Jane The Virgin began last night with a flashback of a young Alba preparing for Xiomara’s baptism with her husband, Mateo. She is feeling homesick and he reminds her about the life they wanted to give for their baby daughter. He tells her to make a new tradition for their family. Alba writes down a loving note to read to her baby girl that she gives to Xiomara for Jane’s baptism. A young Xiomara is not in the mood for the baptism, but when she reads her mother’s letter, she is touched.
In the present, Jane is preparing for Mateo’s baptism. Lina, her best friend, is confirmed to be her godmother, and awkwardly, Rafael had asked Michael to be the godfather after saving Mateo during the kidnapping. Jane isn’t sure he’ll still want that after having found out she loved both of them, but she wants him to be the baby’s godfather. Jane gives Rafael a call, who is distracted at a doctor’s appointment with Petra to find out if she is pregnant.
On the phone, Jane asks Rafael about Michael being the godfather and while distracted, he agrees as the doctor tells him Petra is, in fact, having a baby. Jane tells her mom and Xiomara that Michael is the godfather.
Petra tells Rafael her original plan had been to seduce him and say the pregnancy occurred because of that, but the clinic ruined her plans. She tells him about what Luisa said and he reveals he had been playing her the whole time so he could get her out of his life and move forward with Jane.
Jane is with baby Mateo at a mommy’s group and trying to get him to blink. The teacher tells her to talk to the baby, as it will help his language development. Jane processes this and begins telling Mateo every single thing she is doing.
Rogelio has been showing slides from Cuba to Xiomara and Alba for two hours when he gets a call about a casting issue at the telenovela. He has to go and talk to Dina to take care of it. He tells the women to finish the slideshow but as soon as he leaves, the relieved mother and daughter go to turn it off.
Rogelio sees Michael as he is leaving, who came to the house to apologize to Jane for how he acted when he told her how he felt. However, Rogelio gives Michael some bad advice about being a macho man since he overheard Jane say it was sexy. He tells Michael not to be a wuss and gives him a book, or a diary, so he can write down his thoughts.
As they are talking, Jane comes home with Mateo, telling him every single thing she is doing. She asks why Michael is there and he reveals that he is working on the Sin Rostro case and is working on getting a visitor’s log from the vineyard Rose visited.
After Michael leaves, Jane goes inside and picks up Mateo before checking the mail. She sees a letter from the Graduate school and finds out she was accepted. While holding her baby, she begins doing a happy dance.
Later, Jane and Rafael meet to go to the rehearsal for the baptism. Rafael is distracted as Jane tells him about graduate school. She wonders about Luisa since she didn’t send in an RSVP, but Rafael hasn’t heard from her. Meanwhile, Luisa is being held in a room and is tied up to a chair.
When Rafael sees Michael with Lina, he is confused. Jane reminds him about the call, and a resigned Rafael realizes he wasn’t listening and deals with Michael being the godfather. Jane knows something is wrong and tells him to clue her in. Rafael then stuns her with the news of Petra’s pregnancy.
At the rehearsal, Jane is distracted as she imagines Petra and her mother sitting in the pew with a baby. She asks Rafael what happened and he tells her their deception in making Petra think Rafael wanted her worked too well. Michael is there with his book Rogelio gave him and Lina wants to read it, but he won’t let her. When he sees Jane, he can tell she is upset, but when she doesn’t open up, instead of comforting her, he tells her to “take care,” which leaves Jane feeling confused.
Jane tells Xiomara and Alba about the pregnancy and how Petra inseminated herself. She gets a call and is crushed to find out that instead of going to graduate school in three months, she needs to take a World Lit class starting the next day in order to have all her prerequisites. She wasn’t prepared to leave Mateo just yet. Xiomara reminds Jane about the promise she had made to make sure Jane didn’t let motherhood keep her from her goals.
Rogelio really wants the original actress he was supposed to do a love scene with, but Dina tells him she was injured in a horrible accident. He suggests different women who can replace her, but Dina tells him the best person is Luciana, his ex-wife.
He tells Xiomara what happened and she encourages him to screen test with her. She thinks this will help him get over her since he can’t even say her name and it will help them to move forward. Rogelio agrees and then mentions needing to clean out a Luciana storage locker. Xiomara is confused until he shows her an actual storage locker with all her things.
Jane goes to see Professor Blake and requests to bring Mateo to class. She assures him he will sleep through everything and that no one will know he is there. He agrees to let her give it a shot.
Luisa tries to ask her captors what they want with her, but they don’t speak English.
Jane is in class and things seem to be going well until Mateo begins crying. She goes to comfort him, but then when she tries to get something from the stroller, it rolls down the steps inside the classroom.
As Jane goes home on the bus with Mateo, she thinks about the conversation with Professor Blake about the incident in class. He tells her that if she is not ready, she can always reapply to graduate school the next year. Jane is distracted from her thoughts when Rafael texts her, telling her Petra wants to meet up.
Xiomara and Rogelio go through the storage locker, where Rogelio finds a similar diary to the one Michael has. Inside, he finds words he wrote down about how much Luciana had hurt him. Xiomara knows how much she hurt him and maybe now he can heal. Then she tells Rogelio they are burning the diary.
Michael and Jane talk about her issue with graduate school, but instead of offering advice as he normally would, he acts standoffish with her. This continues to leave Jane feeling unsettled.
Petra talks to Rafael and Jane about her “miscommunication” regarding Rafael’s feelings and tells them she has three options. One is to abort the pregnancy, another is to pretend a Russian oligarch is the father, or to stay in Miami where they can all co-parent. Jane is confused about why she is involved and Petra acts as though she thought they were together. However, she had listened closely to Rafael and knows they are still broken up. She tells them to discuss what they should do.
Jane and Rafael discuss what to do, but they are both unsure how to respond to what Petra is saying.
Jane talks to Xiomara and Alba. Xiomara suggests abortion while Alba likes the option of the oligarch. However, Jane doesn’t want Mateo to grow up not knowing he has a sibling somewhere.
Michael talks to a forensic linguist regarding the visitor’s log. He is able to determine that a handwriting sample of Rose’s matches the name on the log reading Denise. He gets a text from Rogelio saying there is an emergency. When he arrives, however, Rogelio is getting a spray tan and tells Michael he needs a tan as well. As Michael tries to avoid looking at Rogelio, he finds out about Petra’s pregnancy and realizes how Jane is feeling inside. When he turns around, he gets sprayed in the face.
Jane is in group with the other moms when she begins crying. She tells them about her graduate school dilemma and they all know how hard it is to decide what to do. The teacher reminds them that it is best to do what is right for you. Jane looks at Mateo and is excited when she sees him blink for the first time.
Rogelio and Xiomara go to the screen test and see Luciana. He goes to do the test and as they do the scene, their reunion is passionate on camera. However, this is too much for Xiomara and she leaves.
Xiomara, Alba, and Jane get ready for Mateo’s baptism. Xiomara gives Jane the letter her mother had given her to read at her baptism. Jane opens it and is touched to read the beautiful words. Once they arrive, everything goes smoothly and Michael and Lina become the godparents. After Mateo is baptized, Jane reads the letter as we see flashbacks of Alba and Xiomara also reading the letters at their own baby’s baptism.
Alba later tells Jane how proud she is of her and Jane tells her mother and grandmother she turned down grad school. When she brings up Mateo blinking, Xiomara confesses he had blinked two days earlier. Jane is shocked to find out she missed his first blink. Xiomara tells her she will miss things, but it is okay because they will be there to catch them. Xiomara missed Jane’s first steps, but Alba got to see it and was happy because she hadn’t seen Xiomara’s first steps. They encourage Jane to go for her dream because they will be there to take care of Mateo. Jane leaves to make a call.
Rafael tries to call Luisa, but is still not getting an answer from her. In captivity, Luisa realizes her captors are not allowed to hurt her and she thinks Rose had her kidnapped.
Jane calls Professor Blake and ends up leaving 12 messages urging him to let her back into the program.
In the other room, Rogelio gets a text from Dina, who needs an answer about Luciana. When Jane gets another standoffish experience with Michael, who tells her he left her a gift in her room, she is feeling annoyed and Rogelio ends up telling her about their plan.
Xiomara is talking to her mother, who begins splashing her with water and telling her not to run when things get difficult.
Jane finds Michael outside and confronts him about how he was acting macho since she thought he knew her better than that. However, Michael stops her and tells her to go see what he left for her. Jane reads the diary and finds out Michael felt horrible about having to act macho with her for three days and he tells her all he wanted to say to her whenever she was having a hard time. He ends by telling her he reacted horribly during her pregnancy reveal and tells her that no matter what, there is a baby coming and to embrace it. She texts him to thank him for the diary, and he responds back denying it is a diary.
Jane talks to Rafael and neither of them like the first two options Petra had. She tells him she wants to make the situation with Petra work.
Rogelio talks to Xiomara, who feels bad about being jealous. He tells her he turned down the offer to work against Luciana.
Rafael talks to Petra and tells her he will help with the baby since he didn’t want her to abort or to move to Russia. When he leaves, Petra does a happy dance.
Michael gets a call from the vineyard in Switzerland. He mentions the name Denise to the owner, who denies knowing anything about her. However, the owner’s wife grabs the phone and mentions someone that the village despises, Heidi von Ochera.
Luisa is trying to get her captors to cater to her, thinking that Rose is still her captor. However, when they begin saying that a photo of Luisa will lead Rose to them, she realizes this isn’t the case and is horrified when one of them clubs her in the knee.
Jane is with Rafael and gets a phone call that she is accepted into grad school. She excitedly hugs him and Rafael ends up kissing her. Petra sees the kiss and snaps a photo.
Finally, Rogelio is doing a take where he is hanging off the side of a cliff when Luciana comes in. She still wants the part and is planning on blackmailing him if he does not choose her. An anguished Rogelio cries out ‘No’ as the scene begins.
Next week is looking pretty spicy! Will Rogelio give in to Luciana? Is Heidi von Ocher an enemy of Rose? Is she Rose? What will Petra do with the photo? We’ll find out next time!
