Curious about what happens to Colin Lawrence’s Preacher in Virgin River Season 6 and whether he was sent to prison? The Season 5 finale left Preacher in a challenging spot as the authorities connected him to the murder of Wes, the ex-husband of his ex-girlfriend and lover Paige, who was the one who killed him.
Does Preacher go to jail? What happens to him in Virgin River Season 6? Here are all the details.
Is Preacher sent to jail in Virgin River Season 6?
Preacher avoids jail time in Virgin River Season 6. Preacher goes to trial for his connection to Wes’ murder. While he did not kill Wes, he helped Paige dispose of his body.
The situation gets murky when the prosecution obtains evidence that could incriminate Preacher: a voicemail. Adding to the complications, Preacher’s best friend, Jack, from his Marine days, is called to the stand to testify against him. Jack, however, tries to help Preacher. Ultimately, Preacher is only convicted of disposing of human remains. Instead of jail time, Preacher is only charged with a misdemeanor and sentenced to 200 hours of community service.
Despite the intense trial, Preacher found some semblance of comfort via his new romance with Kaia, a new resident of Virgin River. Kaia eventually admitted her feelings for Preacher and offered great moral support to him during his trial.
Paige, on the other hand, is stuck in a sticky situation. The jury is divided on whether Wes’ death was accidental or if Paige intentionally killed him. Moreover, in an Entertainment Weekly interview, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed that Preacher’s trial was used to book-end his and Paige’s relationship storyline. “This was the last vestige and loose thread from their relationship,” he said.
