Okay, let's do this.
Jane, you'll recall, was engaged to Michael.
And Rafael was married to Petra.
But then, Jane was accidentally inseminated
with Rafael's sperm, and the doctor who did it,
well that was Raf's sister, Luisa.
But on the plus side, Jane and Rafael fell in love,
leaving Michael heartbroken
and also Petra.
But things were going great between Jane and Rafael.
Until they weren't.
See, Rafael's father died,
and his hotel was failing,
so he kind of freaked out
and dumped Jane,
leaving her miserable.
Also heartbroken... Jane's mother.
See, she had gotten together with Jane's long-lost father,
telenovela star Rogelio DE la Vega.
He even included her in his one-night Las Vegas residency.
Only problem... Xo kind of kissed her ex.
So Rogelio dumped her, and now they're making a go
of just being friends.
Meanwhile, Jane was trying to focus on
what was best for her baby, and you know what wasn't best?
Petra and her devious mother Magda.
Magda, you'll recall, pushed Jane's grandmother
down the stairs.
And Petra lied to cover it up.
This led to a lot of tension between Jane and Rafael.
So Jane quit her job and decided to file
for sole custody of the baby.
But Rafael doesn't know that, yet...
- _ - Knowing Jane as well as you do by now,
it should come as no surprise
that even back in high school, she was a planner.
What?
_
What the... ?
Unfortunately for young Jane,
someone in high school knew her very well, too.
Oh, did you miss the fair?
Her personal tormentor.
_
_
You know, you really shouldn't leave
your planner lying around
where everyone can see it.
However, they say living well is the best revenge.
And after high school, Jane was living very well indeed.
- _ - Whereas Stephanie, according to gossip,
had dropped out of college.
So can we blame Jane for being eager
to show her that nice girls finish first?
_
May 9th, put it in your calendar.
Well, you are my calendar.
Just tell me where to be and when.
- Seriously? - I'll write it down.
In the new date book that I gave you.
In the new date book that you gave me.
But now, one year, two break-ups,
_
and an accidental pregnancy later,
Jane was no longer so eager to show off anything.
Put that Post-it back right now.
I'm not going. Having this five-year reunion was your idea.
You were on the planning committee.
Before I got pregnant.
I have too much writing to do before the baby comes.
And I'm not working right now,
so I need to make the most of it.
- You can take off one night. - I really can't.
I'm on a schedule... ten pages a day.
Can you tell her she has to go?
- To the reunion? - (scoffs)
I tried... she's crazy with this schedule.
You were supposed to give a speech, Jane.
I'm pretty sure the class of 2010 can live without my speech.
Come on.
Alex Mendez RSVP'd yes.
So?
So you had a huge crush on him.
And remember, you two were vibing
at the graduation party?
You two vibed?
You didn't tell me.
Yeah, because nothing happened.
And I'm not exactly looking to meet a guy.
We were vibing that one time, though.
It's Janet, right?
(laughs) "Janet."
Did he just call you Janet?
That's hilarious. (laughs)
Stephanie Kovakovich, one more reason I shouldn't go.
Are you kidding?
She dropped off of Instagram last year.
Which means she looks terrible.
Which means seeing her
will make you feel better.
Just like seeing all the teachers
who worshipped you.
- Aw... Mr. Baird. - Aw...
Jane, I can't wait to hear what you've been up to.
Look, this isn't exactly
the triumphant return I was hoping to make, you know?
I'm single, unemployed, pregnant.
I'm not exactly accomplished.
Okay, first of all,
you are going to have one of the best stories there.
And you're very accomplished.
You graduated college,
you wrote an episode for a telenovela,
and you were offered a teaching job
which you turned down to write your novel.
Come on, how ballsy is that?
There was a reason you were on the planning committee.
Because you wanted to go to that reunion.
So be proud of where you're at.
I know I am.
You guys are so cheesy.
Shut up, Lina, you're getting what you want.
You guys are right.
I'm overthinking.
It'll be fun.

Okay, Target run... which look are you going for?
I'll be giving... "accidentally sexy Bohemian."
Not that, but can you get me some lip gloss?
Okay.
- (cell phone rings) - Thank you.
Your custody lawyer. (sighs)
He just wants to know if I told Rafael
that I wanted primary custody.
Well, why haven't you?
I just...
It's not an easy thing to say.
I know he'll be upset.
But I'm gonna do it... today.
- _ - See?
So... here is the situation.
The Maracay Board is calling a vote in Madrid.
_
_
_
_
There's a push to sell off the properties,
settle the debt and dissolve the company.
Sounds reasonable.
It's not reasonable, Luisa.
I'm going there to change their mind.
Dad had multiple offers through the years,
and he turned them all down.
He didn't want to sell his company... it was his legacy.
Yeah...
that's a tough call.
_
_
You think so? Really?
Because, to me, it sounds like a no-brainer.
We unload and divide the money.
You keep the Marbella... that's outside of the Maracay Group.
Dad didn't want that.
Raf, Dad's dead.
We have to move on.
Respectfully...
I'm gonna let you two hash this out.
Bye, babe.
Bye, you.
Mmm, bye, you.
_
You see, Rafael had a calendar too.
And he knew it had been two weeks since Jane quit.
_
Two weeks since he had seen her.
_
Raf.
Sorry.
Look, I've been thinking about what you said.
- About selling? - No, about Jane.
And whether or not I'd be happy
without her, long-term...
and I wouldn't.
I mean, I'm not.
Luisa...
I think I made a mistake.
I shouldn't have broken up with Jane.
I'll just be firm with Rafael.
I'll tell him it's for the baby's safety.
Dad's here. Good.
You okay, Mom?
You ready to see him?
Oh, yeah. I'm fine.
Don't worry, I'm over him.
Rogelio and Xo were trying out friendship,
you'll recall... only they hadn't exactly tried it yet.
- Jane! - Hey!
- I've missed you. - Oh... Okay! (chuckles)
- Be careful, there's a baby in there. - Yes.
