'Jane The Virgin' recap- 'Chapter Nineteen'

Jane The Virgin started with young Jane telling her peers how their virginity was like a flower that could never be put together once it was crushed. Her friend Lina tells them that she knows what actually happens, but Jane wants to hold onto the version she was given.

In the present, Jane has cycled through all of the stages of grief over her break up with Rafael. All of them, that is, except for acceptance. She goes to see him in an effort to talk to him and find out how they can fix their relationship. He points out that they were too different and that as much as they were doing good, it all happened fast. But Jane wants to work on the relationship.

Before they can figure anything out, all of her friends come in to prepare for the baby shower. Lina only adds to the awkwardness when she asks the former couple to pose for a photo.

Moving on to the Everglades, Roman takes Petra to a cabin where he warns her not to yell for help since no one can hear. He mentions that he had killed his brother and there would be no hesitation on his part to do it again. Back at the police station, Michael is worried since they can’t find Petra even though there is an APB out on the car. Nadine assures him they will be found.

Rogelio and Xiomara are talking about his one night in Vegas for a show. She is having trouble getting excited since she is sitting on the secret that she kissed her ex-boyfriend. Rogelio surprises her by telling Xiomara that she is opening for his show and they arranged for a photoshoot. He asks why she is not “jumping for joy” and she responds that she is just surprised that he put this together for her.

Jane is trying to work, but she is overcome with memories of her time with Rafael, including their first kiss when they first met, the time she fell in the pool at the hotel, and their first kiss when they got together. Lina comes to talk to her, having sensed something was going on. Jane mentions he began acting weird the night before and Lina tells her about the dinner he had the night before.

They go through the receipts and Jane realizes it was his mother that Lina saw him talking to. Jane has images of her past selves telling her to fight for Rafael and she tells Lina she needs to talk to him. Jane finds Rafael in his office and he tells her what happened with his mom. She goes to comfort him, but he tells her that they are different and the dinner had nothing to do with their break up. Jane interrupts and asks him if he still loves her. He says yes, but that it doesn’t mean their relationship would work. Jane begins Rafael to consider couples’ therapy.

Later, Jane has tried calling ten different therapists before she is able to get an appointment. Xiomara comes in and Jane tells her about what she is planning. Xiomara then asks if she can do something for her and admits that she kissed Marco. Jane is disappointed in her mother and doesn’t know whether she should tell Rogelio, especially since he is a proud man. Jane says she is scheduling an appointment for her mom.

At the therapist’s office, we meet Barbara Stanbrook as Jane and Rafael go through their relationship with her. They tell the amazed woman about their lives and how they got mixed up with each other. Jane tells her they are both different but that they are in love. When Barbara asks if they want to fix things, Jane is quick with her response while Rafael is hesitant.

Meanwhile, Roman talks to Petra about Sin Rostro going underground and wanting to take things over now that he has the information he needs on who her former contacts had been. Petra sees his phone and comes up with a plan to seduce him so that she can hide his phone from him.

Back with Barbara Stanbrook, she says they are in love but have to overcome the differences they have if Rafael and Jane want to make things work. Jane sees her three images again, who are excited at the progress that is being made. But when the therapist brings up Rafael’s hesitance, stemming from the things that have happened in his life, Jane is disappointed. Stanbrook asks if he is willing to make things work and Jane’s image of her from the pool urges her to say that Rafael should. But only he can answer that.

Michael is working when he gets a phone call from Andie. They are talking about getting together again and starting a relationship. He begins to tell her he has told a few people including Jane and she is stunned to find out that he saw her. But before he can continue, Nadine tells Michael they found Ramon.

Jane is emotionally drained from the appointment, but she perks up to attend her baby shower. She sees everyone she loves there, although she is surprised to see her romance writer’s group (Lina misunderstood her sarcastic “Yeah” response) and the sight of Andie makes her go cold. Andie asks to talk and they go somewhere private. Jane is not happy about being stalked and Andie explains she asked a mutual friend to see how he was doing and she was curious about Jane. Before Jane can reply, Lina tells her to come back in and is definitely not pleased when Andie asks her to keep this from Michael.

Jane goes back inside to see Rogelio is going to sing her a song. It is about getting to hold his little girl’s baby since he never got the chance. His daughter is touched by the performance, but things are ruined when the leader of Jane’s writer’s group slaps him. Apparently they have history.

Jane talks to her teacher as Rogelio explains to Xiomara what happened. Apparently, he wanted the lead role in a film adaptation they were doing for a film and he ended up sleeping with her. He didn’t get the part and left, not realizing she thought they were going on a romantic getaway. Jane orders her dad to apologize as Lina begins to do a toast to her friend.

Lina talks about meeting Jane when she took over her sex ed lesson as kids and she tells Jane how lucky her baby is to have her as a mother. Jane hugs her and Lina mentions she guessed May 25 as the day she would have the baby. She thought Jane would have a C-section and is shocked to find out she is basically losing her virginity to the baby.

Petra tries to sneak out of Roman’s bed and grabs his phone. She is able to call for help and give her location, but Roman has woken up and grabs her arm. Michael and Nadine get the call and go to find her. Petra runs away and hides from Roman. She finds a hiding spot and can hear him following her in the leaves of the trees. She finds a sharp object and as she holds it for protection, she hears Roman come up behind her. He runs at her and ends up impaling himself and falling into the water.

Later, she is crying to herself when Michael appears. As soon as Petra realizes who it is, she grabs him in a hug as he assures her she is safe.

Jane asks her mom and grandmother to suggest to Lina that they finish the shower, but they are apparently waiting for Rafael. She begins to talk about them not being in a good spot when he comes in with flowers. Lina plays a game of how well they know each other, including what they want to sing to the baby and what Jane wants the baby to say first (daddy) while Rafael wants the baby to have all of Jane’s traits. The words remind him of how much he loves her and he agrees to try on their relationship.

In the Everglades, Nadine comforts Petra as Michael finds the flash drive they were looking for.

Back at the party, Rogelio apologizes to the teacher for abandoning her. He is so charming when she forgives him that she ends up kissing him. Rogelio immediately pulls away from her.

Nadine is getting ready to leave while Michael works when Andie comes in. Andie gets ready to talk to Michael about Jane.

Jane and Rafael begin their therapy exercises with a three-minute exercise to stare into each other’s eyes. They both feel silly, though, and the next set of exercises tell them to be spontaneous. However, they decide to get rid of the list and Jane suggests they go skinny dipping. They take off their clothes and are having a romantic dip in the pool and Jane tells him she is ready to have sex. They begin passionately kissing some more, but then are interrupted by a hotel security guard.

The next morning, Jane tells her mother what almost happened. She tells Xiomara that in the moment, she would have had sex with Rafael but she knows it wouldn’t have changed anything. Jane is surprised her mom is supporting her on this, especially since she had been encouraging Jane to have sex for years. Xiomara points out that she waited all this time and it is important to her. She tells her daughter to figure out a compromise that would help her relationship with Rafael.

Michael works with a tech who is decrypting the flash drive that Roman had. Once he finishes this, Michael goes to sit down and read the names of the people involved in Sin Rostro’s network. Then, Michael is stunned to see a familiar name on the list. It is Nadine and she had been working for Sin Rostro and had been impeding the investigation. Nadine never knew who she really was but had tipped off the bellboy who was later killed. Michael is hurt and tells her he needs to tell their boss. But then he says that it could take him a while to go through all the names and he might not find hers for a couple hours or so before walking away.

Rogelio and Xiomara are getting ready for the photoshoot and she notices that he looks upset. He admits to her about what happened with Amanda and Xiomara forgives him a kiss meant nothing. Rogelio is happy to have her forgiveness. Xiomara mentions he would forgive her if the shoe was on the other foot and he says he would. She is about to confess when an assistant lets them know the photoshoot is ready.

Petra calls Rafael to talk to him about Roman, but he interrupts since Jane has arrived. When she hangs up, Petra makes a phone call to her mother.

Jane sits down across from Rafael and tells him she thinks they should move in together because then they will be able to spend time together when he’s home and she thinks it’s a great way to compromise. However, he tells her that is not a good idea and that he realized he isn’t in love with her the way she loves him. He tells her they should focus on being good parents instead. Jane is shocked and hurt. She leaves as we see the images of her past selves leave too.

The narrator focuses on why Rafael acted that way and we see that Rafael had gone to see the therapist in the morning. He was concerned that because of the dark place he was in, that he would bring Jane down with him. He admits he would have had sex with her if the security guard did not interrupt. Rafael needs to focus on the baby and not bring her down and he has to get through the feelings she has about love. Despite feeling like he did what he had to do, it doesn’t make things easier.

Xiomara decides to tell Rogelio about the kiss with Marco during the photoshoot. However, because it was she who kissed her ex, he is definitely upset and declares they are over.

Jane goes to leave the hotel when Michael stops her. He asks why she didn’t tell him that she knew about Andie. Jane apologizes and tells him that she thought he was happy and didn’t want to ruin it. He notices she looks upset and she tells him about the break up. He asks how she is and she admits she is okay (and we see she has finally accepted it). Michael asks if she needs a ride but her grandmother has arrived. As Jane leaves, Michael texts Andie to tell her he can’t forgive her and that they are finished.

Jane gets into the car and Alba happens to see Petra and her mother. As she looks at them, she gets a flashback to the day she was pushed down the stairs. She tells Jane she believes that is who pushed her.
