Bode’s persistence in fighting fires could be confused with his habitual tendency to link his value to something external, as he did in the past, but his desire to become a firefighter already showed a big difference. In fact, having been released from prison and finally a free man, Bode realized that what he wanted to do with his life was fight fires. Although Bode had previously held onto something out of fear, he now wanted to become a firefighter because he enjoyed it and felt it could help him avoid dangerous situations that could send him back to prison.

Although Luke insisted he couldn’t help Bode cut through the red tape to train to become a Cal Fire firefighter in Land of Fire 2nd season, seeing Bode jump into danger to help the pilot convinced Luke that firefighting could actually help Bode.

Reconnecting with his family and friends and following Manny’s example has made him feel part of Edgewater again.not thinking about his past in the small town, but looking forward to his future. This would include fighting fires even elsewhere, but having the chance to do so surrounded by his support system makes Bode’s path Land of Fire season 3 even more crucial, bringing out the plot of season 1 in the best way possible.
