Quotes[]

The Narrator – As you may recall, when we last saw our father-daughter duo, a river ran through them-
Rogelio – She's not a River - she's a swamp! She's worse than a swamp: she is a BOG!
Petra — Why didn't you tell me JR yelled at my girls?
Jane — I didn't think it was my place to get in the middle of someone else's business
Petra — Since when?! That's like your calling card! 1-800-NOSY

PARALLELS

  • Alba and Jorge start making out and stop when Alba sees the framed flower on her wall, just as Jane and Michael in the Pilot.

FLASHBACKS
