Narrator: And friends, that's when Mateo said his first word.
Mateo: Dada.
Narrator: Unfortunately, he said it to the wrong man.

Jane and Xiomara are still on the outs. Petra adjusts to her long-lost twin. Rafael adjusts to Michael's increasing presence in Mateo's life.


Tropes:

  • Genre Mashup: In-Universe, Jane attempts a romance/spy thriller. Lampshaded.
    Narrator: You know you can't mix genres like this!
  • Orphanage of Fear: Discussed. Anezka's childhood was like Annie (1982), but she considers Mrs. Hannigan "nice", and her Sandy was a rat.
  • Self-Deprecation: The writers rip into their usage of the telenovela twin trope through Dina.
    Dina: Doubles are like, telenovela 101.
  • Write Who You Know: In-Universe. Rogelio's episode is a very, very blatant send-up to Xiomara and Jane's conflict, with the protagonist Juanita being an aspiring writer with a fiancĂ© named Miguel.
