Pilot
Cristela's dream of becoming a lawyer is something her traditional Mexican-American family doesn't quite understand. She's entering her sixth year of law school after juggling home obligations and working multiple jobs to pay her way. Cristela lives in cramped quarters with her sister Daniela, her long-suffering brother-in-law Felix and their two young kids. The senior member of this extended family, all living under one roof in Dallas, is Cristela's old school mom, Natalia. After six years of setbacks, her mom Natalia worries that becoming a lawyer might not be in the cards for her and doesn't want Cristela to be hurt by a dream that might not come true. Then, Cristela's life begins to look up. Lawyer Trent Culpepper, who is unapologetically politically incorrect about Latinos and just about everyone else, offers her an internship at his prestigious firm. She'll be working - unpaid - with Culpepper's pampered daughter Maddie and good-natured fellow intern Josh.
Soul Mates
Daniela signs up a reluctant Cristela for an online dating site but when her ad starts getting attention, Cristela agrees to go out on a blind date with one of her suitors. Her date ends up being someone Cristela least expects. Will Cristela stray from her life plan to give love a chance?
Mr. Felix And Ms. Daniela
After Daniela's friend mistakes Cristela for the nanny, tensions flare between the two sisters and surprisingly it is Felix who brings them back together. Meanwhile, Alberto tries to get closer to Cristela in an unexpected way.
Hall-Oates-Ween
It's Halloween and Cristela is eager to show Trent her party-whispering skills to make this year's party a success. After failing to convince Josh, Cristela gets Maddie to join her in dressing up as Hall & Oates. Meanwhile at home, Natalia's dislike for Halloween has her celebrating the Day of the Dead instead and, ironically, her stories of deceased relatives makes her the most popular Halloween attraction in the neighborhood.
Super Fan
Looking to enhance his chance for a promotion, Josh wants to get closer to Trent by learning more about sports. So when Mark Cuban comes to the office, Josh drops the ball in thinking he's there to fix the fridge. So Josh asks Cristela for help in teaching him the basics about sports, especially in Dallas where it goes God, family and the Cowboys... but not in that order in the 4th Quarter.
Equal Pay
Cristela is frustrated when Trent asks her to work on a case that supports unequal pay for women in the workplace. Meanwhile, Cristela finds some satisfaction when she learns that Daniela has been making more money than Felix for years... which she has kept as a secret... and Cristela is thus drawn into an emotional argument at home.
Enter Singing
Cristela, wanting to expose the kids to more cultural opportunities, tries to convince Felix to let Henry see "West Side Story." But in doing that, Felix worries that his son's interests will be changing and they won't have as much in common as he gets older.
Floor Favor
Trent wants the floor of his office redone and assumes Cristela knows someone in the flooring business, so she puts Felix & Alberto on the job. Even though the guys do a great job and bond with Trent, they treat Cristela like their put-upon little sister... like they do at home, so Cristela wants to find a way to get rid of them... fast. Meanwhile, Daniela teaches Natalia how to use the internet.
It's Not About The Tamales
It's Christmas time and Cristela is looking forward to the tradition of making tamales with her mom and sister, while the men pretend to do housework. Among those men this year is Cristela's brother Eddie, returning from a job out of state. But when Josh mistakes a joke for an earnest invitation, he ends up crashing the family tamale party. Meanwhile, Trent and Maddie get some much needed father-daughter time at home, where they bond over their shared inability to prepare even the most basic of Christmas feasts.
Veronica
Trent and his wife are going through some martial problems and look to soon be separating. Veronica takes an immediate liking to Cristela and offers her a job at her law firm, which specializes in cases that entice Cristela, but will she be able to abandon her loyalties to Trent? Meanwhile, Henry and Isabella have opposing views on how best to sell chocolate bars for a school fundraiser and seek help from Felix, Daniela & Alberto.
Dead Arm
It's a case of the blame game when Isabella finds herself in a bit of trouble at school after being called out for being a bully. Cristela tries to figure out which family member taught Izzy this learned behavior as Daniela, Natalia, Felix and Alberto all have traits that might have influenced Izzy. It's not until Cristela and Josh have a squabble at work over misinterpreting one another's text messages that Maddie points out that even Cristela might have a few bully-like qualities of her own.
