'Virgin River' Fans Are Convinced They Figured Out Who Shot Jack
Season 3 of Virgin River left fans with so many questions: Will Hope pull through after her car accident? Will Doc retire from his medical practice? What will happen with Jack and Charmaine's twins now that Charmaine's new husband Todd is in the picture? Who is the father of Mel's baby? Netflix has not yet confirmed that the show will be returning for a fourth season, but fans are desperate for answers.
And one of the show's biggest questions still lingers from the season 2 finale: Who shot Jack? At the end of the second season, Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) is shot by an unknown assailant in his bar. At the beginning of the third season, Jack makes a quick recovery but has no memory of the shooting. Mike Valenzuela (Marco Grazzini), who served alongside Jack, Preacher, and Brady in the Marines, is the detective investigating the case.
As the season progresses, Jack begins to recall snippets from the night, and he's certain that his former friend and fellow Marine Dan Brady (Ben Hollingsworth), who happens to be dating Jack's sister, was involved. Brady's alibi falls apart, and season 3 ends with a police officer arresting Brady after finding the same type of gun used to shoot Jack in his car while Mike looks on. Brady insists someone planted the evidence. If Brady didn't shoot Jack, then who did?
The show's Instagram feed posted a behind-the-scenes photo of Brady and Jack's sister, Brie, and fans took to the comments section to speculate on who was responsible for the shooting. One viewer insisted, "I like Brady and Brie together, I think Mike is behind setting Brady up!!!" Another fan agreed, "I think it was that cop friend that shot Jack. Something is off about him." Another fan jumped in to say, "I think that too. He's been there too much and whatever he's hiding from Afghanistan will be the issue."
The conversation continues on Ben's Instagram feed, where fans jumped to his character's defense. One fan insisted, "I don't believe he shot Jack, but I need to know who did!"
Another commenter said, "I also have my eye on Mike for some strange reason. He's eager to get Brady in jail, and remember Brady also knows what he did when they were fighting the war." Another viewer said, "Agreed 100%! It's definitely Mike that shot Jack. Him sticking around is suspicious."
One viewer chimed in, "I think it was the dirty cop friend!! I don't trust him. He is shady!!" and another agreed: "The cop friend is giving me bad vibes!"
Could Mike be a dirty cop? We're eagerly awaiting the answer to this question and more!
