Well,robin cannes - jubilee of eroticism (1985), sc 4 it happened. After over two years, resurgent romances, drug investigations, an unplanned pregnancy and a bullet to her beau's chest, Jane the virgin finally shed the name by which we knew her.

Jane and Michael sealed the deal on Monday's episode of Jane the Virgin, and it was the perfect pivotal romantic moment...except it wasn't.

If you've seen the episode, you know that Jane and Michael's magical milestone wasn't exactly uneventful -- and not in a good way. After Jane fakes an orgasm, they spend the episode trying to "sort it out" amongst themselves, all the while trying to dispel the looming dread that sex with a soulmate isn't nonstop bliss.

In anticipation of the climactic moment, Mashable and other reporterschatted with showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman about The Big Moment and what it means moving forward.

Talk about the extreme buildup to Jane finally having sex. Is there pressure to make it the perfect moment?

There’s so much pressure. There’s so much pressure on Jane to make the perfect moment. There’s so much pressure on us in the writers’ room to make the perfect moment. And then that made me start to think about, what is this pressure on Jane to make the perfect moment? And is anybody’s first time perfect? Mine wasn’t. We felt that anxiety in the writers’ room. Jane feels that anxiety as a character.

So we incorporated that into part of the story and storytelling because I feel like you don’t want to just have this perfect “Oh, my God, it was bliss.” And yet, that’s the expectation and the hope. So I feel like we’ve integrated our own anxiety and Jane’s anxiety into that episode. That’s the next episode.

Earlier we talked about the pressure to have this sex scene. On the flip side, do you feel any sort of pressure to keep the momentum, no pun intended, once we reach that climax?

I feel pressure every single day, so it’s hard to differentiate what type of pressure I’m feeling when. But, you know, because you want it to be good and you want to tell a good story and you want people to like it. I felt once we get past [the] Jane the virgin part, I was happy to let go of that. The next episode is a really, really fun one and it’s just different. The narrator says things are different. She has sex, but she’s still the same person. But it’s almost a relief for her, like “Oh, we got that over with.”

Are we keeping the title?

We’re keeping the title but with changes. A line crossed through and sometimes it’ll be like “Jane the Guilty Catholic.” Depending on what the theme of that show will be, I’ll probably adjust it.

So you’re changing it every week?

It’ll always say Jane the Virgin, then there will be a line that crosses through Virgin and depending on what we’re putting that on top. I might put “Jane the Guilty Catholic,” or “Jane Who Doesn’t Like Her Mom’s New Boyfriend.”

It’s a way to me of identifying that people are so much more than sex. So this is like she is a person with so many different identities and so many different things that make her character interesting, and I think a person. Once we get rid of the virgin thing, then we can open it up to other things that define her, which I hope the series has done but we can really focus on it.

When you started the series, did you anticipate it would take until season three for her to lose her virginity?

I kind of thought it would be somewhere around here, because you also want to milk all the comedy. You don’t want it too quickly gone because there is a lot of comedy to be done. I knew I wanted her to be a married virgin, those kinds of things I wanted to play with as much as possible.

We wanted to squeeze all the comedy out of all of it because once it’s gone, you move on. I didn’t know how close it would be at the beginning of season three, but you don’t want to stall just to stall. We wanted to find the place where we felt like it was right.
