Whoo what an episode!
The last bit with River Fields and Xo bonding was amazing.
AV Club: B+
"Chapter Eighty-One" Promo
So what's the big Friday night cliffhanger? They're not really gonna do Jane and Raf are related are they? They did drop that "the maid was his mother" line more than once...
And yeah this week was the usual exposition and set up for the finale that drags penultimate episodes down. Petra seeming suspicious too. I guess we'll finally see what happened next week.
Maybe Jane was Raf's mother!! *gasp*
I still suspect Petra. Dammit, why did they bring back this plot? We never actually saw what happened after all.
This episode was absolutely starting to destroy me with Xo. Shit, man.
Also man that chemistry between Rafael and Jane really skyrocketed with me this episode. Super convincing how in love they are.
I didn't know about the cold cap, none of the previous shows I watched that had cancer patients mentioned it. That was so heartbreaking.
Raf is a great romantic lead. He has strengths, flaws. He is apologetic and caring. He has his own developing storyline. (Still miss Michael though...)
Did anyone else's airing not have subtitles for the Spanish dialogue?
It actually made it sort of fun to have to follow the context.
Raf's hippy phase made me forget how freaking hot he is. Jesus lord in heaven.
I watched it on Netflix. UK Netflix actually keeps up with the episode weekly. It's great if you wanna watch the older S4 episodes again.
If this was a Korean drama, there'd be a lot of scenes with Raf in the shower, haha.
