Jane The Virgin returned with a young Jane trying to deal with having to share a small space with both her mom and Alba. Xo is trying to get ready for work and a frustrated Jane ends up blurting out she should find “a real job.” She apologizes, but the words do hurt since Xo can’t just give up what she wants to do.
In the present day, Xo is trying to get Jane to tell her about the steamy dream about Professor Chavez, but Jane refuses to talk. Luckily, Mateo saves the day by crying so Jane can escape. Xo gets a text about a meeting she has that means she won’t be able to watch Mateo for Jane when she has to be somewhere. Jane says she’ll find a sitter when Rogelio arrives.
He has brought three of his stylists to help Xo get ready for her 40th birthday. Of course, he mars the appointment by getting the women’s names wrong and trying to cut a dress when Xo isn’t thrilled about the bottom. When Rogelio hears Jane needs a sitter, he offers to watch him. However, Jane isn’t too thrilled with the idea, but can’t bring herself to say no.
Xo and Rogelio are doing a photo shoot for her birthday and she admits that she is feeling off about being 40 and still just being a dance teacher. He assures her she will have a great birthday.
Rafael and Petra are trying to do damage control when they see Wesley doing a video newscast about the two latest drug dealers, Mutter and Rose. Meanwhile, Jane takes Mateo to Rafael so he can babysit while she meets with Professor Chavez. But during the meeting, as he gives her tips on her writing, Jane is distracted by her crush.
Michael and Susanna are working when Luisa calls Susanna, clearly flirting with her. Michael gets a call from IT, thinking they have something on the chip. However, instead, they had a photo of Elena with a young girl and thanks to photo reconstruction, they figured out that she is Rose and she is Elena’s stepdaughter.
Jane is having a reading in front of her family and Professor Chavez. Things are going well, until she accidentally uses her professor’s name instead of the character’s.
Jane and Xo are baby proofing Rogelio’s home to keep Mateo safe. They discuss whether Jane should go for telling her Professor her feelings, but are interrupted when Xo finds an engagement ring in Rogelio’s room. Xo tries on the ring after Jane admits she heard Liliana give it to Rogelio. But before she can take it off, he comes home, so she has to put her hands behind her back.
Jane is able to get the ring off, but when Rogelio gives a fist bump and she doesn’t wave her hand, she has to reveal they found the ring. He then proceeds to give it to her instead of Xo as a family heirloom.
Rafael breaks the news to Petra that a big wedding is being moved. However, he knows the bride-to-be from his playboy days and suggests charming her. Petra wonders how that is possible and he reminds her he charmed her when she was engaged to Lachlan.
Luisa is with Michael and Susanna and is shocked to discover the family relationship Elena and Rose had, making her relationship with Rose even weirder than before. Then Luisa surprises them when she catches Joey, the chauffer in the background. Apparently he had driven her and Rose in the car when they would go out.
Jane goes to visit Professor Chavez to find out if it is possible he likes her in return. He is looking over her chapter and as they talk, she tries to brush his knee with hers, but he doesn’t appear to notice. He then tells her his mom is a fan of her dad’s and asks if they can visit the set to meet him. Jane agrees.
Petra and Rafael go to meet with Izzie Hillcroft and discover the reason she cancelled the wedding at their venue was because of an incident with Petra five years earlier. She had even done artwork inspired by Petra, one called “The Trophy Wife.”
Still unable to recall what happened, Petra tries to figure out how it could have happened and then assures Rafael she will fix it. In the meantime, Jane hands Mateo over to her father so he can watch the boy. She reminds him about Mateo crawling fast and grabbing things, but he assures her he will be fine.
Jane talks to her mom as she prepares to go to a possible show, but finds out it is not happening since she has cancelled due to family obligations. Then Jane gets a message that her father has been tweeting. However, Rogelio is solely focused on Mateo as he eats cheerios. He tells Mateo about getting a ring set to propose to Xo and even shows the baby the diamond. When Jane calls to find out about the tweets, which had been pre-arranged, Rogelio is distracted and doesn’t see that Mateo may have taken the diamond and swallowed it.
Rogelio rushes Mateo to a doctor, who assures Jane he is fine and should pass the diamond. Once he leaves, Jane is furious with her father over what happened.
Jane talks to her mom about the incident, calling it a button instead of a diamond, and tells her Rafael will watch Mateo during the set visit. Xo is still thinking it could turn into a date with the professor. She gives Jane possible signs to watch out for if he likes her.
At the set, Jane apologizes to Rogelio for her words the night before, but he knows she had meant them. When asked about the diamond, she tells him Mateo hasn’t passed it yet. Jonathan Chavez and his mother arrive on set for the meeting and Jane thinks she sees the signs she was told about.
Petra tells Izzie about an art critic she sent for a review, but it turned out to be a bad review. Rafael wishes she had come to him, but Petra admits that she didn’t want to just be seen as a trophy wife. They reminisce about what he loved most about her, including saving money on fish for their wedding. This gives Petra an idea.
Luisa is in a car with Joey and trying to get him to give Rose a message from her as Michael and Susanna listen in. As this goes on, Jonathan and Jane talk at the set visit. When they leave, Jane misinterprets him leaning in and kisses his shoulder.
Jane tells her mom about what happened and how she quickly left without a word. She decides she’ll have to talk to him about it and goes to the office to apologize. She admits that she projected her own crush on him and asks for them to move on from it.
Petra and Rafael speak to Izzie about giving her a free wedding and she accepts, as long as she can put the statue in the Marbella. They watch as it is brought in and Petra sternly tells two onlookers it is not her representation.
Jane is at home trying to write, but her flow is off because of everything that occurred with Jonathan. In the bathroom, the girls begin getting ready when Xo turns on the water, forgetting Alba is in there. She flashes back to young Jane telling her not to keep cancelling interviews. When she gets a call from Diego to sing, she agrees, but won’t be able to go to her party. She tells Rogelio, but because he had planned to propose, he isn’t happy with it and they argue.
At her gig, Xo does a great job singing as her family watches. Meanwhile, Susanna goes to see Luisa to tell her nothing can happen with them when she still has feelings for Rose with no closure.
Moving to Petra and Rafael, they share a moment before kissing, but Petra pulls away to ask him about if he has gotten over Jane.
Jane talks to Rogelio after Xo sings to apologize again and to give him the diamond that Mateo finally passed. He takes it to propose to Xo, but when he mentions wanting kids, Xo admits she doesn’t want to have anymore.
Later, Xo talks to Jane about what happened and how she was trying to think about herself as her life moved forward. Jane also talks about the decision she made to wait before having sex and wonders if she should make some new decisions. The next day, Jane goes to end her advisor relationship with Professor Chavez, then when he agrees, he stops her to ask her out.
Susanna and Michael get results from the chip and as they see one of the faces, the scene cuts to show Elena with Rose, who has a different look.
