"Wow. Has it been year already? Time flies."
Magda

Rafael, Jane, Petra, and Michael all try to figure out what Rafael should do about Derek. Rogelio deals with issues on the set of Tiago. Complications derail Jane and Michael's wedding and Mateo's first birthday party. Jane considers submitting her novel to a publisher.


Tropes:

  • The Bad Guy Wins: Derek gets the Fairwick and chains up his mother inside it, and manages to escape with the stolen money.
  • Engineered Public Confession: A failed attempt. At Petra's urging, Rafael tries to tape Derek confessing to blackmail. Derek figures out what he's up to and demands the recording.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Michael realizes that Derek might want the Fairwick for potential tunnels underneath when Jane mentions she wants to dig deeper with her writing.
  • Friend on the Force: Susanna plays this role in this episode, as Michael (who's off the force) can't investigate Derek without a warrant or police resources.
  • Lightbulb Joke: When asked to change a lightbulb, Rogelio laughs it off because it's so easy there's a whole kind of joke devoted to it. Of course, this is before the narrator points out his debilitating fear of heights.
    How many Rogelios does it take to change a lightbulb? One Rogelio. One hundred and forty-seven minutes. And one determined daughter.
  • Only One Name: Bobby the children's entertainer just goes by Bobby, "like BeyoncĂ©".
  • The Reveal: Anezka is working with Magda on some as-yet-unspecified convoluted plan, and has been since the beginning of the season.
  • Shout-Out: Jane and Michael reference Star Wars when talking about how Petra is negatively influencing Rafael.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Rogelio is deathly afraid of heights. Unfortunately, the crew asks him to change a lightbulb above the house set.
