Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Before Justin Baldoni wore a lot of shirts on Jane the Virgin, he didn’t wear them Everwood. He looks the same now as he did when he was 21 in that 2005 episode.

When we last left off with Jane the Virgin, almost a freaking year ago, Jane (Gina Rodriguez) thought that Rafael (Justin Baldoni) was going to propose to her. Instead, when she got to Raf’s, not only was he there but so was her dead husband.

Wait, what? Micheal (Brett Dier) was also there, so how is someone we saw die, alive? Is Jane dreaming? Has Michael been taking a long shower? Was the former cop in the witness protection program? Was he kidnapped and he finally broke free after 4 years? What is going on?

You have to tune in to the final season premiere at 9p on The CW to find out. I can’t tell you how or if he is alive, but I can tell you will find out before the end of the episode.

If you are like me, then you have been waiting for like ever to find out how Michael is still alive on Jane the Virgin. Well, now we know when the final episodes will be back. The CW announced today that it will return on a new night, Wednesday, March 27th after Riverdale. Mark your calendars because you do not want to miss how Jane’s dead husband is not dead.

That is not all they told us, DC Legends of Tomorrow will move to 8p on Mondays starting on April 1st. Arrow returns two weeks later at 9p. Also during the first week of April, the new drama In the Dark makes its debut on the 4th.

On April 30th, The 100 returns at 9p. Then two days later iZombie begins its final season at 8p. I cannot wait to see what personalities they give Liv this season.

Last night, millions of fans of Jane the Virgin were shocked when fan-favorite Brett Dier showed up for the final five seconds of the season 4 finale. Mostly because we were all sad when his character died on the show and have been grieving him ever since.

What does his reappearance mean? Is he an evil twin? Was he taking a shower all of this time? Is it a dream? Was he faking his death so he could catch Rose? Did Jane’s father clone him as a gift for his daughter? Is Jane having a near-death experience and he is trying to convince her it is not her time yet? Have they all really been dead on the island (Miami Beach is an island) and he is coming to bring them up to heaven? We will have to wait until the season 5 premiere later this year to find out.

Executive Producer Jennie Urman told The Los Angeles Times that the season five premiere will pick up exactly where yesterday left off.

Now let’s talk about how long this plan has been in the works? Urman told the paper about a year ago, she told Dier and Gina Rodriguez (Jane) about her idea and asked them to keep secret. They did up until finale table read. The last page of the script was blacked out and once Rodriguez read her final line of the episode, Urman opened the door and in walked an alive Michael. As you can tell the cast was excited to see him.

While they screamed with joy, we screamed, “No f*cking way!” Which is what makes a great telenovela and as we know Jane the Virgin is that.

Now we have to wait 6 long months to find out what brought Michael back from the dead, who JR shot (I just got that. Wonder if that was a Dallas play along?), will Xo survive her cancer and will Rogelio survive River Fields?

Did you get that River Fields is a play on Brooke Shields name? Since a river is a like a brook and fields rhymes with shields. Pretty genius. But not an evil genius like what Urman did to all of us. To quote another witch, “I will get you my pretty.”

Now that Xo has healed from the surgery she got to remove her breast, it is time for her to go to chemotherapy to get rid of any of the breast cancer that might be left in her body. She tells her family that she is going to use cold caps (I never heard of these before this episode), which will lessen her chances of losing her hair. She knows it will be painful, but she is strong. Rogelio (Jaime Camil) is such a supportive husband that he will do whatever she wants even though he does not want to see her suffer.

When she gets to chemo, she immediately makes a friend. For the first time since she was diagnosed, Xo (Andrea Navedo) has someone to talk to that understands what she is going through. She and Donna (Amy Brenneman) do not let the struggles of cancer get them down and help each other get stronger and healthier.

Talking about strong, when Alba (Ivonne Coll) strong arms Mateo, Rafael (Justin Baldoni) lets her have it. The two of them get into such a fight, that it looks like they will never talk to each other again. Causing Jane (Gina Rodriguez) to be in the middle. Can she work her magic to get her Abuela and her boyfriend/baby daddy back together?

When it comes to together, it looks like the case against Petra (Yael Grobglas) is almost over. JR (Rosario Dawson) can see the finish line, even though Petra’s mom (Priscilla Barnes) has come forward with testimony against her daughter. Will the charges finally be dropped, so that Petra and JR can move on with their lives?

As they prepare to move on with their lives, Rogelio is trying to move his telenovela forward into production. His co-star River Fields (Brooke Shields), is a Greengo and does not understand how Spanish soap operas work, and she wants to Americanize it. In other words, take everything out that makes it so good. Rogelio tries to fight her, but everyone keeps listening to her because she is the bigger star in America. Will he be able to save his show and his wife?

I cannot praise this show enough. What they have been doing with the breast cancer storyline is more than awards-worthy (and yes Navedo and Camil deserve awards for their acting because each week they have been hitting it out of the park), it is also educational. Not only are they being very responsible with how they are handling such a sensitive subject, they are also showing us how each family member is handling it differently. Most shows just focus on the person going through it, but they show us how a mom handles it differently than a daughter who will handle it differently than her dad. It is about being strong around the person when all you want to do is break down and cry. Which is what I am doing right now. That is how good this show has been recently, just thinking about it is making me cry again.

Therefore, watch it tonight at 9p on The CW, so I am not crying alone. Thank you Jennie Snyder Urman for this show and this storyline. I will send you a bill for the tissues!
