http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/jane-virgin-chapter-ten-214070#comment-1804135947 So I came across “Juana La Virgen” episodes recaps, which I translated. I thought the best place to share them was here. There are no spoilers, as you will see Venezuelan version (as many telenovelas) was excruciatingly slow: Episode 10: Juana asks the doctor to explain to her why she is pregnant if she's a virgin. Episode 21 Doctors can't find Juana's history. Dr Michelena confesses to Dr. Monsalve he mistakenly inseminated Jane. [So what happens in the pilot, happens in TWENTY ONE EPISODES on the original version). Episode 27 Nicolás is amazed when he sees a rotten flower blossom when in contact with Juana's virginity certificate (yes, there was a virginity certificate and it was actually miraculous). Episode 47 Juana gazes amazed Mauricio's face, who smiles back at her. Rafael, who comes after him, approaches and says hi to his friend. (SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN A WHOLE EPISODE???? THAT'S A SYNOPSIS??? THEY LOOK AND TWO OTHER CHARACTERS SAY HI???) Episode 70 Desireé ratifies to Mauricio that Juana is the mother of his beloved son (SEVENTY EPISODES AND RAFAEL WOULDN'T STILL KNOW JANE'S PREGNANT WITH HIS SON. SEVENTY).

As the first major conflict surrounding Maura’s identity, this scene rewards some more intense scrutiny. Think about the way the camera holds on Maura, not even showing the door to the bathroom, just her face, holding, unmoved, as Maura stares. Sarah reenters the frame, dragging Maura into this new, feminine world, one where Maura’s performance of her true gender identity will receive far more scrutiny than Divina telling her to carry herself better. I haven’t said much about the direction of the show because it’s been so consistent, but this shot captures something important about the motivation between many of Soloway’s choices (or, in this case, Nisha Ganatra)—they’re mimicking the emotional states of the characters, approximating a sort of formal empathy. The camera’s paralysis is Maura’s paralysis, and Sarah’s emergence to help Maura move into the spaces that will define her new life is a movement that doubles as a breath of fresh air, suggesting that maybe this family is capable of helping each other after all. http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/transparent-rollinmoppa-210028
