The people ofVirgin Riverare facing new challenges and threats.
In the dramatic new trailer, Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) decides to take a step back from the clinic as she navigates her high-risk pregnancy with her boyfriend Jack (Martin Henderson).
“It makes sense to prioritize my high risk pregnancy and my family over my job,” she tells Doc (Tim Matheson) and he responds, “I don’t want you to go.”

However, Mel insists that he will be OK without her as long as he has help from Dr. Cameron (Mark Ghanimé), saying, “I know you want me but you need him.”
Mel also reassures Jack that he is going to be “a fantastic father,” adding, “You might even be better than me.” Jack replies, “Oh really, I know you don’t mean that,” and she jokingly adds, “Obviously not.”
Jack also gave some love advice to his friend and bartender John “Preacher” Middleton (Colin Lawrence), sharing, ‘You never know when the love of your life is gonna walk right under this bar” before he is seen getting close with Paige (Lexa Doig).
