Season 5 of "Virgin River" will have 12 episodes, the same as Season 4. You won't have any time jumps as you start Episode 1, as Alex Breckenridge confirmed with Glamour, "It starts the next morning. So it's like no time has passed." Although the order has yet to be confirmed, we do know the titles of all 12 episodes, and there are definitely some clues about how the season will pan out.
The episode titled "Labor Day" could point to someone giving birth — hopefully Charmaine. Although, if there's a big time jump, we might also see Mel in labor with her daughter. "A Second Chance" might be Brie and Brady — or Mike! — and perhaps Denny and Lizzie finding a way. Viewers have already had to endure the drama that went along with Jack's house fire in Season 3, but they may have to live through yet more flames if the episode titles "Trial By Fire" and "From the Ashes" are any indication.
Whether they're part of a fire or something else, an episode titled "Never Gonna Be the Same" and one titled "Heroes Rise" suggest something big and scary may be on the horizon, causing mixed results for some characters. But not all the episodes have a drama feel — "Father Christmas" lets us know we'll see some holiday merriment mixed in the season, too. And we can't forget about "The More the Merrier," which hints at an unexpected visitor, perhaps Jack's mysterious ex-wife Mandy.
