the Fire Country season 3 cliffhanger by confirming Vince’s death, which can hopefully suggest that Sharon and Walter are safe.
