There's a two-months wait until their release.

Months after they began, the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes show no signs of ending. As a result, many beloved TV shows have been delayed indefinitely, leaving us with nothing to watch. Under these circumstances, Netflix's Virgin River remains one of the few shows that will keep us entertained this fall.

Just recently, the fifth season of the beloved drama series based on Robyn Carr's book series of the same name premiered. Fans have already binged ten episodes, but there's still two more to go, scheduled for November 30th. As the trailer shows, these will be Christmas episodes.

Here are five major storylines to expect in the upcoming second part of Virgin River Season 5.

5. Mel's search for her biological father

Mel's lot hasn't been the most enviable. Her husband died. She never knew her father. In Season 5, she'll finally start looking for him.

4. Lizzie is pregnant with Denny's child

The last couple of seasons have marked a real baby boom in Virgin River. First, Charmaine got pregnant. Then Mel herself succumbed to the baby craze. In the second part of Season 5, Lizzie will follow suit.

3. Brie and Dan's Mistletoe Kiss

There's been a lot of discussion surrounding Brie, Dan and Mike's love triangle. While Jack's sister and the Virgin River detective are a swoon-worthy couple in the books, they appear rather stale in the Netflix show. As a result, fans prefer Brie and Dan's secret romance, which may get another chapter in the Christmas episodes...

2. Preacher is in some serious trouble

Season 5 seems to be going well for John Middleton so far. He's found love with firefighter Kaia, a newly added character. However, the trailer for the Christmas episodes hints at some impending trouble for Preacher as he shows signs of desperation.

1. Mel's father is in Virgin River

Perhaps the best Christmas present for Melinda is the news that her biological father is in Virgin River. Fans have already made their predictions as to who that might be. But we'll have to see how the story unfolds to find out if our guesses are correct.

One thing is certain, part 2 of Virgin River's fifth season won't be a disappointment. It is set for release on November 30th.
