"What kind of mother doesn't put her child first?"
— Alba to Xo
Alba takes step toward getting a green card, but runs into a surprising problem from Xiomara's past. Rogelio feuds with an old rival. Petra prepares to get married, and Michael has trouble at work.
Tropes
- Abhorrent Admirer: Milos to Petra.
- As Herself: Britney Spears as an over-the-top version of herself. She and Rogelio have major beef.
- Fantasy Sequence: Several times, first when Jane imagines herself dancing to "Toxic" with Britney Spears.
- Friendship Moment: Jane is genuinely concerned about Petra marrying Milos.
- Intoxication Ensues: Xo and Alba eat a marijuana-laced chocolate bar right before they're supposed to go to an important meeting about Alba's citizenship.
- Mama Didn't Raise No Criminal: This is Alba's reaction when she finds out that Xo's criminal charge as a teen didn't go away.
- Mickey Mousing: Britney Spears and her troupe of backup dancers get this whenever they are on screen.
- Never My Fault: When Michael is removed from his job, he attacks Rafael for turning him in instead of blaming himself for letting his partner escape in the first place.
- Shout-Out:
- Zed insists on being called "Jon Snow".
- Lots of references to Green Card around Milos and Petra's wedding (though technically it's not a Citizenship Marriage; he says it's a "tax thing" and then it turns out that it's actually a weapons smuggling thing).
- The dialogue is sprinkled with lyrics and titles from Spears’s library
- Spousal Privilege: Now that Milos and Petra are married, he can tell her that he's smuggling grenades into the country, because she's not allowed to testify about it.
- The Stoner: Xo's teen ex Zed, a roller-blading mural artist who's willing to hand out marijuana edibles to any young pretty woman who's nice to him, even if he used to date her mother.
