"Let's do this... by now you know" "Jane and Michael got engaged." " Will you marry me?" "Marry me." " Yes!" "Leaving Rafael heartbroken." "Also heartbroken?" "Rogelio." "See, he and Xo had reached an impasse." "I don't want to have any more kids." "Also at an impasse?" "Petra." "See, she gave birth to twin girls." " Elsa and Anna." " Like in Frozen?" "No one except for you would think of that." "But alas, she was having a hard time adjusting to new motherhood." "In her defense, she didn't have the greatest role model." "Oh, and speaking of tricky family members," "Rafael's half brother Derek was back in town." "And the question of the hour..." "Was he working with their mother, the notorious crime lord known as Mutter?" "Michael certainly thought so." "But Rafael, apparently not as much." "I think Derek's telling the truth." "Oh, and speaking of danger, remember Alba's first love?" "Yo soy Pablo Alonso Segura." "Well, Alba swore he was cursed!" "And yet..." "And then this happened..." "I know..." "OMG, right?" "Things are getting seriously biblical up in here!" "So let's get started." "In the beginning, there was Alba and Mateo in Miami." "And at first, the house was charmless and empty." "And Alba said...  _" "_" "So Mateo built her a porch swing." "And it was so." "And there was morning." "And there was evening." "And God blessed them and said to them," ""Be fruitful and multiply."" "And Alba begat Xiomara." "And Xiomara begat Jane." "Who begat Mateo II." "And it was good." "And then came the flood." "Sorry, not that kind of flood." "But remember this?" "_" "And thus, they would have to rebuild." "And so Alba, like Noah before her, said...  _" "_" "Ma, just because Rafael was generous enough to let us stay here..." "Ah." "Does not mean we should take advantage." "_" "It was too overcast to go to the beach." "Hey." "I thought we were meeting you at the house with the contractors." "Michael's neighbors complained about Mateo." "Seriously, who complains about Mateo?" "!" "_" " Can you blame him?" " He's been displaced!" "Ah, yes, the Great Villanueva diaspora." "Anyway, Michael's lease is up soon." "We were gonna look for a new place after the wedding." "It's just really bad timing." "Or really bad luck." "_" "Oh, Pablo, didn't know you were here." "You remember Pablo Alonso Segura, right?" "Alba swore he was cursed." "Jane and Xo didn't believe." "_" "You'll notice the tables have turned." "In Alba's defense, a more scientific explanation of events had emerged." "Long before Pablo arrived, a pipe at the house got clogged, which begat a leak, which begat water damage to a circuit breaker, which begat the power outage when Pablo arrived." "After the water continued to fill up the attic, until it could no longer bear the weight of it, which begat the ceiling crashing open which begat the great flood!" "And while that does make sense, well, it's the third doorknob this week, people!" "Okay, let's hustle." "We don't want to be late for the contractor." "Hopefully, she can get us back in the house very soon." "Yeah, you're not moving back in any time soon." "So, it's as bad as it looks?" "It's actually worse than it looks." "Infested with mold." "Oh." "Do you think I'll still be able to get married here in six weeks?" "That's cute." "Oh, you're being serious?" "Yeah, there's no way that's happening." "_" "Okay, I think I have everything I need." "You guys ready?" "Coming." "_" "What's that?" "The first Bible Abuela bought me." "I was looking for it when Mateo was born." "It's in perfect shape!" "_" "I am your savior." " _" " See, Jane, every time God closes a door, he opens up the opportunity for a much bigger wedding venue!" "Ah, we have to make decisions." "I've been texting with Lauren Conrad, and she says we are way behind in our planning calendar." "Dad, this all looks so excessive a-and so expensive." "People are loving Tiago and my profile's never been higher, thanks to my kidnapping." "So I'm sparing no expense." "And that is so generous, but still," "I just want, like, a small wedding." "But we no longer have to adhere to the size restrictions of the house." " 75 people, Dad." " Don't remind me." "I don't know how I'm going to squeeze" " my list to 75." " What?" "What do I tell the president of Mexico or Charo?" " Oh." " Oprah?" "I mean, even if I could get a hundred..." "Dad!" "The wedding is 75 people total." "What?" "That's not a wedding." "That's a game night." " You get 15 people." " 15 people?" "Oh, great, my daughter's getting married on the same day" " I lose all my friends!" " Dad!" " I can't reduce to 15 people." " You'll figure it out." "We can go over the list together." "We've gone over it already." "Yeah, but just to clarify, 'cause I'm still having trouble connecting a few dots." "So you find out your mom died, you decide to... hike the Appalachian Trail." "So you drove alone to Georgia." "What are you clarifying?" "You seem to have all the details." "Yeah, but I feel like you're leaving some out, pertaining to your mother." "_" "See, I think you know where she is." "What the hell?" "You're questioning my brother without his lawyer present?" "This is an informal thing." "His lawyer is in New York." "Informal, right." "Come on." "Get up." "We're leaving." "No, sit down." "You're not leaving." "Let me speak to you outside." " What the hell are you doing?" "!" " What the hell are you doing?" "!" "I'm trying to conduct an investigation!" "And my brother was not involved with our mother!" " I'm getting him local counsel." " From now on, you do not question him without his attorney present." "Okay, I can kind of see why Michael's neighbors complained." "I think he's teething." "Oh, I'm gonna try walking him." "Okay." " Hi." "Bye." " Hi." "Bye." "Bye." "Hmm." "Okay, okay." "Oh!" "Sorry." "Oh." "Finally." "The twins keeping you up?" "Hmm?" "Oh, the babies?" "No, no, no." "They're-they're, they're good sleepers." " Oh." " Yeah." "Uh, how does your family like living here?" "It's too bad the sun's been hiding out." "My grandma's never leaving." "And Michael and I are gonna go look at a place tomorrow." "Yeah, there's like a..." "I didn't realize there were so many charming houses in my price range..." "Petra, are you okay?" "Yeah, good." "Tired." "Good luck with the, uh, charming houses." "Thanks." "Hmm." "Okay, so clearly "charming" is code for "small and old."" "Mm-hmm." "_" "Take your time." "Look around." "A house has to speak to you." "Come on." "Pretty depressing." "We can't live here." "Well, a coat of paint, some plants." "It's got nothing on our list." "_" "_" "_" "_" "_" "Yeah, that list is not happening." "Not on your budget." "Yeah, got to be honest." "I'm falling apart here, Jane." "I've got asbestos in my bones, creaks in my floorboards, and a dirty-ash chimney." "You know what, yeah, this isn't really speaking to us." "Okay, let me show you something that might be interesting." "Oh!" "Two bedroom, two bath, actually within your price range." "Oh." "What's the catch?" "It's in West Miramar, about, uh, 30 minutes away." "I don't know." "Our lives are here." "Well, people commute." "You know, let's just go look at it." "It's a real house with a yard." "Go, Jane, go!" "Get out of here while you still can." " _ It should be noted that with every fiber of her being," "Jane really wanted to hate this house." "And it should be noted, with every fiber of her body, she did not." "_" "_" "_" "_" "The drive didn't even feel that far." " It really didn't, right?" " And with podcasts?" "I actually like driving." "I think it's relaxing." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Whoa, slow down." "Look, let's not beat around the bush." "I'm kind of perfect, right?" "My dishwasher, the swooshy yard." "And did you meet the Diaz-Goldbergs next door?" "They've got a daughter on the honor roll who babysits." "But can you really move" "Mateo 39 minutes away?" "I mean," "I hate to be all doomsday prophecy, but your baby daddy's never gonna go for it." "And as much as Jane hated to admit it, she knew the snarky wallpaper made a good point." "And West Miramar's only 30 minutes away." " It's 45 minutes away." " 39." "With no traffic." "That's over an hour for every pickup and drop-off." "And what if something big happens?" "Like he takes his first step?" "It's not like I can just pop over." "I know." "And trust me," "I wish it was closer." "But it has a yard for Mateo, you know?" "And-and we can't afford that kind of house in Miami." "Yeah, but I can." "Find a house like it, near here, and I'll pay the difference." "Before you say no, just... will you think about it?" "Like, really think about it?" "We can't take your money." "Why not?" "Everything's about compromise." "And it's what's best for Mateo." "He'd grow up in a nice place near his dad..." "Look, just talk about it with Michael and-and at least consider it." "Yeah, okay." "We'll consider it." "Okay, good-bye, Mr. Sweetface." "Mommy loves you, yes." "I'll see you tomorrow." "So Petra's back full-time?" "Yeah." "And is she okay?" "Because I saw her last night, and she seemed off." "She's definitely overwhelmed." " Yeah." " It kind of seems like she's afraid of them." "Maybe I'll check on her." "Just mom... to mom," "I wanted to see how you were doing." "Because Rafael and I are a little concerned." "And yes, we talked about it and I know you don't like to be handled." "I... don't really know what I'm doing... with them." "That is totally normal." "It is!" "Have you ever been to one of those new moms groups?" " Oh, please." " Seriously." "I-I went when I was feeling overwhelmed, and it helped." "Because then you see that everyone's going through the same thing." "Well, even if I wanted to," "I can't go out with two babies; it's such an ordeal." "Petra..." " Fine." "Will you take me?" " Yes." " Whoa." " Hi." "What are all those doing here?" "Trying to make the place homier for Mateo." "Aw."

"Turns out there are other people making a play for the house." "So they want us to write some kind of a letter explaining why we are the perfect tenants." "Yeah, about that..." "Rafael already said no?" "He just thinks it's too far." "Oh..." " He did offer..." " What?" " I already said no." " To what?" "Well, to pay the difference for a comparable place here." " No." "We are not accepting his money." " Calm down." "I said no." "I knew you'd never go for it." " Would you?" " No." "I think." "I don't know." "Maybe." "I mean, it would be better for Mateo to be close to his father." "I'm sorry, I just don't feel comfortable with that." "I know." "I get it." "I mean, there's always strings attached with money." "Like, look at your dad and the wedding." "He thinks because he's paying for it he can invite whoever he wants." "What?" "Did he call you?" "Ma, your room service!" "Texted." "Three times." "He's desperate for some wiggle room with his guest list, and by that I mean he wants to invite the actual Wiggles." " Oh..." " Apparently, they're very dear friends." "He also wants to know if Charo performs, does that count as entertainment or as one of his guests?" " Charo is performing?" " No." "I can't believe he went to you after I said no." "You just need to tell him to back the hell off." "I would, but he needs his space from me, so..." "Okay." "New rule: if we haven't met them, they can't come." "Period." "Oh... !"

"And I'll be coming into Miami three days a week for school and twice for shifts at the Marbella." "You know?" "So between me, Michael and my mom, you'll barely have to spend any time in the car." "Before you say no, will you at least consider it?" "Like you guys considered the money?" "Come on." "We did." "You can understand us not taking it." "Look, I know it's not ideal, but I-it's only a year lease." "If it doesn't work, we won't renew." "You're the one who said we all have to make compromises, and a year is not that long."

"I can't believe you're both getting married!" "I really gotta step up my game!" "Ah!" "Which brings us here, now." "Any silly games?" "Nope." "No games." "Cheesy songs?" "Maybe one cheesy song."
