“Chapter Three” began with a flashback of a younger Jane catching a firefly and making two wishes: 1) To grow boobs. 2) For someone to want to touch them. Flash forward a bit to a 16-year-old Jane and her boyfriend. Her boobs are finally going to be touched when she drops a bomb on him that she’s “saving herself for marriage.” Way to put a damper on the perfect boob touching moment. Upset about her boyfriend breaking up with her over the whole “no sex before marriage” thing, Abuela teaches her the importance of telling the truth. Because even the littlest of lies can spiral into “big balls of evil.” Latino parenting at its best: instill a huge amount of fear and guilt into the child so they will never do anything wrong.
Jane decides that since she is already pregnant, why bother waiting to have sex anymore? She tells Michael the glorious news. It’s as though Christmas came early for him. He suggests the back seat, since they’re already in the car, but she wants something more romantical. For instance, a suite at the hotel in which she works. The same hotel that Rafael owns. The same Rafael that Jane is now kinda, sorta catching feelings for. That’s right. Jane is catching some sort of feelings for her baby daddy. Her heart beats faster whenever she’s around him. It’s making her reconsider the whole sex thing with Michael.
Back in Rafael and Petra’s room, they are talking about Zazo’s death. Here we find out that Zazo was Rafael’s roommate back in college. Rafael talks about notifying Zazo’s brother about the death but can’t even remember his name. Petra claims that she didn’t even know Zazo had a brother. It’s in this moment that she realizes her necklace is missing. The very same necklace she was wearing in Zazo’s room the night she tried to end things with him but instead he choked her and her necklace came undone. Now she has to get it back or she’ll become a suspect.
While at work, Jane walks over to take a table’s order. Turns out the table just so happens to include Luisa, the very same doctor whom Jane is suing for accidentally impregnating her, Rose, and Luisa’s father, Mr. Solano. Awkward turtle! Jane decides that it’s probably not a good idea to wait on them so she goes off to find another waiter for their table. Mr. Solano steps away from the table for a moment and Luisa tells Rose to leave her father and run away with her. Rose claims that what happened between them won’t ever happen again. Mmm hmm. That’s what they all say.
After finding another waiter for their table, Jane goes off and gets a hotel suite on the same floor as Zazo’s room, since the police have closed off the entire floor for investigation. While checking out the room, Jane notices Petra lurking outside of Zazo’s room while the police are inside. Petra pops a pill. Michael comes around the corner and he and Petra they get into the elevator together. Jane takes the stairs all the way down to catch them both getting out of the elevator together and confronts Michael. He says Petra was speaking with him about hotel security, but we all know that is a lie.
Jane has a weird feeling about Petra and the whole pill popping incident. So, she does what anyone else would do, she sneaks into Petra’s apartment. Jane takes Petra’s dry cleaning to her room when she thinks Petra isn’t there. After a bit of snooping, Jane finds a prescription pill bottle just as Petra pops up behind her. Remembering what Abuela told her years ago about lies, Jane confesses that she saw Petra taking a pill outside of Zazo’s room. Petra claims it’s Xanax, which she got two years ago when Rafael found out he had cancer. This was the third pill she’s taken since then. Jane is still unsure of Petra until she shows Jane the baby’s nursery. And here is where we all shed a tear because it’s oh so sweet.
Back in Zazo’s room, Michael is searching the couch for Petra’s necklace. He finds it and quickly pockets it without anyone noticing. Rafael shows up to ask questions about the investigation, since he has to give a press release about the incident. Michael leaves, refusing to tell Rafael anything, after finding out Petra’s alibi was a lie. She was in a stairwell just before Zazo’s murder but refuses to explain why. Michael’s partner then asks Rafael questions about Zazo and if he knew anything about Zazo’s girlfriend. Rafael is confused because Zazo didn’t have a girlfriend that he knew of.
Later that day, Rogelio shows up at the hotel after promising Xiomara he wouldn’t say anything to Jane until she was able to tell Jane who he really is. He’s so eager to meet Jane, he looks as though he’s going to shout out “Surprise! It’s daddy!” when he sees her. But, he holds back. Instead, it is Jane who is star struck to see the telenovela star in the very same room as her. She asks to take a selfie with him. When Xiomara sees this selfie, she is sure that Rogelio has told Jane he’s her father. Abuela is upset by his actions and pays him a visit on the set of his show. Instead of telling him off, he woos her with Spanish eyes and charming words. He sends her home with a gift basket filled with all things Rogelio, the same gift basket he sent Xiomara the day after they had a night of having enjoying each other’s company. If you know what I mean. The only difference is that they later find a gold bracelet in Xiomara’s basket with an engraving on it: Always and Forever, XO.
Before Jane goes off to lose her virginity, Abuela makes Jane and Xiomara go to church with her that evening. As mass ends, while still in church, Jane blurts out to Abuela that she’s going to have sex with Michael. Back at the house Jane is getting her things together for the big night. Abuela is upset with Jane but Jane is sticking to her plan. As she is leaving, Xiomara ask Jane, “Did you wax? Clean everything up down there?” Ah, Xiomara. I love where your priorities are.
Michael is waiting for Jane in the hotel suite. It’s an awkward moment since Jane ran into Rafael just before and, you know, she got that feeling again. Still wanting to go through with finally losing her virginity, Jane and Michael get down to business. They make their way over to the bed and as soon as they do so, Rafael’s face pops up on the television screen with a pre-recorded hotel message: “Thank you for coming. If it’s your first time, we hope it’s an experience you never forget. Let us fulfill your every need. I’m Rafael Solano, and your pleasure is my pleasure.” Talk about a panty drying moment!
While Michael and Jane are having a rough time getting into the moment, over in another hotel suite Luisa and Rose are having no problems getting it on. Luisa claims she wasn’t expecting Rose to call. “I cannot stay away from you,” was Rose’s response. We all knew Rose still wanted some of that Luisa. They reminisce over a time they had together back in Fort Lauderdale where they ate powdered donuts. Apparently these donuts were magical. So, Luisa leaves to the vending machine to find powdered donuts to recreate that magical time together. As she is purchasing the donuts, she sees her father coming down the hall. She does what any other daughter who is sleeping with her father’s wife would do, and pulls the fire alarm just as he is about to go into the same room that Rose is in. Rose comes out in her robe and is surprised to see Mr. Solano. They both evacuate the hotel with everyone else on the floor. This also puts a stop to Jane and Michael’s big night.
Everyone is waiting outside of the hotel for the OK to go back in. Michael runs off to see what the problem is. Jane has a voice message from Abuela. Abuela tells Jane that she loves her and is okay with Jane having sex with Michael because she knows Jane loves Michael, and he is the man Jane will be with forever. That guilt hits Jane right in the baby oven because she knows that she’s been feeling a certain something for Rafael. And right now, she’s not so certain about what it all means. Jane tells Michael they should wait. Now that she have Michael all excited about sex, he wants to push the marriage up. Which means they’re getting married next week. I know Michael is a bit on the horny side right now, but that is a bit extreme.
After all is calm again at the hotel, Petra asks Rafael if he’s contacted Zazo’s brother, Aaron. The girl just messed it all up for herself! Rafael, remembering from earlier that she claimed to know nothing of Zazo having a brother, tells Petra that the police mentioned something of Zazo having a girlfriend. And, that he’s determined to find out who this mystery woman is. Queue the shocking look on Petra’s face, and… end scene.
Instead of staying the night at the hotel with Michael, Jane goes back home. She arrives to Xiomara and Abuela sitting outside on the porch. Jane tells them she’s still a virgin. Of course, Abuela is happy about that. A not so thrilled Jane explains that instead she and Michael have moved the wedding up to next week. Xiomara and Abuela are more excited about this than Jane. Just as Jane is about to head inside a fire fly buzzes right over to her. She catches it. And, just like she did when she was younger, she makes a wish on it. She wishes to wake up the next day with no feelings for Rafael.
