Virgin River Season 5 Episode 9 Recap
The episode begins with Mel and Jack. Mel is unable to discuss her decision and attempts to go on a run. Jack suggests a hike together to clear their heads instead. He wants to show her Angel’s Peak, which he hopes could be restorative.
While hiking, they discuss their feelings. Mel feels guilty for not wanting to try again. She thinks she is letting Jack down, who really wants to be a father.
Jack admits that he now shares in Mel’s dreams of starting a family but admits there are other ways to have a baby. Mel doesn’t want to adopt, though.
Their chat quickly turns into an argument. Mel is angry with the situation and feels unable to take on any more loss. During this heated debate, Jack realizes that they are lost, both physically and metaphorically.
To make matters worse, it begins to rain, and a storm rages overhead. Mel laughs at the unfairness of it all. It makes for a comical moment. They kiss each other and then thankfully find their path back to the Peak.
