SEASON FINALE — Jane (Gina Rodriguez) believes she and Rafael (Justin Baldoni) are in a good place until she realizes he is keeping a secret from her. Alba's (Ivonne Coll) big day has finally arrived, and Jane, Xo (Andrea Navedo), and Rogelio (Jaime Camil) are ready to celebrate but Alba has other plans.

PARALLELS
