Only a few more hours before we can binge watch Season 7 of Virgin River, which will hit Netflix on Thursday, March 12, at 3 a.m. ET.
While the time between seasons is shorter than some series, many of us still need a refresher on what happened in season 6 of the series before we hit “play” on the new season. Here are a few key points to recall from Season 6 of Virgin River.
What to Remember Ahead of the Season 7 Premiere of Virgin River
Mel and Jack said, “I do.”

Mel and Jack finally tied the knot! After all the ups and downs, the couple persevered and the two exchanged vows at the end of Season 6.
Mel met a young woman named Marley (Rachel Drance) who was going to give her unborn child away to a local couple. The day after her wedding, Mel got a call from Marley, who told her that the couple may be backing out of the adoption. Marley then asked if Jack and Mel would adopt her child.
Mel and Jack may start a family sooner than they thought
Earlier in season 6, Mel had met Marley (Rachel Drance), a young pregnant women, who was going to give her baby up to a local couple, but the day after their wedding, Mel received a call from Marley saying the couple may not be adopting her baby after all and would she and Jack consider being the baby’s parents?

When the body was uncovered after the fires, Preacher was arrested for murder and went on trial. Brie (Zibby Allen) worked a deal or two that eventually got Preacher off with community service.

When Doc (Time Matheson) performed a risky medical procedure in the field and then later questioned about at the hospital, his medical license is suspended and the future of his cliinic is in jeopardy. He later learns that a big medical conglomerate is interested in expanding into Virgin River with an eye on his clinic so Doc begins to prepare for some legal battles ahead.
Brady got conned
At the end of Season 6, Brady (Ben Hollingsworth) learned that Lark (Elise Gatien) had left the wedding, checked out of the B&B, quit her job, and was planning to leave town. When he grabbed his phone to call her, he saw a notice on his phone that his account had been emptied.
We learned earlier in the season that the father of Lark’s child is none other than Jimmy (Ian Tracey), who has a contentious relationship, at best, with Brady. Jimmy had been using Lark to get back at Brady. Brie discovered this info which led to Brady breaking up with Lark but then they got back together when Lark told him she really did love him. When Lark heard Brady confess to Brie that he would always love her regardless of who else he loved in the future, this did not make Lark happy and spurned her into action.
Questions remaind about Charmaine
In the final scene of Season 6, Jack goes to check in on Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley), who was a no-show at their wedding and was not answering any of Mel’s texts and whose calls were going straight to voicemail. Upon arriving at her house, Jack found the door was slightly ajar. As he entered, it looked liked there might have been a struggle and we’re left with seeing Jack’s stunned face as he opens the door to the nursery. Is Charmaine there? Are the twins there? Remember, Charmaine was in the process of getting a restraining order against Calvin (David Cubitt), the twins’ biological father.
Season 7 of Virgin River premieres on Thursday, March 12 on Netflix, with new episodes dropping at 3 a.m. ET.
