La Piloto is a Mexican television drama series revolving around the story of a young woman, Yolanda Cadena, who dreamt of becoming a pilot since she was a child. Her path to achieving her dream is strewn with obstacles, but she perseveres to eventually become a pilot of one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels. In the second episode of season one, titled Enemigos Nuevos, Yolanda's adventure continues as she tries to navigate through the dangers of the criminal world she finds herself in.
The episode starts with Yolanda nervously waiting at the airport as she anticipates her first flight. Although she has already completed her pilot training, it is her first flight carrying drugs for the Cartel De Las Sombras. As she boards the plane, one of the crew members, a Colombian cargo security agent, warns her that it's not safe to trust her employer. Yolanda brushes off his warning and assures him of her competence.
On the same flight, there is a passenger named Oscar, who appears suspicious to Yolanda. Her instincts tell her that he is a spy and she confides her thoughts to her crew members. They dismiss her concerns and Yolanda goes ahead with the flight. However, as they approach their destination, the police are alerted, and the plane is forced to land. Yolanda's worst fears have come true, and she is apprehended by the police along with her crew.
The Cartel's leader, John Lucio, is furious with her for putting the operation at risk. Yolanda tries to plead her case, but he doesn't listen. Meanwhile, the cargo security agent, who had warned Yolanda, is killed by the cartel's enforcer, Dave. Yolanda is thrown into a cell alongside a woman named Zulima, who is also working for the Cartel under duress, and the two bond as they share their stories.
In the meantime, Yolanda's family is worried sick about her. John Lucio's men have threatened them and are using them as leverage to coerce Yolanda. Her father, an ex-pilot, reaches out to his former student, John, to plead for his daughter's safety. John agrees to help, and he, along with two other pilots, sneak into the jail to break her out.
The group successfully manage to rescue Yolanda and Zulima and take them to safety. Yolanda is filled with gratitude towards John and requests him to let her continue flying for the Cartel. He agrees, but warns her that her past mistake has put her on thin ice.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Oscar, the suspicious passenger, revealing himself to be an undercover DEA agent and vowing to bring the Cartel down.
Enemigos Nuevos takes the narrative of La Piloto forward, establishing Yolanda as a fierce and determined protagonist who is ready to take risks to achieve her dreams. While the show has all the elements of a typical crime drama, it stands out due to the unique setting of the aviation industry. The episode lays the groundwork for the rest of the season, setting up the tensions between the various characters and the stakes for Yolanda's future. La Piloto is a must-watch for anyone who loves action, drama, and strong female protagonists.
