In tonight’s Fire Country episode, continuing from Sheriff Country, nine children were kidnapped. They were buried underground at the quarry. The kidnappers had been hired by a comptroller to hold the county for ransom and now they want their money. They cut out the original guy in charge.
They were solely focused on the money. They didn’t care about those kids or the possibility of getting caught. They staged this rather well. They planted IEDs around the trailer where they buried the kids. Bode set them off trying to dig the kids out. Boone saved his life, but they both fell into the underground container and the only way collapsed from the bombs outside.
It left more people in harm’s way. Boone blamed Bode. He said Bode rushing in instead of thinking could’ve costed them valuable time. Their way out was sealed. They have about six hours left of oxygen. The kidnappers made themselves out to be scary dudes. Only something wasn’t matching up.
Bode and Boone found out that the kidnappers left the kids with water, food, and boardgames. It meant they weren’t planning on killing the kids. Things got out of hand. They planted the bombs for the first responders. And Boone and Bode needed a way to tell everyone aboveground that.
One of the kids came up with the answer. They knew they were being watched. They asked if it had a microphones. It doesn’t. Boone then came up with the idea of writing a message on the board games. They were doing that while above ground there was a problem. They didn’t have a bomb squad.
It was based in Sacramento and it would take them hours to get there. What they did have was Wes Fox with a metal detector. He was in the military before he went to prison for being an illegal weed grower.
Wes apparently was the best they had at deactivating the bombs. They couldn’t afford to wait for Sacramento. They had to rely on Wes. Sharon stepped on an IED and it was Wes who saved her life.
Wes mapped out where the bombs were. He left it safe for them to dig up the kids. Ruby also showed up when she heard her daughter had been in danger and so she was glad to see Sharon walk away from the IED. Mickey also got another ransom call. They demanded the money so Mickey went to the location.
Mickey didn’t meet with any person. She ended up seeing a drone. She was told to tie the bag of money to the drone and she did. There were no further directions. Donald just said “goodbye Sheriff Fox”.
The others involved might’ve wanted to release those kids. It was just never a part of Donald’s plan. Donald was always going to leave them to die. Who is he? They never found the one man they identified. There was another man who worked at the quarry who was keeping tabs over everyone. Three Rock spotted him. They warned Jake about him.
Jake alerted a deputy. They tried to talk to the guy and he ran. He’d rather blow himself up than reveal anything. It’s okay because Boone figured something out by interviewing the kids. They found out that they heard this message “don’t mess with Shasta Grove”. Shasta Grove used to be a cul-de-sac.
It was demolished by the county because it sat on a huge limestone deposit. They paid the families thirty grand each while they made millions destroying their homes. The sheriff’s office removed them from their houses. The fire department enacted controlled burns to destroy the property.
It’s a good thing that Ruby was involved because Ruby sat on the council in those days. She remembered the victims’ family names. There was the Holts as in Lawrence Holt. The one kidnapper they identified. There was the Abbotts as in Sean Abott. The man who blew himself up rather than talk.
There was also the school bus driver’s family there as well. She was in on it too. This was all about taking revenge against Edgewater for commandeering their homes. They were essentially thrown out with not enough money to buy a new place. The town had been cruel to them.
It’s why they were taking revenge by killing a bunch of children on top of first responders. The last person involved was Paul Cresswell. Ruby remembered he was super smart.
He became an engineer. Gina went to prom with his cousin. Paul was dying and was stuck in the hospital. Paul planned it all. The others carried out. Mickey found them and arrested them all. Hank had to shoot one of the guys who reached for a gun. The firefighters were able to reach through to the container. Boone also cleared the way by digging towards them.
Boone and Bode were now closer than ever. They forgave each other for what happened at the baseball game. Jake’s girlfriend’s sister had been one of the kids buried.
She was allergic to mold so she was having an allergic reaction down there but Bode kept her alive until she could get the medical treatment. The kids all made it home thanks to the first responders. The money was even recovered. It was a good day. It ended with Mickey and Sharon going back to Mickey’s place to find Wes and Ruby dancing to their song.
The former couple could fight like nothing else. They then made up like it was easy. Their daughters got that from them. They too made up. Mickey realized that Sharon had to make her own decisions about whether or not she wanted a relationship with her mother again.
THE END!
