## Biography

### Early life

Eve and her family moved to Edgewater when she was nine years old. Upon their arrival, she was approached by Riley, who asked Eve to be her best friend.

### The truth about Riley

Eve and Jake make their way to Smokey's Tavern after dealing with the Bodega Highway fire. There, Eve makes the acquaintance of the new chef, Aydan. Jake encourages Eve to go and talk to her, but she instead retreats to the jukebox after nervously giving Aydan a thumbs-up. Between Jake's relationship drama with Gabs and Eve's hesitance to even talk to another girl, she believes that they're both afraid to get close to anyone because of the possibility of them dying like Riley. The following day, Eve reveals to Vince that Jake told Gabriela he loved her, and now that he's said that, Eve advises him to properly love Gabriela. Jake agrees that it's time for him to grow up before grabbing the water hose on the sink and spraying Eve. They are then called in for a vehicular accident on Buckeye Road, where a fire has started. Jake breaks the back window to the car and climbs in through the trunk, grabbing the baby and handing him over to Eve, and then saving the mother just before the car explodes.

Eve and Jake head up to Harrison Ridge to get an eye on the fire. Upon their arrival, they discover that it has spread into Miller Canyon. On their way back down to the site, Jake falls into a stump hole and catches fire, melting his boot, and slowing them down as they try to escape, resulting in him getting trapped under a small tree. With flames closing in, Eve and Jake are rescued by a mystery inmate from Manny's crew. With Jake now free, they try to escape the fire, but the trio are cornered, forcing them to deploy their fire shelters, but Jake is without his after it caught fire, and so, the inmate tackles him to the ground, shielding Jake from the flames. When the fire finally passes, the inmate reveals himself to be Bode and punches Jake, accusing him of breaking Riley's heart, which resulted in her death, which Eve was unaware of.

After learning from Vince that Bode has been in prison since he left town, Eve and Jake go on patrol and discuss why Jake never told her about his relationship with Riley. Jake admits that they got together a couple of months before she died. Eve recalls how Bode claimed Jake broke her heart, but he replies that it was complicated. Suddenly, lightning strikes just east of the canyon, which Eve call in, but their drama surrounding Riley is starting to effect their personal and professional relationship, causing Jake to fumble the mobile attack. With the fire down, they head for Manny's crew at the rec center, but to their surprise, Manny's crew is seemingly headed towards them until lightning hits the road, catapulting a slab of asphalt through the windshield and injuring the driver. Eve, Jake, and Vince exit the vehicle and discover that the bus is actually filled with kids from the rec center.

Eve and Jake check on the driver and debate whether they should remove the asphalt or wait for the paramedics to arrive. Jake fears that if they wait, he'll die before they can arrive. Eve concedes, but warns Jake that he has to avoid peeling his skin while removing the asphalt. Fortunately, they manage to remove it without incident. Before parting ways, Jake reveals that he cheated on Riley and that she died before they could resolve their issues, which he doesn't want to be the case with Eve, who convenes with Aydan at Smokey's Tavern and asks her on a date. However, Aydan turns her down and advises Eve to try again when someone didn't almost die on her. Eve walks off, jokingly giving Aydan a thumbs up. She then confronts Jake, because she always shows him her ugly and her mistakes, but he keeps his to himself, which makes her feel as if she doesn't know him. She then advises him against telling Cap the truth about Bode punching him, as he was once their best friend and saved Jake's life.

### Trapped under a tree

With Manny having taken the day off, Eve is left in charge of Three Rock and Black Creek as part of a reforestation project. However, after a tree falls on her during the hike up the mountain, Bode takes control of the crew to get her out while waiting for backup. With Eve trapped under the tree and in danger of becoming hypothermic, Bode makes the call to pull her from underneath. And while they manage to rescue her without harming Eve any further, this decision results in Rebecca dying after the tree shifts and hits Rebecca in the upper body.
