Parenting is never easy, but especially not when your own body and brain are rebelling against you.
The group session quickly goes south, though, once someone attempts to diagnose Petra with postpartum depression.
With that, Petra eventually agrees to think about calling.

When Janes not helping Petra out, she and Michael are touring houses around town.
The only problem is that the houses theyre seeing in town arent the charming houses the listings promise.
As Jane says at one of the less-attractive options, Charmingis code for small and old.
The realtor reveals he knows a house that would check the boxes on their list.
To those who live in a bigger city, this probably seems like no big deal.
To Jane, who grew up mere seconds away from her family members, this is huge.
Rafael feels the same way and isnt happy when he learns that Jane is seriously considering the house.
Money has strings attached, he reasons to Jane.
Say goodbye to your dream of having an intimate ceremony with just 75 people, Jane.
Subtle isnt in the guys vocabulary, and thats part of what makes Rogelio, well, Rogelio.
Theres only so much money to go around, bud.
No, its a replica of the house she grew up in.
Bonus: Its on a set, so theres plenty of room for all of Rogelios friends.
Oprah can come after all!
Its a milestone and its one of many that she wants Mateos dad to have easy access to.
Her reasoning if that is indeed her reasoning doesnt make the most sense.
Later, they find a house in their price range and nearby.
At first, they think Rafael could be secretly subsidizing it.
Theyre wrong: Petra is.
Petras penchant for being blunt can be useful sometimes.
NEXT: Petras mom makes a nasty return
She might have ulterior motives, though.
That requires visiting her mom, which she does.
Is finding out your family history really this important?
Anyway, her mom is unsympathetic surprise!
and suggests that Petra leave her children, that its whats best for them.
This is bad advice, but it rings true to Petra and her depressed mind.
By the end of the episode, shes frantically packing her bags.
Petra is usually evil, but this is not evil.
This isnt selfish Petra; this is trying-to-do-whats-right Petra.
Too bad this Petras mind is clouded with dark thoughts.
Its sad, but its realistic and, more importantly, its yet another situation where Jane can intervene.
Lets just hope Petras friend finds out she needs help before she runs away.
(To where, who knows?)
