Jane The Virgin' season 1 recap: 'Chapter 2. How far are you willing to go for love? That’s the question Jane The Virgin asked of its titular heroine all season, and of its viewers as well. Fun, smart, and satisfying in its depiction of a young Hispanic woman—all while avoiding tired Latino stereotypes—Jane the Virgin was a refreshing departure from the usual comedic offerings. The jokes almost wrote themselves: Sure, Jane is a knocked up waitress, but she’s also a college graduate and aspiring author.

Then there were her relationships with her mom (the sexy, single mom with a serious streak) and her grandmother (a deeply religious, undocumented immigrant), and her crazy, soap star dad. And course, there were boys: rich, entitled Rafael and Michael, a detective with good- guy cred. And with all the high- stakes story lines involving batty exes, a villainous drug lord, first dates and heartbreaks, there was one constant that wove all 2. That is, the subject of love: how to get it, how to live without it, how to earn it, how to protect it, and how to share it. The series finale hit that theme hard throughout the hour, diving right in with a flashback to a teenaged Xo giving birth to Jane with Alba by her side.

It was a hard labor and given the choice, Xo would have given up. That is, if it hadn’t been for Alba encouraging her to push just a bit more.

And sure enough, with a final push, wee Jane made her grand entrance. She’s perfect,” exclaims Xo. Fast- forward to the present, and we see Jane making a killer grilled cheese. Xo is putzing around the kitchen, fretting over the possibility of missing her grandchild’s arrival during her short- term show in Las Vegas. Though she’s only going to be away for three days, Jane is full term and the baby could definitely arrive any day now. Jane’s acting totally nonchalant about the whole thing until she’s doubled up over the kitchen table with contractions.

It’s official—Jane’s heading into labor! …Just kidding! I knew nothing would keep Jane from diving head first into her sammy, and I was right.

She’s faked the whole thing just to mess with Xo. Within moments however, their lighthearted repartee turns serious when Xo asks about Rafael, who Jane saw earlier at a doctor’s visit. Sorry to say it, #Team. Rafael, but there’s been no change in their romantic status. I’m glad, because after the baby, it would have been so much messier,” confesses Jane. Over on the other side of town, Rafael is confiding to Luisa: He thinks that Jane has moved on. Which is really too bad, because at the doctor’s office, there was definitely a little flirtation going on between the two of them.

Is there anything cuter than these two pretty people smiling at each other all wide- eyed and earnest? Don’t answer that.) Though Rafael doesn’t seem to have a chance at scoring points with Jane, he is winning when it comes to his business affairs.“The point is, I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,” he tells Luisa as they’re seated in his office at the Marbella. With the influx of cash from the Maracay group, I can actually buy Petra out.” Luisa is skeptical, but Rafael assures his sister that he will “get her to sell.” Luisa’s response is one I wish she would have said earlier and often in the season. Just be careful. That woman is the devil in a pretty package.”Over at the Villanueva home, Jane is chilling on the couch.

Rogelio is by her side; he’s waiting for Xo, who’s getting together her bags in preparation for their show in Vegas. In all seriousness, wouldn’t you pay money to see those two live?) Jane is busy texting Michael, though in her defense she’s cancelling their dinner under the pretext of working on grad school applications. Someone got the memo about not rushing into a new relationship! However, a bit of teasing from Xo and Rogelio makes it clear that while Jane may have canceled their dinner, she can’t put her heart on pause.

She totally has a thing for Michael, and there’s really no hiding it. Jane may be a bad liar, but Rafael isn’t. His course of action to get Petra to sell her shares depends heavily on the power of manipulation as he pretends to be interested in her again. He’s really good at it too, eyeing like a croqueta he wants to savor morsel by morsel as he and Petra discuss the redecorating some of the hotel rooms. We need to change the recovery suites since right now they’re associated with Rose,” says Petra, who obviously loves the way Rafael is looking her up and down.

I agree. Let’s cut them,” says Rafael. And let’s also get dinner.”Petra has hardly had a chance to process the invitation when they are interrupted by Rafael’s assistant Scott, who says the Miami Dade hospital is calling. Could it be news of another cancer scare? Petra goes through a few possibilities in short order, but Rafael shrugs it off.

So, about that dinner …Jane may have canceled her meal with Michael, but a girl’s gotta eat, which is why when he shows up at her home with a bag full of burgers and fries from her favorite restaurant, he’s more than welcome to step inside. I mean, who can resist a boy who comes bearing food, amiright?) The cheeseburgers are satisfying, but so is their conversation, and Jane quickly finds herself confiding in Michael about the fact that she missed the grad school application deadline. Here’s one of the biggest differences between Michael and Rafael: Rafael sweeps Jane off her feet, but Michael grounds her, giving her advice and encouraging her to achieve her goals by placing one foot firmly in front of the other. He advises her to petition the school and they are working side by side on an email to the admissions committee when Jane’s stomach begins to hurt. Could it be contractions? I think so,” says Jane.

I’ve never had one, my stomach got all tight and I felt this pressure.” Off to the hospital they go! False alarm: Jane is just suffering from Braxton Hicks contractions, a doctor informs her and Rafael, who’s rushed to be by her side. As he should.) He leaves the delivery room to tell Michael that he can bug off and their interaction quickly escalates into an argument about whether Michael wants Jane back.

I do want her back,” Michael says defiantly. Are you going to do something about it?” Jane—who’s emerged from her hospital room—isn’t exactly turned on by the prospect of two cute guys fighting for her heart. Stop it. Are you serious? Doing this right now in the hospital?” And with that, she refuses a ride from either one of them and says she’ll get a lift from Alba, who’s in the hospital for some physical therapy. No sooner than Jane has arrived home than Rafael rings her doorbell.

Remember in earlier episodes, when she would light up as she met him at the door? But that was then and this is now: Jane is nine months pregnant and totally not having it, even when Rafael apologizes for having hurt her. You broke my heart. And now you’re saying you don’t need it and I should pretend that it didn’t happen? But it did happen… I want you to get out.

Just go.”NEXT: Jane sets off for grad school—sort of.

Facebook's New Watch Tab Does Not Look Like a You. Tube Killer at All. On Wednesday, Facebook announced the rollout of Watch, what it is calling “a new platform for shows on Facebook.” It’s yet another foray by the social media company from the business of distributing other people’s content into producing and licensing its own, and differs from its existing video content in that it looks a lot like Netflix or You. Tube’s apps. Watch content will be “produced exclusively for it by partners,” who will take 5. That content will be spread via channels like “Most Talked About” or “What’s Making People Laugh” categories that will be determined by how users interact with it.

Watch will offer both a live comment feed where users can interact with the wider Facebook audience—something that already exists with Facebook Live streams—and the ability to “participate in a dedicated Facebook Group for the show.”Here’s a few shots of what it will look like on various formats, as shown in the press release. It definitely looks slick and polished, but even this initial glimpse hints that Watch is not the You. Tube or Snapchat killer Facebook wants it to be. Facebook’s launch programming for the new video section is, uh, not exactly the A- list talent one might think a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars could secure.

It includes Nas Daily, a show from a guy who quit his job to make one- minute travel videos “together with his fans from around the world” (a preview clip is titled “We Bought 1. Burgers”); a live show where motivational speaker Gabby Bernstein will interact with Facebook users; a cooking show where children will attempt to make a recipe; and in probably Facebook’s biggest grab, one live game of Major League Baseball a week. Another show mentioned in the launch is Returning the Favor, where host Mike Rowe “finds people doing something extraordinary for their community, tells the world about it, and in turn does something extraordinary for them.” Yet another focuses on “the passion and community of big- time high school football in Texas.”There’s a few more interesting options, like a NASA science show, and a live Nat Geo Wild safari program. But none of this seems particularly edgy or hard- hitting.

It’s the definition of safe. This is the kind of generic filler that forms so much of You. Tube’s bread and butter—but if that’s all they have lined up, what could possibly lure people from You. Tube itself, which has long been pumping out much more interesting content tailored to virtually every niche interest and community? Facebook’s content strategy is almost certainly to prove functionality and its ability to drive users to the service, and then try to lure other content producers to the service. But like a number of Facebook products before it, it’s unclear why publishers would want to use the platform. For example, Facebook Live already allows publishers to stream content like protests or post- Game of Thrones commentary live to their pages.

They can also push regular video content wherever they want without an exclusive deal, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter or You. Tube, and all three of these channels can be embedded elsewhere. Another goal could be to compete with Snapchat, which lots of publishers have started using to push short- form video content. But it’s not clear how Watch will get those users to return by replicating some of Snapchat’s functionality, especially since the latter company’s video content tends to be in reality or unscripted formats which seem nicely in tune with its overall aesthetic. This looks a lot like Facebook’s attempt to push publishers into the same kind of walled garden they built with Instant Articles. Large sections of the media were spooked it was a prelude to Facebook choking off traffic to other websites—why would Facebook let you link out when they can force you to live in the garden, right?—but the concept has stalled somewhat, as Instant wasn’t driving enough additional traffic to offset its lower advertising revenue. Facebook has a tendency to build platforms it just loses interest in.

Instant is still around, but in a diminished role as Facebook tweaked its algorithm to drive users to friends’ posts, video content and most recently another story format to compete with Snapchat. In the past few days, it’s killed off its standalone Facebook Groups app and Lifestage, a “high schoolers only” Snapchat knockoff that ended up ranked #1,3. App Store’s social media category. It’s certainly possible Watch will help Facebook swallow more and more of the internet into its ever- expanding gullet. But supplying a nice- looking video platform does not automatically create demand, and Facebook has repeatedly stumbled to create a business model that will keep both users and publishers inside of it instead of clicking out. We’ll see. No word on whether Donald Trump’s “real news” program will get a slot, but we doubt it.[Facebook]* Correction: Wednesday, not Tuesday.
