Virgin River season 6’s ending drew a massive shadow over Charmaine’s well-being after she didn’t get to Mel’s cabin to do her hair and make-up for the wedding nor was she responding to Mel’s texts. Virgin River season 7 will have to tell the truth about her fate, along with revealing if Hope’s perception about Grace Valley Hospital’s expansion plans was correct, as they threatened Vernon’s future by restricting his ability to practice medicine. Finally, Virgin River season 6’s ending definitely concluded the Will They/Won’t They situation between Jack and Mel with their wedding, truly showing their relationship’s best qualities.

Charmaine’s Fate After Virgin River Season 6’s Cliffhanger Ending Explained

Calvin Had It Out For Charmaine Since Her Restraining Order Against Him

Virgin River seasons 1 and 2 established Calvin as an antagonist, especially Jack’s after he ordered him and Mel to be kidnapped and placed one of his subordinates to sabotage Jack’s Bar. Jack running into Charmaine and Calvin fighting at the courthouse set up his return as a villain, but his direct threats in Virgin River season 6, episode 6 confirmed Calvin as such. Charmaine disappearing in Virgin River season 6, episode 9 felt odd, but her message offered a partial explanation. However, Jack finding Charmaine’s house ransacked in season 6’s ending raised the alarm about her potentially harrowing fate.

How Mel & Jack’s Wedding Strengthens Their Relationship

Mel’s Doubts On Their Wedding Day Showed How Much Jack Understands Her

While always among the best Virgin River romances, Mel and Jack’s relationship has gone through its fair share of drama in the show’s six seasons, including multiple impediments to their obvious love for one another and even an unlikely breakup. Virgin River season 6 nonetheless showed the stability of Mel and Jack’s bond time and time again, whether it involved Mel supporting Jack through Preacher’s trial or Jack doing the same with Mel getting to know Everett or having to carefully handle Everett and Doc’s feud.

While it could sound counterintuitive, it was Mel’s doubts about walking down the aisle that proved how stable her and Jack’s relationship was in-between Virgin River season 6, episodes 9 and 10. Indeed, Jack reacting to Mel not being ready to walk down the aisle by bringing her to the place where he fell for her and convinced her to stay in Virgin River showed how they immediately knew what the other needed and how they had no doubts about their relationship anymore. Mel and Jack’s escape wasn’t borne out of uncertainty but deep knowledge and support for one another.

Doc Vernon Mullins’ Medical Board Problems & Grace Valley Threat Explained

Grace Valley Hospital’s Call Finally Explains Dr. Hayes’s Vendetta Against Doc

Doc receiving the letter deeming him suspended while the medical board investigated his actions made Dr. Hayes’s threats much more solid in Virgin River season 6’s finale. However, Grace Valley Hospital calling Hope in an official capacity as mayor and admitting to being excited about expanding into Virgin River confirmed how the investigation into Doc was a means to an end for those at Grace Valley, threatening the very fabric of Virgin River because it would bring an impersonal company and outsiders to take care of its residents’ health.

Grace Valley Hospital’s call to Hope giving an explanation about the investigation into Doc effectively set up their fight against the main hospital in the area for Virgin River season 7. The threat also neatly explains the newfound interest in Doc’s unorthodox practices. After all, Virgin River established from its first episode how Doc chose to move to Virgin River to practice family medicine because he wanted to be unencumbered by bureaucracy, and this never seemed to be a problem for those at Grace Valley Hospital in the 30 years Doc’s practice thrived, making their interest now purely business-related.
