Jane the Virgin (2014) s04e07 Episode Script
Chapter Seventy-One
1 NARRATOR: Friends, let's talk Jane.
She's been through so much.
She got married, but then I woke up feeling a little off.
Thought it was pre-test jitters.
- Well, how do you feel now? - Totally fine.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And the worst thing happened, and Michael died.
And so Jane wrote a book about their love story, and when it got published, well, Jane was pretty freaking excited.
Plus, things were going great with her boyfriend, Adam.
My publisher set up a mini book tour.
I was wondering if you wanted to come.
He even drew the cover art for her book.
Unfortunately - I'm moving to L.
A.
- I can't believe this.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yeah, so that officially sucked.
Also having relationship woes, Jane's parents.
On the bright side, Alba and Jorge were still going strong.
Not doing as well our Rafael.
See, his sister, Luisa, finally decided to give him back his hotel shares only problem, Luisa was hallucinating some man named Carl.
- You see Carl here, right? - No.
And so she checked herself into a psychiatric hospital.
But, OMG, Carl was real.
See, Petra's twin sister, Anezka, and their mother, Magda, set Luisa up to make her think she was losing her mind, so they could assume control of the hotel.
In the event of her incapacitation, all her hotel shares go to Anezka.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And so Petra tried to drive a wedge between Magda and Anezka, which left Anezka sad and confused, and, well And I won't leave you hanging any longer, so let's begin.
There were three times on her journey to becoming a published author when Jane Gloriana Villanueva really needed a push.
And each time, Rafael was there.
This, of course, was the first time.
Well, it depends.
Am I being practical or brave? Be brave.
I'm a writer? I have never said that out loud before.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And, friends, suddenly a window of possibilities opened for Jane.
And I'm not gonna let stupid Adam ruin my book tour! Even though he already ruined my book-launch party by suddenly deciding to move across the country, even though I asked him three times Three times, Ma If he was sure he was in, and every single time he said âYeah, I'm all in.
â - I mean, who does that? - Men.
NARRATOR: Present company excluded, of course.
I'd rather go with you on my book tour, anyway.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: âTourâ is a little ambitious.
It's two stops.
Well, it's perfect timing, because I need time away from your father.
- What's this? - Our itinerary.
Okay.
Well, this is exciting.
Exactly.
So exciting, yeah.
And Adam the jackass won't be a part of any of it, which is his loss, because this is gonna be so much freakin' fun! Yeah! (MUTTERS) What are you doing here? I wanted to loan my daughter my classic convertible for her first book tour.
Jane, don't you take those keys.
Ma, I'm staying out of your fight, but we're taking the convertible! Come on, Xo.
I said I was sorry.
That you made me feel guilty for the last five years for not telling you about Jane? When you already had a sneaking suspicion A small sneaking suspicion.
that I'd had the baby.
(HORN HONKING) Look I just need some space from you.
(HONKING CONTINUES) JANE: Mateo! Stop honking the horn! I got him, I got him.
(HONKING CONTINUES) - Okay, so you have my itinerary.
- Received.
And I assume there's a backup copy waiting in my in-box.
You are going on a book tour.
This is huge.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And, friends, that's when he said (HORN HONKING) Okay, now my mom's honking I should go.
(ENGINE IDLING) You have to admit, this is a cool car.
I'm having Rogelio sell it after this trip.
But, yeah, we're like Thelma and Louise.
(EXCITED SQUEAL) Ooh.
What should we listen to? Mom? Aren't you supposed to be at work? (ENGINE REVS) (TIRES SQUEAL) First of all, I'm going the speed limit, and second of all, no, I can't, because I have to be in Palm Beach by 2:00 p.
m.
to check in and get ready for the reading.
(RINGTONE PLAYING) Oh.
I'm trying to.
It's your editor.
- Speakerphone.
- Speakerphone! Everyone shush! Jeremy, hey.
So, listen, huge news.
You are part of a double-billing tonight.
She's just confirmed.
- Uh, who confirmed? - Iyanla Vanzant.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: OMG.
Yes, lyanla, fix my life.
Who's that? My grandmother.
Sorry.
Hey, Grandma! Iyanla's the host of Iyanla: Fix My Life on OWN, and a total Oprah insider.
Which means Jane's crowd tonight will be big.
So kill it, okay, Jane? And don't ever put me on speaker again.
Well, that's exciting.
Again? MATEO: I have to go to the bathroom.
Again? My tummy still hurts.
(CLICKS TONGUE, SIGHS) He does feel a little warm.
(SIGHS): Go on, bud.
And Daddy's gonna get you some Tylenol.
And if you get worse, Papa's gonna call me at work, okay? Okay.
Should we tell Jane? No.
She's on her book tour.
We don't need to call her.
Call me if you need anything, anything at all.
I know it's your first time alone with Mateo since you got home, so I just wanted you to be prepared.
I also e-mailed you a backup It should be in your in-box.
Emergency contacts, nap times, what to do if he's cranky or he won't eat or if you can't find Mr.
Monkey.
And this is where I'm staying in Fort Myers.
You nervous? (WHISPERS): So nervous.
I haven't seen Michael's mom since the funeral.
You don't have to ask her permission, you know.
To write about him.
Yes, I do.
Okay, Mr.
Sweetface, Mommy's got to go.
No, Mommy! - No! - It's okay, - you'll be fine.
- Mommy! I want Mommy! I want Mommy.
Oh, I know you do, buddy.
Mwah.
But Mommy's gonna be back in two sleeps, okay? And you'll feel better soon.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Oh, geez.
That's foreboding.
Is that Anezka's? I'll remind you that Petra's sister had recently been found hanging in one of the guest rooms.
No.
Anezka's body was cremated, so we don't need a casket, which I keep telling them.
MAN: I spoke to the boss.
He said the mistake must have been with the funeral home, so you got to deal with them.
Yeah, we can't take it back now.
No, of course you can't.
Krishna, handle this.
Wh-Where do you - want them to put it? - I don't care! Just out of sight of the guests.
Why are you even having a funeral? You're obviously not mourning Anezka.
Of course I am.
She committed suicide after I tried to drive a wedge between her and my mother, so I feel guilty, all right? Fine.
Her death was so public, if I don't seem sad, it'll look bad for the hotel.
- Mm.
- (SIGHS): So I'm going to set out the urn with her ashes, people can say good-bye to her, and then this whole chapter of my life will be over.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Ah, yes.
A chapter closed.
Just like Jane's relationship with Adam.
I-I booked this room as a joke for me and Adam.
It's cool.
I'm fine.
Screw Adam! He's not here.
(CHUCKLES) More champagne for Mama.
Oh, he must have forgotten to cancel these.
âTo Xiomara.
XOXO, Ro.
â I'm sorry, hon, they're not from Adam.
Please.
(SCOFFS) What would they even say? âSorry for being a dick and leaving you, âthe same way I left you nine years ago, âbut that's just who I am A stupid, lying, tattooed jerk-faceâ?! NARRATOR: Yeah, that would be a weird thing to write on a card.
- Uh, hon? - Mm-hmm? Y-You're not gonna bring that much, uh, rage to the reading? I am not gonna yell, Abuela! I just find it crazy that I gave him three chances to back out before we got serious.
Three! One, I get you're still figuring it out.
Go ahead.
Even two.
Two is like âI don't know, you know? Let's just see where this goesâ But three! Three! (GRUNTS LOUDLY) - Sweetie? - No, this is good.
This is good.
I'm-I'm getting it out now! I feel good.
I feel better.
Okay, now let's just go to the reading, so I can talk about how freaking great true love is! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Oh, dear, this could get dark.
âThere was a light on inside, âand his heart stopped for a beat âas he imagined Josephine there, just beyond the wood of the door and glass of the windows.
â LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Oh, phew.
She didn't yell at anyone.
WOMAN: All right, thank you both so much.
And now we have time for some questions.
Yes.
Iyanla, I get what you were saying about developing a relationship with yourself before developing one with someone else.
But is it still okay to want to be swept off my feet? Like in a big romantic way? Is it okay to want it? Oh, well, absolutely it is.
Who in their right mind wouldn't want this? (LAUGHTER) I mean I'm gonna need you to talk to me about this lusty cover.
SUSPENS Well, it was designed by a very talented artist who, um who (CRYING): who dumped me and broke my heart.
(JANE SOBBING) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Well, at least she didn't yell.
(GASPS) What a disaster.
No one even wanted to buy my book.
Mm-hmm.
Mm, probably to see if it contains signs that I'm insane.
Are you really reading Iyanla's book right now, Ma? I thought maybe she'd have advice.
She was very insightful talking you down at the store.
- (SOBBING): Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Oh.
I always say that lives fall apart when they need to be put back together.
(SNIFFLES) Mm-hmm.
(SQUEALS) (PHONE RINGING) Oh, great.
It's my editor.
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna have to tell him what happened.
Jeremy, hey.
You cried? LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: I guess he knows.
A little, yeah.
A little? Jane, there were audience tweets with the hashtag #SnotFalling.
This is not good.
- What do we do now? - I don't know.
Hopefully you'll get a good review soon to give you some momentum going into the Romance Writers Convention, which will be live-streamed, Jane.
So, no crying.
You cannot cry.
Okay.
I won't cry.
I promise.
I really don't feel good, Papa.
Don't worry.
You'll feel better soon.
That's a Papa promise.
JANE: You were right.
I feel better after a shower.
(BLOW-DRYER BLOWING) Mateo has a 102 fever.
Should we tell her? Oh, my God! My Romance Weekly book review is out.
Ah! Oh.
(CHUCKLES) I am so nervous.
Okay, here it is.
(EXHALES) âThe author's actual back-story, âwhich has been highlighted in promotional materials, - is captivating, certainly.
â - Mm.
âBut rendered into fiction âso many steps removed, âit falls much flatter.
âWhether it's the build-up âor the distance, there is a sense here of promise unfulfilledâ Oh, hon.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: I can't believe it.
I love that book so much.
But to be fair, her best is yet to come.
(MOUTHING) Thanks for calling, Xo.
Don't worry, I'm heading home now to check on him and I'll text you an update.
Thanks.
(LINE DIALING) Mateo got worse and you texted Xo instead of me? I was about to, but Okay, look, I know we don't always see eye-to-eye and it's obvious that you don't like me very much.
- What? - But here's the thing.
You don't have to like me, but you do have to respect me because I am Mateo's father.
So, get him ready because I am coming home and I am taking him to the doctor.
(SIGHS) Okay, thank you, Doctor.
I'll call if anything changes.
I'm sorry.
I feel bad.
I know this was an important weekend for you, but we didn't prepare for if he was sick.
I'm glad you brought him here.
I-I was worried, too.
(SIGHS) Why is your manuscript in the trash? Uh, well, I saw Patricia and she didn't exactly give me her blessing.
What? What'd she say? Well she blames me for Michael's death.
She thinks if I had just taken him to the hospital when he first started feeling sick, (CRYING): then he'd still be alive.
- Jane.
- Hmm? You know that it's not your fault.
It's fine.
I'll write something else.
XIOMARA: You need to stop looking at that.
I guess the good news is, is that after the review, nobody's gonna read my awful book.
You know what? That's it.
We are getting out of this room and we are going out on the town.
What? You can wear something of mine.
We're doing this.
Like lyanla says, âWhat you don't do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you makeâ Oh, please, Ma.
You've only read one chapter.
It was a good one.
(LAUGHS) Come on.
Let's go have a good time.
I promise you'll feel better.
ELSA: Come on! Hurry, Mommy.
Look, Anna died.
Oh, my God.
Anna, get out of there.
Very funny.
(ELSA AND ANNA GIGGLING) Girls.
(GRUNTS) What is this doing here? - Someone delivered it.
- Great.
Well, call Krishna and tell her when I asked her to move it, I did not mean here.
Okay.
Girls, stop that.
Girls, stop that.
- Oh! - Oops.
Sorry, Mommy.
It's okay.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Let's just go down to the funeral.
Ah.
Look sad.
SAD VIOLIN PLAYING All right, wait here.
I have to go rinse my eyes.
Behave.
Ugh.
Don't let my mother get near them.
(SNIFFLES) (WOMAN SQUEAKS) Who's there? SUSPENS INTENSIFYING Hello, beautiful sister.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: I did tell you that she didn't kill herself.
You're alive? No, but it can't be.
I I saw your body hanging.
Th-There were EMTs.
Not real EMTs.
Actors.
Mother and I always be hiring actors to play prank on people.
A good example is Carl.
He is part of Orlando-based acting troupe, and he plays evil Disney villain in big parade.
He plays Now I'm trying to remember who he plays.
Not Gaston.
Anezka! I don't care what villain he plays.
You faked your own death? Yes, exactly.
Well, because I was being so confused about whether I should trust you or Mother, a-and I just not knowing how to decide.
And then it felt like fate.
I want my funeral to be epic.
I want people to weep.
I want them to feel sorry for taking me for granted because they won't realize until I'm gone how much they really love me.
ANEZKA: And then I realize I need to see who really loved me.
And now I see it was beautiful sister.
Still beautiful even when you is crying your eyes out over me.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And in that moment, Petra realized what she had to do.
I just can't believe you're here.
I was heartbroken.
Oh.
I'm just so happy.
(CHUCKLES) See, I told you you could trust me.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Wow, she's good.
She should join Carl's Orlando-based acting troupe.
And I hate to tell you this.
(SNIFFLES) Mother wasn't sad at all.
But you were always hating Mother.
Maybe you are lying right now to convince me not to trust her.
Really? ANEZKA: Oh, yes, that's who Carl played.
Captain Hook.
Anezka, focus.
Look, she's yawning at your funeral.
Maybe she's just tired from sleepless nights of grieving.
Well, she still thinks you're dead.
So I'll prove it.
Let me know if you want LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Ooh, looks like someone else went incognito.
To a higher place So it's good we didn't tell Jane.
Let me show you how to rock my way A toast to Oh, this beer is lukewarm.
Just like my review.
(LAUGHS) Honey, you have to stop thinking about it.
Focus on something else.
Adam? Damn it.
(CRYING): Oh.
Remind me again why he's the worst.
Mmm.
Exactly.
He sucks.
Men suck.
They think they can just spring things on you, and you're not supposed to react.
What are you talking about, Ma? He did? When? You just left? H-He proposed to you.
(LAUGHING) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And now to a very different mother-daughter relationship.
If you're not done packing in five minutes, I'm calling security.
I have one hand.
It takes time.
I thought you might like this.
It was Anezka's.
Ugh.
Why would I want that? Because your dead daughter clung to it every night while she slept at the orphanage.
Might be a nice memento.
You really have no feelings for her? If Anezka was stupid enough to kill herself when she finally had control of the hotel, then she deserve to die.
ANEZKA: Well, now I am knowing how you really feel, Mother.
(GASPS) You're alive! God has given me a miracle! Save it, Mother.
You would never make it in Carl's troupe.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And speaking of wonderful actors RAFAEL: Mateo's asleep.
His fever broke at the doctor's.
Just a virus, and he'll be better in a few days.
And I'm sorry for yelling at you.
No, you were right.
I should have respected you as Matelio's father.
You don't look so good.
Is that necessary? I apologized.
I mean you don't look well.
Oh.
I'm fine.
Except for the fact that it's 30 degrees in here.
Um You must have thought about marrying Jorge, though.
- Aw.
- But you don't have to feel the same thing, right? I mean, things with Jorge are pretty nice.
You guys get along so well.
At this point in your life, that's pretty good, right? Yeah.
Meaning that Oh, come on, Abuela, - you know she didn't mean that.
- That's not what I meant.
(SCOFFS) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And that's why I don't drink tequila.
Abuela, stop.
That is not what Mom meant.
She just meant that, at different stages, you need and want different things.
Ah.
Abuela, stop.
You're being drunk and dramatic.
You are! Mom is not trying to put you in a diaper.
Anyone can see that you're still young! Oh! And you know what young people do? Mm.
They dance.
So come on.
There is a floor and we're about to dance on it, so it's about to be a dance floor! - No.
No, no, no, no, no.
I am going - to be drunk and dramatic, too.
And you said this trip was about me, and I want to dance.
Come on! What is that? You can do better! Ay! (WHOOPS) Break it down! Oh! Whoo, whoo! That's what I'm talking about! That's my grandma, y'all! That's my grandma! Go, Grandma! That's my grandma! Uh-huh.
Your grandma ain't as hot as this.
Come on.
What are you guys doing? So you're not mad anymore? - I'm sorry! I - Okay! You're bringing down the vibe! Why don't you dance your apology? What? (WHOOPS) Yeah! Come on! Yeah! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Dang, Alba, those hips don't lie! Yeah! What the hell is this doing here? The delivery company can't pick it up until tomorrow.
I was trying to keep it out of sight.
And you thought smack-dab in front of my office was the ideal spot.
- Yes? - Put it outside the hotel where the guests don't see it and I won't see it.
Understand? (SIGHS) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS, TRILLS) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Huh.
Kind of confusing when they're both dressed as Petra.
I'll give them name tags.
So, how did it go? Beautiful sister was right about Mother.
She didn't really love me.
So I tell her to leave.
Mother is banished from hotel forever! (SIGHS) Well that's exactly what she deserves after what she did to you.
Yes.
So now I will be wanting to learn from you.
- Huh? - I know nothing about ruling a hotel.
- âRunning,â not âruling.
â - Yes.
I-I found this little show on the Internet.
All about rulers.
And they all be wanting to sit on this funny-looking iron throne You mentioned wanting to learn from me? Yes.
Will you teach me? So I can use my shares wisely.
Let's do it! ROGELIO: Don't touch me.
You don't want to catch this sickness, trust me.
I don't know how Matelio survived it.
(ALARM RINGS) Oh.
It's my reminder to apologize to Xo.
I've been texting her an apology every hour, on the hour.
Can you hand me my phone? Actually, I think I'm too weak to type.
Can you do it for me? I think you can skip an hour, Rogelio.
And for what it's worth, I think Xo should be the one apologizing to you.
Come again? When things got tough, she ran away, and that's not okay.
You guys are husband and wife.
You got to stick it out and work together.
That's actually smart.
I-I'm feverish.
I didn't mean it that way.
Can you tuck me in a little tighter? I've been thinking a lot about why we aren't as close as we could be.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: They look pretty close to me.
You were a ladies' man when we met.
And you broke my daughter's heart.
That was a long time ago.
And Jane and I are not together.
I know.
But seeing how close you are You are going on a book tour.
This is huge.
(HORN HONKS) ROGELIO: Sometimes, it just seems like a matter of time.
Which is silly, I know.
Hi.
I-I wasn't expecting you.
I know.
Uh But I read this.
My book? How did you I understand why you are writing it.
It's your way of grieving Michael and honoring his memory.
So you have my blessing to continue.
Really? I think you're gonna make Michael very proud.
But you and I need space from each other.
So I do not need to hear from you or hear about the book.
You stole my pages out of the trash and showed them to Patricia? Thank you.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yes, friends, this was the second time Jane needed a push.
I want you to finish the book, okay? Because I really like that Rake character, and I want to find out what happens to him.
How did I get so lucky to have you as my accidental artificial inseminator? No, I'm the lucky one.
(SNIFFLING) Looks like someone has Jane on the brain.
(WHOOPS) Yeah! (CACKLING) (WHOOPING) Wait, wait, let me have your phone.
I want to take a picture.
We have to document this, because, clearly, we are so drunk, we're not gonna remember this in the morning.
All right! Come on! Let me see what you real (CHUCKLES) Bright light fever.
Mateo was sick and you guys hid it from me? He was okay, and it was your book tour.
Mateo is much more important, Ma.
Of course he is, and Rafael was taking him to the doctor.
Which I need to know, because I am his mother.
I don't understand why you would ever hide that from me.
What's going on? And, of course, we understand why, given what happened with Michael.
That's absurd.
I don't overreact.
I react the way any mother would if her child is sick.
Does Rafael feel the same way, too? You should talk to Rafael about all of this.
Oh, believe me, I will talk to him.
- Slow down, Jane.
- No, I will not slow down.
Mateo's my child.
I need to know what's going on with him, especially in regards to health.
And, yes, I may be overly sensitive to illness because of Michael, but you do not need to protect me.
I wasn't protecting you.
I was protecting Mateo.
What? (SIGHS) Do you remember the first time you went away? And Mateo got sick and then we drove to see you.
(WATER RUNNING) Whoa, come here.
(CHUCKLES): Whoa.
- Hey! - Come here.
Okay.
Well, it looks like you're feeling better.
Can we ask Mom to be sure? Well, Mommy's in the shower.
How do you feel? I think okay.
We should ask Mommy.
Wh-Why do you want to ask Mommy? Because I could catch a germ and die like Michael.
Does that scare you? Okay.
Look at me, all right? You're not gonna die.
Okay? And you know something else? You're strong, like a lion.
I just didn't want him to be afraid every time he got sick.
I can't believe I did that to him.
I'm sorry.
No, stop.
It's not your fault you're scared.
And it's not your fault that Michael didn't go to the doctor.
Thank you for saying that.
You okay? Yeah.
I'll talk to you later.
(SHUDDERING BREATHS) (PHONE CHIMES) (SNIFFLES) (SNIFFLES) - What's this? - BELLBOY: Special delivery.
Do you want me to make up the swans? ALL THREE: No! He's got to stop already.
I'm texting him.
He says they're not from him.
(LAUGHING): He's mad at me for running away.
All these years, he (SCOFFS) You should talk.
You ran away from Jorge.
JANE: Oh XO: Hmm? Abuela.
¿Qué? LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Ah, love.
- Don't you cry.
- I'm not.
- I'm not gonna cry.
- Because we're 30 minutes from the Romance Writers Convention, which is going to be live-streamed - to hundreds of fans.
- I know.
Abuela, remind me again, why Adam was so terrible for me.
- What? - Ma! JANE: And so, yeah, with all the lusty faces I make while I'm writing, I can't, uh, write in a coffee shop anymore.
(LAUGHTER) Yeah.
I saw your meltdown on stage with lyanla.
It was trending on Twitter for a few minutes.
Oh, good.
(CHUCKLES) Can you talk more about that? - Hmm? - Like, wh-what's it like to write romance through heartbreak? Are you gonna write about the cover artist in your next book? Well, that is a two-part question.
First, romance through heartbreak.
I mean, heartbreak is a great place to start for a character, right? Uh not looking for love, suddenly it happens.
Suddenly feelings you thought were gone are now awakened.
As for whether he'll be in the next book, specifically? Every story needs a villain, right? - Go, Mommy! - Oh, she's nailing it.
That's my girl.
Now bring it home, Jane.
WOMAN: So, what now? Are you opening the door to love again? JANE: Personally? I wouldn't go that far.
But maybe a window.
(JANE CHUCKLES) (APPLAUSE) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: True, there were only eight people in the audience, but damned if she didn't charm the entire octet.
(APPLAUSE) Thank you so much for coming.
(CHUCKLES) (INHALES) Ooh.
Who should I make this out to? Patricia.
Sorry.
Hi, I, uh I didn't know that you were coming.
Well, um, I kept track of you.
A little.
And when the book came out, I-I got it, and and I read it.
And I felt Michael again.
And I didn't think I would ever feel him again.
He would have loved this.
I love it.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And, friends, this was the only review that really mattered.
Thank you so much.
That means everything.
I'm sorry that I said those things to you.
What happened, I know, was not your fault.
He was a grown man.
He should have gone to the doctor.
It's just You can't get mad at the person who died, you know? Yeah, I know.
(EXHALES) (QUIETLY): Will you sign my book? Oh Yeah! (BOTH LAUGH) (XIOMARA SIGHING) What? - You you what?! - What? Mom! (SHOUTS) (LAUGHING): Yeah! Can we finally take this top down and celebrate? (LAUGHING, WHOOPING) Yes! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yup.
Back to real life.
I'm sorry.
You were right.
I-I shouldn't have run away.
I obviously have a lot of work to do on being a married woman.
I'm still figuring it out.
And I'm sorry for who I was.
For my failings.
But I've changed.
Yeah.
I know.
But there's still a lot to talk about, you know.
So I've been thinking, I want to go to counseling.
That's a great idea.
You should go.
Not me, us.
We should go to couples therapy together.
(LAUGHS) No way.
I don't believe in that garbage.
But if you need me to go with you, while they figure out your issues, I'm happy to do that.
(EXHALES) Fine.
Let's do that, then.
Thank you.
(EXHALES) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And in that moment, Alba knew the only answer she could give was No.
JORGE: What? NARRATOR: What? Well, I guess that window is officially closed.
Hello, beautiful sister.
Okay, first lesson.
Future lessons will take place in my office from now on.
No.
They won't.
What's going on? Well, for one, I finally finished watching Game of Thrones, and spoiler alert, turns out Sansa becomes very powerful.
What are you talking about? Beautiful sister thinks I am stupid donkey.
But I figure out truth.
You have been whispering lies to me this whole time.
You don't care about me.
Hi, Mommy.
Hi, girls.
(GASPS) Do you miss your Auntie Anezka? LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: To clarify Not really.
We hate her, right? But Mommy was crying at her funeral.
After we sprayed perfume in your eyes? You know what I learn from my own funeral? That I am all alone in this world.
And now that I know, I will rule things my way.
Look, Anezka.
You're right.
I don't trust you.
But guess what.
It doesn't matter.
Because once I tell Luisa that you and Mother gaslit her, she's going to get out and sign all her shares over to Rafael.
- I told her.
- What? I told her.
Only, not that version.
The version I tell her is that you and Rafael were the ones who had been sending Carl and lighting her gas.
That's a lie.
(LAUGHS) Yes.
Well, Luisa be not knowing that.
And she seemed very, very angry with her brother.
- What the hell, man? - Apparently, she really didn't order the casket.
Oh! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And I promise you, friends, this time she really is dead.
Ned Stark dead.
JANE: To be continued.
Please, just read for five more minutes.
Mm, nope.
It's time for bed.
(KISSING) Good night, Mr.
Sweetface.
I'm a lion.
Right, Daddy? Yes, but that's our secret, remember? What was all that lion stuff about? Eh, it was a father-son thing.
See? I knew you'd get there.
We make a really good team.
It's getting late.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) (WATER RUNNING) (WATER STOPS) Mateo seems fine.
Thank you, a-again, for not calling me.
- What's wrong? - The review.
Maybe I'm not cut out to be a writer.
That is just your doubts and your fears talking.
You have to keep writing.
You are a writer.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yes, friends.
This was the third time.
You need me to say it? Be brave.
Be brave.
Be brave.
BOMBASTIC MUSIC And, friends, he knew then and there, that he had to be brave, too.
She's been through so much.
She got married, but then I woke up feeling a little off.
Thought it was pre-test jitters.
- Well, how do you feel now? - Totally fine.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And the worst thing happened, and Michael died.
And so Jane wrote a book about their love story, and when it got published, well, Jane was pretty freaking excited.
Plus, things were going great with her boyfriend, Adam.
My publisher set up a mini book tour.
I was wondering if you wanted to come.
He even drew the cover art for her book.
Unfortunately - I'm moving to L.
A.
- I can't believe this.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yeah, so that officially sucked.
Also having relationship woes, Jane's parents.
On the bright side, Alba and Jorge were still going strong.
Not doing as well our Rafael.
See, his sister, Luisa, finally decided to give him back his hotel shares only problem, Luisa was hallucinating some man named Carl.
- You see Carl here, right? - No.
And so she checked herself into a psychiatric hospital.
But, OMG, Carl was real.
See, Petra's twin sister, Anezka, and their mother, Magda, set Luisa up to make her think she was losing her mind, so they could assume control of the hotel.
In the event of her incapacitation, all her hotel shares go to Anezka.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And so Petra tried to drive a wedge between Magda and Anezka, which left Anezka sad and confused, and, well And I won't leave you hanging any longer, so let's begin.
There were three times on her journey to becoming a published author when Jane Gloriana Villanueva really needed a push.
And each time, Rafael was there.
This, of course, was the first time.
Well, it depends.
Am I being practical or brave? Be brave.
I'm a writer? I have never said that out loud before.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And, friends, suddenly a window of possibilities opened for Jane.
And I'm not gonna let stupid Adam ruin my book tour! Even though he already ruined my book-launch party by suddenly deciding to move across the country, even though I asked him three times Three times, Ma If he was sure he was in, and every single time he said âYeah, I'm all in.
â - I mean, who does that? - Men.
NARRATOR: Present company excluded, of course.
I'd rather go with you on my book tour, anyway.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: âTourâ is a little ambitious.
It's two stops.
Well, it's perfect timing, because I need time away from your father.
- What's this? - Our itinerary.
Okay.
Well, this is exciting.
Exactly.
So exciting, yeah.
And Adam the jackass won't be a part of any of it, which is his loss, because this is gonna be so much freakin' fun! Yeah! (MUTTERS) What are you doing here? I wanted to loan my daughter my classic convertible for her first book tour.
Jane, don't you take those keys.
Ma, I'm staying out of your fight, but we're taking the convertible! Come on, Xo.
I said I was sorry.
That you made me feel guilty for the last five years for not telling you about Jane? When you already had a sneaking suspicion A small sneaking suspicion.
that I'd had the baby.
(HORN HONKING) Look I just need some space from you.
(HONKING CONTINUES) JANE: Mateo! Stop honking the horn! I got him, I got him.
(HONKING CONTINUES) - Okay, so you have my itinerary.
- Received.
And I assume there's a backup copy waiting in my in-box.
You are going on a book tour.
This is huge.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And, friends, that's when he said (HORN HONKING) Okay, now my mom's honking I should go.
(ENGINE IDLING) You have to admit, this is a cool car.
I'm having Rogelio sell it after this trip.
But, yeah, we're like Thelma and Louise.
(EXCITED SQUEAL) Ooh.
What should we listen to? Mom? Aren't you supposed to be at work? (ENGINE REVS) (TIRES SQUEAL) First of all, I'm going the speed limit, and second of all, no, I can't, because I have to be in Palm Beach by 2:00 p.
m.
to check in and get ready for the reading.
(RINGTONE PLAYING) Oh.
I'm trying to.
It's your editor.
- Speakerphone.
- Speakerphone! Everyone shush! Jeremy, hey.
So, listen, huge news.
You are part of a double-billing tonight.
She's just confirmed.
- Uh, who confirmed? - Iyanla Vanzant.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: OMG.
Yes, lyanla, fix my life.
Who's that? My grandmother.
Sorry.
Hey, Grandma! Iyanla's the host of Iyanla: Fix My Life on OWN, and a total Oprah insider.
Which means Jane's crowd tonight will be big.
So kill it, okay, Jane? And don't ever put me on speaker again.
Well, that's exciting.
Again? MATEO: I have to go to the bathroom.
Again? My tummy still hurts.
(CLICKS TONGUE, SIGHS) He does feel a little warm.
(SIGHS): Go on, bud.
And Daddy's gonna get you some Tylenol.
And if you get worse, Papa's gonna call me at work, okay? Okay.
Should we tell Jane? No.
She's on her book tour.
We don't need to call her.
Call me if you need anything, anything at all.
I know it's your first time alone with Mateo since you got home, so I just wanted you to be prepared.
I also e-mailed you a backup It should be in your in-box.
Emergency contacts, nap times, what to do if he's cranky or he won't eat or if you can't find Mr.
Monkey.
And this is where I'm staying in Fort Myers.
You nervous? (WHISPERS): So nervous.
I haven't seen Michael's mom since the funeral.
You don't have to ask her permission, you know.
To write about him.
Yes, I do.
Okay, Mr.
Sweetface, Mommy's got to go.
No, Mommy! - No! - It's okay, - you'll be fine.
- Mommy! I want Mommy! I want Mommy.
Oh, I know you do, buddy.
Mwah.
But Mommy's gonna be back in two sleeps, okay? And you'll feel better soon.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Oh, geez.
That's foreboding.
Is that Anezka's? I'll remind you that Petra's sister had recently been found hanging in one of the guest rooms.
No.
Anezka's body was cremated, so we don't need a casket, which I keep telling them.
MAN: I spoke to the boss.
He said the mistake must have been with the funeral home, so you got to deal with them.
Yeah, we can't take it back now.
No, of course you can't.
Krishna, handle this.
Wh-Where do you - want them to put it? - I don't care! Just out of sight of the guests.
Why are you even having a funeral? You're obviously not mourning Anezka.
Of course I am.
She committed suicide after I tried to drive a wedge between her and my mother, so I feel guilty, all right? Fine.
Her death was so public, if I don't seem sad, it'll look bad for the hotel.
- Mm.
- (SIGHS): So I'm going to set out the urn with her ashes, people can say good-bye to her, and then this whole chapter of my life will be over.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Ah, yes.
A chapter closed.
Just like Jane's relationship with Adam.
I-I booked this room as a joke for me and Adam.
It's cool.
I'm fine.
Screw Adam! He's not here.
(CHUCKLES) More champagne for Mama.
Oh, he must have forgotten to cancel these.
âTo Xiomara.
XOXO, Ro.
â I'm sorry, hon, they're not from Adam.
Please.
(SCOFFS) What would they even say? âSorry for being a dick and leaving you, âthe same way I left you nine years ago, âbut that's just who I am A stupid, lying, tattooed jerk-faceâ?! NARRATOR: Yeah, that would be a weird thing to write on a card.
- Uh, hon? - Mm-hmm? Y-You're not gonna bring that much, uh, rage to the reading? I am not gonna yell, Abuela! I just find it crazy that I gave him three chances to back out before we got serious.
Three! One, I get you're still figuring it out.
Go ahead.
Even two.
Two is like âI don't know, you know? Let's just see where this goesâ But three! Three! (GRUNTS LOUDLY) - Sweetie? - No, this is good.
This is good.
I'm-I'm getting it out now! I feel good.
I feel better.
Okay, now let's just go to the reading, so I can talk about how freaking great true love is! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Oh, dear, this could get dark.
âThere was a light on inside, âand his heart stopped for a beat âas he imagined Josephine there, just beyond the wood of the door and glass of the windows.
â LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Oh, phew.
She didn't yell at anyone.
WOMAN: All right, thank you both so much.
And now we have time for some questions.
Yes.
Iyanla, I get what you were saying about developing a relationship with yourself before developing one with someone else.
But is it still okay to want to be swept off my feet? Like in a big romantic way? Is it okay to want it? Oh, well, absolutely it is.
Who in their right mind wouldn't want this? (LAUGHTER) I mean I'm gonna need you to talk to me about this lusty cover.
SUSPENS Well, it was designed by a very talented artist who, um who (CRYING): who dumped me and broke my heart.
(JANE SOBBING) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Well, at least she didn't yell.
(GASPS) What a disaster.
No one even wanted to buy my book.
Mm-hmm.
Mm, probably to see if it contains signs that I'm insane.
Are you really reading Iyanla's book right now, Ma? I thought maybe she'd have advice.
She was very insightful talking you down at the store.
- (SOBBING): Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Oh.
I always say that lives fall apart when they need to be put back together.
(SNIFFLES) Mm-hmm.
(SQUEALS) (PHONE RINGING) Oh, great.
It's my editor.
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna have to tell him what happened.
Jeremy, hey.
You cried? LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: I guess he knows.
A little, yeah.
A little? Jane, there were audience tweets with the hashtag #SnotFalling.
This is not good.
- What do we do now? - I don't know.
Hopefully you'll get a good review soon to give you some momentum going into the Romance Writers Convention, which will be live-streamed, Jane.
So, no crying.
You cannot cry.
Okay.
I won't cry.
I promise.
I really don't feel good, Papa.
Don't worry.
You'll feel better soon.
That's a Papa promise.
JANE: You were right.
I feel better after a shower.
(BLOW-DRYER BLOWING) Mateo has a 102 fever.
Should we tell her? Oh, my God! My Romance Weekly book review is out.
Ah! Oh.
(CHUCKLES) I am so nervous.
Okay, here it is.
(EXHALES) âThe author's actual back-story, âwhich has been highlighted in promotional materials, - is captivating, certainly.
â - Mm.
âBut rendered into fiction âso many steps removed, âit falls much flatter.
âWhether it's the build-up âor the distance, there is a sense here of promise unfulfilledâ Oh, hon.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: I can't believe it.
I love that book so much.
But to be fair, her best is yet to come.
(MOUTHING) Thanks for calling, Xo.
Don't worry, I'm heading home now to check on him and I'll text you an update.
Thanks.
(LINE DIALING) Mateo got worse and you texted Xo instead of me? I was about to, but Okay, look, I know we don't always see eye-to-eye and it's obvious that you don't like me very much.
- What? - But here's the thing.
You don't have to like me, but you do have to respect me because I am Mateo's father.
So, get him ready because I am coming home and I am taking him to the doctor.
(SIGHS) Okay, thank you, Doctor.
I'll call if anything changes.
I'm sorry.
I feel bad.
I know this was an important weekend for you, but we didn't prepare for if he was sick.
I'm glad you brought him here.
I-I was worried, too.
(SIGHS) Why is your manuscript in the trash? Uh, well, I saw Patricia and she didn't exactly give me her blessing.
What? What'd she say? Well she blames me for Michael's death.
She thinks if I had just taken him to the hospital when he first started feeling sick, (CRYING): then he'd still be alive.
- Jane.
- Hmm? You know that it's not your fault.
It's fine.
I'll write something else.
XIOMARA: You need to stop looking at that.
I guess the good news is, is that after the review, nobody's gonna read my awful book.
You know what? That's it.
We are getting out of this room and we are going out on the town.
What? You can wear something of mine.
We're doing this.
Like lyanla says, âWhat you don't do can create the same regrets as the mistakes you makeâ Oh, please, Ma.
You've only read one chapter.
It was a good one.
(LAUGHS) Come on.
Let's go have a good time.
I promise you'll feel better.
ELSA: Come on! Hurry, Mommy.
Look, Anna died.
Oh, my God.
Anna, get out of there.
Very funny.
(ELSA AND ANNA GIGGLING) Girls.
(GRUNTS) What is this doing here? - Someone delivered it.
- Great.
Well, call Krishna and tell her when I asked her to move it, I did not mean here.
Okay.
Girls, stop that.
Girls, stop that.
- Oh! - Oops.
Sorry, Mommy.
It's okay.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
Let's just go down to the funeral.
Ah.
Look sad.
SAD VIOLIN PLAYING All right, wait here.
I have to go rinse my eyes.
Behave.
Ugh.
Don't let my mother get near them.
(SNIFFLES) (WOMAN SQUEAKS) Who's there? SUSPENS INTENSIFYING Hello, beautiful sister.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: I did tell you that she didn't kill herself.
You're alive? No, but it can't be.
I I saw your body hanging.
Th-There were EMTs.
Not real EMTs.
Actors.
Mother and I always be hiring actors to play prank on people.
A good example is Carl.
He is part of Orlando-based acting troupe, and he plays evil Disney villain in big parade.
He plays Now I'm trying to remember who he plays.
Not Gaston.
Anezka! I don't care what villain he plays.
You faked your own death? Yes, exactly.
Well, because I was being so confused about whether I should trust you or Mother, a-and I just not knowing how to decide.
And then it felt like fate.
I want my funeral to be epic.
I want people to weep.
I want them to feel sorry for taking me for granted because they won't realize until I'm gone how much they really love me.
ANEZKA: And then I realize I need to see who really loved me.
And now I see it was beautiful sister.
Still beautiful even when you is crying your eyes out over me.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And in that moment, Petra realized what she had to do.
I just can't believe you're here.
I was heartbroken.
Oh.
I'm just so happy.
(CHUCKLES) See, I told you you could trust me.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Wow, she's good.
She should join Carl's Orlando-based acting troupe.
And I hate to tell you this.
(SNIFFLES) Mother wasn't sad at all.
But you were always hating Mother.
Maybe you are lying right now to convince me not to trust her.
Really? ANEZKA: Oh, yes, that's who Carl played.
Captain Hook.
Anezka, focus.
Look, she's yawning at your funeral.
Maybe she's just tired from sleepless nights of grieving.
Well, she still thinks you're dead.
So I'll prove it.
Let me know if you want LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Ooh, looks like someone else went incognito.
To a higher place So it's good we didn't tell Jane.
Let me show you how to rock my way A toast to Oh, this beer is lukewarm.
Just like my review.
(LAUGHS) Honey, you have to stop thinking about it.
Focus on something else.
Adam? Damn it.
(CRYING): Oh.
Remind me again why he's the worst.
Mmm.
Exactly.
He sucks.
Men suck.
They think they can just spring things on you, and you're not supposed to react.
What are you talking about, Ma? He did? When? You just left? H-He proposed to you.
(LAUGHING) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And now to a very different mother-daughter relationship.
If you're not done packing in five minutes, I'm calling security.
I have one hand.
It takes time.
I thought you might like this.
It was Anezka's.
Ugh.
Why would I want that? Because your dead daughter clung to it every night while she slept at the orphanage.
Might be a nice memento.
You really have no feelings for her? If Anezka was stupid enough to kill herself when she finally had control of the hotel, then she deserve to die.
ANEZKA: Well, now I am knowing how you really feel, Mother.
(GASPS) You're alive! God has given me a miracle! Save it, Mother.
You would never make it in Carl's troupe.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And speaking of wonderful actors RAFAEL: Mateo's asleep.
His fever broke at the doctor's.
Just a virus, and he'll be better in a few days.
And I'm sorry for yelling at you.
No, you were right.
I should have respected you as Matelio's father.
You don't look so good.
Is that necessary? I apologized.
I mean you don't look well.
Oh.
I'm fine.
Except for the fact that it's 30 degrees in here.
Um You must have thought about marrying Jorge, though.
- Aw.
- But you don't have to feel the same thing, right? I mean, things with Jorge are pretty nice.
You guys get along so well.
At this point in your life, that's pretty good, right? Yeah.
Meaning that Oh, come on, Abuela, - you know she didn't mean that.
- That's not what I meant.
(SCOFFS) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And that's why I don't drink tequila.
Abuela, stop.
That is not what Mom meant.
She just meant that, at different stages, you need and want different things.
Ah.
Abuela, stop.
You're being drunk and dramatic.
You are! Mom is not trying to put you in a diaper.
Anyone can see that you're still young! Oh! And you know what young people do? Mm.
They dance.
So come on.
There is a floor and we're about to dance on it, so it's about to be a dance floor! - No.
No, no, no, no, no.
I am going - to be drunk and dramatic, too.
And you said this trip was about me, and I want to dance.
Come on! What is that? You can do better! Ay! (WHOOPS) Break it down! Oh! Whoo, whoo! That's what I'm talking about! That's my grandma, y'all! That's my grandma! Go, Grandma! That's my grandma! Uh-huh.
Your grandma ain't as hot as this.
Come on.
What are you guys doing? So you're not mad anymore? - I'm sorry! I - Okay! You're bringing down the vibe! Why don't you dance your apology? What? (WHOOPS) Yeah! Come on! Yeah! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Dang, Alba, those hips don't lie! Yeah! What the hell is this doing here? The delivery company can't pick it up until tomorrow.
I was trying to keep it out of sight.
And you thought smack-dab in front of my office was the ideal spot.
- Yes? - Put it outside the hotel where the guests don't see it and I won't see it.
Understand? (SIGHS) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS, TRILLS) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Huh.
Kind of confusing when they're both dressed as Petra.
I'll give them name tags.
So, how did it go? Beautiful sister was right about Mother.
She didn't really love me.
So I tell her to leave.
Mother is banished from hotel forever! (SIGHS) Well that's exactly what she deserves after what she did to you.
Yes.
So now I will be wanting to learn from you.
- Huh? - I know nothing about ruling a hotel.
- âRunning,â not âruling.
â - Yes.
I-I found this little show on the Internet.
All about rulers.
And they all be wanting to sit on this funny-looking iron throne You mentioned wanting to learn from me? Yes.
Will you teach me? So I can use my shares wisely.
Let's do it! ROGELIO: Don't touch me.
You don't want to catch this sickness, trust me.
I don't know how Matelio survived it.
(ALARM RINGS) Oh.
It's my reminder to apologize to Xo.
I've been texting her an apology every hour, on the hour.
Can you hand me my phone? Actually, I think I'm too weak to type.
Can you do it for me? I think you can skip an hour, Rogelio.
And for what it's worth, I think Xo should be the one apologizing to you.
Come again? When things got tough, she ran away, and that's not okay.
You guys are husband and wife.
You got to stick it out and work together.
That's actually smart.
I-I'm feverish.
I didn't mean it that way.
Can you tuck me in a little tighter? I've been thinking a lot about why we aren't as close as we could be.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: They look pretty close to me.
You were a ladies' man when we met.
And you broke my daughter's heart.
That was a long time ago.
And Jane and I are not together.
I know.
But seeing how close you are You are going on a book tour.
This is huge.
(HORN HONKS) ROGELIO: Sometimes, it just seems like a matter of time.
Which is silly, I know.
Hi.
I-I wasn't expecting you.
I know.
Uh But I read this.
My book? How did you I understand why you are writing it.
It's your way of grieving Michael and honoring his memory.
So you have my blessing to continue.
Really? I think you're gonna make Michael very proud.
But you and I need space from each other.
So I do not need to hear from you or hear about the book.
You stole my pages out of the trash and showed them to Patricia? Thank you.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yes, friends, this was the second time Jane needed a push.
I want you to finish the book, okay? Because I really like that Rake character, and I want to find out what happens to him.
How did I get so lucky to have you as my accidental artificial inseminator? No, I'm the lucky one.
(SNIFFLING) Looks like someone has Jane on the brain.
(WHOOPS) Yeah! (CACKLING) (WHOOPING) Wait, wait, let me have your phone.
I want to take a picture.
We have to document this, because, clearly, we are so drunk, we're not gonna remember this in the morning.
All right! Come on! Let me see what you real (CHUCKLES) Bright light fever.
Mateo was sick and you guys hid it from me? He was okay, and it was your book tour.
Mateo is much more important, Ma.
Of course he is, and Rafael was taking him to the doctor.
Which I need to know, because I am his mother.
I don't understand why you would ever hide that from me.
What's going on? And, of course, we understand why, given what happened with Michael.
That's absurd.
I don't overreact.
I react the way any mother would if her child is sick.
Does Rafael feel the same way, too? You should talk to Rafael about all of this.
Oh, believe me, I will talk to him.
- Slow down, Jane.
- No, I will not slow down.
Mateo's my child.
I need to know what's going on with him, especially in regards to health.
And, yes, I may be overly sensitive to illness because of Michael, but you do not need to protect me.
I wasn't protecting you.
I was protecting Mateo.
What? (SIGHS) Do you remember the first time you went away? And Mateo got sick and then we drove to see you.
(WATER RUNNING) Whoa, come here.
(CHUCKLES): Whoa.
- Hey! - Come here.
Okay.
Well, it looks like you're feeling better.
Can we ask Mom to be sure? Well, Mommy's in the shower.
How do you feel? I think okay.
We should ask Mommy.
Wh-Why do you want to ask Mommy? Because I could catch a germ and die like Michael.
Does that scare you? Okay.
Look at me, all right? You're not gonna die.
Okay? And you know something else? You're strong, like a lion.
I just didn't want him to be afraid every time he got sick.
I can't believe I did that to him.
I'm sorry.
No, stop.
It's not your fault you're scared.
And it's not your fault that Michael didn't go to the doctor.
Thank you for saying that.
You okay? Yeah.
I'll talk to you later.
(SHUDDERING BREATHS) (PHONE CHIMES) (SNIFFLES) (SNIFFLES) - What's this? - BELLBOY: Special delivery.
Do you want me to make up the swans? ALL THREE: No! He's got to stop already.
I'm texting him.
He says they're not from him.
(LAUGHING): He's mad at me for running away.
All these years, he (SCOFFS) You should talk.
You ran away from Jorge.
JANE: Oh XO: Hmm? Abuela.
¿Qué? LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Ah, love.
- Don't you cry.
- I'm not.
- I'm not gonna cry.
- Because we're 30 minutes from the Romance Writers Convention, which is going to be live-streamed - to hundreds of fans.
- I know.
Abuela, remind me again, why Adam was so terrible for me.
- What? - Ma! JANE: And so, yeah, with all the lusty faces I make while I'm writing, I can't, uh, write in a coffee shop anymore.
(LAUGHTER) Yeah.
I saw your meltdown on stage with lyanla.
It was trending on Twitter for a few minutes.
Oh, good.
(CHUCKLES) Can you talk more about that? - Hmm? - Like, wh-what's it like to write romance through heartbreak? Are you gonna write about the cover artist in your next book? Well, that is a two-part question.
First, romance through heartbreak.
I mean, heartbreak is a great place to start for a character, right? Uh not looking for love, suddenly it happens.
Suddenly feelings you thought were gone are now awakened.
As for whether he'll be in the next book, specifically? Every story needs a villain, right? - Go, Mommy! - Oh, she's nailing it.
That's my girl.
Now bring it home, Jane.
WOMAN: So, what now? Are you opening the door to love again? JANE: Personally? I wouldn't go that far.
But maybe a window.
(JANE CHUCKLES) (APPLAUSE) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: True, there were only eight people in the audience, but damned if she didn't charm the entire octet.
(APPLAUSE) Thank you so much for coming.
(CHUCKLES) (INHALES) Ooh.
Who should I make this out to? Patricia.
Sorry.
Hi, I, uh I didn't know that you were coming.
Well, um, I kept track of you.
A little.
And when the book came out, I-I got it, and and I read it.
And I felt Michael again.
And I didn't think I would ever feel him again.
He would have loved this.
I love it.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And, friends, this was the only review that really mattered.
Thank you so much.
That means everything.
I'm sorry that I said those things to you.
What happened, I know, was not your fault.
He was a grown man.
He should have gone to the doctor.
It's just You can't get mad at the person who died, you know? Yeah, I know.
(EXHALES) (QUIETLY): Will you sign my book? Oh Yeah! (BOTH LAUGH) (XIOMARA SIGHING) What? - You you what?! - What? Mom! (SHOUTS) (LAUGHING): Yeah! Can we finally take this top down and celebrate? (LAUGHING, WHOOPING) Yes! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yup.
Back to real life.
I'm sorry.
You were right.
I-I shouldn't have run away.
I obviously have a lot of work to do on being a married woman.
I'm still figuring it out.
And I'm sorry for who I was.
For my failings.
But I've changed.
Yeah.
I know.
But there's still a lot to talk about, you know.
So I've been thinking, I want to go to counseling.
That's a great idea.
You should go.
Not me, us.
We should go to couples therapy together.
(LAUGHS) No way.
I don't believe in that garbage.
But if you need me to go with you, while they figure out your issues, I'm happy to do that.
(EXHALES) Fine.
Let's do that, then.
Thank you.
(EXHALES) LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And in that moment, Alba knew the only answer she could give was No.
JORGE: What? NARRATOR: What? Well, I guess that window is officially closed.
Hello, beautiful sister.
Okay, first lesson.
Future lessons will take place in my office from now on.
No.
They won't.
What's going on? Well, for one, I finally finished watching Game of Thrones, and spoiler alert, turns out Sansa becomes very powerful.
What are you talking about? Beautiful sister thinks I am stupid donkey.
But I figure out truth.
You have been whispering lies to me this whole time.
You don't care about me.
Hi, Mommy.
Hi, girls.
(GASPS) Do you miss your Auntie Anezka? LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: To clarify Not really.
We hate her, right? But Mommy was crying at her funeral.
After we sprayed perfume in your eyes? You know what I learn from my own funeral? That I am all alone in this world.
And now that I know, I will rule things my way.
Look, Anezka.
You're right.
I don't trust you.
But guess what.
It doesn't matter.
Because once I tell Luisa that you and Mother gaslit her, she's going to get out and sign all her shares over to Rafael.
- I told her.
- What? I told her.
Only, not that version.
The version I tell her is that you and Rafael were the ones who had been sending Carl and lighting her gas.
That's a lie.
(LAUGHS) Yes.
Well, Luisa be not knowing that.
And she seemed very, very angry with her brother.
- What the hell, man? - Apparently, she really didn't order the casket.
Oh! LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And I promise you, friends, this time she really is dead.
Ned Stark dead.
JANE: To be continued.
Please, just read for five more minutes.
Mm, nope.
It's time for bed.
(KISSING) Good night, Mr.
Sweetface.
I'm a lion.
Right, Daddy? Yes, but that's our secret, remember? What was all that lion stuff about? Eh, it was a father-son thing.
See? I knew you'd get there.
We make a really good team.
It's getting late.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) (WATER RUNNING) (WATER STOPS) Mateo seems fine.
Thank you, a-again, for not calling me.
- What's wrong? - The review.
Maybe I'm not cut out to be a writer.
That is just your doubts and your fears talking.
You have to keep writing.
You are a writer.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Yes, friends.
This was the third time.
You need me to say it? Be brave.
Be brave.
Be brave.
BOMBASTIC MUSIC And, friends, he knew then and there, that he had to be brave, too.
