It's the ultimate season of 'Jane the Virgin' and fans need to know: does Jane finally end up with Rafael or Michael? Warning: spoilers ahead.
Last season, Jane the Virgin unleashed the final bombshell when Michael reappeared after "dying" in Season 3.
And in typical telenovela style, his return came at the worst possible time for Jane, who used to be moving in with Rafael — who was once additionally ready to pop the query to the aspiring author.
However, in a plot twist that no person saw coming, as an alternative of a suggestion, Jane is surprised with the arrival of her thought-dead husband Michael. Seriously, WTF.
Now, fans are divided between #TeamMichael and #TeamRafael as the fifth and ultimate season of the CW series comes to an finish.
So, will Jane finally end up with Rafael or Michael?
In case you want a recap, the reasons in the back of Michael's disappearance was easy: a case of amnesia. During the Season Five premiere, it was revealed that Michael's memory used to be wiped by Rose — aka Sin Rostro, the drug lord Michael has been searching since Season 2 — and he awoke in the heart of a box in Montana.
He is now a rancher and goes by way of the identify Jason. NBD.
"Amnesia was the thing that first entered us into that space with Rogelio’s telenovela, and so once we knew Michael/Jason was coming back, amnesia felt like the right move in terms of just how to create so much drama for the finale season — and also the emotional toll of how someone you love looks at you like a stranger felt very exciting but also challenging, in terms of how to ground that," showrunner Jennie Synder Urman instructed Variety.
"It raises interesting questions about the soul and soulmates and what makes a person," she continued. "If we’re a collection of the stories we tell about ourselves, or if we’re actually what’s essentially there — and how experience molds us."
As anticipated, fans are conflicted about precisely who Jane's "soulmate" truly is. For some, the answer is obviously Michael, since Jane is still technically married to him.
"With this being the final season I'm really hoping Michael remembers everything and they end up together (sorry Rafael) I'm hoping they continue to explore his memories and relive everything that has happened over the seasons and they get together again, maybe she's pregnant at the end and this time Michael is the father," one fan theorizes. "They've been through so much together. I just can't see this ending with her and Rafael forever. It will always be Michael and Jane."
Others claim Jane and Rafael's courting turns out pressured, while her love with Michael was natural. "I felt that Jane and Raf were forced. She didn’t think twice about 'that one time' until she was pregnant and found out who the father was. THAT was when Raf came back into her life...he did not seek her out, nor did she him," a viewer wrote on reddit.
"Michael always seemed to seek Jane out and pursue her. Maybe I just like the way my husband sought me out, and that is why I am more drawn to Jane and Michael, vs. Jane and Raf. Raf kind of felt like he just filled a space, but Michael clicked into that space... Also, the way that Michael took the time to learn his vows in Spanish?!"
However, for others, Jane has no selection but to pick with Rafael seeing as Michael is not the identical person.
"Rafael is heartbroken, but lets her because he knows it’s what’s best for her. Once she realizes that she doesn’t have the same feelings for [Micheal], she tells him about how she loves Raf and was going to marry him. She goes back to Rafael, one of them proposes after a few days, the other says yes," one redditor predicts. "Of course, I’m hoping the series ends with a jafael wedding and Michael watches, feeling melancholic but overall happy for Jane as he knows it’s what is best and he has moved on."
Another agreed, adding, "I feel like Jane will want to try to honor their marriage but they'll both acknowledge that too much has changed and Jafael will continue as planned. I know a lot of people are not looking forward to a Jafael ending but for me I feel like Jane already had a [happily ever after] with Michael and it would be really boring if she just picks him again."
