What to Expect from Fire Country Season 4 Episode 18: Best Man

Fire Country, Previews

Bode’s past starts to creep up on him once again on Fire Country Season 4 Episode 18, “Best Man.”

It happens during a night on the town away from Edgewater, when he, Jake, and Eve are celebrating Jake’s recent engagement.

Through the promo video, we see the trio having a good old time, drinking, throwing axes, and bonding. That is, until Bode starts to let his intrusive thoughts win.

He’s unable to stop thinking about the man commenting on social media about his rough past and the damage it can do to his future. Because of this, Bode reveals his past mistake to Jake and Eve, hoping to get some advice.

However, we’ll see Bode do more than contemplate the weight of his actions as one dangerous moment connected to his past mistakes leads to a risky rescue during their night on the town.
