Best Friends Forever is a comedy TV show that brings on the friendship goals in its first episode named Pilot/You Got Served. The story revolves around two best friends, Jessica and Lennon, who decide to live together after Lennon's divorce. The show kicks off with the two friends hanging out at a cafe discussing Lennon's recent divorce. Jessica tries to cheer her best friend up by inviting herself over to Lennon's place, but Lennon declines saying that she doesn't want Jessica to see how sad she is.

Despite the rejection, the two friends end up living together again in LA. Lennon has rented a tiny apartment, and her living conditions are not luxurious. Jessica helps her friend settle in, unpacking boxes, and exploring the city together. However, while trying to get comfortable in her new home, Lennon discovers a pair of tap shoes left by a tenant and decides to try them on. She surprises herself with her tap dancing skills, and Jessica comes up with an idea of starting a tap-dance act together. The two friends rehearse, all excited but with no gigs in sight.

Meanwhile, Jessica's long-term boyfriend, Rav, is away on work, and she's finding it hard to be apart from him. She calls him constantly, leaving him voicemails like a clingy girlfriend, but unfortunately for her, Rav is not as interested in their relationship as she is. Rav is a successful lawyer who enjoys the LA scene and the freedom that comes with it. He can't wait to get back and enjoy his privileged life.

The two best friends finally get their first gig at a local bar, and although they're excited, their performance turns out to be a disaster. They get negative feedback from the audience, and Jessica ends up quitting on stage. Lennon is frustrated, but Jessica has bigger concerns. She decides to confront Rav about their relationship, and he admits that he's not interested in a serious relationship with her. Jessica is crushed but decides to move on by throwing out everything that Rav owns in her apartment.

The episode ends with the best friends reconciling and agreeing to be there for each other even through the tough times.

Overall, the first episode of Best Friends Forever is a relatable, fun-packed, and well-executed comedy centered on the lives of two best friends. The comedic chemistry between Jessica and Lennon is evident throughout the episode, and the show's creators succeed in fleshing out the characters. Each character's motivation, personality, and quirks are well-articulated, which fits perfectly with the comedic tone of the show. In short, this episode is an excellent introduction to the series, and it promises to keep the audience entertained throughout the season.
