Jane The Virgin: Season Three Premiere

    Jane the Virgin returned with its third season on Monday and it picked up from where it stopped last season. Jane and Michael got married and Michael was shot by Sin Rostro on their wedding night, Petra was drugged by her evil twin sister and mother and was in the hospital unable to move or speak and Xiomara found out that she was pregnant with Esteban's baby.

 During the episode, Jane, her father, mother and grandmother are at the hospital scared for Michael's life. Flashbacks reveal how Michael and Jane started and flash forwards show what would become of their family if he survives. Jane and her Mother In-law are fazed with the decision of letting the doctors operate on Michael but they are skeptical that Michael would not survive it. They finally agreed and he is taking away for surgery but not before Jane promises to get him a cat when they leave the hospital together.

Rogelio begs a couple of guys not to tweet that he was in the hospital and agrees to pee in a cup for them. Xo confesses to Rogelio that she's pregnant with Esteban's baby but has made the decision not to keep it. During the flashbacks, Jane had a crush on a guy named Sam for 17 months and he finally asked her on a date which she agreed to forgetting that she had a date with Michael. She lies to Michael that's she's sick but he sees her all dressed up, getting into Sam's car so he pulls them over and confronts Jane. When she goes to his office to apologize, they end up arguing and calling each other names. Michael shows up the next day to apologize and demands another kiss after Jane tells him to walk away.
    Back at the hotel, Anezka, Petra's evil twin was trying to get away from the detectives to give her sister another dose of the drugs to further paralyze her -code name "freeze the chicken"-. She eventually succeeds in  convincing Rafael and the detectives that she needs to see her sister and she injects Petra when the Police Officer looks away. Rafael agrees to Anezka's plan to bring Petra back to the hotel to be close to her and angrily tells her mother Magda that she's ready to go ahead with the yet to be revealed plan when Rafael says he wants to remain friends.

Michael makes it through the surgery to the delight of everyone, including his police friends who stop by the hospital to show support. The episode ends with Rose and Louisa escaping in what looks like a submarine.
   Jane is going to be yet again involved in another love triangle which seems a little bit repetitive to me considering she just got over the Michael/Rafael drama. While Petra is struggling on the hospital bed, Jane is on the other side praying for the life of her new husband. These two aspects, yet different go together and compliment each other. The narration, as always is perfect with that swing of humor we've come to know the show for. I can't wait to see what the writers have in store for this season.

Random Thoughts
1. Was I the only one praying that Michael died? I never really liked him and I just think his character is boring. I still hope that Jane ends up with Rafael or someone else other than Michael. #TeamRafael
2. I literally couldn't stop laughing for minutes when I saw #EsteBunInTheOven #EsteBarf on my screen.

3. The episode was quite sad to be honest and I kept screaming in my head for Petra to move or say something. I pray she gets out of that situation soon.
