Fire Country Season 1 Episode 17 A Cry for Help

An internal investigator suspects Jake of being the serial arsonist setting recent fires, so Bode and the crew take it upon themselves to investigate.

The identity of the infamous arsonist was revealed on Fire Country Season 1 Episode 17 while Jake, after feeling the pressure of being wrongly accused, confronted his demons.

To say this was a packed episode would be a huge understatement. It served a twist with a storyline we thought we had figured out, explored trauma from multiple angles, and brought two people closer.

It didn’t come as a surprise that Colin/Alex was the arsonist because it had been teased for so long; many viewers had almost figured it out. The twist about who he was and how he managed to slither into 42 made for a more exciting hour of television.

To kick off, the investigator landed, rope in hand, ready to drag someone out. The person we met in this episode differed greatly from the one on Fire Country Season 1, Episode 9.

There was something to be admired about how she dug her foot down this time. How she handled the investigation into the bridge rescue left a lot to be desired, and it was great to see that was not how she usually works.

Jake was the primary suspect, and despite Sharon’s best efforts to disbelieve it, all evidence seemed to be pointing toward him.

The whole thing was not easy to pick a side because, on the one hand, evidence is the only thing we can trust more than anything else, but on the other hand, they know Jake. Even if there was a solid basis to believe Jake was not the arsonist, it was still disappointing to see people he considered family waver in their conviction.

A lot was at stake for him. Not only did he risk prosecution because arson is treated as a grave criminal offense, but it also went without saying that he would lose his career. Everything he’d worked for will go down the drain just like that!

To compound the loss, his entire life revolves around being a firefighter. They are his friends, family, and neighbors. When he realized he wasn’t getting any support from them then, he felt like he’d lost them. That was what made him feel lonely.
