Virgin River fans were left with a number of burning questions at the end of season six, and some are still puzzled by a major twist from the season finale
Virgin River enthusiasts are left bewildered by a major plot twist in the nail-biting climax of the show’s most recent season.
In the finale, titled The Big Day, viewers witnessed Mel Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) finally exchange vows, but not without some unexpected events unfolding.
Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) is notably absent, raising concerns about her wellbeing, while there’s also a dramatic turn in the Brie (Zibby Allen) and Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) storyline.
Brady faces betrayal when his new partner Lark (Elise Gatien), revealed as a con artist, overhears his declaration of love for Brie and absconds with his money.
Simultaneously, Brie’s current flame Mike (Marco Grazzini) decides to propose post-ceremony, despite mysteriously being aware of her recent tryst with Brady, reports the Express.
This revelation had fans agape, with many still trying to piece together how Mike came into this knowledge.
A perplexed fan expressed their confusion on Reddit, questioning: “How did Mike know??
“Out of all the finale cliff hangers, this one bothers me the most.”
Pondering over how long Mike might have known, they doubted Brady would have disclosed it, speculating instead that Kaia (Kandyse McClure) could be involved or perhaps Mike sensed the underlying tension.
The viewer concluded: “I think that’s why he wants to lock her down asap. The whole thing is a mess.”
Season seven of the beloved series is set to present Mel and Jack with a host of new challenges, including the potential responsibility of raising Marley’s (Rachel Drance) baby, and possibly even Charmaine’s twins should tragedy strike.
Yet, it’s the Brie-Brady-Mike-Lark love quadrangle that has viewers perched on the edge of their seats, eager to discover which relationships will endure.
The fanbase is abuzz with theories on how Mike could be privy to Brie and Brady’s clandestine meetings. One viewer posited in the comments section, “I think it was supposed to be instinctual, like when he told Brie that her parents were sleeping together. He just knew.”
Speculation is rife that Jack may have inadvertently revealed his sister’s secret, with one response highlighting, “I’m not sure if you picked up on it. But by the campfire when someone made a joke about Brady being a family man, Jack looked at Brady weird. And Mike picked up on the exchange.”
Another intriguing hypothesis suggests that Mike might be wiretapping: “I think he has a tap on one of their phones. Maybe Brady, since he used to be a CI for Mike.
