The Telenovela hits American prime time. It's a typical telenovela story built around a virgin getting pregnant. But it has a lot more emotional depth than almost any prime time show that I have seen in a while.

Tele-Novela? Seriously? You made that up..
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

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
