The Bold Type

Previously on "The Bold Type"...

- You like him. - He is my employee.

- That wasn't a no. - No, it wasn't.

I didn't expect to feel this way.

I know it's not ideal.

Really excited to have you onboard, Addison.

Your reporter going after a woman that I slept with

seemed like you're targeting her.

The story has to be completely bulletproof.

You can trust me.

They're calling me a cuck.

"Our current political climate has turned most men softer

than a flaccid phallus... case in point, this guy."

- What are you doing? - I am clapping back.

That is impressive, a NRA card-carrying Republican.

I really don't like her.

She is so lucky that she's on the board at Safford.

Why do I get the feeling that you and Eva

are more than podcast pals?

I don't want children.

This is a life decision that you made without me.

Richard left me.

I'm gonna go home, home to Harrisburg.

- Sutton Brady. - Oh, hey, Billy.

You're just like your mother.

Who I am is a person that does not need this anymore.

- Are you okay? - Mm-hmm.

Right now, I just need a little music,

little you guys.

Why did you let us get that drunk on a weeknight?

Sutton.

Sutton, you gotta go to work.

Ow!

You know, I don't know what hurts worse:

My head or my jaw.

Okay, you know, I sincerely thought

that you were an intruder, so...

An intruder that grabs people's feet?

It's called "Dateline," Jane. Watch it.

Did we go shopping?

You don't remember?

I do, and these fries are so good.

No.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Also, you have...

- Hey! - Thank you.

What, are you gonna wear that all day?

Yes.

Now they're even.

Okay, what happened last night?

You wanted wings, so we went to Hooters.

Um... do I work there?

- Where's my Amex? - Oh, you left it at the bar.

- No. - Yeah.

That's why, when we got to Hooters, we couldn't pay.

Oh, so I got a job.

No, you actually convinced the kitchen

that you worked there, and then you waited on us.

That's pretty awesome.

Were you trying on dresses for the ad sales conference?

I must have been.

Jaqueline said that I'm the future of "Scarlet,"

so no pressure at all.

- Not in that dress. - Okay, you're judging me?

- Hooters is a great establishment. - _

- Help me out. - _

Back me up.

- Hey. - What?

- Everything okay? - Yeah.

I just have to get ready for work, so...

Yeah, you know what?

I should... shower at home...

or, at... Richard's.

Does anybody know where my clothes are?

Oh, you know what?

I will go and grab my stuff,

and I will come get ready with you.

- You will? - Yeah.

It's on the way to work.

Oof, I was so hurting,

but there's just something about a New York bagel.

Yeah, I mean, it made me feel human again,

but I do think we could've gotten more.

- Oh, same. - Hey, mimosas?

You'll never guess why.

- Too soon. - I'll take one.

- What? Hair of the dog. - Hmm.

Hey, can we talk later?

Yeah, of course.

- He likes you. - Okay, he works under me.

Don't.

Ah, I see you all have your celebratory drinks,

as do I, because tomorrow is our overnight retreat,

where we'll have fresh air and a change of scenery

to spark creativity,

which is exactly what we need to prepare

for next week's ad sales conference.

As you all know, ad dollars are hard to come by,

which means we have to make a splash.

And I have faith that we will,

and so does Carson Kressley,

as some of you have discovered.

Carson will be joining us at the retreat

and leading us in some creative workshops.

Oh, you can also thank him for the champagne.

Admit it, you're freaking out.

The original "Queer Eye" did get me through college.

This retreat is essential to our success

with the advertisers, so whatever needs to get done,

let's make sure it gets wrapped up today.

- To "Scarlet." - To "Scarlet."

Jacqueline?

I know that I pushed hard

on the "States and Nations" story last night,

and it was uncomfortable

because it involves the woman that Ian...

Hey.

- You look puffy. - Andrew.

Oh, my God, that one sip of champagne must have gone

- straight to my head, sorry. - Yeah.

Anyways, I just want to make sure that...

Stop.

You were right to push.

If Nicole really is turning a blind eye

to those women's abuses,

then my personal connection is irrelevant.

I appreciate that.

- Is that all? - Um...

Nicole agreed to... meet me today.

You should meet her.

Okay.

No, no, bad idea.

- Two skinny caps. - Yes.

- That'll be 10.95. - Oh, shoot.

I forgot my wallet,

but my coworker will be right down.

I got it, Manny, and I will take a cold brew, please.

Thanks.

Wow, chivalry is alive and handsome.

Just doing my civic duty.

Depriving someone of coffee in the morning would be criminal.

Mm-hmm, yeah.

So do you work in the building?

Yeah... well, not anymore.

Today's my last day, actually.

Oh, okay.

Hey, sorry. I got stuck on a call.

Oh, that's okay. Green eyes bought our coffees.

- Thank you. - All right, thanks.

I'm Alex.

- Alex Crawford? - Yeah?

Joey Faulk from "Pinstripe."

Actually, from nowhere now, thanks to you.

You got fired?

What'd you think would happen?

Look, hey, man, you posted something homophobic.

Yeah, I made a bad joke eight years ago.

It was insensitive, but I'm not homophobic.

I would never say that today.

Thanks to you, it looks like I did.

Thank you.

- Nicole Keating? - Yes.

Hi. Jane Sloan from "Scarlet."

- Thank you for seeing me. - Sure.

How can I help you?

I heard one of your support staff filed a complaint

against a senior editor for harassment.

Well, if a complaint was filed,

then, we looked into it.

Well, that's the thing.

My source says that you were made aware and you did nothing.

Is that true?

Your source. Is that Cynthia?

So you do know about this.

That she works long hours and does some personal errands?

Yes.

So you have no problem with the fact

that he asks her to clean up his office after he has sex?

That's not a fact.

Cynthia was never asked to do that.

- How do you know? - Because I looked into it.

Did you look into it thoroughly?

What exactly are you suggesting?

I hear that you and Mark Afton are old friends.

And you think I let my personal feelings

affect my professional decisions.

- It happens. - Not to me, it doesn't.

But to your boss, apparently, it does.

You should go.

Now.

Excuse me.

I was wondering if you could help me find

Mark Afton's assistant?

I'm his assistant. How can I help you?

My name's Jane Sloan.

I'm a writer for "Scarlet Magazine,"

and, um...

I'm investigating a claim that your boss is abusive.

Well, that claim is false.

Look, if he is mistreating you or anyone you know,
