The finale also introduced a new antagonist in the form of Melissa Montgomery, Calvin’s successor as the crime boss of Virgin River (every small town needs one). Meanwhile, the finale of Season Four opened up a whole new set of plot lines, including yet another paternity question: Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) revealed that Jack is not the father of her twins.

Season Four, which premiered on Netflix on July 20, wrapped up many loose strings from Season Three: Namely, who shot Jack and whose baby Mel is having. Lastly, Doc and Hope's medical troubles 'throw their identities into question.' Where did Season 4 leave off? Meanwhile, Mel's pregnancy 'unexpectedly sparks an emotional connection to her past' and Jack confronts his 'demons' and Charmaine to 'prove himself to Mel.' Per a Netflix press release, Season Five will include the following elements: 'surprising new relationships, a shocking break-up, a difficult court trial, a heartbreaking goodbye, and a wildfire that threatens the town, bringing some people of Virgin River together while tearing others apart.' Dan Brady (Ben Hollingsworth) also seems to get into more dangerous situations this season, depicted with blood on his forehead in a scene.

This story arc seems to continue in Season Five as she sits on the stand in court and shares a moving message. At the end of Season Four, Brie (Zibby Allen) found her strength and told her abusive ex to lawyer up because she intended to press charges since he previously raped her.
