Heres a roadmap on how to adapt.
No ones gloomy or complaining.
There are a few tears, because duh, Jane must cry at least twice per episode.
Could she be in a coma?
Is there a lining for that?
Magda wakes up and wreaks havoc on the hospital staff.
The doctor calls Petra for backup.
She gives them permission to pull the plug.
Clearly, since Magda is currently tossing bedpans at the nurses, there is no plug to pull.
Petra receives a second call from the doctor later.
Magda has taken a turn for the worse after a leg amputation.
Lo and behold, Petra is given full permission to pull the plug.
Rafael and Jane offer moral support as Petra summons the courage to do it.
Her mother was a horrible person, which trickled down into Petras DNA and her twins.
She wants Magda to be in a better place.
Petra grasps at her silver lining, trying to pull the plug, but the machines start beeping.
(So close, Petra.
Everyone loves it, including her agent Marlene, who sends it to her friend/lover/publisher Jill to read.
Days later,Jane pops into Petras office.
She needs a distraction from waiting around to hear from Jill.
Petra has the perfect answer.
She wants Jane to take the twins for a few hours.
Jane is ready, able, and willing.
Jane made a vow to see to it the girls felt equally accepted and loved as Mateo.
Shes taking on her future role as stepmother with enthusiasm only Jane can bring.
They want 20 minutes of iPad time, which is on the strictly forbidden list.
The girls accept Janes refusal and dismiss themselves to their bedroom.
Where they play with their iPads.
Before Jane punishes them by taking away their screens, she receives a call from her editor.
Jill passed and will not be representing Janes work.
Jane is going to send her manuscript to everyone else.
Well, there is a problem, but with another situation that needs a silver lining.
Jane tells Petra about the girls iPads and Petra punishes them even though Jane asked her not to tell.
The next time Jane keeps the twins, shes labeled a wicked stepmother.
Fortunately, Rogelio has a silver lining.
Jane must put her manuscript on the agents desk.
She cant rely on the envelope sneaking by the red tape known as assistants.
Its simple, really.
Jane will pose as a delivery person.
When she reaches the floor, she will slip her manuscript into the box of other manuscripts.
She grabs them, takes them to the office building with her, and is immediately stopped by security.
This is the moment the twins reflect that silver lining and shine.
They act like spoiled brats, claiming their mother works in the building and that Jane is their nanny.
Jane is thrilled and also mortified.
Great job, but lets not lie anymore, okay?
Its too bad the escapade was all for nothing.
The agent passes and Jane falls to pieces.
As she cries in Rafaels arms, she hears Mateo reading Janes manuscript.
Mateo found something he likes to read!
Fast forward to Jane standing in the hospital waiting room with Petra and Rafael.
Before they go in to (not) pull Magdas plug, Jane gets a phone call.
A really big agent wants to represent her.
People love the parts with young Steve and young Brenda.
Hes worried that he and River will eventually be edited out of the series.
He decides to ask the film editor to stay late so he and River can make their performances pop.
Rogelio calls Darci, asking her to keep Baby one more night.
They spend the next dozen hours working and are thrilled with their new cut.
Which is where they watch the new pilots.
Rogelio develops another elaborate plan for his own infiltration into the networks remote lodge in the middle of nowhere.
Rogelio tries to buy one more Baby-less day.
Darci stops him mid-sentence and reminds him how many times hes blown off his daughter lately.
He must prioritize her like he does his work.
This news cuts Rogelio to the core.
He calls River and asks her to wade the swamp without him.
Rogelio searches for the silver lining and immediately tells River that hes okay if his part becomes smaller.
Hes cool with being the standout cameo character everyone looks forward to.
After accusing Rogelio of having a stroke, Rivers face softens.
She admires Rogelio for taking time off to spend with his family.
Then she admits that Girl Rudy is actually her daughter and that their relationship is rocky at best.
Rogelio promises to help reconnect them in the future.
Lets all slow clap for Girl Rudy.
Silver Lining #4 Sin RosoBobby and Luisa are up to no good.
For some reason, Bobby wants Luisa to steal a tie tack that once belonged to her father.
She starts by asking Rafael for it.
He knows that if Luisa wants something, its because Rose has asked for it.
He tells his sister that hes taking the tie tack directly to the police.
Bobby is able to see Rafael punch in the code to get inside the safe.
When he leaves, Bobby and Luisa go inside to steal what Rose is really looking for.
It turns out, dear old dads watch has a secret compartment that holds a duplicate of his fingerprint.
This fingerprint opens a vault that is full of stacks and stacks of money.
By the way, that room of six people all share Sin Rostros face.
Its quite the silver lining, would you say?
