Jane: Why won't you give up?
Michael: Because I'm a fighter. You should know that about me. I'm a fighter.
Michael: Because I'm a fighter. You should know that about me. I'm a fighter.
Following Michael's shooting, Jane and her family wait it out in the hospital. Rafael and Anezka-impersonating-Petra deal with the investigation at the Marbella, but the cops grow suspicious of "Petra Solano".
Tropes:
- Call-Forward: In a flashback, Sam gives Jane a copy of Where'd You Go, Bernadette?, which Michael's mom had discussed in a book club in the last season. Jane had mentioned that she loved that book.
- Contrived Coincidence: Michael gets out of surgery just as Petra's paralytic wears off, and the announcement distracts the cop watching over Anezka, allowing her to paralyze Petra again.Narrator: I did say their fates were linked.
- Cute Kitten: Invoked by the narrator, who skips ahead because Jane and Michael's future cat is super cute.
- Foregone Conclusion: The narrator points out that the audience knows that Jane won't end up with Sam.
- Happily Ever After: Discussed by Young Jane — people in tragedies die, people in comedies end up happy, people in romance novels should end up together. She doesn't take kindly to the author mentioning that you occasionally have to subvert the trope, too. Also brought up by the narrator — if this were a romance novel, Jane and Michael would get their happily ever after as Michael got out of surgery. Alas, this is a telenovela.
- Hope Spot: Petra's paralytic is just about to wear off and Anekza can't inject her with a second dose because of the cop that's watching her... and then Michael gets out of surgery, distracting the cop just long enough for Anezka to freeze the chicken.
- Imagine Spot: Jane imagines her and Michael growing old together.
- The Mountains of Illinois: Jane's "take the kids to the mountains so they can learn about snow" fantasy is a little bit strange, given that the only mountains anywhere near Miami are in Cuba.
- Not Herself: Rafael noticed that there was something "different" about Petra when they had sex the night before. He thinks it's that they've become Better as Friends, and doesn't realize he was actually sleeping with Anezka.
- Spy Speak: Anezka and Magda talk about their plan through metaphor. Petra is chicken; Rafael is onion rings.
- Through His Stomach: Gender-inverted. Jane's attraction to Michael was exacerbated by his delicious soup.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Rose/Sin Rostro's is powdered donuts. Rafael remembers finding powdered donuts in the box of Rose's stuff, she leaves a trail of sugar in the hotel hallway, and she's seen eating them at the end.
- Widowed at the Wedding: Subverted. Michael was shot on his wedding night and the narrator points out that Michael would have loved Jane until he died, but he pulls through.
