The third season of COUNTY RESCUE on Great American Family and Great American Pure Flix ends with a heart-stirring, powerful episode where the team of emergency medical personnel deal with some personal issues while they hold a community serve day and survive a thunderstorm that may collapse the station house roof before a maintenance man arrives. The final episode of COUNTY RESCUE, Season 3, is a moving, spiritually uplifting, well-acted episode with a strong Christian, moral worldview stressing Jesus, Scripture, faith, prayer, carrying other people’s burdens, and imitating Jesus by being a friend to other people and not just by doing something for them.

The episode opens with the team visiting a high school to help a student who’s having trouble breathing. Cut to the community serve day the EMT team has organized in honor of Andy’s wife, Ashley, who died. The team and volunteers from the community travel to people’s houses and parks and churches to repair things, clean up things and do landscaping.

Back at the station house, Chief Scott tells the team he’s making Marcos the new lieutenant because of his long-time service. One of the new EMTs praises Marcus for his compassion and commitment to lay down his life for others.

Meanwhile, at the bench erected in memory of Andy’s late wife, Dani shows Andy a biblical passage his wife had written down in her notebook, Luke 10:38-42, where Jesus tells Martha that it’s sometimes more important to just be there for a friend rather than get distracted by many different tasks. Dani tells Andy she’s decided to start being a friend to one of the widows they helped that day.

Later, Danny’s friend, Rachel, a therapist who’s working on a program with Dani to help first responders dealing with stress and PTSD, comes to the station house to observe and talk with Dani. Before she leaves, Rachel listens to Andy about the great loss he feels about his wife’s death. She offers him a comforting hand and puts into action Christ’s teaching in the passage from Luke Chapter 10 that Dani cited.

That night, a thunderstorm hits and the station house’s regular maintenance man tries to repair the roof to keep from collapsing. However, he suffers a fall, and Marcus and the Chief rush him to the hospital.

The final episode of COUNTY RESCUE, Season 3, is a moving, spiritually uplifting, well-acted episode. It may be the best, most powerful and most redemptive COUNTY RESCUE episode yet. The episode has a strong Christian, moral worldview. It stresses Jesus, Scripture, faith, prayer, bearing other people’s burdens, and imitating Jesus by being a friend to other people.

The final scene in the final episode of COUNTY RESCUE, Season 3, provides a brilliant, evocative illustration of the episode’s overall message and themes.
