This was a pretty sweet episode. Allow me to explain. Also, as a warning,
Jane the Virgin may have some mature content.
We start with a flashback of Abuela and older Mateo first buying their house in Miami, raising a family, etc. So it's a bit sad that the burst leak showed all the damage done to the house. The Villanueva family is staying at the Marabella until then, living the life. Guess who else is living the life? Pablo and Abuela.
Anyway, the Villanueva women still have to figure out all the damage that was done to the house, and they come to find out it's falling apart. Jane was planning on having her wedding there, but now she must rely on Rogelio for all the wedding planning. He wants to invite way more people than Jane does and make a big celebration of the entire thing. Meanwhile, Michael is interrogating Rafael's brother, and Rafael storms in, demanding his brother needs a lawyer. Later, Michael goes to visit Jane at the hotel, where Mateo is screaming and can't fall asleep. Jane tries walking him around in a stroller, and encounters Petra dazedly walking the halls.
She's a bit worried about her, and also worried the next day when she and Michael go house hunting and can't seem to find anything to their liking. Until they
do find something, but the house is forty minutes away. Rafael is not happy about that, and asks if he could pay the difference in a better place that's closer. Jane decides to think about it. Petra is also thinking about things. Jane suggests to Petra that they should attend her old mommy class, which might make her feel better.
Michael meets up with Jane later and she brings up what Rafael said about the house and his offer to pay the difference. Michael, of course, doesn't want him to, and offers a different solution about commuting. Jane brings that up to Rafael, and he says he'll have to think about it. Later, Abuela is spending time with Pablo, and it's clear they want to have sex, but Abuela has her vow of chastity, so Pablo proposes.
She accepts, and when she tells Jane and Xo they aren't completely on board, but they try to be happy for her. Later, Jane and Petra go to the mommy class, and though she's slow to warm up, Petra eventually enjoys herself. Also enjoying himself is Rogelio who is planning the wedding. He stops by the hotel with Charro (famous Latin superstar) to see if Jane is there, but finds Xo instead. He doesn't really want to talk to her and reveals he's still heart-broken.
Back at the mommy class, Petra reveals she's not really connecting with the babies. The other mothers think she might be having postpartum depression, which angers her, so she storms off. Jane goes to talk to her and suggests she go to see a doctor. Petra agrees to think about it. Rafael is also thinking about things. He has decided to tell Jane she can't move away that far when Petra walks in. He reveals what's going on, but Petra snaps and tells him how Jane has done so much for him and that the least he could do is make things work.
Rafael then concedes, much to the joy of Jane who is visiting Rogelio on the telenovela set. She talks to him about the guest roll and the wedding planning, and frustrated, she decides to pay for the wedding herself. She goes to Abuela and Xo to rant about life, then later meets with Michael to sign the lease for the house. But then Mateo starts cruising, and Jane rethinks her decision. Meanwhile, Petra talks to the doctor about her postpartum depression and they ask if it runs in the family. She's not sure, but the doctor advises her to ask her mother.
Later, Rafael's brother decides to leave for New York, but Rafael asks him to stay. Also, Michael was listening in on the entire conversation. Meanwhile, Jane went with Xo to check out cheaper churches now that she's paying for the wedding, but Xo convinces her she should compromise with Rogelio and let him pay. Also, as they're walking they find Pablo, wooing another woman with a flower. They eventually tell Abuela, and Abuela unleashes her fury and forces him to leave.
Meanwhile, Petra goes to talk to Magda about her possible depression, and Magda thinks she should have never been a mother, and neither should Petra. Later, Jane goes to Rogelio and apologizes, then lets him take the reins, though they do have a hard time deciding where they want the reception. Rogelio decides to ask Xo for help, finally taking a step forward. But taking a step backward is Rafael, who turns out to be the one who bugged the conversation with his brother and had Michael on the other line. I guess he doesn't trust him after all.
Michael later meets up with Jane and she says the perfect house just showed up on the market, but Michael thinks the only reason it's in their price range is because Rafael might be subsidizing it. They both decide it doesn't really matter and go to check out the house, but find the place riddled with other people putting in applications. The only way to win over the owners is with a letter saying why they are the perfect people to live there. Michael and Jane slave over the letter all night and finally come to a consensus. The next day, Rogelio reveals where he decided to have their wedding, on a set made to look like their house. (Which I'm guessing is the actual set from the show.)
Also, Michael gets a call from the realtor and says they got the house. But guess who turned out to be the owner? Petra. Of course, Michael and Jane don't know that. The Villanueva women later sit on the porch (of the set) and talk about Jane moving. Charro plays some guitar music, it's all very sweet. That is until we cut to Petra, packing her bags.
