How Can Rafael Actually Be Surprised That Jane Has Been Thinking About Seeking Primary Custody Of The Baby?

What is the point of a five-year high school reunion?

Full disclosure: I went to a high school that had no spirit; if it's ever even thrown a reunion, I've never heard of it -- and it's been...more than five years since I graduated -- so my only experience of reunions of any year increment is pretty much just from stories that real-life people have told me, and that pretend ones have played out for my entertainment. It's only because of the former that I can even confirm five-year reunions are an actual thing, though I have to imagine they're rapidly going extinct: in the age of social media, you already know exactly what everyone has been doing every day of the past five years (and by the way: I see you coming up with a contrived reason for Stephanie to have quit Instagram, Jane The Virgin writers who came of age in the pre-social media era when people might really not know what fates had befallen their foes!), besides which, probably half of them have been doing the same thing: completing their post-secondary education. Putting Jane in a situation where she has to defend her life choices to people who best remember her as a grade-grubbing nerd makes sense, but with five-year reunions becoming more pointless by the day, wouldn't it have felt less strained if Jane and Stephanie had just run into each other at the mall?

We all agree Luisa is careening back into the arms of Sin Rostro, right?

I'm sure part of the reason to show her PDA-intensive interactions with Juicy at the top of the episode are to remind latecomers that Luisa's gay; I also get that, having broken up with Jane, Rafael needed some character to be his confidante since he apparently has no friends who haven't either screwed him over in the past or are planning to do so in the future. But this is a telenovela, and I feel like there's no reason for a tertiary character to be happy and suddenly functional except as a setup for all that to collapse -- specifically, when Rose/Sin Rostro inevitably returns in the season finale, convinces Luisa to take her back, and probably also gains control of the hotel from Rafael somehow while she's at it. I mean, it's very nice that Rafael ends the episode deciding he has to prioritize Jane's delivery ahead of attending this big meeting in Spain, but doesn't that just guarantee that some calamity's going to happen when he's not paying attention?

How can Rafael actually be surprised that Jane has been thinking about seeking primary custody of the baby?

After last week's spat, not even Rafael could be so obtuse as not to have guessed that Jane would seek to safeguard her baby from threats she perceives at the hotel -- whether he believes them or not. That said, I give the show credit for not taking this plotline where I thought it would: Rafael easily could have gone instantly on the defensive and forced a formal confrontation (that Jane and her family could probably ill afford), so Jane's lucky that he still secretly loves her and has decided to go with "bending over backwards to accommodate her" as his move instead.

Where is this Michael business going?

For the record, I still don't care about Sin Rostro in general or Nadine's involvement with same in particular. But this is one guilty, conflicted face.

Is Jane going to come to the realization that she wants to try things again with Michael just in time for him to turn himself in for his part in covering up Nadine's crimes, whatever they were? Or is Nadine going to turn out to be more than just an unwilling pawn forced into the Sin Rostro operation?

Are leprechauns real?

I want to say no, but it's hard to argue Rogelio's conviction!
