Jane the Virgin S&S #3: "A hug from Rogelio is like a rabbit's foot. lucky, rare and soft to the touch" ~Rogelio





Jane is a religious young Latina who is a waitress in a hotel in Miami. Her life takes a big turn for the unexpected when her doctor (Dr. Luisa Alver) mistakenly artificially inseminates her during her checkup. Jane's mother Xiomara, who became pregnant with Jane at a very young age, is scared that Jane will be destroying her life by deciding to bring the baby to full term, while Jane's traditional religious Latina grandmother, Alba, encourages Jane to do what she chooses. The biological father is a married man named Rafeal Solao, who is a cancer survivor and a former playboy. He is the new owner of the hotel where Jane works, and was her former teenage crush. Petra, Rafael's amoral and scheming wife, learns of the mistake and plots her own agenda. Petra is also involved in an affair with Roman Zazo, Rafael's best friend, who is under investigation by Jane's police detective boyfriend, Michael, and who also deals with Jane's unexpected condition in his own way. Meanwhile, the doctor who inseminated Jane, Dr. Luisa Alver, who is Rafael's younger sister, is distraught over learning that her wife cheated on hear and left her. Elsewhere, Rogelio de la Vega, a famous TV star and, unbeknownst to her, Jane's biological father, shows up to wanting to make contact with Xiomara, unaware of Jane's existence.

Speaking of that description in the OP, why did I think that Rafael already had joint custody? I thought that had been agreed upon last season?

It is extremely strange to me that Jane would be allowed to pursue sole custody...she doesn't really have any merit for Rafael to not have joint custody privileges?

I think the shipper war has already started rme.

I never really agreed with her reasons for wanting to block rafael from sole custody. Wanting to work to provide for your family is not a crime.

What were Jane's reasons even? That Rafael is rich?


The thing is, I thought they had come to the understanding that they were going to have joint custody. I feel like this is a discrepancy on the writers part tbh, unless I'm forgetting something. Discussing what the last name should be is VERY different than having joint custody.

I hope not. Those things really kill my enjoyment sometimes... #Team kumbaya

Interesting about the custody. I forgot about that issue, since they seem to be on good terms and all.

They did discuss it but I'm guessing he's going to want to make it official with lawyers drawing up papers...etc. And I can see Jane not liking that because she does seem like the type to be all "let's just take each other at our word and not worry about who gets which holiday or how many days a week we each get." And I do think she'd be flexible as long as Rafael didn't interfere too much with what she wanted most.

But from Rafael's point of view, I can see why he's looking for something more formal. He's not the custodial parent right now for understandable reasons but for how long does that continue? Jane has also already threatened to not let their child live/visit Rafael as long as he lived in the hotel where Petra lived. They resolved that but I'm sure it won't be their only parenting conflict. What happens when holidays come around? Knowing Jane, she's not going to want to give up Mateo for any one of them. Most parents don't.

Not doing it officially could make things feel a bit more flexible (although there is always flexibility even with official agreements) while doing it officially can lead to avoiding potential problems in the future.

They're an inevitable consequence of triangles. When people disagree, they're going to disagree. The best we can hope for is to not make it personal or ugly, which I don't think it has been.

Reason #1002 why triangles suck.
