After five seasons, Netflix is finally showing fans what Christmas is like

in Virgin River — which, thanks to the snail’s pace at which time progresses on this show,

was only possible through the magic of a time jump.

And what good is a time jump if it doesn’t throw a little mystery into the mix? Virgin River hit fans with a doozy at the end of Part 1, revealing that Mel’s mother had an affair with someone in town, and that he could very well be Mel’s biological father.

So, who is this geographically convenient man? That’s just one of several questions we’re asking as we look ahead to Part 2 of Season 5, which hits the streamer on Thursday, Nov. 30.

Netflix has released a trailer for the two-episode holiday event, and while it did tease several intriguing developments to come, it also left us with — you guessed it — more questions! In addition to Mel’s paternity, we’re also wondering about one character’s possible pregnancy, another’s potential prison sentence, and the likelihood of several new relationships lasting to see New Year’s Day.

Read on for the burning questions we need answered when Virgin River returns for Part 2 in November. When you’re done, drop a comment with your own additions to our list. You’re also welcome to venture an answer to any of the below. Wild speculation is our favorite game.

Is Lizzie really pregnant?

We were 50/50 on whether Lizzie was actually pregnant at the end of Part 1, but her chat with Hope in the trailer (“What if I can’t handle it and I’m not a good mom?”) has us thinking otherwise.

Will Ricky come home for the holidays?

This one feels like a long shot, but considering Ricky’s basic training was scheduled to end in December, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that the holiday episodes could gift us with at least one awkward Ricky-Lizzie-Denny moment. God bless us, everyone.
