There are a number of good news for Jane in “Chapter Forty.” She has finally picked a wedding dress (again) soon after she and her mom reconciled. And despite a meltdown with her advisor, Jane was still allowed for another year in the graduate program. On top of that, Michael told her he wants to be closer to baby Mateo. (Fans must have gasped when Mateo called Michael ‘Dada’ in front of a very hurt Rafael!)

Toward the end of “Chapter Forty,” however, there’s a disturbing hint that Michael is in trouble (again). Someone is discreetly taking numerous photos of Michael while he is helping Jane into the car. It appears Michael is under deep surveillance. Who is behind this – old character, a returning one or someone new?
