Virgin River season 4 release date and time - how to watch online By Kelly Woo published 18 July 2022 Baby on board for Mel in Virgin River season 4 - but is Jack the father? (Image credit: Netflix) A baby is on the way in Virgin River season 4 - but who's the father? Time to call up Maury Povich! The popular Netflix series returns with more small-town romance, drama and hijinks. Virgin River follows midwife and nurse practitioner Mel Monroe, who moves to the small rural town from Los Angeles. When she settles in, she falls for bar owner/former Marine Jack (Martin Henderson). At the same time, Mel works at the practice owned by Doc Mullins (Tim Matheson), though the two sometimes lock horns. Season 4 begins with Mel thrilled by her pregnancy. The only cloud in the sky is uncertainty about paternity. The baby might be fathered by her late husband (from a leftover embryo) or Jack. The latter has three babies in his future (including the twins with ex Charmaine). "It's complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their situation. Meanwhile, Doc has his own troubles, including Hope's (Annette O'Toole) recovery from traumatic brain injury and the arrival of his long-lost grandson.

Virgin River season 4 plot and season 3 ending explained Virgin River season 4 will have quite a few threads to pick up, following the cliffhanger-filled season 3 finale. Here's a rundown of the questions that are likely to drive the major storylines in season 4: Who is the father of Mel's baby? Mel and Jack have tentatively reunited, but she gets a positive result from a pregnancy test. When Jack tries to propose, Mel informs him that she's pregnant, but that the baby may not be his. Will Jack lose custody of his unborn kids? Charmaine drops a bomb on Jack - she and Todd got married. And Todd wants them to have full custody of the twins she is expecting. Looks like Jack will need to find that retainer money to hire the family lawyer he interviewed earlier in the season. Did Brady shoot Jack? Brady previously admitted to being at the bar the night that Jack was shot, but vehemently denied shooting his former friend. Brie was ready to believe him, but then Mike found a gun in Brady's car. Will Brie, an attorney, help him prove his story? Is Preacher OK? Preacher gets word from Sally, Paige's friend, that Paige wants to turn herself into the authorities for accidentally killing her evil ex-husband. Preacher wants to talk her out of it, since her young son, Christopher, would be put into foster care. However, Sally seemingly drugs Preacher, knocks him out and leaves him in the woods. Meanwhile, the ex-husband's brother, Vince, is lurking in the house waiting for Christopher. Will Hope survive? Through the season, Hope was stuck away from home tending to her older relative. When she finally was able to return, she was in a terrible car accident that left her with a brain injury. She was put into a medically-induced coma, but an infection is further putting her life in danger. Who is Doc's grandson? A young man shows up at the inn and informs Jo Ellen that he's looking for his grandfather - and it's Doc! But Doc and Hope never had kids. Could he be the product of Doc's long-ago affair with Charmaine's mother? What will happen to Lizzie and Ricky? Ricky has been accepted into the Marines. When he finally tells girlfriend Lizzie, she says she would've supported him. But now, she can't trust him. Meanwhile, Lizzie's ex Parker returns and professes his love.Today's best Streaming boxes, Roku Streaming Stick 4K (2021) and Google Chromecast with Google TV dealsReduced Price (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$49.99 (opens in new tab)$24.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Roku Premiere (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$39.99 (opens in new tab)$29 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Google Chromecast with Google TV (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$49.99 (opens in new tab)$39.98 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesDeal ends in 06h 33m 32sReduced Price (opens in new tab)Roku Streaming Stick 4K (2021) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$49.99 (opens in new tab)$29.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Roku Express (2022) (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$29.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)A95X Max (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$33.55 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesReduced Price (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$54.99 (opens in new tab)$34.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Roku Streaming Stick Plus (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$44.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Roku 3 (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$52.97 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all prices (opens in new tab)Amazon Fire TV Stick (International (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)$59.99 (opens in new tab)View (opens in new tab)See all pricesWe check over 250 million products every day for the best prices Be In the Know Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
