Synopsis[]
FINDING YOUR VOICE – When Jane (Gina Rodriguez) messes up at Mateo's school, Petra (Yael Grobglas) convinces Jane to help with the preschool fundraiser to get in the good graces of the preschool's director. Jane is excited for her first meeting with her editor, but he's definitely not what she expected. Rafael's (Justin Baldoni) girlfriend Abbey (guest star Minka Kelly) suggests moving in together, but Rafael seems a little hesitant and turns to Petra and Jane for advice. Petra is hiding a new relationship, but that's not the only secret she's keeping. Rogelio (Jaime Camil) is being sued after quitting his reality show and hires a lawyer to help fix things, but when the lawyer makes things worse he turns to Bruce (guest star Ricardo Chavira) for help. Meanwhile, Bruce asks Jane and Alba (Ivonne Coll) for help in surprising Xo (Andrea Navedo).

Trivia[]
- This is the last appearance of Abbey. This episode explores Jane's gender bias.
- Bruce proposes to Xo and she accepts.
- Petra tells Chuck the truth about moving Scott's bones over the property line to The Fairwick.
- Jane allows herself to remember falling in love with Rafael, and she writes about it in her novel. After reading it, Rafael tells Jane he wants to feel like that again with someone.
- Since he doesn’t feel that way with her, Rafael breaks up with Abbey, who gives Scott's collection of secrets on the Solanos to Detective Chambers.
- Mateo gets an aide named Alex.
- PARALLELS
- Bruce mediating between Xo and Rogelio harkens back to when Jane had to do the same in order for them to communicate.
- ALLUSIONS
- During Jane’s first meeting with her editor, the show goes meta on season 2B/3A, where the narrative slowed because the writers postponed Michael's death, which was originally supposed to happen at the end of season 2.
- The editor's surprise at Josephine's love for Rake, which Jane didn’t realize she hadn't conveyed at all, could also be a commentary on how in season 2B/3A, Jane almost acts like she was never in love with Rafael and constantly treats him like he wasn’t so important to her. In other words, it could be the writers' mea culpa for hyper-focusing on Michael and making him basically a Marty Stu during those episodes. Or they're not that aware of their attempt to make season 2B/3A Michael-centric, which in turn resulted in almost leaving Rafael behind, and it's just their way of reintroducing Rafael as a love interest for Jane.
- FLASHBACKS
- To June 2018. 18 months after Michael dies Jane loses her voice. Rafael tells her that he's dating someone. He also tells her that she should start writing something new, as Jane hasn't been able to write on her Venezuela novel about her Abuela anymore since Michael died.
