"I don't want your apology, Mom. I want you to grow up."
Jane to Xiomara

Rogelio and Xiomara inadvertently become unwelcome guests at Michael's bachelor party and Jane's bachelorette party, respectively. Meanwhile, Petra deals with an unwelcome guest of her own — her twin sister, Anezka.


Tropes:

  • Embarrassing Voicemail: Jane recruits her ex-stepsisters to steal a professor's phone and delete an angry voicemail her mother had left on it.
  • Fun T-Shirt: Rogelio made cheesy engagement shirts with Michael and Jane's faces for Michael's bachelor party.
  • Gender-Separated Ensemble Episode: With Rogelio and Michael at the latter's bachelor party, Jane, Xo, and Lina at the former's bachelorette party, and Petra with her own subplot.
  • Irrevocable Message: Xiomara accidentally sends a strongly-worded voicemail to Professor Blake — whom Jane is already on thin ice with — prompting Jane to enlist her stepsisters to steal his phone and delete the voicemail.
  • Nominal Importance: Parodied and lampshaded. The narrator never bothers to tell the audience the names of Jane's bachelorette party guests because they're unimportant anyway. The guest that gets the most prominence, Angela, is named.
  • Wacky Parent, Serious Child: While this trope has always been present in Jane and Xo's relationship, it's focused on in this episode, as Jane can't fully enjoy her own party because of her mother's antics.
