Jane the Failure
"In fact, I made a vision board. I intend to raise a strong, self-reliant, intelligent daughter. Just like Jane."
— Rogelio
Jane and Rafael try to figure out their new relationship. Jane is dropped by her publisher and struggles to move forward with her writing. Rogelio gets used to being a stay-at-home dad.
Tropes:
- Fanservice: The Fifty Shades of Grey fantasy between Jane and Rafael.
- Japandering: Rogelio does a kitschy Japanese laxative commercial to pay the bills.
- House Husband: Rogelio tries to play the role of a stay-at-home support system, but he doesn't take too well to it. #RogelioDeLaBettyDraper
- In Vino Veritas: Petra breaks down crying about her family's issues and her beef with Jane after some alcohol.
- Road Apples: Baby lands some poop on Rogelio.
- Shipper on Deck: Mateo is absolutely ecstatic about Jane and Rafael possibly getting together, and the uncertainty over it translates into anxiety at school. Justified since he's a small boy happy at the thought of his parents getting together and forming a family unit.
- Shout-Out: To Law & Order, which Jane Ramos tells Petra not to trust. The camera zooms in to characters similar to that show.
- Self-Deprecation:Jane Ramos: Never trust television writers. They just build things up for the sake of drama.
Narrator: Which reminds me... who is Jane Ramos working for? [Law & Order zoom-in] - Take That!: Petra hates Ivanka Trump.
- Writer's Block: Jane struggles with it in this episode, because she doesn't know what to pitch for her agent.
