It’s time to set the record straight. <\/p>
A new rivalry has emerged in season 5 of Virgin River<\/a> between the small town\u2019s notorious bad boy, Dan Brady, and local police detective Mike Valenzuela.<\/p>\n Though the ex-Marines served together alongside Jack (Martin Henderson) and Preacher (Colin Lawrence), they have never seen eye to eye.<\/p>\n To cope with the transition to sleepy civilian life, Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) fell into local criminal operations with Calvin in the past, while Mike (Marco Grazzini) has always adhered to and enforced the law.<\/p>\n In season 5 of the hit Netflix<\/a> show based on Robyn Carr\u2019s best-selling novels<\/a>, the contrasting duo become part of a love triangle around Brie Sheridan (Zibby Allen).<\/p>\n In part 1, Brady appears to have reformed, as the young veteran becomes more involved in the community and his relationship with Brie flourishes.<\/p>\n Until this season, Mike (Marco Grazzini) remained on the outskirts of this close-knit community, showing up in a professional capacity whenever his friends needed him, such as when Wes\u2019s twin brother Vince tried to attack Paige and Preacher in season 4.<\/p>\n Mike develops a more prominent role when Brady is recruited into Melissa Montgomery\u2019s drug smuggling through Jack\u2019s new caravan park in season 5. It\u2019s taken Jack most of season 3 and 4 to trust Brady again after his involvement with Calvin in the past, but Brady won Jack over and Brie\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n In an effort to take down Melissa, Brady offers to go undercover for Mike, so there is an inside man to provide evidence of her criminal activity. Mike is initially sceptical about Brady\u2019s intentions, knowing of his shady past, but he reluctantly agrees.<\/p>
