Virgin River season 4 left fans with several questions about what’s

to come in the fifth installment. But if there’s one theory fans should consider,

it’s this bold prediction about the future of Preacher (Colin Lawrence) and Paige (Lexa Doig).

Here’s what you need to know: In the season 4 finale of Virgin River, Preacher walks in on a horrifying situation. Vince (Steve Bacic) is holding Paige at gunpoint and demanding she tell him where she buried his twin brother, Wes. When Preacher tells Vince that he buried Wes (not Paige), they begin to brawl. When Vince turns to Paige, Preacher grabs a fire log and hits Vince on the back of the head, making him fall to the ground.

When Vince turns to Paige, Preacher grabs a fire log and hits Vince on the back of the head, making him fall to the ground.

This whole situation is a nightmare for someone like Paige, who’s been on the run with her son, Christopher (Chase Petriw). Regardless of whether Vince is alive or dead, she’s bound to face some legal trouble now that she’s out of hiding. Not only did she take Christopher from his father, but she’s also responsible for Wes’s death. Plus, she’s guilty of leaving Christopher in Preacher’s care with no word about when she’d return. To avoid scrutiny, there’s a good chance she’ll flee (again) to get a fresh start somewhere new.

It seems like a probable scenario, especially since Virgin River season 4 introduces a new love interest for Preacher: Julia (played by Lawrence’s real-life wife, Lucia Walters). While the addition could result in a love triangle, we wouldn’t be surprised if Paige slowly (or not-so-slowly) disappears from Preacher’s life.
