‘Jane The Virgin’ Pauses Mid-Episode To Drive Home The Need For Immigration Reform

Much like its Golden Globe-winning star, “Jane The Virgin” isn’t afraid to speak out on controversial issues.

The CW dramedy returned from its midseason break this week. In Monday’s episode, the show took a stand on a hot-button topic: immigration reform.

WARNING: The following contains plot spoilers, if you haven’t watched “Chapter Ten,” do not read further.

In December, “Jane The Virgin” left fans in disbelief after Petra’s mother threw Alba, Jane’s grandmother and Xiomara’s mother, down the stairs. In Monday’s midseason premiere, the series reveals that Alba, who is residing in the U.S. without papers, is in a coma and her legal status in the U.S. could prove problematic once again.
