The first 200 lines.
Our story begins 13 and a half years ago,
when Jane Gloriana Villanueva was a mere ten years old.
It should be noted that at a mere ten years old,
Jane's passions include... In no particular order...
Look at the flower in your hand, Jane.
This is Jane's grandmother,
Alba Gloriana Villanueva.
Her passions include God and Jane,
in that particular order.
Notice how perfect it is.
How pure.
Now, mija
crumple it up.
Really, Mom?
Shh. But this is so lame.
Mommy, shh!
This is Jane's mother,
Xiomara Gloriana Villanueva.
Her passions include...
The order is not important.
Crumple the flower, Jane.
Bien.
Now try to make it look new again.
Go on.
I can't.
That's right. You can never go back.
And that's what happens when you lose your VIRGINITY.
You can never go back.
Never forget that, Jane.
And Jane never did.
Oh, Jane...
We should...
I know. Mm-hmm. Mmm.
Stop. We should stop.
Don't forget this.
Thanks for stopping by.
Ay, ay, ay.
At least you could turn it down.
I was leeting you know that it was starting.
Eat your grilled cheese, mija.
Mom, she doesn't have to watch if she doesn't want to.
Of course I'm gonna watch. You guys got me hooked
on these things. But you really have to know
telenovelas have ruined romance for me.
Despite the cirumstances, there's one thing I know.
We were meant to be, my love.
What?
Nothing. Eat your grilled cheese.
Meanwhile, 8.2 miles away
from where Jane lives,
but half a world away...
Raf?
Babe.
You all right?
Yeah.
Yeah. Just... thinking.
Worrying about the hotel.
Look, if anything goes wrong,
your father will help out.
Stop.
Do you know who feels bad about taking money?
People who have too much.
That's better. See?
You just need to relax.
You're starting to seem desperate, Petra.
I do not blame you.
Your husband does not love you anymore.
You're wrong, mother. It's all right.
Tomorrow will change everything.
I still haven't decided whether... Oh, you will.
You will.
Maybe Michael's gonna propose.
My sisters say guys get all cheeseball before they propose.
No way. We have a timeline, all right?
I haven't gotten my teacher's degree yet.
We just merged our calendars...
You've been dating for two years
and you haven't boned.
He might move up your timeline.
Everybody decent?
Who are you?
Roman Zazo. But everyone calls me Zaz.
I work for the, uh, management company
that just bought the hotel.
So you can think of me as your new boss.
Pick a straw, please.
Pick one, keeping in mind there's nothing to worry about
as long as you're outstanding at your job. Pick one.
Which benefits us all, seeing that we have the same goal,
that goal being to make bank.
Okay. Let's see those straws.
What's your name?
Jane. But everyone calls her Jaz.
Okay, Jaz.
Congratulations.
You get the tail.
I can't believe we have to do this.
Do what?
I don't know, Luisa.
Raf, if you're not happy, end it.
It's hard. Petra stood by me. I know.
But that doesn't mean that you owe her your whole life.
Look, you've changed. I mean, of course you did.
If you didn't change, then I'd be worried about you.
And you know what? It's a good thing,
because you were so insufferable before.
Hey!
As your sister, I can say that.
I loved you then, I love you now and...
if you do get a divorce, it doesn't make you
our father.
Thanks, Lu.
Now go home to your wife.
Say hi to Allison for me.
Hey, do you remember a guy named Rafael Solano
when we worked at the yacht club? He was, like, a member..
The jerk you had a monster crush on?
I didn't have a monster crush on him.
We talking about the same guy?
You had a magical kiss.
Who'd you have a magical kiss with?
No one. I was young. It was nothing.
What was nothing?
Hey, I need someone to run champagne to cabana four ASAP.
I got it.
I'll hand out glasses.
You look familiar.
Really? Hmm. I'm not sure.
No, I really think we've met.
I don't usually wear clamshells.
Oh. The strip club on Biscayne?
Jerk.
Please. A toast.
To my husband.
Welcome back, babe. Oh.
Luisa.
Doctor's office...
Oh, there you are, Dr. Alver. You're running a little behind.
Remember you're covering for Dr. Peters.
You have an insemination in seven, then a pap in eight.
Um, yeah, an-an insemination and a pap. I got it.
Should I... No, I got... I got it.
Luisa, I messed up. I messed up.
I love you. I'm a screwed-up person.
She means nothing to me, I swear. I don't even care...
Nice to meet you, Ms. Villanueva.
Are you ready for your insemination?
Hi. Yes. I'm... sorry.
I'm a little tired. I'm Jane.
I usually see Dr. Peters.
Oh, I'll be filling in for her while she's on her...
honeymoon...
Anyway, um, I'm Dr. Alver.
Are you okay?
Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Um...
Can you... can you just scoot down a little bit, please?
Um, did you... did you bring anyone with you?
Here? No. Just me.
Ah, you're doing it alone. Good for you.
It's probably easiest that way.
Dr. Alver, are you sure you're okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, my God, this is so unprofessional.
I'm...
I'm-I'm... I'm just going
through some personal problems.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry...
Hey, we all have 'em, right?
Yeah, you know what? Like, if you want me to come back,
maybe I can just... Oh, okay.
You're starting. No, because you'd have
to wait a whole month, and that's not fair to you.
Okay. All done.
You should get your results in two weeks.
That's it?
That's it.
Good luck, and again, I'm... I'm so sorry for...
No. No, it's okay.
And I hope that everything turns out okay for you.
Yeah.
I didn't know that you were coming.
I had the nurse unfreeze Rafael's sperm.
A surprise for him.
That's why I didn't tell you.
You guys are so close,
I didn't want to put you in an awkward position.
Oh. I...
Look, if you don't do it, someone else will.
And I know from the Internet
that you can't refreeze the sample, so...
unless you want the sperm to die...
And suddenly, just like that,
Luisa realized what she'd done.
But alas, it was too late.
Jane's life was now the stuff of telenovelas.
Later, when asked about the so-called.
"Immaculate Conception of Jane Gloriana Villanueva."
Luisa Alver would say
