However, in a shocking turn of events in season 5 part 1, it has been revealed that he is still very much alive. Without further ado, let’s dive right in to find out more details about what has happened to the character.
How did Calvin Die in Virgin River? Or did he?
Before part 1 of Virgin River season 5 was released, Calvin’s was last seen in episode 9 of season 4, where his boat was seen burning up in flames after a massive explosion took place on the boat. By the finale of the previous season, Brady and Melissa went on to believe that Calvin was indeed dead. However, the series kept his future uncertain by revealing that his dead body was not found by the police.
Following the preceding season’s ending, Virgin River abstained from disclosing anything new regarding the character or his future intentionally to make sure that viewers assumed he passed away in the boat explosion. But just when it seemed like Calvin was not coming back, a shocking fifth-season twist revealed the truth about his fate.
In episode 10 of Virgin River season 5, titled, Labor Day, all of a sudden Calvin was seen approaching a pregnant Charmaine at the town’s festival for Labor Day. Charmaine seemed thoroughly surprised to see him. She then went on to acknowledge that she thought he had died. In response to Charmaine’s reaction, said, Calvin said, “Yeah, so did the person who tried to kill me.”
