Virgin River Season 3 Trailer Teases What's Next for Mel and Jack After His Near-Fatal Shooting
There's a lot in store for Mel and Jack shippers in the third season of Virgin River.
Netflix dropped the trailer for the upcoming season on Friday, seemingly picking up right where things left off in the show's sophomore run.
After Jack (Martin Henderson) survives being shot in his own bar, he dives deeper into his blossoming romance with Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge). And he's also being pressured to settle down by his fellow Virgin River residents.
"If you're smart, you'll give that lady a ring and get to starting a family," a local townsperson tells Jack.
And the idea seems to be on Mel's mind as well. Later, she brings up the idea of having kids with Jack.
"How would you feel about me having a baby?"

But they don't seem to be on the same page when it comes to starting a family. Jack tells Mel that he "can't be the person that stands in the way of you becoming a mother." As Mel suggests that he's "not listening" to what she wants, Jack replies: "I know what you want. I don't know if I can give it to you."
From there, Jack receives advice from Doc Mullins (Tim Matheson) about his predicament.
"It would be a tragedy for you to go through life alone," Doc says, "Because of a misguided perception of the woman you love."
