NARRATOR: Friends and foes,
Jane and Rafael were finally back together,
and the relationship was blooming.
Not blooming? Jane's writing.
So she decided to go back to a class.
The structure, having assignments... that works for me.
And speaking of overcoming career hurdles,
Rogelio was having trouble getting the legendary
River Fields to agree to costar with him
in the American version of The Passions of Santos.
- Probably because of this... - Attack her.
(GROWLS, BARKS) (SCREAMS)
Also painful, Rafael's family situation.
See, his sister Louisa left
with all of his money, and it turns out,
she was also the key to finding his birthparents.
And speaking of family drama,
Petra was being investigated for killing her sister,
and her lawyer J.R. was being blackmailed
into tanking Petra's case.
_
But now, they're working together,
and doing... other things together.
But OMG, the blackmailer threatened J.R.'s mother,
who has Alzheimer's.
And in other, terrible, horrible,
no good, very bad news...
(GRUNTS) (GASPING)
We took an X-ray of your chest to check
the rib, and we found a lump in your breast.
Which, my friends, is where we left off.
_
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Over the years,
Jane Gloriana Villanueva made a few trips to the hospital.
Where did you get your degree from, the University of Dumbass?
My daughter said that she is a frickin' virgin,
so do another damn test.
And each time, her mother was by her side.
Five more minutes of pain
for a lifetime of happiness.
He's gonna be okay, hon.
But this time, the tables had turned,
and it was Jane who needed to be there for her mother.
It's gonna be okay, Mom.
Just because it looks suspicious
doesn't mean it's cancer, okay?
We'll get the biopsy results in three to five days.
_
It's fine, we'll watch some old novelas, yeah,
- play cards... - XIOMARA: Wait. “We”?
Don't you have your new writers group?
Please, I'll start another time.
I'm going to help you take your mind off of this.
Me, too. I'm pushing my meeting.
With River Fields? No, you're not.
- But this... - You're going, end of story.
Now, listen to me. If you are all
hovering around me, I am gonna lose it, so...
EXHALA
We are not gonna worry
until we have something to worry about.
¿Entiendes?
Absolutamente,
We're not gonna worry
until there's something to worry about.
Bien.
Oh

LISA: Jane?
Lo siento.
I was just welcoming you to the group.
Thank you. Nice to meet everyone.
And telling them how you published a novel.
A novel that didn't sell well.
And I'm a little blocked,
so I wanted to get back to basics.
And-and JJ loves this group, so here I am.
Well, we are glad to have you.
And trust me, we've all been blocked.
And it sucks.
Ugh, I know. Plus, I used up
the one great story I had to tell.
Well, you don't have to stop telling your story
just because you've already told it.
True. Look at Jamaica Kincaid, or, uh, John Updike.
They return to the same themes, relationships,
even characters.
LISA: Exactly.
It's your story. If you want to tell it again,
you can. Just tell it a different way.
Maybe from a different perspective.
That's actually a good assignment.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And this is a good group.
This week, let's write about an event in our lives,
from the perspective of a side character.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Love that. Yes.
Might I suggest one of my favorites?
Girls, hurry up, we're leaving for lunch.
(PHONE CHIMES) NARRATOR: Ooh.
A text from her favorite side character.

Or should I say “side piece.”
Ready for lunch, Mommy.

Thank you for taking them. Raf's busy and I couldn't
get either of the nannies on such short notice.
See, that's because you only have two.
You should always have three nannies on-call at all times.

Mateo, your first tooth!

Yeah. And I'm gonna get money from the tooth fairy tonight,
pero no lo estás.
JANE: Mateo. You're being rude.
NARRATOR: Yeah, I'd be careful bragging
about money to children with two nannies.
We don't care, we're very fortunate.
And there's no such thing as the tooth fairy.
- What? - Of course there is.
She comes in the night, and brings you money.
That's your mommy, silly.
Your mommy is the tooth fairy.
Are you, Mommy?
Of course I am not the tooth fairy.
In fact, that's a ridiculous rumor
that the tooth fairy spreads
so that the kids don't go looking for her.
(SCOFFS) Yeah, right.
Es verdad.
Y os lo estáis tragando.
Hmm. See, the tooth fairy
has been alive since the beginning of time.
ELLIE: Not possible.
No one can live forever.
Yeah. Everyone dies.

Mateo, did I ever tell you about the time
that I saw the tooth fairy?

I know you're scared, Dad.

But we are not going to worry until there's something

So use those incredible acting skills,

I'll obsess about that, then.
Thanks, Jane.
Of course, Dad.

a little overly made-up to see her lawyer,
I'll remind you the last time she saw her.

Oh, because... (SCOFFS)
I have a meeting right after this.

this was for you? Please.
Why don't you focus on finding out
who's trying to put me in jail
instead of on what I'm wearing. Hmm?
Wow. Why are you so dressed up?
I am not dressed up, Krishna!
Why are you so dressed up?
No one's coming here to see the assistants.
I just dropped the girls off with your nanny.

Someone told your kids there's no tooth fairy.
Cierto.

Well, the girls asked me about it recently,
and I was honest with them.
I practice radical honesty with my children.
What? I told them not to say anything.
I obviously don't want them to be those jerks

Well, unfortunately, they are those jerks.
They outed the tooth fairy to Mateo.
No.

I was looking for records from the orphanage, uh...
They were sold?
Sold to who? Luisa Alver?
Todavia no hay nada ...
And I have no idea where she is.

Are you at the mental hospital?
- I'm here, but Luisa's gone. - What?
She checked herself out and she didn't leave any contact info.
But look at this.

Luisa's deposition after she artificially inseminated me.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Last reminder...
Nice to meet you, Ms. Villanueva.
Are you ready for your insemination? (SNORING)
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: In other words, our origin story
told by a side character.
And what can I say, friends?
It felt like a sign.
This might be the point of view I've been looking for.
My point is, this meal has exceeded my expectations.
Thank you so much for giving me a second chance.

Well, you seemed genuinely sorry in your e-mails...
and phone calls... and tweets.
And I read the script for the Passions of Steve.
Yes, and I'm just thrilled that you loved it.
Oh, love, that's a strong word.
Let's just say I didn't hate it.
Okay, I'll take that.
But I did hate the character of Brenda.
She's the worst kind of one-dimensional,
stereotypical female character.
I mean... (STAMMERS)
“Heaving bosom”?
And, oh, “Beautiful, but doesn't know it.”
“Effortlessly thin”?
Are you freaking kidding me?
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Remember, Ro,
you need her to agree to do the project.
And I will happily adjust the character
according to your criticism, River Fields.
You want a smaller bosom? Done.
And starting now, Brenda is beautiful, but she does know it.
And, of course, she doesn't have to be thin.
She could be a Midwest medium.
Go ahead and eat those fries.
Okay. Look, my-my point was,
she needs characteristics.
A point of view.
What does she want?
Well, she wants Steve to love her.
¿Qué más?
"Patatas fritas."
Okay, look. If I get the writers
to give her a “point of view”
would you agree to do the project with me?
Well, I mean, I'd have to see
how these changes are implemented.
But it's definitely a step in the right direction.

“The night before the insemination
was horrible for me. You need to know that.”
Actually, let's have Luisa tell it.
I liked that point of view exercise.
LUISA: But it didn't start out horribly.
Allison and I had sex that night
and we both orgasmed twice.
I mean, that's what makes this all so crazy.
Well, not the only thing.
Anyway, Allison peed so she wouldn't get a UTI,
and then she came out of the bathroom and said...
Lo lamento.
I don't think I can make it to your brother's party.
¿Qué? ¿En serio?
Well, yeah. You wore me out, baby.
Cierto.

Hey. What are you doing? Get in the pool.

LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Oh, sorry. Back to Luisa.
LUISA: It was a ridiculous party,
but I wanted to be there for Rafael.
It was a big deal for him.
And he was going through a hard time.

But that doesn't mean that you owe her your whole life.
RAFAEL: Thanks, Lu.
Now go home to your wife.

You're ruining my son's childhood.
- Jane, I hardly think... - He doesn't need
to be questioning these things at his age.
His life should be beautiful and magical.
The girls weren't thinking.
Exactly, because they're five,
which is why you shouldn't have told them the truth,
but since you did, here's a recommendation:
keep them inside for the holidays
so they don't ruin it for everyone else!
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Friends, the only thing worse
than having a sick child...

Thrilled!
The paparazzi photos
of me and River have made the gossip blogs.
My Twitter is blowing up.
This is incredible.
Just the kind of heat we need to launch the series.
Well, good. Go out there and seal the deal.
(JUEGO DE RINGTONE
Talk to me, Barry. Have you seen the Twitter love?
¿Qué?
No no.
Sí
Okay. Good-bye, Barry.
Rogelio, what's wrong?
River freaking Fields
- is using me as a stalking horse. - NARRATOR: A what now?
Barry said that everyone
knows that River is in town to audition for that new show,
- Confederate. - NARRATOR: Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
She's using my show
as leverage in negotiations.
NARRATOR: Ah, now I get it.
Aparentemente,
she's gunning for the lead role of Main Plantation Owner.
As if she could pull off anything bigger than
Racist Lady #6.
I just can't believe she would use me like this.
And to think that I was actually regretting
burning off her brows!
Rogelio, you have got to calm down.
No. She's gone too far. I refuse to go to the meeting!
Stop. Just take a breath and think before ditching River.
The fact that she was using Steve as leverage
means that she didn't sign on to that show yet.
So you still have a chance to win her over.
This project is more than just a job to you.
It's about bringing telenovelas to America,
about giving the genre the respect that it deserves.
So don't give up.
Go out there
and sell her on it, Rogelio.
You could do this.
You know what, you are rightig
I'm going to go for it.

It's the doctor's office.
¿Hola? Sí.
Oh
Ok
Si
Thank you, Doctor. I understand. Yes.
Gracias
What happened? What did the doctor say?
It was benign. (EXHALES)
I don't have cancer.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And, friends, in that moment,
Rogelio felt like he was blessed
with a little magic of his own.

We need to pop open a bottle of champagne and celebrate.
Yes. We will. Later.
But right now, you're gonna be late for River.
So, go! Win her over.
Oye
We got the call. No cancer.
Gracias a Dios.
[llorando
(CHUCKLES) Oh, Mom.
Oh
I was trying so hard to be strong,
- but... - Yeah. Me, too.
Now go, both of you.
I-I'll be here when you get back.
Let's have dinner.
And suddenly Jane realized...
The assignment was great, and I broke through.
Y ahora,
I want to write about my mom.
Nuestra relación...
Wow
- So no more romance? - Well,
it is a romance.
Of sorts.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And speaking of a romance of sorts.
Finally. What have you heard about Milos?
According to the authorities in the Czech Republic,
he's still there, in prison.
So he can't be the one doing this.
If it's not him, then who could it be?
Okay. Process of elimination.
Who would know everything that the blackmailers have said,
know your life that intimately, know about your past,

PETRA: Krishna? (YELPS)
You're the blackmailer?
You've been trying to put me in jail?
NARRATOR: I told you side characters could change
the course of a story.
I was hoping you would think it was Magda.
(SCOFFS) So you planted the screws
in Petra's office?
Sí. ¿Por qué?
Por que?
Because she's awful,
horrible,
A medias.
Krishna!
Mrs. Solano, there are...
Not now, Krishna.
What the hell is this doing here?
No one's coming here to see the assistants.
Krishna, go inside my office and wait there.
So, I just recorded everything she said.
Yo también.
Did you see that coming?
At all? (THUD IN OFFICE)
She must have jumped to the balcony below.
Looks like she left a note.

NARRATOR: Yeah, so maybe Krishna
wasn't exactly a criminal mastermind.
But she sure is.
RAFAEL: I need your help.
Why would I help you?
You're the reason I'm in here.
Actually, you're in jail because of all the people you murdered.
Potato, potahto.
I'm trying to find my birth parents.
Do you know who they are?
Sí, lo creo.
And I'll tell you.
In exchange for you telling me where Luisa is.
Luisa doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore.
She's moved on.
Then there's no harm in telling me.
No quiero.
Then our business here is done.
Good-bye, Rafael.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: And from one good-bye
to another...
I can't believe it's all over.

But the D.A. has to drop the charges now, right?
Absolutamente,
So, listen, if you ever get wrongfully accused
of murder again, hit me up.
¿Ok?
♪
Is it just me or does it look like Petra wants to be
wrongfully accused of murder again?
J.R.! Wait!
"Petra.
¿Qué?
NARRATOR: Maybe this is an epic romance after all.
You left your pen.
That's not my pen.
Oh
Just wanted to make sure.
I hate taking other people's pens.
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: I know!
Straight out of a telenovela, right?
Or a controversial premium cable drama.
Listen, River, I know all about your other show,
and I'm not mad.
In fact, I respect how you're playing the game.

But I'm not giving up on you just yet.
♪
LATIN LOVER NARRATOR: Aw, she looks so sad.
Or... wait...
Does she?
Te escucho.
Did you not get the part?
I got a part.
Main Plantation Owner's Wife.
The side character.
Hey, it's better than Racist Lady #6.
Even Racist Lady #6 had more lines than me.
Oh.
—Entonces, ¿cuál es el problema?
You want to play a side character or a main character?
Because I am offering you a co-lead, River.
And Brenda's gonna be a strong, impactful character,
just like we talked about.
Just like the women in my life.
It's a risk.
The other project is much higher profile.
And you don't have a huge American following.
Yet. But together, River,
together, we are unstoppable.
Bien, vamos.
Let me be the Nicole to your Reese,
the Laverne to your Shirley,
the Bette to your Joan.
(DRAMATIC ACTION MUSIC PLAYING)
NARRATOR: But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Look, the premise of The Passions of Steve
still doesn't sit well with me.
¡¡¡ESTÁS DISPUESTO!!!
to put your money where your mouth is
and make one big change?
River Fields is on board!
We are officially going to make
The Passions of Steve and Brenda:
the First Co-Presidents of the United States!
Xiomara? What is it?
Tengo algo que decirte.
Rogelio was about to go to his important meeting
with River, and I didn't want to ruin his momentum.
And then, Jane, you came in right after...
Mamá, ¿Qué pasa?

Lo siento mucho.
I lied before.
The biopsy came back positive.
I have breast cancer.
