'Jane The Virgin' recap- 'Chapter Twenty'

Jane The Virgin began with young Jane growing up watching telenovelas and learning about the concept of amnesia and recovering lost memories. Back in the present, she is in the car with Alba as she remembers what happened when Magda pushed her. She tells Jane that she saw a man in the room (Ivan) yelling for help and had gone to the stairwell. When she was pushed, Alba got a glimpse of Magda. Jane hears this and immediately says they should call the police.

Jane tries to convince Alba they need to go to the police, but she wants to put the whole incident behind her. When they hear Xiomara pulling up, Alba warns her not to say anything. When Xiomara comes in, she is obviously upset and tells them about the break up. Jane tells her about Rafael breaking up with her and Alba gives them both grilled cheese as comfort food.

Meanwhile, Magda makes comfort food for Petra, who tells her she just didn’t want to be alone and that she did not forgive Magda for lying about her paralysis. Maga wants her daughter to let her prove that she is sorry.

Rogelio is on the phone with Xiomara telling her he does not want to get back together and points out he stayed for her and is doing the “ridiculous job.” Apparently he is now a detective with only a head on the show. He hears a knock on the door and opens it to see Dina, the head writer from The Passions of Santos, holding cupcakes with his face on them.

She tells him the ratings have plummeted since he left and he claims to not know (his Twitter says otherwise) while she tells him they want him back. He points out that his death scene was listed as one of the best in an article ranking and she mentions a storyline that includes him coming back in a wet t-shirt. He offers to think about it and when he closes the door, Rogelio proclaims, “Santos is back baby!”

Jane has an appointment to check the baby and Rafael joins her, even though it is only a day after their break up. Jane is still very upset and doesn’t want to listen as he tries to apologize for hurting her. They find out the baby is doing well, but is in a breech position, which Rafael doesn’t get. Jane isn’t thrilled, since she told him to read up on it three different times. The doctor checks her two weeks later and this time, Rafael has read about what happens if a baby is breech. The baby still has similar measurements, but is still breech. After the doctor leaves once she gives Jane tips on turning the baby, Rafael asks if he can help. She tells him he can’t do much, but he will be able to help when the baby is born (she is in the 80th percentile of trying to co-parent).

Jane goes home and does an elephant walk in order to try and turn the baby, much to Xiomara’s annoyance since she needs to talk to her. Xiomara is still upset Rogelio won’t return her calls and even blocked her Twitter account. She asks Jane to talk to him since there isn’t much else she can do.

Meanwhile, Petra talks to Rafael about doing a time-share for the hotel in order to try and rebrand it to make money. Rafael isn’t happy about this decision and then someone chimes in to offer assistance. They look over to see it is Luisa, Rafael’s sister. They are stunned to see her and Rafael tells her the police have been searching for her. She tells them that she left them a message and informs them she did not run away with Rose. Luisa had gone to see her Ashram in Peru to get over Rose and now has a new girlfriend, Juicy Jordan, a pro wrestler. They had heard the hotel was in trouble and she came back to help figure out whether to do a time share or a new loan, as well as to take back her time shares.

As this goes on, Jane is working when she sees Magda working for the kitchen. She immediately accuses her of pushing Alba and Magda denies it. Later, Jane sees Petra and tells her about what Magda did, but Petra has no clue what she is talking about.

Back at home, Jane tells Alba she saw Magda and when Xiomara comes in, Alba tells her what happened. Xiomara is angry and wants Magda in jail but Alba is worried about going to the police since she is undocumented. Xiomara suggests they go to Michael and she tells Jane about how he made the immigration situation go away when Alba was in the hospital. She is shocked to find out he had asked Xiomara not to say anything so that Jane wouldn’t think it was an attempt to win her back.

Jane goes to see Michael and immediately hugs him as she thanks him for saving Alba. He is surprised that she found out and Jane tells him they need his help. At the hotel, Petra tells Magda the police want to talk to them and she asks her mother if she was involved in what happened on the stairs. Magda denies it, but then says she may have if Alba found out about the hostage. Petra is horrified.

Alba is giving confession about asking a priest out on a date, and it turns out the priest listening is Edward, the one she asked out! He tells her to see it as a friendship date and then asks her to lunch.

Petra and Rafael go to see Luisa. Petra is holding a book called Spirituality and Colonics, clearly trying to get Luisa on her side. However, Rafael has a trick up his sleeve and brought Luisa their favorite sweets from childhood. They go inside and Luisa tells them she is still trying to decide on whose proposal to go with, but that she and Juicy have an idea to get cash from doing a professional wrestling match at the Marbella.

Juicy Jordan will go against her nemesis, Candy Crunch. They both grin and say the idea is good, but then outside, they can’t agree on who should tell Luisa they don’t like the idea at all. Neither of them refuse to back down (it is The Cold Warrior against the Hot-Elier) and finally relent on having to do the wrestling match.

Jane goes to see her father as he films a scene for his return to his former show. He is happy to see her, until she brings up her mother. While Jane tries to tell her dad that Xiomara is sorry, he tells her that he has been hurt in the past when his first wife kissed someone then later was photographed by paparazzi having an affair. It was very humiliating for him.

Xiomara sees the tabloid photo on Jane’s laptop and tells her daughter the situations are not the same. While Jane feels that Rogelio should talk to her, she also reminds Xiomara she shouldn’t have kissed her ex. Jane is interrupted by a text from Rafael asking if the baby was no longer breech (she is in the 91st percentile of trying to co-parent.) Xiomara asks how Jane is able to move on and Jane tells her that she has closure whereas Xiomara doesn’t. Xiomara hears music and Jane shows her that her iPod is in her pants to make music and get the baby to move. Xiomara wants to be able to get in the same room with Rogelio to talk.

Michael interviews both Petra and Magda, who claim that they were together in the hotel room when Alba came by and neither knew what happened afterwards. They also claim the man’s voice Alba heard belonged to the television.

Michael talks to Jane on the phone, who knows that Petra and Magda are lying. They meet up at the hotel and he assures her they will try to find out what is going on. He sees the poster for the wrestling match and Michael asks about it. He finds out that Jane and Rafael broke up and he tells her he is sorry. She wonders if he is and he tells her yes since she is having his baby. Michael tells her to go to work and to stay away from Magda. She leaves and he turns to see Rafael. They look at each other quietly as a sign shows up showing Detective Danger vs the Hot-elier.

Unfortunately, Jane is unable to avoid Magda, who brings up talking to Michael the day before. When she claims Alba was “confused,” Jane confronts her. But then Magda ups the ante by saying she looked Alba up, but found nothing on her and wonders if she is in the United States legally. Jane fumes when she realizes what this means.

The wrestling match begins and Rafael is watching when Jane comes to tell him about what happened to her grandmother. He is shocked to hear what happened and then Petra shows up. Jane has an angry confrontation with her, in which Petra denies her mother is involved. A screen shows up showing a match between the Cold Warrior and the Pregnant Punisher. Jane imagines beating Petra in a wrestling match before telling Petra she wants both her and Magda gone. Jane leaves and Rafael tells Petra Alba wouldn’t make up a lie like that. Petra agrees, but points out that she is old and she had been drunk while also having a head injury.

Petra tells Rafael she is not going to fire Magda to make his girlfriend feel better. He reveals they broke up and Petra’s interest is piqued. Rafael points out that she is having his baby and he doesn’t want Magda stressing her out anymore.

Jane is watching them talk when Rogelio gets her attention about pulling a Parent Trap on him. She just wanted them to talk and not to put her in the middle. A screen pops up showing a match between Mommy Long Legs and De La Vengeabce before Xiomara asks for another chance. Rogelio says no and is interrupted by a fan taking a picture of him. This causes Jane to get an idea.

Jane gets on the laptop to look for a picture of Petra at the after party where her grandmother had been pushed. However, she is unable to find the photo she is looking for, but then in one shot, she sees Petra’s room in the background. An unidentified male can be seen in the window. Jane calls Michael with the good news.

Michael confronts Petra with the photo of the man in her hotel room. She says it was a plumber she had called since Rafael had cut off her utilities. He tells Petra he needs the records to verify who the man is. Petra says she will search for them and Michael assures her he will investigate as well.

Jane, Xiomara, and Alba are building the baby’s crib in the living room when Rafael calls Jane to let her know he is working to get Magda out of the hotel. When he ends the call, Jane hopes he will say “I love you,” but he doesn’t, even though in his heart he did.

Luisa meets up with Rafael to talk about the wrestling match doing well. She thinks they could do it again, but a frustrated Rafael tells her he is not doing that and they are only agreeing with her in order to sway her vote. Luisa is glad they are being honest, finally, and he tells her so much has been happening. She tells him to talk to her like he had before everything happened (the insemination.) Rafael lets it all out and even shows her the letter from his father to his mother. His dad knew he could be successful and Rafael wanted to prove it. At the end, Luisa tells him he shouldn’t have given up Jane.

Jane is trying another method to turn the baby involving the burning of moxa. She does this at her feet alone, which ends up causing a small fire when she falls asleep.

Rafael tells Luisa that the hotel will be the baby’s legacy and that he wants it to be successful. However, Luisa wonders if he will be happy being alone and he thinks Jane may be there when it is all done. Luisa tells him no one waits forever.

Alba comes to Jane’s room and sees the fire at Jane’s feet. She puts out the fire with a pillow as she wakes Jane up. Alba is upset that Jane didn’t come to her for help and a frustrated Jane tells her grandmother she will have to be a single mother anyway and was trying to prove she could do things herself. She begins crying as Alba holds her.

Later that night, Jane is asleep when she feels the baby turning. She is relieved and gives her stomach a fist bump.

Michael is interviewing Ivan, but he is not happy when the man backs up Petra’s claim that he is a plumber. When Michael asks for an employer, Ivan says he is self-employed.

In the car, Petra thanks Ivan for covering, which he had done so Milos wouldn’t kill him, despite his own wish Petra and Magda were in jail. Milos apparently had gotten him to cover for Petra. Ivan asks if he can go so he can watch The Passions of Santos.

Xiomara goes to see Rogelio to let him know she understands they are over and she will back off so he can come see Jane. Rogelio is okay with this, but he doesn’t look happy when she leaves.

Michael apologizes to Jane for not being able to get Ivan. Jane knows he has something to hide and she is feeling frustrated. Michael tells her with everything going on, with Luisa coming back and Magda around, he wants her to stay away from them. She assures him she will and tells Michael she will call Alba.

Alba is having lunch with Edward, her friend from physical therapy. He apologizes that she wasn’t able to get what she needed and takes her hand. She tells him that had it not been for the accident, she never would have met him. Edward reveals he isn’t sure they could just be friends.

Petra goes to tell Rafael that she will go with his loan decision since she knows they should compromise for the sake of the hotel. Then she shows him documents showing that her mother had surgery a month earlier and she wasn’t able to walk at the time of the accident, so she didn’t push Alba.

Magda is shocked when her daughter tells her she is fired. Petra informs her she is in love with Rafael and wants to use the chance to get him back.

Rafael goes to see Jane to ask about the baby turning. She lets him know the baby turned the night before and she also finds out that Magda is leaving. When Jane asks about Petra leaving, Rafael tells her that she owns part of the Marbella and Jane points out she is an accomplice in her grandmother’s attempted murder. Rafael tells her there are two sides to the story and that Magda couldn’t walk. Jane is sure she was faking her injury and she doesn’t want the baby around Petra. Rafael tells her that he lives there and the baby will be there. Jane decides she’s had enough and quits.

At home, Jane tells Xiomara and Alba that being around Rafael isn’t best for the baby. She wants to call a lawyer and ask for full custody of her child.
