Let's begin! Jane the Virginis about to return to the CW for Season 3, which means starting Oct. 17 we'll be on another relentless emotional rollercoaster for 22 episodes.
Before you dive headfirst into the drama, let's pause for a little Season 2 refresher -- and five episodes to binge this weekend to get you all set for Monday night's premiere.

Some girls get all the perfect men and snow kisses.Credit: netflix/the cwThere's some dead weight in this episode in the form of the Mutter investigation and Jane planning Lina's birthday, but that serves to connect the more important points; Rafael, still in love with Jane, rocks a gray v-neck sweater which will be the subject of my first book of poetry. Petra comes clean about her intentions: That she wants to be with Rafael and only got pregnant to win him back, and that she's terrified of being a mother.
Michael zips up Jane's dress and whispers into her hair and the sexual tension is why they invented 3- and 4-D TV; It culminates in a magical kiss that made me scream both times I watched it. The baby monitor becomes the ultimate deus ex machina when it catches Jane admitting that she's chosen Michael, and a crestfallen Rafael hears every word.

A tearful Jane calls it quits, which leads to tearful Michael and tearful all of us. The highlight of the episode is Rogelio's resurrected feud with guest star Britney Spears, even if it wraps up anticlimactically. Xiomara's past hinders Alba's quest for her green card and Milos marries Petra for spousal privilege, which only signifies imminent doom.

For all its telanovela tension, the storyline confronts two of Jane's worst virginity nightmares: first, rejection and later, her own inability to have sex without emotional commitment.
As if that wasn't enough painful realism, Xo and Ro break up definitively, no longer able to ignore the insurmountable conflict that he wants kids and she doesn't. Jane and Michael get back together againand if you are sensing a pattern in these episodes you are not wrong.
An unlikely trio welcome babies Anna and Elsa into the world.Credit: netflix/the cwRafael rediscovers his bad-boy roots with meaningless (and extremely safe) sexual encounters to balm the emotionally stripped scabs of his love for Jane. Meanwhile, Jane keeps flashing to a Sliding Doorsparallel universe in which she's married to Michael and Rafael is the perfect platonic baby daddy. Michael proposes at the end, paving the way for a second chance at happiness for the two of them.
AT THE SAME TIME, Rogelio goes method to convince his stalker-turned-captor that he's loving and compliant. Xiomara feels hopelessly betrayed when she learned that her mother had sex before marriage, because Alba spent years making her daughter feel like sex signified loose morals, but they talk it through and Alba opens up about the enigmatic Pablo Alonso Segura. Petra goes into labor, which leads to a lot of unlikely bonding between her and Jane, a nice counter to the crime-fighting alliance that is Rafael and Michael.
IS LOVE REAL???!?Credit: netflix/the cwThis crazy-pants-bonkers-bananas finale had everything: A chase, a wedding, multiple medical emergencies, broken hearts and Bruno Mars (for my full 1100 word recap, click here). Rafael finally lets Jane go, Anezka lands her sister in the hospital, Xiomara is pregnant, and Rose is not only alive but shot a certain detectivebefore his wedding night.
Where on earth do we go from here? Can our hearts even handle it?? CAN MICHAEL'S HEART HANDLE IT?
Stay tuned. Jane the Virginreturns for Season 3 on Oct. 17.
