![]() ![]() We end up with a pretty hilarious scene of “Super Creep John” (what I’m calling Jane’s drag persona) constantly trying to peep inside of “Rafaela’s” apartment, telling her he’ll never give up no matter what. The point is further driven home when Jane goes to her mother, who explains how she would recognize her actions more as creepy if their genders were reversed. Life isn’t all big romantic gestures, after all. It’s only then that Jane begins to realize that Rafael was serious about being done with her, and that perhaps Rafael recognizes Jane’s inability to always live grounded in reality. It is extremely painful to watch for both. When Raf shows up though, he’s accompanied by his boss and the interested couple, and is swiftly fired from his job for her actions. She ends up going overboard, essentially breaking into a house he’s about to show to a couple, in order to “surprise” him with a picnic (see: Big Romantic Gesture). ![]() Jane, however, takes this as having an “in” with him, a signal that he might still have interest in her versus just wanting to handle Mateo’s trouble together. Rafael, doing his best to be a proper co-parent, makes sure to keep the lines of communication open with Jane (despite perhaps not wanting to). One storyline follows Jane and Rafael dealing with Mateo’s struggles with reading, which means a lot of interaction between the two. While overall, the men on the show have been mostly respectful in their pursuit of Jane (and in Ro’s pursuit of Xo and Jorge’s previous pursuit of Alba…and now vice versa), this episode explores what it’s like when one crosses the line from romantic to full on creep. It’s an important theme to explore in a show that’s involved a lot of men pursuing women and guilting women and “ not taking NO for an answer,” and I’m glad they decided to explore it. One thing is to have a romantic streak, and it’s quite another to disregard how others feel because you want them. But Jane doesn’t really seem to know how to do that, as is exemplified by her hanging out outside his apartment and calling him constantly. Xo and Alba both give Jane some solid advice: back the heck off. What I mean is, she is now having to come to terms with her decision to walk away from Michael as well as accept (or not?) being turned down by Rafael in the last episode. Chapter Eighty-Nine, however, brings us to a new phase of Jane’s life: that of stalker. The point is, Jane’s always had the advantage of control versus rejection. She’s the sort who has always had someone pursuing her, whether it was Michael, or Rafael, or JasonMichael, or even that telenovela actor she briefly dated. 26 at 9/8c on The CW.As the intro to this episode states, love has always kind of come easy to Jane. More recently, she also starred in Lipstick Jungle, Army Wives and did an arc on Law & Order: SVU. Shields is best known as the child star of the provocative 1980 film The Blue Lagoon, and the lead of the late-'90s NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan.
