Do Preacher and Paige end up together?

One of the biggest parts of season 5’s plot is the wildfire that the town of Virgin River faces. This devastating event sees different parts of town ruined and different people left stranded in the dangers of the fire. Incredibly scary, the community quickly embarks on a mission led by Hope (the town’s mayor) to save those who are stuck, give medical attention to those who are burned, and find housing for those who lost their homes during this natural disaster. During this process, Hope hired Lizzie (who we met in season 2) as her chief of staff.
Virgin River season 5 picked up exactly where it left off: That grueling scene between Paige, Preacher, and Vince. While Vince received a heavy blow to the head by Preacher—he did so to protect Paige from Vince’s ambush—season 4 ended with viewers not knowing if Vince was dead or alive, and what that would mean for Preacher and Paige. (Remember, Paige accidentally killed Wes—her abusive ex-husband and twin brother to Vince—in season 2.) Well, season 5 showed that Vince survived Preacher’s hit, and ended up being arrested within the first few minutes of the show. While we feel somewhat safe that he remains in custody, he did end up telling the police that Preacher and Paige killed Wes. Now, if that weren’t true, we wouldn’t really be batting an eye. But since it is, the plot remains open, potentially being something that could come back to bite the two.

Soon after Vince is arrested, Paige makes the decision to leave town (again), this time seemingly for good. This is a decision made for the wellbeing of and her son Christopher. Together, the two will start their lives over—hopefully stress free!
Early on into the season, we’re introduced to Kaia, a firefighter who piques the interest of Preacher. Now, Preacher has had more than a couple of romances throughout Virgin River’s run thus far, but it seems that this new fling might be meant to last. Kaia takes a job closer to Virgin River after the town experiences a fire. While this initially seems like a big step in the right direction of their relationship, a turn of events adds to some suspense when Kaia discovers a body under some debris from the fire that potentially could be Wes…
