What was that show?

Two days ago, I spent some effort trying to remember or search out what tv program I was remembering.  A scene kept coming to mind: a devious older woman with a gun in her hand sitting dejectedly in front of a younger man dead on the floor.  The woman's daughter enters the room and takes in the scene as the mother says in her heavy accent: "It was accident!"


After much thinking, trying to remember, I got it.  No wonder I was having trouble.  The scene was part of a show that we watched all episodes of - Jane, the Virgin.  The basic story of the show has little to do with a room in a swank hotel with a corpse.  Jane is the child of a single mother.   As a young woman, she has determined to avoid motherhood until she is married and has support.  The story is based on a successful tv series ifrom South America.


Jane goes for a gynecological exam.  The woman physician is under stress and enters the wrong room with semen at the ready and impregnates Jane, who is all prepared for an exam, not this!  She doesn't realize what has happened until a few months later.
