Rogelio is typically the main source of comic relief on Jane the Virgin, but the challenging situation that he deals with in tonight’s episode is hardly a laughing matter. In a storyline truly ripped straight out of one of the telenovelas the stars in, Rogelio is held captive by his assistant/stalker Paolo/Lola, and he must do his very best to play along with her crazy behavior.
Despite how wacky and ridiculous this stalker plot is, it doesn’t make it any easier to see Rogelio, usually Jane the Virgin‘s most fun and over-the-top character, seem so sad and limited. Even worse, though, is seeing how upset Rogelio gets when Paolo prevents him from responding to Jane, who keeps messaging her dad to try to make up after the fight they had in last week’s episode. Here’s hoping that he’ll be able to escape and patch things up with Jane sooner rather than later.
Jane the Virgin airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on The CW. Check out the clip from “Chapter Thirty-Six” below:

BABIES — Jane (Gina Rodriguez) and Michael (Brett Dier) are back together and Jane wishes she had never left Michael in the first place. Rafael (Justin Baldoni) appears to have regressed to his playboy ways and Petra (Yael Grobglas) is concerned about him. But Petra is not aware that Rafael is helping Michael find Mutter’s other son, Derek (guest star Mat Vairo). Rogelio’s (Jaime Camil) new assistant, Paolo (guest star Ana De la Reguera), is actually his stalker Lola. Finally, Petra gives birth to the twins. Andrea Navedo and Ivonne Coll also star. Uta Briesewitz directed the episode written by Jessica O’Toole & Amy Rardin.
