Fire Country Season 4 Episode 6 Review: Your Voice in My Head
Fire Country finally remembers Jake exists, and for once, Bode isn’t hogging the oxygen.
The hour shifts the spotlight to Jake’s grief and instincts, resulting in a surprisingly grounded episode that proves the show still has untapped potential.
It’s not flawless, but it’s the kind of shake-up the show desperately needs.
Jake Confronts Loss
For the first time in forever, Bode takes a back seat as Jake Crawford remembers his late father. This is information we weren’t privy to, or I just don’t remember it being mentioned, but was anyone aware that Jake’s dad passed away? We met his mother, and that never came up as far as I can remember.
A fire emergency takes him to a place he used to frequent with his dad, and it brings up some buried feelings. He channels those feelings into saving the place, as we see some Bodeism rear its head, and you know what? I’m not even mad about it.
Bodeism gets on my nerves almost every time, but when Jake does it, I finally understand. I guess it’s because it’s out of character for Jake to succumb to dangerous instincts, something Bode does regularly.
The roles are flipped in Fire Country Season 4 Episode 6, “Your Voice in My Head,” with Bode being the one to pull Jake from the ledge. It’s surprising how much I enjoy this dynamic. They work well together in a bid to extinguish that fire — there are no tantrums and screaming matches.
This unforeseen turn reminds me of something that happened in Fire Country Season 1, when Bode first arrived, and for a moment, he put his act aside to work with Jake in Episode 6 of Season 1 on a daring rescue.
That episode showed what a powerful duo Jake and Bode can be; I thought Fire Country would lean into this more. I’ve been waiting for three seasons now as the writers manufacture some silly drama.
They should tap into this dynamic this season because, to be honest, Fire Country is losing a lot of what made it stand out. The redemption arc is done, Sharon and Vince no longer exist, and Gabriela’s gone.
They’d be wise to lean into this more and use it to ground the show. Jake and Bode share some great moments this hour, but I don’t want to celebrate just yet because we’ve seen this exact script before. I bet they’ll revert to their previous dynamics in the next episode.
Still, it is nice to see Jake get some depth that is not tied to his history with Bode, Gabriela, or Eve.
Carly Waddell Shocks Fans by ‘Impulsively’ Changing Her Hairstyle: ‘Back to Her Roots’
Bachelor Nation fans first met Carly Waddell on Season 19 of “The Bachelor” before she found love on “Bachelor in Paradise” with Evan Bass. The two married, welcomed kids Bella and Charlie, and later split in 2020.
Last year, Carly went public with her relationship with Todd Allen Tressler, and the couple got engaged in the fall during a family trip to Costa Rica.
Just this summer, Carly was talking about wedding plans and more children, but a couple months ago, she revealed the engagement is over.
Now, Carly has shocked fans by revealing her new hairstyle online as she navigates this new chapter.
Over a video of her showing off dark brunette hair, Carly wrote, “Feeling a little stuck lately. But I’ve always heard ‘if you change your energy, you change your life’. So I impulsively dyed my hair, and impulsively traded in my car for the one I’ve always wanted this week.”
The Bachelor Nation star went on and revealed the other changes she’s made to help “change” her “energy.”
She said, “Started grounding in the earth and meditating when I can. Sometimes being a mom, or woman in general is weird because u just pay attention to everyone else but yourself, but I decided lately that I deserve that attention too. So here’s to Carly in her 40s getting back to her roots….literally and figuratively.”
Fans and fellow Bachelor Nation stars filled the comments with their reactions to Carly’s new hair.
Sarah Herron wrote, “It looks so good with your complexion! Love it!!!”
Molly Mesnick said, “Omg brunette is your color!! 🤎” and Tenley Molzahn Leopold added, “👏👏 beautiful!!! Love it!”
One person commented, “Stunning!! Makes your eyes pop, compliments your skin tone!!” and another person chimed in, “You are definitely suppose to be a brunette! Looks so good!”
We couldn’t agree more with all the love for Carly. We love her new hairstyle!
