Boone (Matt Lauria<\/a>) has faced his fears \u2014 he revealed his claustrophobia while trapped underground in a storage container during the\u00a0Fire Country<\/a><\/em> crossover<\/a> \u2014 so what\u2019s next for him on\u00a0Sheriff Country<\/a><\/em>? TV Insider asked him just that when discussing the two-part event, especially with the finale coming up on May 22.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe Boone starts to reevaluate some of his relationships, begins to see things or people in a different light. And then down the stretch, I think Boone really gets tested where there\u2019s a lot of just swallowing bitter pill after bitter pill after bitter pill,\u201d Lauria teased. \u201cBut then yeah, Boone really gets tested towards the end of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n It hasn\u2019t been an easy season for Boone. It started off with him wanting the sheriff position<\/a> that ultimately went to Mickey (Morena Baccarin<\/a>), then planning to leave Edgewater because of that. He did decide to stay, which then led to his wife Nora (Suze Misner) \u2014 a surprise to everyone! \u2014 spending more time in Edgewater, only to realize that she couldn\u2019t go through being married to a cop again. He also got shot during the standoff at the sheriff\u2019s station in the midseason premiere<\/a>.<\/p>\n Could one of the relationships that he\u2019s going to be reevaluating be with Mickey? It doesn\u2019t seem impossible that something could develop there, especially after some recent moments. Lauria was careful<\/a> about only vaguely addressing that.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is a level of trust and intimacy that is a really unique dynamic that develops between two partners in law enforcement who are riding around in a car together for two years and your life is in their hands and you know this is the person who\u2019s going to have my back no matter what, and probably knows just about all your stuff and definitely knows how you work, how you\u2019re going to react and be able to anticipate it,\u201d Lauria explained. \u201cIn other words, we\u2019re pretty lockstep, Mickey and Boone, and there\u2019s a real shorthand and a real love there. So yeah, I don\u2019t know. You tell me if that is fertile ground for something, but I do know that it is dangerous territory upon which to tread. If it ever starts to lean in that direction, there\u2019s a lot at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n
