In the first season of the Fire Country spinoff, Sheriff Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin) had a couple of love interests and a strong contender who could go somewhere in the future. She and her ex-husband, Travis (Christopher Gorham), briefly got back together. She put herself out there with undercover DEA agent Alec (Wes Chatham), only for him to turn out to be dirty, as she learned in the Sheriff Country Season 1 finale. And there’s the possibility of what could be between her and her second-in-command, Boone (Matt Lauria).
There were moments sprinkled throughout the first season, but it was in Episode 18 that, after learning about Mickey and Alec, and when she pressed him, Boone blurted out to her, “I’m crazy about you, Mick. I’ve been crazy about you. You have to see that. I think I’m in love with you.” She replied, “I love you,” but added, “You’re my family. You’ll always be my family. That’s all it’s ever going to be.”
