Rogelio: There are many Jesus Christs. There is only one Jane. #awkwardsweaterkiss

I would be really disappointed if Michael is killed off, but I highly doubt that he will be, and it would be a huge mistake on the part of the writers. Brett Dier is a fantastic actor. He can nail all of the comedic moments, happy moments, tragic moments, and all of the little nuanced moments. Michael is also a good character. With him dying, there's no one left to pursue Sin Rostro, and it's pretty clear that she's still going to be the major villain of the show. I would have preferred for Jane to be with someone other than Michael or Rafael, but it's obviously not going to be the case. They have both done some seriously messed up things. Michael had to process the shock of Jane's pregnancy and deal with it in his own way, but not telling her about Petra and Roman's affair was totally out of line. He kind of lost sight of what might be best for Jane and how her life had been turned completely upside down after the insemination. He also breaks the law by tampering with the scene of a crime (without actually knowing whether or not Petra is guilty) just to avoid Jane learning about Petra's affair. That's just a really revealing character moment for him. Despite Michael's parents assessment that "he was the one person who stood by her," Jane was totally right to end things with him after finding out he'd been lying to her. Michael was actually the only person in her life who DIDN'T stand by her and support her. Michael getting excessively violent with Rafael and Mateo ends up getting hurt, that's a huge red flag. Even though he's never given any indication that he's a violent person or would do anything remotely close to harming Jane or Mateo, a violent eruption like that is a serious problem. Rafael just seems to think that rules don't apply to him. Paying someone to lie to the police (regardless of his motivations about his father's death) just shows a lack of character. He claims that he does it because he knows that Jane wouldn't forgive him, but if he knew her at all, he'd know that this wasn't true. Jane is very forgiving and totally understood why he went to the police (even though she completely disagreed with the lying and the means through which he reported Michael) once she knew the truth. It was a huge character moment for Rafael when he chose not to profess his love for Jane for the millionth time right before her wedding. Rafael could never really take no for an answer, and he was pushy with Jane time and time again. It seems like he's the type of person who can't understand why he can't always just get what he wants. Right after Mateo is born, he keeps bombarding her with his feelings about how he never stopped loving her after she repeatedly tells him that she isn't ready. He goes in for multiple kisses even though she hasn't given him any signal that it's the right move. Anytime she had a heart to heart with him he took it as an opportunity to kiss her. It just feels like he doesn't understand her and what she needs at all, and if he does, then he doesn't respect it. He repeatedly tells her that she's throwing their family away by choosing Michael, but HE threw the family away when he broke up with her. He ended things, broke her heart, and then wants her to forgive and forget when he decides that he made a mistake. He just reminds me of a petulant child. Of the two, I do think that Michael is the better choice, and I would be really surprised if the show killed him off. He's more grounded than Rafael and doesn't come with the crazy baggage of Petra (who I've grown to love so much, but she's still seriously mad for inseminating herself). Part of me feels like it would be inline with the genre for Jane and Rafael to end up together in the end, but I don't see that happening if Michael lives. I guess they could write it in somehow. I don't really see how it would make sense for Jane and Michael to ever break up when they're so madly in love with each other. Setting Michael's past issues aside, he's perfect for Jane. I think it's more likely that he'll have amnesia. But the creators of the show have said that Jane is going to lose her virginity this season, and I can't imagine it happening with anyone but Michael at this point. I really can't wait for season three. It's just brilliant.
