Jane The Virgin Answers The Question: What's The Worst Place To Deflower Someone?

Jane The Virgin's pilot episode did a good job of establishing why the titular character is, in her early twenties, still in her titular state: it's half the dire, flower-crumpling warning of her grandmother, Alba, and half the cautionary tale of her own very young single mother, Xiomara. But now that the event that catalyzed the series has shown Jane that she could do everything right and still end up pregnant by accident, then maybe the moral argument for her virginity is moot?

So Jane announces to Mike that she wants to have sex.

The couple's path to pre-wedding consummation isn't smooth. Jane, who's spent the episode demonstrating her remarkable honesty to just about everyone in her life, decides not to hide her intentions from Alba. (Mike is not so morally upright, hiding the truth about Petra's affair from Jane in order to ensure that Jane doesn't alter her plan to let Petra and Rafael adopt the baby, since Mike doesn't want to be entangled with another man's biological child.) Not even a forced trip to church can stop Jane from pursuing her goal, and before Mike can believe the change in his fortunes, he and Jane are getting into it in a fancy hotel suite.

What Mike doesn't know -- and the one thing Jane isn't being completely honest about -- is that spending more time with Rafael has made her wonder if maybe she should be marrying Mike at all, since she's starting to develop feelings for her boss/baby's father. Which is why it's kind of inconvenient for Mike that the place they've chosen to have all the sex happens to be Rafael's hotel. Because as if all the petals falling off flowers around the joint weren't enough to make her think the Fates were trying to send her a message, as soon as they hit the bed, she's confronted by the voice of her secret maybe-beloved.

This doesn't ruin the night completely -- that honour belongs to Luisa, who pulls the fire alarm to stop her father from finding out that she's been sleeping with his wife, and who could stop messing around with Jane's sex life, like, ANY TIME NOW -- but having Rafael interrupt what's supposed to be Jane and Mike's first time with his accidental double entendres does spoil the mood. Not to say this is any less than Mike deserves, since he's kind of a dirtbag, but still, Jane could've got hers off him, at least!
