It’s the question on every Virgin River fan’s mind as we enter the long hiatus ahead of the Netflix drama’s seventh season: What the heck did Jack see in Charmaine’s nursery?
When Jack’s ex-fiancée is a no-show at his and Mel’s wedding in the Season 6 finale, he offers to swing by for a wellness check, only to find Charmaine’s house in disarray. We get that she’s a single mother of infant twins, so we’re not expecting her place to be spotless, but something about the excessively chaotic state of Chez Charmaine doesn’t sit right with us.
It also doesn’t sit right with Jack, whose investigation leads him into the twins’ bedroom, where he discovers something unexpected. Something unsettling. Something worthy of a finale cliffhanger. Just don’t ask Jack’s portrayer, Martin Henderson, what it is; he had no idea what he was looking at when he filmed the pivotal scene.
“It’s a testament to [Martin’s] acting talent that he was able, in a single look, to create several possible outcomes of what he was seeing,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith tells TVLine. “But yeah, Charmaine has found herself in the middle of a mess again, which is where her character tends to reside.”
So, what is Jack looking at when the finale cuts to black?
