Will everyone get their Happily Ever After?  Everyone has gathered for Jane and Rafael's wedding, but in true telenovela fashion, the road to getting there will not be smooth. Xo and Rogelio prepare to move to NY, but Xo is having second thoughts. Jane is 98 percent done with her book, if only she could write the perfect ending. Plus we finally learn the fate of Rafael's parents.  Thank you so much for listening to us during the past two years. JtV has ended, but we're not done with Grilled Chisme!

Grilled Chisme: A Jane the Virgin Podcast

5x18 &19 (Chapter 99 and 100 of Jane the Virgin)

DING-DONG, THE WITCH IS DEAD. Chapter 98 takes us back to the frantic pace of Season 1 with another Jane/Michael meeting (plus Charlie!), hilarious plotting by Rogelio and a terrifying encounter with the woman we love to hate: Rose!  Share your thoughts and feelings about the episode with us!  Email: grilledchisme@gmail.com Twitter: @GrilledChisme or use #GrilledChisme  Erica: @EricaCQuiroz  Nadia: @NadiaEnTejas  Music by Circo Vivant  Cover art by @ediththetacoqueen  

5x17 (Chapter 98 of Jane the Virgin)

Jane's novel and real-life collide when she suspects Mateo might have been switched at birth. Would Rose really do that? Have Jane and Rafael raised the wrong child?    This is Mars gets a full season pick up just as River decides to move the show to NYC as a gesture to repair her relationship with Pond.  After four seasons, Alba finally confronts Magda for her misdeeds, and sends the one-eyed, one-armed, peg leg Czech villain packing!    ALSO: What plotlines do you want wrapped up before the series finale?

5x16 (Chapter 97 of Jane the Virgin)

Jane has one last chance to get her novel noticed, so of course she's going to use one of Rogelio's crazy plans. Good thing her sidekicks are ... the twins? Speaking of Rogelio, he and River are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he and River get top billing in "This is Mars." It's time for some Darcy Factor real talk. Luisa has something to say to Rafael. 

5x15 (Chapter 96 of Jane the Virgin)

It's all just a little bit of history repeating, or is it? Everyone is distracted and no one is super excited to help Jane plan her second wedding. Rogelio is stressing about whether This is Mars will be picked up; Xo wonders whether she'll be accepted to nursing school; Rafael is being pulled back into the hotelier lifestyle to work with Petra and maybe his bad boy ways. Could a dealbreaker ruin our happy couple? BUT, and most importantly, Lena returns and has a big question for Jane: Will she donate her eggs to help Lena get pregnant!? ¡Que dramatic!  ALSO: What plotlines do you want wrapped up before the series finale?

5x14 (Chapter 95 of Jane the Virgin)

This is the moment #Jafael fans have been waiting five seasons to experience. THE PROPOSAL!  Meanwhile, Xo is trying to figure out the next step in her life/career now that she is cancer-free. Petra and Krishna's relationship appears to be as icy as ever ... but nothing is what it seems. And Rogelio is wearing an animatronic alien tail. Yup, pretty much a typical week in the lives of our favorite characters.  Share your thoughts and feelings about the episode with us!  Email: grilledchisme@gmail.com Twitter: @GrilledChisme or use #GrilledChisme  Erica: @EricaCQuiroz  Nadia: @NadiaEnTejas  Music by Circo Vivant  Cover art by @ediththetacoqueen

5x13 (Chapter 94 of Jane the Virgin)

OH.MY.GOD!!!! Rafael FINALLY reunited with Jane. AND THEIR HEARTS GLOWED!  After five episodes of will-they-won't-they Jane and Rafael finally declared their love for each other just after making a difficult decision about Mateo's ADHD treatment.  Petra considers jumping into the dating pool; Rogelio fears for his life around River and Xo contemplates her life now that she is cancer-free.    Share your thoughts and feelings about the episode with us!  Email: grilledchisme@gmail.com Twitter: @GrilledChisme or use #GrilledChisme  Erica: @EricaCQuiroz  Nadia: @NadiaEnTejas  Music by Circo Vivant  Cover art by @ediththetacoqueen

5x11 (Chapter 92 of Jane the Virgin)

Our characters can't seem to focus this episode, especially Jane who is balancing working at the Marbella, writing the pilot script for Rogelio's new telenovela, finishing her novel plus co-parenting Mateo.

5x7 (Chapter 88 of Jane the Virgin)

Whew! Our couples are going through it, y'all.
