The scenic trails and emotional storms of Sullivan’s Crossing are back, and Season 4 is already delivering the drama fans have been craving. New episodes drop every Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW, with the second episode “Open Wounds” airing tonight, April 27.

At the heart of the turmoil is Dr. Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan), a brilliant neurosurgeon who finally seemed to have found peace. After a rocky return to her Nova Scotia hometown, Maggie had rebuilt her life at the family campground. She committed to a new career path in Timberlake and embraced a deep, steady romance with the rugged yet tender Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray). Their relationship had weathered countless tests — until the ghost from her past materialized at the end of Season 3.

That ghost has a name: Liam, Maggie’s secret ex-husband (Marcus Rosner). His shocking arrival has thrown Maggie’s carefully constructed world into chaos. As she grapples with unresolved feelings and the weight of decisions long buried, every choice now ripples into an uncertain future. Liam’s presence forces Maggie to confront not only her history but the impulsive marriage she believed was long over and annulled. Meanwhile, Cal — the man who stood by her through everything — finds himself battling jealousy and doubt, questioning whether Maggie can truly leave her past behind.

The tension is palpable. Early episodes show Maggie investigating why Liam has truly returned, while Cal wrestles with his emotions as old wounds reopen. Is Liam seeking closure, redemption, or something more complicated? And can the love Maggie shares with Cal survive this unexpected storm? The series, adapted from Robyn Carr’s bestselling novels, excels at blending heartfelt romance with small-town family dynamics, medical emergencies, and personal growth.

Adding to the emotional layers, Maggie continues navigating life without her father Sully (Scott Patterson), who is absent this season following his storyline in Ireland. This absence deepens her sense of independence — and isolation — as she runs Sullivan’s Crossing alongside Cal and the tight-knit community.

Fans can expect more “messy” developments: lingering glances, difficult conversations, and the kind of raw vulnerability that has made the show a hit for those who love Virgin River-style storytelling. With stunning Nova Scotia backdrops, complex character arcs, and the central love triangle heating up, Season 4 promises to keep viewers hooked episode after episode.

Will Maggie choose the safe, devoted future with Cal, or will the pull of unfinished business with Liam reshape everything? Tune in tonight at 7 p.m. your time (8 p.m. ET) to find out. One thing is certain — nothing stays simple at Sullivan’s Crossing.
