Will Mel Lose Her Babies To Mark’s Mom In Season 4 Of Virgin River?

It’s almost time for Virgin River Season 4 to bring the small town drama to Netflix this summer. After the season 3 cliffhanger where Mel was pregnant but unsure if Jack was the father, we’re excited to see all the answers come to light.

The trailer for the highly anticipated new season previews all of our favorite characters, including Mel and her baby. She and Jack are considering a paternity test to determine who the actual father is, and it could be an important decision for another reason.

In which Virgin River Season 4 Mel receives word that her mother-in-law, the mother of her late husband Mark, wants to seek custody of the two embryos she and Mark saved. The kicker? Mel used the embryos for IVF to try and get pregnant… and she is!

Not only does Mel have a paternity crisis, now she also has to worry about a possible legal battle with her former family members. As they are all still mourning Mark and trying to get up and move on, Mel will lose her baby (or babies) in it Virgin River Season 4?

Will Mel lose her babies in Season 4 of Virgin River?

For now, we can only predict what’s to come for Mel and Jack and their baby in Season 4, but with Jack’s sister Brie on her side, we dare to assume that Mel is unlikely to lose custody of their baby or any remaining embryos . But you never know!

As the trailer also suggests, Mel and Jack are considering the possibility of having the baby paternity tested before the baby is born, which would help their case with Mel’s mother-in-law. If Jack really is the baby’s father and it’s not Mark, then his mother has no chance of fighting for custody.

Putting aside the added stress Mel’s mother-in-law appears to have added during her pregnancy, we hope that no matter what happens, Mel and Jack have a healthy and happy journey to parenthood. Things often go wrong at Virgin River, but we have every faith that things will go well.

Virgin River Season 4 premieres Wednesday, July 20 on Netflix.
