Good Trouble

Congratulations!

You're part of the CBTV comedy diversity workshop!

-Thank you. -She got in!

Aren't you opening this firm to help people like Jerod?

I'll do it on one condition.

You quit Legal Aid and come work for me.

You see that woman in the jean jacket?

Her name's Yvonne Byers.

Is there any way you can help her?

Hey, have you seen Dennis?

I can't come back to the Coterie.

I think I've been trying to find a way out of this,

when I need to find a way through it.

We have a problem.

White supremacists?

They've flooded ACT-ivism.

We have to shut it down.

We're about to launch a new social network app.

We can't be seen catering to only those users whose politics we agree with.

I understand.

It's your company. Your call.

But I can't be a part of it anymore.

What about us?

I don't know.

It's my birthday.

No, it's not.

Ow!

Thank you guys so much.

Yay!

I'm Derek.

I write, act, and direct.

I'm like a less tragic, more clothed Lena Dunham.

I'm Magdalena. Magda.

This season, I tested for two pilots.

And my Harold team, Taylor Grift,

just got our own monthly show at UCB.

So, yeah, I'm pretty much on fire.

I'm Sanjana.

I worked with Second City in Chicago.

Since I moved to LA, I've done pretty much everything,

from being a budtender

to an assistant manager at a movie theater.

You can't hurt me.

Hi, I'm Stacey,

@NotActuallyLizzo on TikTok.

But you may know me from my musical Homages to Riverdale.

Shaun. Uh, I have a YouTube channel, Trans Fats.

'Cause I'm... trans.

Um, I actually just hit a million followers.

But my real dream is to host The Great British Baking Show.

I have a lot of soggy bottom material.

Lindsay Brady. I'm a stand-up.

I just finished up a 36-city North American tour.

Your queer cousin in Arkansas just absolutely loves me.

I'm Alice.

You sure we can't scare a chair up for you?

Oh, no, it's okay. I like it on the floor.

Whoever set up obviously didn't get the memo!

Hello!

Normally, we have, uh, six performers in the program.

Uh, but this year, we made an exception.

No worries. I don't need a seat.

I should've sat down quicker anyway.

I was never good at musical chairs.

Um, I've done some stand-up, and I really like it.

And I have 312 followers on Instagram.

Clearly, she was the exception.

Well, then, put your hands together. Come on.

Hello!

Woo!

Welcome, performers. You're here. Welcome.

As your program director, it is my job...

to make or break your careers.

I'm kidding.

Seriously, this program

has launched just some big talent and...

I mean, what a great time to be diverse.

Am I right? Yeah? Right? Come on.

Diversity is like the new Black, right?

Even if you're not Black.

I can say that because this comedy.

This is a safe space.

Not for me. Not this white guy.

"Help me. I need to work."

So, you could be the next Tiffany Haddish.

The next Aubrey Plaza in El Barrio.

Funny Indian guy, yeah?

You're gonna be crazy and rich very soon.

You could be Pat. Think about that. Am I right?

I mean, this is the first day of the rest of your life.

-Yes? -I'm sorry.

-Who's Pat? -Oh!

Pat was an SNL character.

Pat-- You didn't know if Pat

was a boy or a girl.

So, "Ugh" was the catchphrase.

It was very, very funny. Yeah.

Here's to the yet-to-be-named fight club ladies startup.

And to never having to work with dumb-ass tech bros ever again.

Amen to that.

Sorry, I was at the gyno.

Trying to squeeze in all my doctors

before our health insurance runs out.

Smart. Everyone get your Pap smears.

We should talk about money.

Uh, how long can...

everyone last until we have to get another job?

I think I can go, like, three months.

-Two. -Same.

Three... weeks.

Sorry.

No, no, that's okay.

It's just, you know, more motivation

to come up with an amazing app idea

and get funded ASAP.

There's this tech incubator

that does open pitch events twice a year.

They have one coming up in two weeks.

Two weeks? That's...

not a lot of time.

I've had an idea for a while.

What about an eco-friendly bath and beauty product delivery app?

We generate an algorithm

that tracks all the products that our customers use

and how much they use,

then we ship them out in reusable containers.

We can keep refilling them, cutting down on waste.

I love it.

-Me too. -Me too.

Uh, we could call it Bulk Beauty.

Ooh, or BB for short.

Five minutes in, and we've got a great idea!

Yeah, take that, Evan Speck!

We don't need your white supremacist protecting ass!

Mariana!

Another delivery for you.

At your service.

Wow! Who are those from?

They're from Evan.

Seems horny.

Ugh! DTF? Seriously--

Aww. "Down to fight for you."

Huh. Cute.

-May I? -Yeah.

I love a good "F" in the morning.

What are you gonna do?

You kind of left him hanging.

Yeah, well...

I mean, the girls quit in solidarity with me

because of Evan.

I can't just turn around and be like,

"Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm also dating him."

Well, then, you need to tell him that.

I know, and I will.

Uh, don't, don't. Don't tell me who it is.

Calm down. I didn't have time to read the card.

This time.

Who's your secret admirer?

They're from my moms. My moms.

Aww, what's the occasion?

It's my birthday.

-Why didn't you say something? Oh, my God!

-Happy birthday! -Cheers!

Let's drink. Happy birthday.

I cannot be late for work.

Excuse me. Hi.

Uh, we're still waiting for our appointment with DA Matthews.

I'm sorry, he was just called into an emergency meeting.

Uh, Mr. Matthews.

Uh, my name's Callie Adams Foster.

My client, Yvonne Byers, and I had an appointment with you at 10:00 a.m.

Sorry, something's come up.

Um, this is the third time you've rescheduled at the last minute.

I-- I can't keep dragging my client down here.

Okay, uh, I'll cut her fines in half

in exchange for 50 more community service hours.

Wait, that's 350 hours now.

Look, she works two jobs and has three kids.

How is she supposed to find the extra time in her life?

It's the best last offer. Take it or leave it.

Good morning.

Oh, uh, good morning. Are you here for me?

No. I have a meeting with the DA on Jerod's case.

But you're more than welcome to join me.

She wants to take the deal.

Yeah, of course she does.

I mean, that's what they do.

They keep rescheduling to wear you down

so you take the shitty deal.

Don't let her do it.

But he said it's his best and last offer.

Bullshit. There's always a better offer.

You can't trust any of these assholes.

Marc!

-Kathleen. -Hi!

-Hello. -Hello.

Uh, so, we got in a fight

and Miss Neal told us to come to your classroom.

What's up with that?

We raised attention with the walk-out,
