If Northam resigns, then Fairfax takes charge. He could then appoint a Lt. Gov, who would take charge if Fairfax resigned. That's their way of avoiding the speaker taking over.

However, I doubt Fairfax will resign unless there is a 2nd accusation that comes out or if it gets reported/verified by a less partisan source.
