Fire Country‘s Bode makes it clear that he can’t forget Tyler after Chloe’s son admitted to causing Vince’s death.
In Us Weekly‘s exclusive clip from the Friday, March 6, episode of the hit CBS series, Bode (Max Thieriot) is visited by Chloe (Alona Tal), who asks him for help with Tyler (Conor Sherry). Bode, however, has no sympathy for the teenager responsible for starting the fire that killed his father, Vince (Billy Burke).
“He lit up half of Edgewater,” Bode tells Chloe. “Why would Tyler take the fall for something so bad if he didn’t actually do it?”
Chloe asks for Bode’s help supporting Tyler, saying, “I know that your family has done too much for my family already. But Tyler won’t talk to me and he’s alone and he’s scared in jail. I can’t help him. I know that you cared about him. You and I both know that you have the best shot to get through to him, so please.”
Bode shuts Chloe’s request down while referring to Tyler as a “lost cause.”
His strong reaction comes shortly after Tyler turned himself in for arson. Before the show’s midseason return, showrunner Tia Napolitano hinted that the show’s story will be going through some changes.
“[You should] be worried [about the rest of the season]. We’ve got Bode and Tyler in a fire shelter in the middle of a blaze. Those things are built for one, there’s two lives in there,” Napolitano exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2025, one month before her departure from the CBS series was announced. “And we’ve got Jake and his brother over the side of a cliff. You see how many times that vehicle goes over and over. We see heads hit hard surfaces.”
Napolitano teased that “those are not easy things to come back” from, adding, “We’ll watch our people fight to get out of there.” She also teased a “huge twist” coming in the second half of the season.
“It’s going to change everything that hugely impacts Bode. He is going to really fight to continue to be on his path to progress and growth that we love to see him on. He has made those good choices — though he still struggles — and winning those struggles and really becoming someone who can continue to be someone Tyler wants to grow up to be,” she said. “Bode is a role model. Look how far we have come.”
She continued: “Eve is going to find her way with these new guys at Three Roc. Sharon is learning even more so how to stand on her own. Ruby — her mother — comes back. There’s a lot of surprises, twists and turns and drive coming out of that twist that comes at the end of the midseason premiere.”
Following her exit from the show, news broke on Thursday, March 5, that Eric Guggenheim will be taking over for Napolitano. According to Deadline, Guggenheim is coming onboard after previously serving as showrunner of Magnum P.I and co-showrunner of Hawaii Five-0.
Fire Country airs on CBS Fridays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
