Fire Country Season 4 Episode 5 Review: Manny’s First Day As Battalion Chief
After three fiery episodes and one mediocre one, Fire Country settles into its regular rhythm in this episode.
Fire Country Season 4 Episode 5, “Happy First Day, Manny,” features all the classic themes the show is known for — strained relationships, unique and thrilling emergencies, Bode, and some mystery.
The underwhelming developments in Fire Country Season 4 Episode 4 elevate this one, but it stands out in its own right. It’s Manny’s first day as Battalion Chief, and with that comes some adjusting from all corners.
I wasn’t elated with how Manny became chief, but it wasn’t because of his ability to do the job; it was because it felt contrived.
But whether I like it or not, that’s the new reality for the show and the characters.
Manny’s First Day Brings Growth and Chaos
To highlight how abrupt the transition is, no one has had the time to adjust when the episode begins. To Eve, this is always the Manny she’s always known. However, she does try to recognize his new role. With time, it’ll stick, and Chief Perez will roll off the tongue easily.
Despite having his heart broken by not becoming BC, Jake adjusts, as he has always done.
Fire Country has always mistreated two characters: Jake and Gabriela. This is because of their proximity to Bode, who can never stop himself from abusing and misusing the people who like him.
With Gabriela gone, Jake is left as the punching bag, but we have seen some changes this season. He refuses to dim himself for the fear of upsetting Bode.
He continues on this trajectory in the episode by telling Bode some truths, however uncomfortable those truths may be. And props to Bode because he listens and plans on adjusting. That’s progress coming from Bode.
However, I’ve always felt that their “friendship” and “brotherhood” were just ideas on paper. We have heard a lot about how close they were when they were younger, but we’ve never seen it.
It causes me second-hand embarrassment to see Jake try to rekindle a connection that may no longer exist. Seeing him try to maintain a cordial relationship with Bode and calling him “B” is painful.
