What happens to Melissa on Virgin River?
Mike is taken to the hospital while the rest of the town gets on with the important stuff: setting up the carnival.
Mel returns to the clinic where she’s welcomed by cupcakes (jel) and pitches a birthing suite to the team, which is happily accepted.
Back at the hospital Brie (Zibby Allen) has some good news; Melissa has been sent to jail. The slightly bad news? Brie tells Brady she can no longer be with him but she is grateful for everything he’s done.
Together with Jack, Brady heads over to the glamping site, which has been taken over by the FBI who tell Jack all the evacuees of the fire have to be moved out by the end of the day. Thankfully, Nick is able to offer them a place at his B&B.
Mike awakes and while he tries to get a moment alone with Brie, who suggests their first date, the FBI have other plans and instead have to interview him. Guess they’ll have to wait a bit longer for that date.
The romance continues with Doc (Tim Matheson) giving Muriel (Teryl Rothery) and Cameron (Mark Ghanimé) permission to date, but to keep it out of the clinic. And that’s not all, Kaia (Kandyse McClure) returns and surprises Preacher (Colin Lawrence), telling him she’s found a job nearby as she didn’t like the idea of being away from him.
Finally the moment we’ve all been waiting for arrives, the carnival. At the festivities Ava (Libby Osler) tells Mel she is going to have the hysterectomy, but will freeze her eggs too, just in case. She drops also the bomb that she’s going sell her farmland to build a golf course.
In the hospital, Brie and Mike have their first date and Muriel and Cameron make their relationship official at the carnival. Doc reveals to Hope he has been selected to take part in a clinical trial in the hopes of saving his eye sight. Denny (Kai Bradbury) asks Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale) to go traveling but she reveals she thinks she’s pregnant.
The shocking revelations don’t end there. Kaia gets a text at the carnival from her brigade who have found a body in the forest. As a heavily-pregnant Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) reaches her car, she gets the shock of a lifetime when Calvin (who she thought was dead) shows up behind her and says he wants to be the father to his boys, heavily implying he’s the father of her children.
