Recap / Jane The Virgin S 5 E 5 Chapter Eighty Six

Go To

Jane's thirtieth birthday is coming up, but given her complicated situation with Rafael her heart isn't in it. Rogelio is disturbed that Baby isn't bonding with him. Petra tries to prove to J.R. that she didn't write a dodgy email that J.R. found on her phone.


Tropes:

  • Birthday Episode: Jaine has her 30th birthday this episode, with Rogelio throwing her a birthday party.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Mateo throws a tantrum and claims that Jane isn't his mother. To prove to the passersby that she's not a kidnapper, Jane pulls up photos of Mateo on her phone. The first one she finds is a picture of The Other Darrin (Mateo as played by Joseph Sanders, not Elias Janssen). Jane says it doesn't look very much like Mateo because it's from a weird angle.
  • Milestone Birthday Angst: Jane is hit with a bout of anxiety and self-loathing after she realizes she's about to be a 30-year-old writer who lives with her grandma.
  • Naked People Are Funny: When Jane comes back home unexpectedly, she ends up walking in on Jorge sleeping naked in her room, much to her horror.
