Just when Michael finds evidence in an office safe revealing false passports and cash, the evidence again disappears. Jane thinks back to when she used to write short stories about herself and when she receives notice that one, which she wrote about Xiomara's lurid past, is going to be published, she is worried about telling her mother about it. When Jane and Rafael make a background check on Petra and learn that her name and past references are false, they confront her and force her to drop her lawsuit. At then end, when a drunk Alba stumbles upon the captive Ivan, Petra's mother (who is revealed not to be crippled) attempts to murder her by pushing her down a flight of fire escape stairs. |LineColor = 82CAFA }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 10 |EpisodeNumber2 = 10 |Title = Chapter Ten |RTitle= <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/20141231cw02/|title=(#110) Chapter Ten|work=The Futon Critic|accessdate=January 1, 2015}}</ref> |DirectedBy = [[Elodie Keene]] |WrittenBy = [[Meredith Averill]] & Christopher Oscar Peña |OriginalAirDate = {{start date|2015|1|19}} |Viewers = <!-- final figures only --> |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 82CAFA }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 11 |EpisodeNumber2 = 11 |Title = Chapter Eleven |RTitle= <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/20150108cw02/|title=(#111) Chapter Eleven|work=The Futon Critic|accessdate=January 1, 2015}}</ref> |DirectedBy = [[Joanna Kerns]] |WrittenBy = Gracie Glassmeyer |OriginalAirDate = {{start date|2015|1|26}} |Viewers = <!-- final figures only --> |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 82CAFA }} {{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 12 |EpisodeNumber2 = 12 |Title = Chapter Twelve |RTitle= |DirectedBy = |WrittenBy = |OriginalAirDate = {{start date|2015|2|2}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/jane-the-virgin/listings/|title=Shows A-Z - jane the virgin on the cw|work=The Futon Critic|accessdate=December 13, 2014}}</ref> |Viewers = <!-- final figures only --> |ShortSummary = |LineColor = 82CAFA }} |} ==Ratings== {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
