Who shot Jack in Virgin River? (Virgin River spoilers)

As you remember, Virgin River season 2 ended on a major cliffhanger when Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) arrives at the bar and finds Jack lying on the floor after being shot.

At the time, we didn’t know how bad the wound was or whether or not Jack would make it out alive. Fortunately, by the season 3 premiere, Jack was fully recovered. But the problem was no one knew who shot him.

Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) became the primary suspect as Jack started to recall some of his memories of the night he was shot and remembered Brady was there. When cops find a gun in Brady’s car, he’s arrested on suspicion of the crime as the season came to a close.

By the time season 4 started, Brady was behind bars having been charged with shooting Jack; however, he’s adamant he did not shoot Jack. While many found it hard to believe Brady, he was indeed telling the truth about his innocence!

Who shot Jack in Virgin River?

In an unexpected twist, we discover that it was Vince (Steve Bacic), Wes’ (Steve Bacic) twin brother, who was the one to shoot Jack.

During a flashback in the season 4 finale, we get transported back to that night at the bar and see Vince show up to confront Preacher. Jack’s there, and seems cautious, picking up a big knife to defend himself. Vince threatens Jack with a gun, and the two get into a shuffle, resulting in Jack cutting Vince in the leg to get away.

Vince is on the ground as Jack pulls out his phone, likely to call Preacher and/or the police, but he doesn’t get the chance. Vince shoots Jack, and leaves the bar.

So we finally know what happened in the season 2 finale! Vince was looking around for answers as to what happened to Wes, and Jack was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time. Vince did not go to the bar with the intention of shooting Jack, but that’s just how it all went down.

Virgin River is streaming now on Netflix.
