Shortly after gunshots went off outside Station 42, CJ blamed herself on Fire Country Season 5 Episode 2. She thought that they were meant for her.
In the end, the gunshots were aimed at Station 42 directly. However, it was the catalyst in CJ explaining her story to Bode, covering what she was running from and why she doesn’t want to be a firefighter again.
Who Fired the Gunshots on ‘Fire Country’ Season 5 Episode 2?
At the end of the Fire Country Season 5 premiere, Station 42 came under fire. With Three Rock there as well, Manny immediately blamed his nephew Angel. However, it had nothing to do with any of the criminals.
Instead, the gunshots were meant for Station 42. Remember the two brothers who were angry at Manny and the rest of the firefighters for the loss of their mom’s home? Well, things got worse after the sinkhole. The younger brother decided to fire the shots.
On top of that, he set fires to cause a wildfire to spread out of control. He could then pin Station 42 down to kill them. Fortunately, the older brother, who everyone had initially thought was involved, found his younger brother to talk him down.

Meanwhile, Bode tried to get CJ to stick around and help add manpower to the firehouse. Believing the gunshots were meant for her, she made it clear that Bode wouldn’t want her around.
At her last firehouse — six months ago — she was given the chance to join an illicit group run by her own captain. When she turned them down, she found herself trapped in a fire with no one to turn to. The team wanted to make it look like she died on the job, but she got out and made a run for it to save her life.
She’s been running ever since, and she’s sure that her former colleagues will come after her to finish the job. After all, they can’t have anyone finding out what they’re doing.
It’s not even like she’s going to spread the word, although now that Bode knows, you never know what will come out! In the end, Bode convinced her to stick around and be a firefighter again. Helping Station 42 with the wildfires may have had something to do with that.
When Olivia Thirlby chatted with Parade about her character and her suspicious nature, she did tell us, “The more you learn, the more you’ll see she does have a reason to be suspicious.”
Now it makes sense. Colleagues have already tried to kill her, and she knows that they may still be after her. Trusting people won’t come easy, but she wants to trust Bode and the people of Edgewater. The question is whether they’ll take her in if those people do come after her?
Fire Country airs on Fridays at 9/8c on CBS.
