Let's Break Down That Wildly Emotional Season 3 Finale of Virgin River
Watch out! This post contains spoilers.
"Still waters run deep" would be the perfect tagline for
Virgin River's scenic but emotionally fraught third season. From Hope's encounter with a hurricane to Lilly's cancer diagnosis to Mel and Jack's topsy-turvy relationship, the season is chock-full of sucker punches and never-ending twists. But it's the season finale that will undoubtedly leave fans clamoring for a fourth season. Let's talk about what happened in that final episode, as well as the questions that remain unanswered.
What Happens to Preacher?
Preacher's guardianship of Christopher — whose mother, Paige, has been on the run since killing her abusive ex-husband, Wes, in season two — is a central plot point in the third season. Preacher knows that Wes's twin brother, Vince, is a looming threat, so he's careful not to let Christopher out of his sight. But when a so-called friend of Paige tells Preacher that she's planning to turn herself in, he insists on seeing her. The friend drives Preacher to the woods, where she claims Paige is staying in a cabin, but on the way, she stops to buy him a snack and a soda. As they begin walking toward the cabin, Preacher starts to feel woozy and collapses to the ground, clearly having been drugged.
