Tonight at 9p, Jane the Virgin is a must watch on The CW. It is the perfect amount of laugh and tears, and not for the reasons you think.
Last week, when the show left off, a doctor told Xo (Andrea Navedo) that they found a lump in her breast. This week, she and her family wait for the results of the biopsy. Each of them deal with it in their own way. Xo remains as strong as she can, but she is also very nervous. At one point, her thoughts gets the worst of her and she calls her mom (Ivonne Coll) to come over. This is a normal reaction, and the shows handles it very well.
Her husband, Rogelio (Jaime Camil) tells their daughter, Jane (Gina Rodriquez), he is scared. But he does not show Xo how he feels. Good thing he is busy trying to get River Fields (Brooke Shields) to do his show. She will keep him very busy, especially when he finds another way to disfigure her. Wait until you see how.
Jane is really worried about her mom and starts taking her fear out as anger on other people. Especially when Petra’s (Yael Grobglas) daughters tell Mateo that the Tooth Fairy is not real. Jane loses it with Petra and she does not know why. Is there any way Petra can make it up to Jane and Mateo?
Petra has her own problems, she still does not know is framing her for her sister’s murder. JR’s (Rosario Dawson) mom gives them a clue, but is it one that will finally solve this mystery? And talking about mysteries, what is going on with Petra and JR’s relationship after last week’s more than a kiss?
And then there is Rafael (Justin Baldoni) who is having his own family problems. He needs to find his sister, so that he can find his mom. Only problem is Luisa (Yara Martinez) does not want to be found. Will he be able to find her? Tonight, we learn what was happening to Luisa when she accidentally inseminated Jane with Rafael’s baby. Taking it back to season 1.
And talking about finding things out, by the end of the episode we will find out if Xo has cancer or not.
It is amazing that they fit all of that into an hour, but they did. They gave us an award winning episode that shows us what family members go through when one of them is waiting to find out if they have cancer. It is an important episode just for that, but there are also some bonus moments that will make you laugh and cry and laugh some more.
In other words, watch it!
