Mel and Jack’s wedding sparked a wave of romantic proposals, most notably when Mike asked Brie to be his wife in the highly anticipated Season 6 finale of Virgin River. However, the proposal nearly unfolded quite differently. **Spoiler Alert: Major plot details ahead!**
Immediately after Brady expresses his deep love for Brie, Mike seizes the moment to pop the question. The complex love triangle has been a crucial element of the narrative, highlighted by Brady and Brie’s connection in Episode 5.
In the climactic moments of Season 6, it’s revealed that Mike is aware of Brie’s affair with Brady, making his proposal even more intriguing. The implications of this revelation leave viewers speculating about Brie’s response and whether she will accept his offer.
Actress Zibby Allen shared an interesting behind-the-scenes tidbit, emphasizing that this shocking plot twist was not originally guaranteed to make it into the final edit of the season. Even she was left in suspense until the premiere.
Mike’s Proposal to Brie Had an Alternative Ending
“My cliffhanger left me speechless because we filmed it two different ways,” she revealed. “One version had Mike unaware of Brie’s past with Brady, while the other had him fully informed.”
She continued, “I honestly did not know which cut would make it to the viewers until I saw the final edit. My reaction was one of total surprise and excitement at the direction they chose to take.”
Brie’s impending reply remains one of the most significant cliffhangers for the upcoming seventh season, as the scene fades out just before she can respond. Viewers witnessed her heartfelt conversation with Brady in Episode 9, and she confided in Mel and Kaia about her emotional turmoil prior to Mike’s proposal.
This leaves fans questioning Brie’s mindset, especially since she is unaware of Lark’s recent actions involving Brady’s finances. If Brie were to become Mike’s wife, what would that future entail?
“If she says yes, it feels like she’s rushing into things,” Allen noted. “I truly believe Brie isn’t prepared to marry anyone just yet. If Brady had proposed instead, it might be equally unwise for her to accept without reflection.”
“What the writers choose to develop next is a different story altogether. Personally, I find their dynamic fascinating. Mike’s acknowledgment of Brie’s past with Brady adds layers to their relationship, and it presents challenges both men must be willing to confront regarding who Brie is and where she currently stands.”
