Fire Country season 3 episode 16 is expected to address many ongoing storylines that were left without closure. Fans are curious to know what Bode did with the pills he is hiding, and whether it has any connection with his recent behavioral change. They can anticipate these questions to be answered in the upcoming episode.

The major plot will revolve around Station 42's battle with Oxalta, the chemical company responsible for Birch's death. In an interview with Parade dated March 7, 2025, Kevin Alejandro talked about this arc, saying,

β€œIt shows the opportunity that Three Rock has, led by Eve, to step up, and really shows the genuine sort of camaraderie that Three Rock has. And so we go on a journey of figuring out what the hell is going on over at Three Rock, but it leads to something much bigger towards the end of this season.”
