The Bold Type Season 2

Previously on "The Bold Type"...

You could add the fact that you're black.

It's what's on the inside that matters.

Why are labels a bad thing?

I am "Scarlet" magazine's first black female department head.

I like her. That's why Oliver gave her the job.

This slut-shaming thing you're doing; It's gotta stop.

I wasn't. You were.

I screwed up.

I've already booked an interview on NY14.

So "Incite" was factually inaccurate.

When we sensationalize people,

that story gets lost.

I made a mistake when I thought you would be a good fit.

I was trying to make a point. Jane, you're fired.

Aw, you brought me breakfast to cheer me up...

and tequila.

Well, you guys are so sweet for doing this.

Thank you, but seriously... I'm fine.

I mean...

I got fired. Big deal.

You're nobody until you get fired.

I mean, uh, Steve Jobs got fired.

Oprah got fired. Hmm?

And besides, I went out in a blaze of glory.

Becoming a meme

is basically like a millennial rite of passage.

Do you think Jacqueline saw?

Babe, everybody saw.

Great.

Well, anyways, "Scarlet's" in the rearview.

Onwards and upwards.

Look.

It's my plan for the day.

She made a list. Of course she did.

Yes, I made a list because I'm a writer.

We'll let you get to it. So no tequila?

Uh, no. No tequila.

All right.

Have a great day. You too.

See ya. Bye.

Wait.

I was just thinking there is Maya Angelou.

She used to have a glass of sherry before she wrote,

and I always thought it was kind of cool.

So...

Go, Tiny Jane.

Oh, you're having it too.

No. We have to go to work today.

You can have all three. I'm working today too.

Are you, though?

Yep. Solidarity.

Thank you.

To Tiny Jane. To Tiny Jane!

Ugh!

Hi, this is Jane Sloan calling for Hillary Lin.

No, I was not aware that she left the magazine.

Anyways, I worked for the editorial staff

at "Incite," and...

Yes. Yes, that was me on TV.

Well, I was formerly at "Incite."

Parted because of creative differences.

I guess fired is another way of saying that.

For all of the making out I'm gonna be doing later

with the men of "Scarlet."

How long will this continue?

Hard to say, Mitz. It's real fun.

Red. Follow.

My accessories shoot needs a photographer, someone new.

You use them three times, and they think

that they're creative partners, not hired guns.

Just get someone who can shoot product

and who can make it pop.

I already have an idea. A photographer.

I've been tracking him on Instagram.

He's gotten real hot real fast.

Then why are you still standing here?

No good reason.

I think plus-sized model Tess Holliday will agree to do

a top ten fashion trends story for our Snapchat,

and I'm totally geeking out.

I love hearing you get excited about your work.

What about you? How was your morning?

Didn't you have that meeting?

Mm-hmm. I did.

I met with a few galleries.

No one has availability right now, but...

at least I have time to get organized,

get inspired.

Time's kinda something you don't really have, though,

with your visa and all.

Yes, but until I find a gallery,

I just have to focus on creating the work.

Well, have fun.

Thank you.

Hey, Alex. Hey.

Is that Le Labo?

Yes. Body wash.

Wow.

Did you have a question? Yes, I do.

Do you still have the hookup with the Yankees?

I'm trying to book this photographer.

He's from the Bronx. Pelham123.

And according to his Instagram, he loves the Yankees, so...

figured I'd sweeten the deal with some tix.

Straight to the bribery.

It's called greasing the skids, kid.

Someday I'll show you how the world really works.

Can you get these to Oliver?

Yeah.

Cleo. Hi.

Jacqueline. Hello.

Terrific-looking issue you've got in the works.

You know, in the board's mind,

this whole theme of body positivity is evergreen.

Good. There's just one thing.

This piece on being fit and fat...

the science on that isn't really there yet.

Well, it's not really a scientific article.

We're just normalizing the notion that there's no one ideal body type,

which I think is a very important message to convey.

But we still need to promote health.

Body positivity is about self-love,

self-acceptance, which is very healthy.

Listen, you can fight this if you want, but...

you're really swimming upstream.

You should pull it.

The men on the board agree.

I just wanted to give you a little heads-up.

Well, thank you for that, Cleo.

Of course.

We really need to look out for each other.

We do. Mm.

So I'm just gonna head back upstairs, then.

Good. Hmm. Bye.

Bye-bye.

I left... Why'd I leave?

That is a great question.

Mm-hmm. Yes, I am that girl.

Where was I previously? "Scarlet" magazine.

"Scarlet" magazine. No, thank you for your time.

Great question.

This place is disgusting.

Oh, my goodness. Wow.

It is so fresh and so clean. Do you see this?

Wow, wow, wow. Damn.

Oh, now this makes sense.

Step away from the cleaning supplies.

You gotta stop. It's therapeutic,

and I honestly don't know what to do with myself right now.

The fridge is nice and clean.

That was my 3:00.

Please tell me color coordinating the bookshelf was not your happy hour.

Look, it has been a rough day.

I brought you some "Scarlet" swag.

What is this? Ooh.

A nervous breakdown kit. Cute.

Yeah, guys, it turns out that Tiny Jane is not so great at being unemployed.

It's been one day. Have you met me?

You know what else?

All of the answers to your problems are in that bag.

Come back to "Scarlet." Nonstarter.

Why? Because I told Jacqueline

that I need to broaden my horizons.

I'm not gonna go crawling back.

Hello.

Yes, this is Jane Sloan.

It's a job.

Yes, thank you.

That was impressive.

She's calling every friend she knows.

She'll have a job in, like, two weeks.

Yeah, probably.

The house has never been this clean, though.

I'm really gonna miss it.

Ah, yes. Alex got the Yankees tickets.

What now?

I'm trying to get this really cool photographer

for an accessories shoot that I'm doing.

Oh. I really wanna introduce Oliver

to somebody new and cool, you know?

Yeah, hey, um...

crazy idea... uh, what about Adena?

For the photographer? Yeah.

I mean, you've seen her work, right?

Yeah, she's... amazing.

But she does, like, gallery stuff, right?

Not really editorial.

Yeah... I'm sure she could, though.

Okay. Um...

does she have a portfolio and a résumé?

Mm-hmm. I can get it to you.

Great.

Awesome. Cool.

You guys...

I have a job interview.

Cheers.

Yeah, apparently this editor at "Next Century" got my résumé

and he wants to meet with me tomorrow.

Cool. Thank you so much for all this food.
