There are three times in the pilot that they use the word "immaculata" or "Immaculate", so even the writers for the show get the virgin birth and the immaculate conception confused. Later, when asked about the so-called "Immaculate Conception of Jane Gloriana Villanueva," Luisa Alver would say that it was the biggest mistake of her life.-Narrator Immaculata.
