Every Cliffhanger Explained As Virgin River Season 4 Begins

Season 3 of “Virgin River” may have been the most dramatic yet. The show brought fans storylines about breakups, house fires, custody battles, car accidents, hurricanes, and more, per The Pioneer Woman. However, many fans were stunned when they watched the events of the finale unfold. During Season 3, John “Preacher” Middleton had been raising Paige Lassiter’s son, Christopher, and working hard to protect him from his father’s twin brother. However, at the end of the season, Preacher was drugged and led to the woods, where he was left. Meanwhile, Christopher’s uncle was seen waiting for him at Preacher’s house.

While Hope McCrae’s life hung in the balance due to a car accident, Doc Mullins also had to deal with a huge bombshell. A young adult man came to town claiming to be Doc’s grandson.

Of course, the biggest bombshell came in the final moments of Season 3 when Mel told Jack that she was pregnant, but didn’t know who the father of the baby was, per Decider. After a split with Jack, Mel decided to use the embryos that she and her late husband had left to try IVF. Now, she’s unclear if Jack is the father, or her dead husband, Mark Monroe.

Hopefully, the answer to the paternity question will be given during the 12 new episodes of “Virgin River” Season 4, which begins streaming on Netflix on July 20.
