Summary
Sharon Leone’s health was a central story inFire Countryseason 1, but its season finale greatly changed the course of Bode’s mom’s illness with a shocking but welcome revelation. Before Bode’s return to Edgewater, Sharon seemed at peace with the prognosis of her chronic kidney disease, having accepted there was nothing that could be done bar a transplant, which wasn’t easy to get. However,learning about Bode leaving Edgewater being Vince’s fault and cherishing Bode’s return changed Sharon’s perspective, effectively making her wish for more timewith her family instead of accepting the end of her life had come.
Sharon had a shot at a transplant inFire Countryseason 1, episode 15 when Jake offered her his kidney after learning he was a match. However, the severe reaction to the anesthesia that almost added Jake toFire Country’s list of deathsconvinced Sharon she could not find another match, letting her decide not to try for a transplant again, instead living her last days crossing things off her bucket list. In an unexpected twist of events that saw Sharon collapse,Fire Countryseason 1’s ending finally revealed what secret closely linked to her health Sharon and Luke kept.

However, Station 42 handling the call and Sharon being there as division chief also affected her and Vince directly, asSharon unexpectedly collapsed during the call, forcing Vince to carry her to the hospital. Sharon’s turn for the worse heavily hinted at her death possibly being close, especially with nobody coming forward after Edgewater’s residents mass-tested to see if they could be a match for Sharon.
Luke’s presence at the hospital even hinted at he and Sharon hiding an unspeakable secret from Vince, but when they decided to share it with him, it solved all of Sharon and Vince’s problems. Indeed, Luke being a match for Sharon ensured she would have had a kidney, essentially stopping the race against time she was on since her diagnosis.Fire Countryseason 1’s endingguaranteed Sharon would survive thanks to Luke’s kidney, and, despite not showing the transplant, the news made it easier for Vince and Sharon to go from worrying about Sharon’s health to Bode’s return to prison.
Luke’s arrival at the hospital foreshadowed issues ahead for Vince and Sharon, until they shared with Vince they had matched and Luke donating Sharon his kidney effectively meant he saved her.
