An 11-year-old Jane fell in love with Salsa while at Calle Ocho with Abuela and Xiomara. It was the romance and fantasy of the two salsa dancers that made it seem as though they were in love. Later, Jane saw the churro guy making out with the hot, Latina salsa dancer, whom she thought was in love with the other dancer. The fantasy cracked a little, just like the fantasy of her present day romance.
Things are awkward between Jane and Rafael. He’s preoccupied with work all the time and setting up for the big Calle Ocho show. Jane has noticed the distance between them and mentions it to Rafael. But, he blames it on work. Jane takes to writing her romance novel to get her mind off of things between them. She doesn’t get far with her story because she’s got a bad case of writer’s block. All she can think about is what’s happening between her and Rafael.
Rogelio and Xiomara have been house hunting and have finally found their dream home. Rogelio is happy because the square footage is over 5200, which is a bigger home than his arch nemesis. While looking at the floor plans of their future home, Rogelio gets a notification that he’s losing Twitter followers due to a gif going around of him holding a space gun wrong.
Petra finds a way to get a musician for the Marbella’s Calle Ocho show via Rogelio’s Twitter friendship with a famous singer, David Bisbal. Rafael finds it strange that she’s following Jane’s dad. Since we’re on the subject of exes, Michael bumps into Jane in the hotel. They chat for a bit and he gives Jane a flyer for a writing workshop. It was exactly what Jane was looking for and needed at the moment. She took it as a sign. In the midst of their conversation, Rogelio seeks out Michael to shadow him in order to gain authenticity for his character of being a space cop. Michael agrees but isn’t thrilled about it. Rogelio, on the other hand, is elated.
Jane attends the writer’s workshop, by Amanda Elaine (played by Jane Seymour), another one of Jane’s favorite romance novelists. They use terms like “thrusts” in the romance workshop. Wendy, reads a story she wrote and afterwards, everyone in the class writes a compliment card on the story. Jane thought it was supposed to be an actual critique on the story, but it turns out the cards are supposed to be all positive feedback. Jane writes what she actually thought about the story and sends the writer into a hysterical crying fit. Amanda scolds Jane, saying they are “builder uppers” and Jane is a “tearer downer.” Jane makes reference to a novel Amanda wrote. Amanda is surprised that Jane read the novel. Jane begs for a second chance.
Aaron Zazo is determined to do what he can to find Roman’s killer. He tells Michael about the USB he found in the pendant, which apparently has an insurance policy for Roman. Michael has Nadine run a check on the USB but nothing of importance comes up except for the name Tony Vaughn. They decide to check the guy out.
Rafael meets with Rogelio to ask if Rogelio can get David Bisbal to sing at the hotel for Calle Ocho. Rogelio wants an apology from Rafael since he didn’t ask for Rogelio’s permission to propose to Jane. But, Rogelio being Rogelio, he puts that aside and agrees to speak with Davida Bisbal. Before leaving, Rogelio tells Rafael he needs to ask for his permission first the next time he asks Jane to marry him.
Jane goes home and writes an apology for Wendy, focusing on the good of her story. This leads to Jane focusing on the good between her and Rafael. Xiomara interrupts Jane. She sorting all of the clothes she’s taking with her in the move. Jane finds that Xiomara is taking a lot of her things and in the midst of Jane reclaiming her clothes, Abuela walks in on them. She asks what Xiomara is doing. She reminds Abuela that she’s moving in Rogelio.
A week earlier she told Abuela that she was moving in with Rogelio, and Abuela was totally fine with it. But, this time Abuela is fuming. She thought Xiomara was kidding about them moving in together. They get into a heated argument, with Jane trying to be the calm in the middle of the storm. Abuela storms off after telling Xiomara that she’ll come crawling back after one month.
The next morning Jane makes it a point to make things better with everyone. She gives Wendy her apology of all the good things she found in the story. Turns out, the story was about Wendy’s own marriage, which has no romance or passion. That’s why she took it to heart when she read Jane’s comments. Jane offers a suite for Wendy and her husband at the Marbella, to try and bring that romance back into their marriage. After the workshop, Amanda asks Jane if she’d like to share her work next session. Jane declines. Amanda makes reference that the problem isn’t where you think it is, it’s further back. Which, of course is a reference to Jane’s personal life as well.
David Bisbal arrives at the Marbella for a few seconds to say he’ll be back after attending Calle Ocho. He leaves behind his dog, Diablo, which Rafael and Petra are forced to take care of. Diablo won’t stop barking. Rafael gets called away and Petra is forced to watch the Diablo alone.
Jane is in Rafael’s suite with a candle lit dinner and blasting Bon Jovi‘s “Living on a Prayer,” since it is Rafael’s favorite song. In enters Petra, with the dog. Things get awkward. She was only there to grab the dog bag. Later, Rafael shows up but says he can’t stay. They finally get into a conversation over their relationship and Jane tells him to stop putting it all on her. She tells Rafael that he is impulsive, and they were finally getting to know each other and enjoy their relationship. Jane finally feels unblocked after getting that off of her chest.
Petra and Rafael are having a heart to heart when the Diablo runs out of the room and into and elevator. They get there too late. Petra finds Diablo just in time for David’s assistant to pick up the dog. Turns out Diablo wasn’t David’s dog at all-it was the assistant’s dog. She knew they’d take better care of the dog if they thought it was David’s.
Michael and Rogelio are keeping a watch on Tony Vaughn at his mother’s house. They bond over Jim Carrey impressions. The conversation then turns to Jane. Michael asks if Jane is really happy. Rogelio makes mention of Jane declining Rafael’s proposal. Michael is shocked. He tries to ask more about the proposal, but Tony Vaughn is seen leaving the house.
They follow Tony Vaughn to Calle Ocho. Jane and Xiomara are at Calle Ocho as well, but no Abuela. Jane runs into Andie, the other new girl from her romance writing workshop. Michael and the other cops find and capture Tony Vaughn. Jane looks around for Rafael, but of course he’s back at the hotel searching for Diablo.
Tony Vaughn has no information on Sin Rostro. Michael gets off the phone with Nadine, after telling her to nail him on drug charges to see if he’ll speak. He runs into Andie and there’s something emotional about their interaction. Andie mentions that it’s been three years since they last saw each other. Turns out, Andie is Michael’s ex. The encounter seems to bring up a spark between the two. Possible love connection again?
Rafael finds Jane writing at the hotel. He agrees that Jane was right. Rafael explains that he’s always wanted a family and he wanted to lock it down and make sure she wouldn’t leave him. He mentions that he’s never looked for his mother. He just took his dad’s word that she didn’t want to be found. “She probably had a good reason for leaving,” Jane mentions. But, he’ll never know unless he looks for her. So, they head back to Rafael’s suite. He sits in front of a computer screen while Jane stands by his side. Rafael, finally ready, types his mother’s name into the search engine: Elena Di Nola. As a forewarning to us viewers, the narrator states, “In reality, you should never search for something you are not prepared to find.” I wonder what drama will come along with finding Rafael’s mother.
