When writing a novel, ohe author has to consider a point of view.
Will the story unfold through the eyes of the main character or an array of subsequent roles?
So why am I giving you a literature lecture?

Because point of view plays a significant role in Chapter 77 ofJane the Virgin.
Theres always more than meets the eye.
Xo isnt having it and shoves Jane out the door to go to her writers group.
Give it a new point of view and see what happens.
Before Jane can go down that path, Petra calls to see if Jane can babysit the twins.
Everyone knows that mommies are the real tooth fairy.
Janes face turns a wicked shade of crimson and she somehow refrains from stapling the twins mouths shut.
RafaelRafael knows that his sister Luisa holds the key to finding his birth parents.
What he does have is the deposition Luisa gave after she artificially inseminated Jane.
Of course, Jane takes the folder for a little light reading.
She learns a lot through Luisas point of view.
But she respected Janes mom for being so fierce in protecting her daughter.
Perhaps Luisa is there.
LuisaIt turns out, Jane was right.
Shes good and healthy and wants to know Rafaels ulterior motive for visiting.
Well, she did have them.
Oh, and if he wants any money, hes out of luck there, too.
She gave it all away.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief on that one.
Luisa makes her brother promise not to tell Rose where she is and Rafael agrees.
He does, however, hesitate when he visits the prison and asks Rose for help.
He has to give up Luisa in exchange for his parents.
The afternoon delight is going to have to wait, because this isnt a social call.
JRs mom thinks she remembers what the blackmailer looked like!
Unfortunately, the sketch artist reveals a beautiful drawing of Prince Harry.
Hes in my dreams, too.
Petra heads back to her office, barks at Krishna for breathing, and finds Jane standing there.
Jane cautiously explains to Petra that someone told the girls that the tooth fairy doesnt exist.
Spoiler: That person was Petra.
Jane frantically explains to Petra that Mateo was on the other end of that jerk behavior.
Petra promises to fix it.
Mateo doesnt buy it.
Jane loses her mind on Petra, who heads back to the Marbella in a stupor.
She finds Alba and learns the truth.
Jane wasnt mad at Petra, per se.
Shes grieving her mothers possible diagnosis.
Again, the point of view makes everything clear.
Jane lunges and Mateo freaks because his mom is wailing on the tooth fairy.
Is 20 dollars the going rate for a tooth nowadays?
Why do I have the sudden urge to find some pliers or a string tied to a door knob?
Jane thanks Petra for going above and beyond to help Mateo.
She apologizes, remembering that Petra didnt have the best childhood.
Jane forgets that Petra used to play the violin on the streets.
(Hello POV.)
This jogs a memory and Petra rushes to call JR. Could the blackmailer be her ex-husband Milos?
Hes still in prison.
So who else knows all the tiny details of Petras life?
Well, I didnt see this point of view coming Krishna!
She admits to planting the screws because Petra is an awful person.
Krishna sneaks out of a window while Petra and JR have a private moment to say goodbye.
She texts Petra to pick up her dry cleaning and reminds her to change all of her computer passwords.
And is JR gone for good?
The character she would be playing doesnt have a point of view.
Shes basically beautiful and has a heaving bosom.
Rogelio offers to adjust the script and motions for the waiter to deliver bananas foster to the table.
He lights the dessert when River isnt looking and the flame burns off all her eyebrows.
Lets just say Brooke Shields is a sight to behold without her signature beauty feature.
In fact, she made money after the banana fosters debacle.
She makes a big production pulling out the script and showing him notes.
Rogelio considers this a good sign on the surface.
In reality, River has an ulterior motive.
XoXo has done a really good job of being patient in the days leading up to the dreaded call.
As she talks Rogelio down from his latest meeting with River, her phone rings with very good news.
She doesnt have cancer!
She hugs a crying Jane and insists she head to writing class.
This all seemed very suspicious to me.
Why is she kicking them out?
Rogelio convinces River to join him and Jane decides to write a book about life with her mom.
ThinkGilmore Girlswith a Latin twist.
The test came back positive.
She has breast cancer.
When they all fall to their knees in prayer, I tear up a bit.
Heres hoping Xos point of view takes a positive turn in the coming weeks.
