The second part of Virgin River Season 5 focused on heartwarming celebrations, but what fate befell the town's criminal leader, Calvin? Did he meet his end on the show? Overseeing a major marijuana operation, Calvin (played by David Cubitt) is also in charge of a dangerous gang in Virgin River. His conflict with Jack (Martin Henderson) and Brady (Ben Hollingsworth) intensifies when Brady starts working for Calvin after a power shift.
The conclusion of Season 4 left everything in uncertainty. Following a devastating boat accident, Calvin was thought to be deceased, but there was no concrete proof to confirm this. With Season 5 now streaming, has there been any updates on Calvin's fate? Note: Season 5 spoilers may follow!
Does Calvin die in Virgin River?
Shockingly, no. After Calvin’s supposedly fatal boat crash in Virgin River Season 4, it’s revealed that he survived during Season 5.
Netflix
Calvin, who had been missing since Episode 9 of Season 4, was believed to be dead by Melissa (Barbara Pollard) and Brady by the season finale. It wasn't until Season 5 Episode 10 that fans finally got some answers, as Calvin suddenly approached Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) during the town's Labor Day festival.
This is tied to Calvin's relationship with Melissa, as his sudden reveal of being alive drastically shifted their dynamic. Since Season 4, Melissa has taken over Calvin's work, erasing any leadership he once had. In the season finale, Melissa visits Brady's house to plan the boat crash that was meant to kill Calvin.
As Season 5 progresses, the reason behind Melissa's desire to get rid of Calvin is still unclear, aside from her desire to take complete control of his business. With two episodes left in Season 5, there is a chance that Melissa's motives will be clarified.
Meanwhile, there have been significant developments in Charmaine's life. Season 5 Part 1 reveals that Calvin is the father of her twins, potentially bringing Calvin back into her life in a new capacity. According to fans, Calvin's return to Virgin River is tied to Melissa's arrest, creating an opportunity for him to reclaim what he believes is still his.

In Season 5, we learn that Calvin survived the boat crash and is alive and well. This revelation adds a new layer of suspense to the show, as we wonder what Calvin will do next and how he will affect the lives of the other characters. I am excited to see how Calvin's storyline unfolds in the remaining episodes of Season 5 and in future seasons of the show.
