The Bold Type

All right, darlings, let's catch up

With our delightful trio. A newly single Sutton

Focused on her career. I'm actually here

To pitch myself as your stylist.

But after a long night at the office,

That focus got a little blurry.

Kat made a grand gesture...

Adena! And had a grand old time

With Adena at the airport,

But they missed their connection.

And Jane worked on a big investigative piece...

It's a pro/pro list. Looks like "incite"

Has pulled ahead.

Trying to figure out if she should take a new job,

But leaving old friends behind is difficult.

Even for "The Bold Type."

All right, pick it up! Come on.

The endorphins are gonna get your mind off Adena

And get your mind off of Richard...Or Alex.

Who are we getting our mind off of?

Ha ha! Wait. Why are we

Getting over Alex? Does that mean

You guys finally talked about all the stuff?

Ha ha! It's been less than a week.

Makes perfect sense that it's still

In the awkward small talk territory.

And I'm not talking about this over cardio.

All right, great. Brunch then?

Yeah, dawg!

hello? Tiny Jane?

Brunch? Yeah, sure.

Great. After running.

Look, I know you guys don't like to run,

But it really helps me clear my head,

And I'm nervous about this conversation

I have to have with Jacqueline. Can't believe you're actually

Going through with it. Well, "incite" wants me

To start in two weeks, so I'd better give my notice now.

Still not a valid reason to run.

Well, it'll help you get out of your Adena funk.

So there's a part about that night

That I never told you guys. Okay, but if it's sex stuff,

It's gonna happen over pancakes...I'm done with this.

I almost got on the plane with her.

What? Wait...to the middle east?

Really? If I had known you'd stop,

I would have told you like 20 minutes ago.

Whoa...But seriously?

Yeah. I had the ticket in my hand,

And I was gonna do it. My God, that's so romantic!

I got swept up in it, you know?

The way that traveling makes her feel

And the way that it makes her think, I...

I wanted that.

I don't know.

And you can stop looking at me like that,

Because I didn't do it.

I would have supported you if you did.

Okay...what?

Yeah, what? Yeah!

Look, I know I don't talk about it a lot,

And I'm not gonna start talking about it now,

But ever since I got the results from my brca test,

I just...

You know, life can change in a flash,

So...What are we waiting for, you know?

I mean, like look at this view.

We should be taking in every experience.

We should be living our lives, taking risks

And, you know, putting ourselves out there.

Guys?

Are you kidding me?

Run, tiny Jane! Run faster!

You can do it!

Hey, check it out.

1 million, 9 hundred and 90 hundred,

7,000...653 twitter followers!

Are you sure you're even saying that number right?

Not at all, but...You know what number is easy to say

Is 2 million. I'm so close.

We really had half this when I started.

This right here is power.

You're ridiculous. You're tiny.

Okay, sent. I still haven't moved past

The "almost got on the plane with Adena" thing.

Well, you're gonna need to move past it,

Because I have. I've built up way too much here,

You know?

You make fun of me all you want, all right?

But this actually means something, you know?

I have an audience of almost 2 million people

Like right at my fingertips. I can do so much with that.

So much more than I could wandering around some...

Foreign country without even so much

As a change of underwear.

Really? That's gross.

Oh. Hey. Look.

Oh, yeah.

I'm gonna go talk to him right now.

Because I am emotionally mature. Show off.

Morning. Heyyyy.

After you. Thanks!

So how... Sutton, I...

You go first.

Fashion week's gonna be insane.

Okay. I'll go first.

I am really sick of this awkward small talk.

Oh, my God, so am I.

I mean, this... I know!

I'm so happy that you said something.

Good morning, Sutton.

Morning, martha. Morning.

So you wanna just... Go out?

Like on a date.

Sutton! Come hither.

Flying in! Is that something

You'd be opposed to? Um...

Sutton!

Go. We'll talk later.

Fashion week.

Busiest of your newly adolescent life.

I own your ass this week.

You own my ass every week. You're getting

The hang of this. You will be working

Every second of every day this week.

You will get me out of the door to every show on time.

We wear the designer... to honor the designer. Got it.

I have all of your outfits steamed, pressed, and organized.

Good. No mix-ups. Mix-ups happen,

I'm the one who ends up on page 6.

I will not share ink with anthony weiner.

Not today. Not ever.

also I know

Sometimes you send assistants to cover shows

When you're too busy.

I would love an opportunity to do that.

I like the confidence.

But I only send my staff that I know I can trust.

Understood. So if there's anything I can do this week

To prove that I'm trustworthy... do you remember the story

Of cinderella? She works her ass off

And gets to go to the ball at the end?

You're the mice.

Or the birds or... I don't remember.

yeah.

Nice work with the fun and fearless denim piece.

I don't have any notes.

Um, Jacqueline...

I was wondering if I could schedule a sit-down with you.

I'm...Sitting. What do you need?

Well, I was hoping we could talk privately.

Okay.

Andrew will reach out.

Kat, talk to me about the fashion week party.

But let's walk while we talk,

Because I am nowhere close to my step goal.

Uh...Party's gonna be awesome.

RSVP's are solid.

We got a good blend of a-listers and influencers

And a bunch of strategies

To get them posting all over the big four

With twitter being the obvious priority.

Great. Yeah. Everything I'm bringing

To the party is total social media bait.

I actually found these really cool

Green screen photo booths... Hmm.

Sounds fun! Yeah.

I've got a certain number of posts and shares

That I need to hit in order to call the party a success.

Have you checked our twitter lately?

Almost to 2 million. Yeah.

Jacqueline, these need to be signed.

Okay. Thank you, andrew. And, uh, now is

The only time you have for Jane. Let's do it now.

Okay.

Jane. Come on in. Sit down.

I wasn't expecting to meet with you so quickly.

Um...

This is a very difficult conversation for me.

I know what this is about.

I figured you might.

Jacqueline... I noticed you looking her up.

Mia lawrence...she's one of the first stories

You ever pitched to me.

You want to know why I wouldn't let you write it.

Well, I saw her in the park the other day,

And I-I've always thought that she was

An amazing story for us. But what I wanted to say...

Mia's story is a huge one.

It's emotionally very complex.

I didn't think you had the experience

Or the skill for it

When you first brought it to me.

Oh.

But attention for her has really dropped off,

So you're not wrong wanting to revisit it.

Well, actually... but I'll be honest.

I still do have reservations about giving it to you.

Jane, I've seen you grow a lot since you first started here,

And I'm not criticizing your work.
