Jane The Virgin returned after a short hiatus to find Jane dealing with not only her engagement party and Michael’s family, but also a new advisor. When the episode began, she was preparing for her engagement party and looking forward to seeing Michael’s parents for the first time since they got back together. Meanwhile, Alba was still concerned about a curse from her old lover, Pablo, and Jane was concerned when she still didn’t hear from her father, who had been tied up by his kidnapper, Lola.
Jane met with a new advisor named Marlene Donaldson, who was very concerned with making sure female characters were not solely focused on men. She was very bland about Jane’s choice of genre writing, leading Jane to work on her story to make sure it met Donaldson’s expectations.
In the hospital, Petra appeared indifferent about taking care of her baby while Rafael held one of the twins. When the nurse told her she was ready to go home with the babies, Petra seemed nervous about the idea.
Jane and Michael got ready for his parents’ visit, but when they arrived, Jane discovered they are no longer happy with her and don’t want her marrying Michael. To give him time to talk to them, she attempted to leave and he went after her. She asked him to remind them about her times with them before leaving.
Petra and Rafael settle in with the newborns, but Petra urged Rafael to go since she has two night nurses. Rafael left and saw his brother Derek, who was very evasive and not talkative toward him. Rafael updated Michael on the situation before a call from Jane interrupted the already awkward conversation. She was calling Michael to ask him to check on Rogelio.
The girls were at the house waiting for Pablo’s arrival, but Alba was in hiding. She told Xiomara and Jane that he was cursed and the night they made love, the entire yard went into frost during summer. Jane tried to tell her weather changes could happen at any moment, but Alba ignored her. When Pablo arrived, the power went out. After lighting candles in the house, Jane got Alba to come see Pablo.
Meanwhile, Michael made it to Rogelio’s, but seeing evidence that Rogelio did not pick up packages he normally would take care of, Michael found a way to sneak in and discover his fiancee’s father was being held at gunpoint just as Lola had prepared to have them commit suicide. Seeing Michael waiting, Rogelio persuaded her to allow them to die in the light outside and when she opened the door leading toward where Michael was hiding, he arrested her.
At the house, Alba and Pablo had a talk, where he asked her on one date. Just as she agreed, Jane got the call from Michael about what happened to her father. She rushed to the apartment with Xiomara to reunite with Rogelio, who appeared to be trying to hold in good spirits with his agent about doing an exclusive interview with a reporter he always wanted to talk to. Jane asked her father what happened, but he appeared unwilling to talk.
Rafael went to see Petra, who had gone back to work right away. She told him she was just picking up her normal activities and he could go see the twins.
Jane was in the middle of changing Mateo and talking about dinner with Michael’s parents when she got an email from her advisor saying “heads up,” which was apparently a warning to let her know that she didn’t like her paper. When Jane went to see her, she found out Donaldson wanted her to find a frame for her work.
Back at his own work, Rogelio was not acting with the same passion as normal and when Jane came to see him, he was still reluctant to talk about what happened when she pressed him.
At dinner, Jane was interrogated about why she dumped Michael and got together with Rafael so quickly. When Mateo is brought up, Michael defends his love for the little boy and Jane before leaving with his fiancée. Jane told her mom and Alba she just wanted her fiance’s parents to like her and Xo comments on her need to be liked by everyone.
Jane later decided to focus on writing her story.
The next day after dropping Mateo off with Rafael and the twins and giving him advice on Petra’s difficulty with motherhood, Jane found out that Michael’s parents were not coming to the engagement party. So she drove all the way to Fort Myers to convince his mother to come. Back at home, Michael thanked Jane since she got his parents to change their mind.
Derek and Rafael had breakfast together where Derek tells Rafael he had no idea his mother was a drug lord, but didn’t say much about why he disappeared. When prompted, Derek asks Rafael to follow him, which is something Michael had told Rafael not to do.
While preparing for the party, Jane got a call from Rogelio’s agent that he needed help. Jane went to see her father, who was getting ready for the interview, but was near tears remembering what happened to him. Jane asked him to practice his story on her and all he can do is tell her how afraid he was to die before she comforts him.
Because she went to help comfort her father, Jane ended up being late to the engagement party, making Michael’s parents upset despite Michael understanding what was happening.
Meanwhile, Rafael got on a boat Derek had and finds out Derek went there to escape from the news about what happened. They end up bonding and having a good time. Later, Rafael called Michael to tell him he believed his brother and was done working with the police.
After Rogelio does the interview, he goes with Jane to the party. There, she dealt with the comments from Michael Sr. and Patricia, who tell her they will only come to the wedding for Michael. Jane, finally done trying to please them, tells them “Noted.” Later, she tells her family she is done trying to make people like her, which she ended up failing at seconds after an email from Donaldson.
Meanwhile, Petra went into the twins’ nursery to see Rafael with them. He told her the night nurses are gone for the night so they could bond with the newborns. Petra, however, was nervous about trying to be a mother, but Rafael had her take Elsa before going to change Anna’s diaper.
Alba and Pablo have their date, where he urges her to ignore the fact their waiter is tripping all over the place. Back at home, Xo and Jane are enjoying their night when they hear a strange noise. While Alba and Pablo dance to a song that played the night they met, Xo and Jane are horrified to see water come crashing down from the ceiling.
