Jack breaks the news to Mel, joking that this Christmas “might be one that we’ll never forgot.” Just at that moment, Mel’s sister Joey and her family show up, and they waste no time in talking about those love letters she discovered between their mother and a mystery man – the one who may just be Mel’s biological dad.
In the final scene of the opening nine minutes, Lizzie gets festive with Denny, Doc, and Hope as they express their excitement about the new arrival. That’s right – Lizzie’s pregnant. Everyone’s delighted about the news, with Doc saying, “I can’t believe we’re going to have a little one running around. We are both very, very excited.”
Lizzie then reveals that her mom is “proud of me for the first time in my life,” before Denny says: “I’m sure telling her you’re pregnant won’t change that.” This is news to Hope, who questions why she hasn’t told her mom the big news yet.
“Lizzie, you have to tell her,” she exclaims. “It’ll be a much worse blow if she finds out some other way.” Considering this is Virgin River, no doubt there’ll be some difficult conversations to come.
