Of course, after making the decision to take the leap, Jane immediately starts to doubt herself.
She cant be away from Mateo for three days.
Hes in a dark place.

And more importantly, what will she wear?
Janes wardrobe does not scream ranch-friendly.
Its Xo and Rogelio to the rescue!
Montana, here she comes!
Michael swings by to pick Jane up and is surprised to see so much luggage for one small trip.
One flight, one taxi, and nine hours later, Jane sheepishly apologizes to Michael.
Three hours and four counties later, Jane and Michael are well on their way to civilization.
Or so Jane thought.
How many bumps in the road is this?
Jane scans Michaels one-bedroom abode.
The tiny twin bed, couch, and fireplace feel very primitive.
Maybe she should have packed herLittle House on the Prairiebonnet.
Wheres Pa and Ma?
She wakes up three hours later with the roosters.
She walks out of the cabin into a wilderness wonderland.
Perhaps living for a few days in a picturesque postcard wont be that bad.
Michael suggests they have a picnic.
It seems Charlie is not a fan of Michael.
Jane finds this hilarious.
Its like shes living in a telenovela!
Well, more than usual.
He demands that Michael get back to work immediately if he wants to earn his keep.
She is here to help.
I assume Janes answer would have been different if she knew that Michaels chores included mucking stalls.
Thats raking up horse poop for those of you who didnt grow up around barns.
Naturally a whimsical straw fight breaks out that concludes with Jane landing in a wheelbarrow of manure.
Obviously, Jane needs to take a shower.
Obviously, the only shower is an outdoor one.
And obviously, by shower I mean a pull rope with a bucket of water.
Unfortunately, Jane is too short to both pull the rope and stand under the stream of cold water.
So she has to enlist the help of her former dead husband to help out.
Although he doesnt look, you might tell there are some sparks.
Everyone gathers around the campfire and Jane meets Keith, Michaels right-hand man.
Spoiler: Keith is hot and I support the CW letting him star in a cowboy show.
Ill start a letter writing campaign today.
Around the fire, Jane shares character traits ofthe old Michael.
She snaps out of it and rushes off to the woods which is code for the bathroom.
She tries to call Xo, but alas, no service.
Meanwhile, Rick gives Michael an ultimatum.
He has to choose to stay here without Jane or live with her in Miami.
Rick can clearly see that theres no way Jane is going to stay in Montana.
He has 48-hours to decide.
The next morning, Jane and Michael head out to mend a fence.
Later, Michael notices that Janes horse is skittish, which means that the rider is agitated.
Now that her horse has outed her, Jane comes clean.
She wants to know why Michael didnt tell her about the ultimatum?
Michael didnt want to add any pressure to the weekend.
What if they do some long distance dating?
Michael is certainly willing to figure out that new fangled FaceTime thing.
The jurys still out if hes willing to spring for the Internet connection hell need to actually use it.
Jane zones out for a second time, thinking about how happy Mateo would be with his own horse.
When Michael calls her name, she shakes her head, knowing that what shes feeling is guilt.
She hates what shes doing to Rafael.
He came back from the dead.
There is no instruction manual on this.
The best way to get through the awkwardness is to mend a fence.
Michael is super impressed with Janes ability to manipulate barbed wire.
His admiration is short-lived when Ricks very expensive bull waltzes through the open part of the fence.
Michael flawlessly hops up onto his horse to collect the bull.
Jane follows behind on her own horse, holding on for dear life.
This is when Jane offers to lasso the bull.
Jane finds Rocky behind a bush and is pleasantly surprised when she lassos him on her first try.
Regrettably, she finds a woman sitting on top of a horse at the other end of her rope.
Guess whose name is Charlie?
Jane tries to talk her way out of Charlie shooting her while insisting that Michael isnt a terrible person.
She begs Charlie to let her go and help her catch Rocky so Michael wont lose his job.
PS: This is a last-ditch effort at their love story.
She doesnt want to ruin true romance, does she?
Jane doesnt take credit for roping the bull.
She praises Charlie, adding that she was happy to help Jane.
Michael smiles and begins setting up camp.
Its too dark to head back to the cabins now.
They will have to sleep on the ground.
While the two lay down on their backs gazing at the stars, Jane and Michael finally get real.
Jane wants to know if Michael could ever call Miami home after living in Montana.
Michael deflects by telling Jane hes happy to be there with her.
Jane wonders out loud if this is who Michael really is underneath it all.
Instead of a detective, was he always a cowboy down deep who liked the quiet?
Michael answers by saying, Its hard to figure out who I am now.
Michael makes a joke, pretending to remember that Jane always loved camping.
When Jane playfully smacks him on the shoulder, he adds, Oh that must have been another lady.
They laugh and Jane puts her hand on his chest.
Michael grabs her hand in his and then they share a very soft, sweet kiss.
And I am done.
The next morning, Jane and Michael wake up to an angry Charlie pointing a gun at them.
She calls Michael a thief and threatens to shoot him.
Heres what we know: Charlie needs therapy.
Jane talks her off the ledge by spouting off all of Michaels amazing attributes.
When she agrees to replace the chickens Charlie thinks Michael stole in exchange for Charlie not shooting them.
Charlie leaves to, presumably, go buy some more bullets.
Michael is overwhelmed that Jane said so many nice things.
He realizes at that moment that he doesnt want to stay in Montana without Jane.
He doesnt want to do long distance.
And standing there in the silence of Montana, Jane knows what she had to do.
She goes inside the cabin and tells Michael that the guilt shes been feeling toward Rafael is actually love.
Shes still in love with him and thats not going to change.
The moment with Michael has passed.
As she makes her way back to Rafaels house.
As she makes her way back into his life.
I dont know what to feel.
Rafael answers the door and Jane launches into an apology spiel.
She explains that she said good-bye to Michael and to their past.
But Rafael is Janes now, her tomorrow, and her always.
Lets cross-stitch that on a pillow.
Rafael looks at her with sad eyes.
He shakes his head and tells Jane that he can never trust her again.
The moment has passed.
Does our heroine meltdown into a puddle of tears in true Jane fashion?
And she will win.
Their moment has not passed.
It has only begun.
And at this moment, Ive decided to embrace this love story.
