As we have seen the struggle of our favorite couple in the show Jack and Mel, who are devasted after the miscarriage. They are trying hard to move forward in their lives by buying things. We saw Vernon “Doc” Mullins (Tim Matheson) signing up for a medical trial in part 5, which could cause devastating results too. Lizzie’s reveal about her pregnancy with Denny Cutler’s (Kai Bradbury) baby and Charmaine Roberts’s twin’s real father Calvin (David Cubitt) has created a mind-blowing cliffhanger in the last episode of Season 5 Part 1. So I think the story will unfold various other secrets in Virgin River Season 6.

The massive wildfire will surely impact the plotline of the next season.
