In the "Cristela" episode entitled "Veronica," Trent and his wife Veronica (Roseanne Barr) are going through some marital 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? "Cristela" airs FRIDAY, JANUARY 9 (8:31-9:00 p.m., ET).
