What is Virgin River season 4 about?

Virgin River follows Mel, a midwife and nurse practitioner who leaves the big city to take up a new job in the small town of Virgin River. Soon, though, she realises it’s not the new start she hopes it to be – that it can’t be the new start she wants it to be – until she looks inward and starts to heal herself first.

The official Netflix synopsis for series 4 explains that, despite not knowing whether her baby belongs to her deceased husband Mark, or to new potential partner Jack, Mel is optimistic: for years she yearned to be a mother and now her dream is one step closer to reality.
