Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Virgin River season 6.
While some key mysteries, such as the outcome of Preacher’s murder trial, were revealed in season 6, Virgin River managed to squeeze a number of twists and turns into the season’s final episode. Chief among them was Jack’s arrival to Charmaine’s house at the very end of the episode, when he clearly discovered something horrifying. Now, the question remains: Was Charmaine killed at the end of Virgin River season 6?
Virgin River Season 6’s Finale Hints That Calvin Killed Charmaine
Virgin River Season 6 Ended On A Major Cliffhanger
When Jack arrived at Charmaine’s house, it was immediately clear that something was very wrong. There was no answer as Jack entered the home, and as he moved through the living room, he saw that various items and pieces of furniture had been knocked around, as though there had been a struggle. Things became most alarming when Jack opened the door to the twins’ room and looked horrified at what he found. The camera did not pan to what Jack was able to see, leaving audiences wondering what he found in the babies’ room that caused him so much distress.
Given the state of Charmaine’s house, the fact that her twins seem to be gone, and Jack’s reaction, many have wondered whether Calvin may have killed Charmaine. He would certainly have motive in light of their ongoing custody battle, and he has already been established as a villain because of his history as a gang leader. For various reasons, though, this Virgin River cliffhanger may not be what it seems.
Charmaine Is Still Alive In Virgin River’s Books (But Her Story Is Very Different)
Could Charmaine’s Book Storyline Reveal Any Insights Into What Happened?
The Virgin River Netflix show is based on a book series of the same name, written by Robyn Carr, but the show has already deviated considerably from the books. For one, in the books, Mel and Jack’s story is just one of many stories explored throughout the series. It doesn’t take center stage in the way it clearly does in the Virgin River show.
As her Netflix arc has already deviated so significantly from the books, her future is truly uncertain.
Truthfully, Charmaine is only a minor character in the books. She doesn’t consider herself seriously committed to Jack at any point—a major deviation from the show, in which Charmaine essentially tries to trap Jack into staying with her—and she also doesn’t live in Virgin River. Although she doesn’t die in the books, in Virgin River, Charmaine really feels like an entirely different character.
