Season 2 of Virgin River

Luckily, the trailer already answered one of our most pressing questions left by the cliffhanger: Jack, who was shot in season 2’s final moments, is alive. Here are the main points to remember from season 2 of Virgin River. Likely, this is the one Virgin River plot point you haven’t forgotten—it was simply that shocking.

They’re happy. Luckily for us (and Mel), Jack is doing just fine now. The season 3 trailer shows his recovery.

To recap, Paige is a single mom living in Virgin River with her son, Christopher. Here’s where Preacher comes in. Instead of encouraging Paige to turn herself in to authorities, Preacher volunteers to hide Wes’s body and give Paige and Christopher a chance to escape.

Charmaine and Jack’s relationship has been complicated from the show’s first episode. Then, Charmaine and Mel had their own share of tension. In the trailer, Charmaine introduces Jack to her new boyfriend, Todd.

When Does Virgin River Season 3 Debut?

And so, I’m sure you’re looking for a refresher on what happened last for Mel, Jack, and the rest of our favorite characters. Virgin River season 3 debuts this Friday, July 9, so you’d best be ready for your next binge! What happened in Virgin River season 2?

Hope and Doc are dating again — but in secret — and Hope even encourages Doc to start going out with Muriel as a decoy. As for Paige, things begin to go south after her abusive ex-husband Wes pays her a visit. As you’d expect, Mel and Jack are on and off this season, with both parties clearly in love with one another but fearful of what a romantic relationship would amount to.

In the finale of Virgin River season 2, Mel and Jack are back together and Charmaine is devastated, even threatening to keep their babies away from Jack. Obviously, we’re expecting Virgin River season 3 to open up on an emotional note as we find out what happened to Jack.

Who Shot Jack?

Things were looking pretty perfect for Mel and Jack by the end of Virgin River Season 2 — so, naturally, the woodsy town had to throw the tragic lovers a curveball. Moments after Mel said she felt “happy and safe” by the fire with Jack (it’s a rarity for her to feel either of those things, much less at the same time), he was shot. The identity of the shooter is one of many questions Virgin River will have to address when the Netflix original returns for its third season.

Who Shot Jack? Netflix Something good from the world of Virgin River: Based on a Season 3 trailer released by Netflix, it seems Jack is alive and well after that tragic cliffhanger shooting. (Of course, did anyone ever have any doubt the show’s romantic co-lead wouldn’t make it through?)

The shooting happened right after Jack got word that Calvin’s operation was discovered — so if that bust was still going on, it’s possible Calvin, Brady, or one of the other workers made a pit-stop to the bar for revenge. But then again, the answer might be a little less obvious. As Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays Mel, told Entertainment Tonight in November, “The writers certainly are leading you to believe it’s that group of people,” she said.

Preacher & Paige’s Secret Netflix Of course, there was another distressing moment in the last few minutes of the finale that could serve as a clue, too: Paige sent her son, Christopher, to Preacher for safety after receiving a threatening message from her abusive ex-husband’s brother. There’s no doubt he’s worrying about an on-the-run Paige and dealing with the disappointment of his San Francisco restaurant plans now that he’s sticking around to care for Christopher. The Season 3 trailer offers a bit more clarity on his problem — the town’s trusted physician said he’s “maybe” going blind — but it remains to be seen how this new diagnosis might affect his practice and relationship with Hope.

Though who’s arguing with who (and why) is still a mystery, Virgin River is sure to deliver the drama when it returns on July 9.

Which Character Is More Tolerable When She’S Causing Her Own Drama Rather Than Sticking Her Nose In Other People’S Love Lives?

She’s a more tolerable character when she’s causing her own drama rather than sticking her nose in other people’s love lives. It starts off all right. The idea of Charmaine living with Hope and everyone having to keep their drama with each other in check for the sake of a healthy pregnancy is a good one.

But he’s been honest with her about not wanting a relationship from before Mel knows Virgin River exists. He hasn’t exactly been respectful of her for most of the series, but the fact that she expects to live in his house by the end of the season is blasphemy. But all of Charmaine’s genuine moments with anyone are negated because of all of the scenes she blatantly ignores Jack’s feelings, especially on Virgin River Season 2 Episode 10, “Blown Away.”

Mel’s sister Joey is missed throughout most of the season, but if her sister-in-law (whose name I refuse to remember) never returns to Virgin River or our screens, I’ll be happy. How self-centered, materialistic, and rude to come to someone’s home demanding the engagement ring that your dead brother gave to his wife. Her grieving process is still very much featured, though it takes up less screentime.

Even if we do accept that Preacher successfully covers up Paige/Michelle’s murder of her husband, the fact that Wes has a twin is just too much to buy. It’s such a shame because Preacher is such an honorable character worthy of words. Preacher deserves the job of his dreams and a boss who values him more than Jack does.

I just see no need to comment on Calvin, Brady, and the fentanyl business. It could use a few more town events like on Virgin River Season 2 Episode 4, “Rumor Has It,” with heartfelt chats over dinner, and cozy moments by the fire. These two adults don’t want to, though.
