She was a seamstress at fashion magazine MODE, and worked closely with its then-editor-in-chief Fey Sommers and creative director Wilhelmina Slater.

She feels increasingly uncomfortable with her new career after learning the package contained evidence to frame publishing mogul Bradford Meade for Fey's murder.

Wilhelmina was working with Daniel's transgender sister Alexis Meade, believed to have died in a skiing accident, to take over MODE as its editor-in-chief.

Christina continues to help Betty with her love life, including telling her crush Henry Grubstick that his girlfriend Charlie cheated on him and may be pregnant with another man's child.

He comes to New York City to see Christina, and they have sex in Fey's "love dungeon", a room built in the MODE for her daily trysts with Bradford.

Alexis pushes Christina down a flight of stars in a blind rage because the baby she is carrying represent Wilhelmina's opportunity to take over MODE.

Christina believes that the baby may actually be hers; since Wilhelmina is using the child to claim a stake in the Meade fortune and a place at MODE, she fabricates DNA results that show her as the biological mother.

Betty convinces Wilhelmina to admit the truth about the child's parentage, though she also does so to appeal to the magazine's new partner Calvin Hartley as a ruthless businesswoman.

While vacationing in the United States, Ashley Jensen auditioned for multiple television projects as part of the pilot season at the suggestion of her talent agent.

During his review of the pilot episode, Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe felt that Christina had potential, but required more screen time.
