‘Virgin River’ Season 5 Theory Predicts What’s Next for Preacher & Paige

At first, it seems that Preacher and Paige are finally safe, but there are multiple possibilities to consider. For example, is Vince really dead? While he’s knocked unconscious by Preacher, we don’t know if the blow is fatal. And how are the police going to handle Vince’s head wound and Wes’s disappearance? Preacher is acting out of self-defense, but there are two sides to every story.

However, the biggest question involves the future of Preacher and Paige. As in, will they pick up where things left off? Unfortunately, there’s a theory that claims Paige is going to do what she does best: run away.

This whole situation is a nightmare for someone like Paige, who’s been on the run with her son, Christopher (Chase Petriw). Regardless of whether Vince is alive or dead, she’s bound to face some legal trouble now that she’s out of hiding. Not only did she take Christopher from his father, but she’s also responsible for Wes’s death. Plus, she’s guilty of leaving Christopher in Preacher’s care with no word about when she’d return. To avoid scrutiny, there’s a good chance she’ll flee (again) to get a fresh start somewhere new.

It seems like a probable scenario, especially since Virgin River season 4 introduces a new love interest for Preacher: Julia (played by Lawrence’s real-life wife, Lucia Walters). While the addition could result in a love triangle, we wouldn’t be surprised if Paige slowly (or not-so-slowly) disappears from Preacher’s life.
