Well, I still don't know why I"m supposed to care about any of these women. Renata could be entertaining at times, but lord she's a lot of work. And I knew as soon as she opened the door to that "toy" room she was gonna smash things up. Because she's always out of control and on the edge. If this is Emmy-stature work, um, well, not impressed. Watched Reese krinkle her eyes through a serious conversation and I guess that passes for emotion. I'm afraid Meryl may never want to do television work again. Oh dear. I've read a couple of this author's novels and they always start well, but by the end the characters (women) in them just don't seem real to me. Same with this show.

Well, the LLN kept reminding us that this is a telenovela!

Well . . . For having only 2 more episodes left, I’m kind of disappointed. At least Rose escaped so there is some hope for some excitement to come.

And here’s my alternate ending . . . The writers are really playing around with us!

Am I the only one who dislikes Madeline? She aggravates me no end, and I have no understanding of why the other women follow her lead with regard to the "accidental" death last season. I'm supposed to have some sympathy for her I guess, but I really really don't.

Alba did get married by a priest in her church before she and Jorge could be fully married, so she still believes, at least for herself, in the sacrament. The marriage Jane performed was a civil ceremony.

Yes, all ministers are all about the money. Actually, any church you ask to be married in or minister you ask to marry you will expect to do some marriage counseling before the ceremony. And he wasn’t questioning anyone’s beliefs just Rafael’s commitment based on the evidence before him. I still think Jane overreacted to a reasonable question, when all she had to do was say oh, no thank you. If, in fact she IS so certain about Rafael she wouldn’t have needed to react so vehemently, but, I think we’ve bludgeoned this point enough.

Well, I guess I saw a different show than you. If you ask a minister of a church to marry you, he or she is going to abide by the tenets of his/her church’s beliefs. Jane was concerned about having to push the appointment once and then about showing up without Rafael (with no notice) for the second scheduled appointment because she kind of suspected what the response might be. Why bother with a minister at all then? For her abuela? Her abuela would not appreciate a Unitarian anyway. Imagine if a Unitarian had spoken to a Catholic priest that way? i love it when people expect to ignore the rules just because . . .

Really? People ask to get married by officiants of churches they don't attend, and have no intention of attending, all the time. I think officiants have the right to set some standards for marriage. I thought Jane was incredibly rude to him. She chose him because she thought he wouldn't care that they didn't care about some of the precedents of marriage and when he asked her to think about Raf's commitment, based on the information he was given, she could have politely replied, I'll think about what you said, and then left. She didn't have to say "you can't even commit to a religion'" because apparently Jane can't either.

I think Louisa will end up being his best man (after she helps take down Rose) when he remarries Petra. *giggles hysterically* I really do believe that Louisa will be standing next to Rafael at the wedding. Here's a link to some currently running theories. https://www.bustle.com/p/8-theories-about-how-jane-the-virgin-ends-so-you-can-mentally-prepare-for-the-worst-18142893

OooOoOoh, not what I was thinking at all. 😉 Jane is acting like Michael so much with Rafael and we all know how that turned out for Michael, that I wonder if they are leading up to something BIG. Krishna just might be playing a long game of some sort, but I don't see that. However, I think the Marbella might bring Raf and Petra closer together. I hope Petra survives, I think she will. I want a happy ending for her. Michael and Charlie probably ARE a couple but that is TOO easy in my eyes. I hope Michael is actively working to bring Sin Rostro down and reaches some sort of hero status. I know, I'm thinking way too hard about what the Narrator is really saying or not saying, but his little line about someone does change their mind later makes me W O N D E R Or you could be right, MS LARK. Thanks for your speculations!

Ms Lark, I am anxiously awaiting your speculations!

There was a lot of foreshadowing, possibly, in this episode.

Darn those writers, toying with my emotions like that. LOL’d at the sequel is never as good as the original. Ha! I like the idea of Alba being the officiant, but Jane was pretty rude about the Unitarians. Hope Petra will be okay!

Oh, thanks for that! But it's supposed to be 2 hours and one hour is a retrospective, so . . . not new material.
