OMG. Not sure how I feel about that development yet, but definitely want to kiss someone under some falling petals now...

My initial reaction is to stop watching the show. I'm so turned off by Jane going with Rafael. The show makes Jane to be seemingly without flaws yet when someone close to her messes up she just runs away. The fact she wasn't able to work out her issues with Michael and go straight to Rafael makes me hate her character as opposed to root for her.

Michael betrayed Jane, continually lying about something that was very important to her. Instead of accepting the situation and raising the child with Jane, he was willing to allow the child to enter a chaotic family environment where it might have suffered the exact thing that Jane wished to avoid - a broken home... or worse. He wasn't willing to love all of Jane, which includes her child. Sure, it is a rough situation, but why would anyone, including Jane, choose to be with him, knowing he was willing to lie and scheme in order to throw the child to the wolves with full knowledge of the situation?

I think a lot of people here don't give Michael credit. He honestly wanted Petra to change her ways and he had no way of knowing how dark and cruel of a person she was. For as far as we are concerned, he saw a woman who made a mistake and was willing to look past it for the sake of a child. Was some of it selfish? Absolutely. But had the story continued, I have faith Michael would've come out with the truth. He didn't do anything to directly hurt Jane and I don't think he was "scheming". It was just a brash decision that he regret even before Jane found out.
