Contains spoilers for “Fire Country” Season 3, Episode 16 — “Dirty Money”

If you’re eager to learn more about Bode Leone’s aunt, Mickey Fox, from the series “Fire Country,” and her upcoming spin-off “Sheriff Country,” the show “Dirty Money” provides a wealth of information on Mickey and her stepsister Sharon’s background, as well as their strong belief in upholding law and order rather than the quick-win approach to success. Additionally, it introduces a new character who seems likely to serve as a counterpoint to Mickey in “Sheriff Country.

In “Dirty Money,” we encounter Sharon and Mickey’s father, Wes (W. Earl Brown), who is revealed to be a key figure in an extensive illegal marijuana business. It seems Bode’s penchant for illicit activities might have roots on the Fox side of the family. Wes’s operation isn’t well-received by his fellow drug traffickers, leading one of them to attempt to eliminate him. This incident sets Mickey and Bode on a mission to uncover the culprit behind the attempted hit on their grandfather, Fox. As Sharon and Bode solve the mystery, Wes remains resistant to legalizing his empire. The ongoing tension between Mickey and Wes regarding this decision is set to continue in their upcoming spin-off series, as hinted by Max Thieriot.

Max Thieriot notes the importance of building tension between Mickey and Wes

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: In an interview with TV Insider, the real-life hero Max Thieriot shared that the show “Dirty Money” lays the groundwork for an intriguing future between Mickey and her father, Wes. He mentioned that we can expect a significant storyline for these two characters, filled with tension as Mickey struggles against her father’s greed, contrasted by her own commitment to honesty. With Mickey standing firm on the path of righteousness and Wes chasing after money, it seems like Mickey will be locked in a constant struggle to convince her stubborn pop to join the legal cannabis business.

Will Mickey eventually conceal matters for Wes, just as Sharon has shielded Bode from certain harsh repercussions he’s faced, or will she hold her ground and make his life challenging? Furthermore, will her strife with her own daughter — who, though not yet cast, seems set to play a significant role in the show — add complexity to the situation? The answer will be revealed when “Sheriff Country” premieres on CBS in autumn 2025.
