Who shot Jack on Virgin River?
The last time we visited the small Californian town of Virgin River, fan favourite Jack (Martin Henderson) was lying on the floor of his bar, bleeding out after being shot by an unseen attacker while his new beau Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) tried to save his life. Advertisement  After eight months of worrying over that rather cruel cliffhanger, season three is finally here, with 10 brand new episodes landing on Netflix tomorrow. Thanks to the new seasons trailer, we know for certain that Jack survives the shooting, but were still desperate to find out which member of the Virgin River cast shot him in the first place. While showrunner Sue Tenney recently told Us Weekly that season three would end with an arrest, everything is not the way it looks, with her adding: The story is not over with the arrest.  With fans still clueless as to who the perpetrator is, here are our theories as to who shot Jack in Virgin River. Stop scrolling, start watching.

Brady  Netflix  Suspect number one at the moment is Dan Brady  Jacks army friend whos spent the last two seasons getting involved with some seriously shady people. After falling out with Jack at the end of season one, Brady joined alliances with local drug lord Calvin and only worsened their friendship when he tried to buy Lillys farm under false pretences on behalf of the marijuana-growing gang. Jack and Brady arent on the best of terms and we know Calvin, Bradys boss, would ideally like him out of the picture after he convinced Spencer, one of his men, to work with the police so its possible that Calvin asked him to assassinate Jack  a theory supported by a first-look clip of season three. In the clip, we see Calvin threaten Brady before saying, on the plus side, I guess you did try to make up for everything considering what happened to Jack, implying that it was in fact Brady who shot his former Marine buddy. That being said, we know that Calvin ordered Brady to kill Spencer and that he couldnt do it, instead helping Spencer and his family escape Calvins clutches and faking his death for the gang. Benjamin Hollingsworth, who plays Brady on the show, spoke to TVLine about the rumours, saying: Im pretty sure Brady is on everyones suspect list. I wouldnt be surprised if the fans are placing bets about who ended up shooting Jack  and I wonder what the over-under is on Brady, he added. When I play the role, I try to dance that line of ambiguity between his intentional actions and actions he might have done out of resentment or anger. I want to leave the possibility open that it could have been him, because it is possible. Id like to believe that he didnt, but thats because Im playing him. Being so close to him, I dont believe hes someone that would do that, regardless of his state of mind. Calvin  NEtflix  If Brady didnt shoot Jack, then itd be a safe bet to say Calvin (or rather one of his men) did. The local drug lord has had it out for Jack since he began meddling with the growers business by discouraging Lilly from selling her farm to them and convincing Spencer to work with the police to bring Calvin down. We know Calvin would ideally like Jack to be bumped off after having Brady and Jimmy intimidate him and telling Brady in the season three first-look that hed made up for helping Calvin escape with what happened to Jack. Its very possible that Calvin is behind the shooting. Charmaine  Netflix  Some fans are convinced that its actually Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley)  Jacks former flame and the mother to his twins  who pulled a gun on the bar owner. While an unlikely theory, we know Charmaine hasnt handled Jacks rejection of her and his new relationship with Mel very well, and on occasions shes taken that out of both Jack and Mel by being incredibly difficult and demanding. Of course, killing Jack would be counterproductive for her  her twins wouldnt have a father and she would no longer get any financial support. Speaking to TVLine about the theory, Lauren Hammersley said: Its possible! while Martin Henderson, who plays Jack, said: I always joke that its most likely Charmaine. It does pop into your mind! I guess well have to wait for season three to find out. Wes Logans twin brother  Netflix  For those who need reminding, Wes was the abusive husband of Paige Lassiter, who Paige accidentally killed whilst defending herself. In the final episode of season two, we meet Wess twin brother (Steve Bacic), a police officer who has travelled from Miami to Virgin River to find out what happened to his missing brother. He suspects Paige had something to do with it and that Preacher was close with Paige, threatening Preacher and asking him to pass on a message to Paige. Hear me out  perhaps he returned to the bar that night with the intention of shooting Preacher but ended up firing at Jack instead. Either way, Im sure well see a lot more of Wess twin brother in the season to come. Learn more about where Virgin River is filmed and how to read the Virgin River books in order.
