Pilot Summary

Cristela's family feels she is wasting her time trying to be a lawyer and should get a real job. Determined to make it, she attempts to stand out from the other intern candidates, and tries to impress the attorney with humor, which continually digs her into a deeper hole. Back at the house, Daniela encourages her to stop trying to achieve something she'll never accomplish and come work with her at the call center. Cristela concedes, then goes into the shower to drown her frustration. She's totally surprised when the attorney's office staff calls her with the news that she's among the chosen. She knows this will be the stepping stone she needs for her career, and yet another stumbling block between her and her family.
