'Jane The Virgin' recap- 'Chapter Forty-Two'

This week’s Jane The Virgin saw Jane planning the traditional Villanueva Mother’s Day that her family had been doing since the first year Xo had celebrated being a mom. On that day, they would sit on the couch with ice cream and watch a telenovela. The previous Mother’s Day, Jane was still pregnant so this is her first official mother’s day.

However, the plan was interrupted when Petra extended a brunch invitation to the women to celebrate the day together so Rafael could be with all his kids at the same time. Even though her mom and grandmother were against it, Jane accepted the invitation.

While this was going on, Rogelio was preparing to work with his rival, Esteban, on a crossover episode with his own show as well.

Back at the hotel, Jane received strange messages on her phone and found out about the ad that was supposedly written by her. Horrified when she realized her advisor, Professor Blake had called, Jane went to work things out but he was ready to take away her TA position since drama always seemed to follow her. Professor Donaldson was quick to try and smooth things over, making Jane hope she had an ally.

Rogelio was spending another day with Dina when he saw her phone and a message about a birthday party she wasn’t inviting him to.

To find out who had placed the ad, Jane contacted the school newspaper and got the e-mail address that had been used so she could send a message as the school asking if she wanted another ad run.

Meanwhile, Rafael and Petra were with Derek going over the plans for the Fairwick and after Derek left, Rafael reminded Petra the brunch wouldn’t work since the twins napped at 11. Petra said she would reschedule.

At work, Jane got the reply from the person with the e-mail address and was confused by the wording. She got wind that Petra had to change the time of the brunch and then she heard Anezka use the same phrase from the e-mail. Jane was angered to realize Anezka sent the e-mail.

Jane went to Petra to explain the situation with Anezka and Petra agreed to talk to her sister.

Rogelio really wanted to go to Dina’s party, even though she told him that he didn’t have the same interests as his friend. So he went to Jane for advice on how to appear smarter. Jane was concerned her mom might be sad over Rogelio and Dina, but she assured her daughter she was fine.

Petra went to her sister and she admitted what she did, but then said it was hinted for her to do this. Surprised, Petra said she didn’t want that and then Anezka said that Jane claimed she was a bad mother. Unhappy with this news, Petra asked for more details.

Rogelio got a complete script from Jane over what to do at the birthday party and then he asked how Michael was enjoying his work as security. Jane didn’t admit it, but Michael did find it less exciting than being a cop.

Meanwhile, Rafael was shocked to find out that Derek wanted to take the Fairwick from him and he was willing to blackmail him over the insider trading that occurred. While still reeling from this news, Rafael saw Jane when she dropped Mateo off, but he didn’t say what was bothering him.

Michael was at work and was excited to find out that Rogelio wanted him to be a technical advisor for the show.

At the hotel, Jane got a call from Petra and they ended up in a huge fight over what Anezka overheard Jane say, which was only that Petra wasn’t as hands on with the twins. Petra decided to side with her sister and claim that she never sent the ad, infuriating Jane even further.

At work, Jane took her anger out on Anezka, who could only start crying. While Anezka cried to Petra, Jane vented to Alba. Petra told her sister to keep things civil that she should give Jane some space.

Michael got information on a fighting scene for Rogelio, but he was very detail specific and accurate, even though it didn’t have to be exact for the scene. Rogelio understood that he had just gotten very excited about doing some research and more work for the show.

Jane was about to get Mateo ready for bed when her dad texted asking for help at the dinner party. At first Jane wasn’t sure, but Xo told her to go since she could go to the studio and they wouldn’t be there.

Arriving at the party, the plan was for Jane to text her dad things to help him be smarter, although Dina wasn’t very pleased that he invited his daughter without her knowing.

Meanwhile at the studio, Xo was having a hard time with a high note so Esteban came in to help her.

Even though Jane did her best to help her dad, things didn’t go well. He later told Dina that he just wanted to impress her friends, which she admitted was sweet. After talking to her, Rogelio noticed Jane was leaving. She told her dad that she wasn’t quite ready to see him with anyone else who wasn’t her mom and he understood.

Everyone went to the brunch the next day, but things were very awkward since things such as the Fairwick and the possibility of Father’s Day awkwardness. Rafael and Jane had a quiet moment alone, in which he admitted to her what he had done. Hearing Mateo cry, Jane went inside and told Michael what happened as she changed the baby. Petra overheard the conversation and didn’t say anything as she mentioned Rogelio wanted them in the other room.

Rogelio and Jane’s family had made a video praising her first year as a mother, making Jane cry. But things were awkward since Petra didn’t have anything like that so Anezka toasted her sister.

As the lunch came to an end, Petra and Jane were saying goodbye, but then things got heated when Jane angrily told Anezka to fess up. While still arguing, Anezka collapsed due to a seizure.

At the hospital, Petra and Jane were making amends when a nurse brought Anezka out. Anezka admitted she did place the ad and Petra covered for her. Angry once again, Jane told them she wanted that confession in an e-mail and left.

While at work, Michael watched a scene involving Esteban and Rogelio watching who they think is Columbus on a boat. But as he is watching, Michael gets an idea and makes a call to Suzanna at the police department, saying he had an idea.

In a surprising move, we later saw that Anezka pretended to be Petra while speaking with the night nurses for the twins.

Jane was able to send the e-mail to Professor Blake, but he was still standing firm in not giving her the job back for the next year. After telling her mom on the phone and praising her for dealing with Rogelio and Dina being together, we saw Xo had slept with Esteban.

In Rafael’s office, Petra told him not to go to Jane when it came to financial things like what he did and that they would deal with things together.

Unbeknownst to them all, Derek was on a different boat other than his with his mother, Mutter.
