The Christmas special episodes saw Mel go on a journey to find her biological father, before realising that her dad was living in Virgin River all along. However, after Mel discovered her dad was Everett Reid, she was saddened to learn he didn't want anything to do with her.
Later in part two, however, Everett showed up at Mel and Jack's (Martin Henderson) home with metaphoric open arms after some reflection. But the conversation was cut as Everett told his grown-up daughter that he had something important to tell her.
Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith discussed what the cliffhanger could mean for the family's future, and whether Everett's news involves potentially more half-siblings for Mel. "I think we're exploring more in Season 6 is who Everett Reid is, what his backstory is, what his connection to Virgin River was when he met her mom and then also what it is today since it's a small town," he told Deadline.
