Pilot

"Pilot" is the first episode and the first season of Sunnyside, which was aired from NBC on September 26, 2019.

Summary
Fast-talking former councilman Garrett Modi is ejected from his office by his successor Diana Barea, moves in with his sister, and turns to making humiliating paid appearances to support himself. Just when it seems he can't sink any lower, a group of immigrants -- Brady, Griselda, Hakim, Drazen, and siblings Jun Ho and Mei Lin -- pay him to find someone to help them finish their citizenship classes. Garrett lies, saying that he has connections, and offers to act as a substitute instructor; secretly, he hopes to use the group as a launching pad for his political comeback. Drazen is arrested by ICE, and Garrett's scheme is exposed, causing the group to abandon him in disgust. Riddled with guilt, Garrett rounds them up and goes to see Barea, who agrees to help find Drazen. Garrett then sets up a classroom in his sister's apartment, vowing to stay with the group until they become citizens.
