According to major media, the opening five minutes of the premiere episode confirm a significant character's demise. The show centers on nurse practitioner Mel Monroe, who relocated to Northern California after her husband's death. Mel and Jack married in series six and are now contemplating starting a family.
The latest preview reveals that Jack stumbled upon the corpse of local narcotics dealer Calvin, who fathered Charmaine's twins. Charmaine mysteriously vanished the morning after Jack and Mel's wedding, and she and her babies are now missing. Season six ended with Jack appearing troubled by what he discovered at Charmaine's residence.
The puzzle of the cliffhanger has now been solved, but raises more questions for the new season. What exactly Jack saw at Charmaine's residence in season six remains unclear, and where Charmaine and her babies are is unknown. Brie and Mike will investigate Charmaine's vanishing throughout the season.
Jack and Mel will begin steps forward in parenthood and experience the adoption process. The newly-weds will travel for their honeymoon, marking the show's first journey beyond North America. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith said, 'When we committed to the cliffhanger of season six with Charmaine not showing up at the wedding, and spent all season planting seeds of danger for her, we went back and forth on, what did Jack see?
Who did he see? ' He added that it 'would've been disappointing' had Jack merely discovered an empty property.
