Yes, and given how much the show invests in color schemes, the fact that she's not wearing as much blue seems tied her not being with Rafael or the Marbella.

For me it's not so much that he's squeaky clean as much as the fact that it's hard to square him with the Michael we met last season.

I think Michael and Jane's relationship has been most believable toward the end of the season; this episode and the one before it were especially good at making their little interactions feel like people who have known each other a long time and are secure in their relationship. (Shame it's not going to last!)

It does, and I totally think Rose is still alive, but I also think the face-swapping payoff is going to be Anezka, who will turn out to be not Petra's sister at all but a crony of Magda's. (Among other things, I don't think they want to keep Anezka forever, and that will make it easier to write her off.)

I'd settle for seeing them resolve the relationship with Michael's actual brother; the whole he-took-the-wrap-for-Michael thing is a dangling plot thread on a show that never lets anything like that go.

I like your amnesia idea! They're definitely not going to kill Michael, but something's going to happen to him/his relationships with Jane; Jane's point about her writing not being done and wanting to "dig deeper" was too much of a meta-comment on the romance in the show.

If so she did a great job messing up that one note—that's a genuinely hard trick to pull off!

I really thought it was a homage to Clark Kent!

I really enjoyed this one. Rafael and Jane's mediation plot was excellent from the very first scene, when he introduced the idea and she admitted it was a good one; you could see how both characters had grown there, despite their baggage. And I loved the mediator's line about being paid to be in it. (A close second to…

Only if you want the show to end!

Yes, and Anezka feels a bit too much like a stand-in for Petra in season one—someone to cause trouble for Jane now that Petra's relationship with Jane has evolved to the point of that no longer being plausible.

I'm convinced he's not going to die—besides Sad Jane and losing the actor (both real considerations), there's the more fundamental point that killing Michael would solve the love triangle when they clearly (at this point) want to drag it out. (I'm sure at some later season they will resolve the triangle one way or…

It would be nice if arguments in real life didn't following the same basic template, but they do.

No, the term "cis" has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It's purely about gender identity, and there are cis men who are straight, bisexual, and gay.

Yeah, and there was a specific mention of the brother not attending the shower alongside Michael's parents, so he is more than due to reappear.

I agree that Jane would choose single motherhood over a relationship of convenience with anyone, but actually Rafael dumped her. Then she moved on (or back, as it were) to Michael.

But Jake meeting Amy's parents could be a fantastic episode!

"…or many you're depressed because you live in Reno!"

"Room needed a POP of color"

First: best closing line from the Latin Love Narrator ever!
