The moment was short, sweet, and heartfelt.
It was also immediately rejected.
And since that day, Rafael has done an impressive job of successfully avoiding Jane.

A life without Rafael is unacceptable to Jane.
Exercising healthy boundaries is a cruel joke.
Jane couldnt care less that Rafael asked for space.
How do we know this?
Because she spends her spare time lurking in front of his house and finding excuses to text him.
Jane has reached hot mess status, just like her father.
To Rogelios horror,The Passions of Steve and Brendapilot did not get picked up.
Because executives wanted something a little edgier.
Perhaps with a science fiction undertone.
And a new cast that replaces Rogelio and River with actors who are hotter and way younger.
Of course, Janes thoughts are less creative and more stalker at the moment.
Rafael calls Jane just as she pulls up to the parking lot.
He has a meeting with Mateos teacher and he wanted Jane to know.
Its co-parenting at its finest.
Jane offers to join him and he welcomes her offer.
Instead, she simply hangs up on him, waits a few minutes, and joins Rafael inside.
Hes behind the rest of the entire class.
Jane and Rafael rally and promise each other they will get him back on track.
Mateos not the only one who will be getting some extra study time.
This is absolutely killing Alba.
I dont think her CGI pink glowing heart can handle it!
Shes ready to pass this test so Jorge can walk right out of her life.
The sooner the better.
The drama continues as Jane forces a karate-chopping Mateo to focus on some flashcards.
Just as he moans that he wants to quit, Rogelio slumps into the room threatening the same action.
They are not quitters!
Rogelio receives this pep talk as an invitation to give Jane full creative control over his new pilot.
River can be his mom.
Jane has a brilliant idea.
What if the new proposal featured different storylines from the past and the present?
Rafael isnt buying it, but Jane reminds him of the overwhelming success of the TV showThis Is Us.
Rogelio geeks out over the past/present drama and brags about his good friend and show lead Justin Hartley.
Cue Rogelio and Justin in side-by-side wellness tanning pods.
Im assuming thats a real thing.
Mateo seems to be getting the hang of rhyming.
Will Jane and Rafael reunite?
Xo isnt so sure.
Since shes been quizzing Rogelio and Alba, she can see firsthand that deep love can be one-sided.
Look no further than Alba.
Xo wants Jane to be sure she and Rafael are on the same page.
This is a tough pill to swallow.
Rafael has been giving her green lights.
Promises of spending time alone in the future.
Rafael arrives and looks stunned.
As Jane babbles on about her love for Rafael and her commitment to their relationship, party crashers arrive.
Say hello to Rafaels boss and potential buyers.
Jane follows and begins to apologize profusely.
Rafael cuts her off when she explains she was taking advantage of an opening.
It turns out that what Jane considered flirting was actually go team and yay co-parenting interjections.
Rafael gets in her face and makes one thing perfectly clear: They are through.
Jane needs to move on.
Harsh, yes, but this is exactly what Xo was talking about.
Just because you love someone doesnt mean you get to have them.
You cant force it.
Even if you dont believe it, you have to accept it.
Those words are meant for Alba, too.
Maybe Jorge isnt feeling the love, but Petra and JR are deep in it.
Sadly, it seems like something is always getting in the way of their trysts.
First, Petra has to fire Pammy the Parrot lady for speaking Czech.
(Obviously, shes working with Milos.)
Petra and JR scramble up off the floor to go check on the girls.
Upon making sure everyone is okay, Petra receives a call from her security guy.
Its not her mom.
Her sister didnt come back from the dead.
The person who has been targeting Petra since the night Milos was shot is actually two people.
This is extreme behavior for a couple of six-year-olds to sabotage their mothers love life, right?
Its actually more than that.
The night Milos was shot, the girls came running into the room, unbeknownst to Petra.
They saw JR with a gun and they relate guns to bad people.
The twins saved their mother from a potentially dangerous situation.
Now its Janes turn to save her father from a career catastrophe.
What if Rogelio and River lived in the future?
And the young hotties are in the present?
Just like Jorge loves Alba.
See what I did there?
JORGE FINALLY COMES AROUND!
After he learns that they passed the test, he confesses to Alba that he doesnt want to leave.
He wants to spend the rest of his life with the ones he loves.
They make out by the kitchen sink, one big glowing heart.
Yay for old people!
Although she loves JR dearly, the girls are her priority.
If it doesnt work, shes gone.
Petra is thrilled, but she has one more thing to do.
She tells Rafael that the twins probably need therapy.
We see her give him a hug via the perspective of someone stalking in a car.
I can understand why you assume its Jane, but this time, its not.
Its the creepy guy Rose hired to befriend Luisa.
Hes on the phone with her, practically insisting that she demand to see Rafaels children.
