If I didnt know better, I would have assumed this episode ofJane the Virginwas the series finale.
Most of the storylines ended in neat, tidy bows.
This makes me nervous for the actual series finale.

If the showrunners make these five seasons a dream, I might punch something.
If they make these last five seasons an actual telenovela, I might applaud them for being so creative.
And I would applaud myself for guessing correctly.
BOW #1: Goodbye MichaelWhenwe last left Jane, she had just learned that Rose had escaped again.
Luisa is in a safe house in Belize.
When Rafael suggests she get professional help, Jane listens.
This method comes in handy when another layer of uncertainty enters Janes world: the fate of her book.
The good news is that publishers are interested.
Jane composes herself and asks Michael if he ever saw the paperwork she needed him to sign.
He did, but he wants to meet her in person to talk about it.
Jane worries that Michael wants to win her back.
Rafael confirms that he thinks thats exactly what Michael is doing.
Luckily, Rafael trusts her.
She has nothing to worry about.
Well, it turns out Jane does have something to worry about and her name is Charlie.
Remember the girl who owned the land beside the ranch where Michael worked?
She was gruff and liked to point guns at people?
Shes Michaels fiancee and shes very pregnant.
Jane stares as Charlie explains that she doesnt want Michael to sign the papers.
He simply wont sign.
Its a family decision and Michael supports Charlie.
Suddenly Charlie changes her tune and gives Michael permission to sign the papers.
She just needed to know that he wasnt destined to be with Jane like the character in the book.
Theres one part they ask Jane to omit, although we dont see the details.
Michael also tells Jane that Rose is actually 51-years-old.
You would never know it thanks to the plastic surgery.
The two say goodbye and thats all she wrote.
It all makes sense at the end.
Again, another reason why this feels like a finale.
When Jane returns home from seeing Michael, Rose is in her house.
She is deliciously evil.
She asks Jane to call Luisa.
If Luisa misses her flight, Rose will kill someone she loves.
Jane calls and leaves a voicemail when Luisa doesnt answer.
While waiting on Luisa to respond, Janes agent calls to tell her about an offer for her book.
Rose threatens Mateos life if Jane doesnt convince Rafael to meet her at the party instead of coming home.
Luisa finally calls to let them know shes at the airport.
Rose and Jane change into martian costumes (so they wont be recognized) and drive to the party.
Jane passes everyone in her family, willing them to notice her and intervene.
She even tries tapping to reveal herself.
She and Rose climb some stairs in the ballroom that open up to the roof.
Jane reaches a boiling point and decides its time to be brave and fight back.
Also, good will always triumph over evil and RAFAEL TACKLES ROSE!
Distract the villain with a monologue.
Its too bad Rose has a gun and is ready and willing to shoot both Rafael and Jane.
Fortunately, Luisa bursts onto the roof and threatens to take a cyanide pill so the madness will end.
Luisa smiles and pushes Rose through the hole in the roof that leads to the stairs.
Rose somehow lands on a spike in the ballroom and then is engulfed by flames.
Sin Rostro has been roasted.
Now they have to get Darci and Baby to move with them.
Rogelio doesnt want to miss another daughter growing up.
He tries to convince Darci first.
She is willing to move, but she knows Esteban would never leave Miami.
Rogelio thinks he knows a way to entice him.
He will offer Esteban a part onThis Is Mars!
Regretfully Esteban is all granola now and into spiritual healing.
He has officially quit acting.
Instead of giving up, Rogelio makes a glamor reel of Estebans greatest scenes.
The move to New York is on.
Villains gotta vill.
This is problematic since Raf is working two jobs.
He complains about how he misses dinner and bedtime.
Petra has a solution.
Rafael should move into his old suite at the hotel.
That way he can be with all his kiddos and chained to his desk.
It is tempting, but in the end, Rafael chooses the real estate job.
He wants a little house to hold his little family.
They are whats important.
Does this include JR?
What we do know is that JRs mom passed away and JR is in town.
I think JR and Petra will end up together.
Im not sure I see her taking them along on the global tour either.
Rafaels big speech theme was family first.
What starts out as a respectable $10,000 ends up a whopping $500,000.
Jane is in the money!
Dolla dolla bills, yall!
Theres just one small glitch.
Jane has no idea her parents are about to move to New York.
Or maybe just buy a plane and be done with it.
With no evil villain orformerly dead ex-husbandin the picture, the possibilities are endless.
