“Virgin River” takes place.But that’s part of the series charm: it’s reliable and old-shoe comfortable and its two stars, Martin Henderson (Jack) and Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel), are telegenic and appealing in portraying their bumpy love story.The Season 4 finale took a few detours, tied up some loose ends and set up story arcs for Season 5, premiering next year on Netflix.

By that time, you’ll have forgotten what happened in the season-ender.Here’s a reminder.I suppose the biggest shocker was that Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) did not deliver her twins, despite what’s been a three-year pregnancy (five months in the series timeline, but still, enough already).

In fact, in a WTF? moment she revealed that Jack is not the father, as she’s claimed all along, causing him untold angst. There were indications that she and Jack might get back together in the last few episodes of the season as her relationship with smarmy Todd went south and he struggled with Mel — but now that we know that Charmaine put Jack through an unnecessary hellish ringer, he must be questioning her intentions (if not her ethics and/or mental health).Elsewhere in Virgin River, baby-faced Ricky (Grayson Gurnsey) finally left for his Marine Corps.

basic training in San Diego, despite misgivings about what he’s leaving behind, including his doting grandmother and, notably, his ex-flame Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale).
