- You're ready to introduce me
as your girlfriend,

but you're not ready
to go down on me?

- I guess I was
a little, uh,

worried and scared.

- Everyone knows that Sutton
has been sleeping with him.

It's the only reason
she's getting

all these styling credits.
- It's a gamble.

All of it.
But I'm putting my money down

on my career and believing

that love will fall in place.

- My first subject
is Emma Cox.

- I love that a customer knows
a homeless woman

is gonna benefit
from her purchase.

- Three of our clients
wound up in the hospital

with infections.
- Jane.

So in about one minute,
your vertical's

going to go live.
Just a heads-up,

I made a few adjustments.
- Oh, shit.

- Enjoy your Squeeze Press!
- Thank you.

- Hey.
- Where are you?

- Squeeze Press.
At a table facing the office.

- Wait, what? I thought we said
the Midtown location?

I've been looking forward
to this all morning!

- Why would we go to Midtown?

- Because that's where
my appointment was.

Hold on, it's Jane.

Are you at
the Midtown location?

- I'm at the Brooklyn location,
like we discussed.

both: Brooklyn?
- I'm in Midtown.

- Yeah, and I'm in
Madison Square Park.

- I'm dying to know.
- Okay, just tell us.

- How was it?
- Well...

then you know
where to find me.

Oh, and ladies?

It's worth it.
- Kat!

- First one there
gets the details.

- No!

- Yes, yes, yes!
- No! No!

No!

- Oh, my God,
I can't believe you guys.

And, Jane, your shoes.
- Oh, please, she doesn't care.

- Yeah, the only thing
I care about right now

is you telling us
what it was like

to go down on Adena.

- Go ahead.

- Well, uh,
it was awesome.

I mean, I was completely
freaked out at first.

- Of course.
- Who wouldn't be?

- Then I realized

I have one of these,
and I know what I like.

So, I did it.

And I liked it. A lot.

- Ooh!
- That's amazing.

- And things with Adena
are awesome.

- God, I miss Richard sex.
- Oh, babe.

You just need a distraction.

- I just want
to like a guy again, you know?

- Yeah.

- Oh, great.

I have to go deal with this
Emma Cox takedown.

- Actually,
we have to go too.

Jacqueline pitch meeting.
- All right.

Uh, hey.
Baby?

The Emma Cox thing
is gonna be fine.

- Mm...
- Mm-kay.

Guys, are you gonna
walk with me like this?

both: Yeah.
- Let's go.

Off to work.

Hey, Victoria.
Do you have a second?

- What's up?

- My piece on Emma Cox
is completely different

than what I handed in.

- Do you know why
we call this place "Incite"?

- Because it--

- Because we incite
conversations.

Your nuanced piece
on when good intentions go bad

didn't do that.

But the part where Emma Cox
brands OTR as charitable,

even after her product
makes homeless women sick

was interesting.

So I made that the article.

- I get that.
Um...

It's just, you hired me
for my voice--

- When it aligns
with "Incite's" brand.

You just missed the mark
this time.

- I just wish
that I would have seen it

before it went live.
At--at "Scarlet"--

- This is not "Scarlet,"
Jane.

- Right.

- Another hero caught
beating off on camera.

- How hard is it to keep
your junk in your trunk?

- I don't think
you're using that right.

- Not the point.
- When in doubt,

don't pull it out.
- Exactly.

Not that hard.

- Ooh, I do not envy
any of you

having to navigate dating
in this climate.

So there is something else
that we need to talk about.

Our allies.

The guys who show up
at women's rallies,

and who speak up
when others are silent.

I want to do a roundup
of honorable men.

Good doctors,
firefighters,

human rights activists.

Alex, you'll do the interviews.

And we'll make it
a fashion spread.

- Can't we just do
a write-up?

You know how I hate styling
the general population.

- I have faith in you, Oliver.

And you have
a great support staff.

And a meditation app,
if you need it.

Kat,
we need to bank some content

for Snapchat,
and this photo shoot

will be a perfect place
to start.

Hashtag "they're not all bad,"

you know--
you make that better.

- Yeah.
- All right, so,

what's in the hopper for
our "Love and Lust" section?

- Uh, household appliances
that will charge up

your sex life.
- Electric toothbrush.

- What?

- What, nobody else...

- And a Waterpik.

- People still use those?
- They will,

after they read my article.
- Hmm.

Give me your top six.
- Sure.

- All right, everyone,
that's it.

Uh, Kat, can you
hang back for a moment?

- Sure.

- Now that you are
a department head,

I'm going to need your bio

for speaking engagements
and media tie-ins.

I really want you out there
as the face of social.

- Great.
- You do have a bio, right?

- I have...

A Twitter bio
and an Insta bio.

- All right, well,
I'm gonna need something

a little bit more professional.
You know,

just a couple paragraphs,
make it interesting.

People are gonna want to know
who Kat Edison is.

- Okay.

- Richard.
Good to see you.

To what do I owe this honor?

- A board seat
just became available.

- Oh.
Did someone die,

or move to Boca?

- Stanley Rogers retired

to spend more time
with his family.

- And you're telling me this
because...

- I think you should go for it.

It'd be a lot of fun
to have you upstairs.

- We could really

shake things up
from the inside.

- Mm, that would be fun,
and I love the idea

of another woman
being upstairs.

But you and I both know
I'm not leaving "Scarlet."

Unless, of course,
that's no longer a conflict.

- No, it is.

I figured
it was a long shot,

but you can't blame a guy
for trying, right?

Well, keep me updated
on who they find.

- Of course.

- Everything else good?

- Yeah, good enough.

- Red.
Men like you.

Walk with me.

- Figures.
- You don't know this,

well, because you're young,

but styling
the general population

is hell,
even if they are handsome.

Which is why I want you
to be my right hand.

- Got it.
- And my left.

Here's your binder
of extraordinary men.

Pick five who can be here
in the morning.

- Tomorrow morning?
- You'll need to fit them.

These are not models,
so they are not

one size fits all.

Oh, and Red,
these guys are amateurs

when it comes
to photo shoots,

so they're going to need
a lot of hand-holding.

You're welcome.

- "Emma Cox is a fraud."

Oh, my God,
this is crazy.

Are "Incite" readers
always this harsh?

- Yep.

And I take it
you don't agree with them.

- Yeah, because they only have
one side of the story.

I mean,
she did one bad thing,

and it wasn't on purpose.

- Oof! Brutal.

- Come on,
we have a pitch meeting.

- Yeah, I'll be there
in a second.

- Hi, this is Emma Cox.

Please leave a message.

- Hi, Emma.
This is Jane Sloan

from "Incite."
I just wanted to say

how sorry I am.

- Ooh, working on your bio?

- Kind of.

- Is that Susan and Marcus?

Yeah.

- Huh.

- I want you to meet them.

I'm supposed
to have dinner with them

tomorrow night,
so maybe we could

invite them over, or...

- Um...

are you sure
you want me to be there?

I know you've never introduced
anyone you were dating

to your parents before.

- Yes, I'm sure.

- Not to mention,
a woman.

- They know. They're cool.

They want to meet the person
I'm crazy about.

- Okay.

Then, uh,
I'd better do my research.

- Mm-hmm.

- Each page just keeps getting
better and better.

- Their careers
are very impressive.

- Who are you?
"Their careers

are very impressive?"
Have you even looked

at this binder?
- It's a binder

of professional men.

It is a binder of hot men,

and you get to fit them.

- Because men like me.

- Okay, someone's cocky.

- Oliver's words, not mine.

Do you think Oliver
wants my help

because he heard
people talking,

and he thinks
I'm the office flirt?

- No.

I think he wants your help

because you're good
at your job.

- All right.
- But that doesn't mean

you can't still enjoy
some eye candy

with your best friend.

How cute is this guy?

And he's a doctor.

With a free clinic.

I think I have an itch.

- You do know this is
a round-up of good guys

in light of all
the sexual harassment claims?

- Oh,
and I'm objectifying them.

- Yeah.

- I see the irony,
and I'm okay with it.

Why did I leave
"Scarlet," again?

- Because you wanted to do
hard-hitting journalism.

- Well, you know
what I would hit hard?

That.

Oh, what is this?

What the hell is
"Sorry Not Sorry Jane Sloan"?

It's getting retweeted
like crazy.

Hi, Emma.
This is Jane Sloan

from "Incite."
I just wanted to say

how sorry I am.

That's not the article
I wrote.

It was turned
into a total hit piece.

Call Kat.
- Yeah.

- If you could give me a call
when you get this,

that would be great.

- Great.
956 retweets.

How could she do this?

She put my voicemail
on Twitter.

Why would she humiliate me
like this?

I was trying to apologize.

Maybe I should just email her
my original article,

and she'll take it down.
both: No.

- Have you learned nothing
from this experience?

- Well, I should at least
email Victoria

and tell her what happened--
- Hey!

Do not touch...
- No, no.

- The computer.

- But Victoria is--
- Will handle it.

Remember when
the stripper sued you?

Jacqueline took care of it.

This is way above
your pay grade.

- Wonderful.

"Sorry Not Sorry" is trending.

Not the Demi Lovato version.

- Yeah, but it's totally
gonna blow over.

Right, Kat?
- Absolutely.

These things have
a 24-hour lifespan.

- Just wanted to say
how sorry--

so-so-sorry I am.

How sorry I am.

This is Jane-Jane-Jane

Jane-Jane-Jane Sloan.
I just wanted to say

how sorry--
so-so-sorry I am.

How sorry I am.

This is Jane-Jane-Jane
Jane-Jane-Jane Sloan.

I just wanted to say
how sorry--

so-so-sorry I am.
- Sorry.

How sorry I am.

- It's not funny.

- Hi, can I help you?

- Tim Benson.
NYFD lieutenant.

- Sage,
"Scarlet" sex writer.

- I'm here for a fitting.

We all are.
- Okay.

Oh, right!

Right, uh,

sit tight,
I will be right back.

- Okay.

- Whoops! Excuse me.

Sutton, there's some men
in reception.

Real men. Not models.

- People with impressive jobs.

- Uh, yeah. Right.
Whatever.

Uh, do you want me to wait
with the guys in reception?

I really don't mind.
- That's okay.

Just send them over to me.

- Okay, if you need anything,

I am--
- Just send 'em on down.

- Okay.

- Hey.
Can I ask you a favor?

- What's up?
- Okay, I was just wondering

if you could take a look
at my bio

and make sure it's reading okay
before I give it to Jacqueline.

- I'd be honored.

Hmm. Hmm.

- Oh, my God, I--

I already hate this.
I could never be a writer.

- Well, see,
the key is to add

as much detail as possible.
- Okay.

- Like, you could
add the fact that you're black.

It'll read something like,
"Kat Edison

"is 'Scarlet' magazine's

first black female
department head."

See, that sounds impressive.

- Yeah,
but it's also irrelevant.

You know,
I'm a department head.

That has nothing to do
with the color of my skin.

- Okay...

it's a big part
of who you are.

- Yeah,
but I'm also part white,

and no one asked me
to write that down.

- Not the same thing,
but okay.

- Uh, any other suggestions?

- Yeah...

Kat, you have
this really cool opportunity

to be a role model
for young black girls.

Don't you want that?

- Why would you ask me that?
Of course I want that.

But I want it regardless
of my race,

not because of it.

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

- But you're black
on the inside too, Kat.

- Oh, really?

Are--are you questioning
my blackness right now?

Because, uh,
up until very recently,

you were wearing khakis
and cardigans,

which is just about the whitest
fashion statement imaginable.

- That is
an interesting projection

of internalized racism.
- Oh, cool.

So now I'm a racist?
- I didn't say that.

- Yeah, you didn't have to.

This'll only take a second.

- Oh, no problem.

- When in "Scarlet,"
am I right?

- If you're Sutton,
then yes.

- Why do you get all
the good assignments, Sutton?

- It's 'cause men like her.

At least that's why
Oliver gave her the job.

- We're--
we're just jealous.

- Speak for yourself.

- Don't listen to them.

- Oh!

- Okay, you're good!
You can...

put your clothes back on now.

- Thank you.

- Remember:
measure twice, cut once.

- I just wanted to say
how sorry--

so-so-sorry I am.

How sorry I am.

This is Jane-Jane-Jane

Jane-Jane-Jane Sloan.

I just wanted to say
how sorry--

so-so-sorry I am.

How sorry I am...

Victoria, I'm--

I'm so sorry.
- Apparently.

Those words just seem
to flow out of your mouth.

- I know I screwed up.

I should have never
contacted Emma, but--

- You did screw up.
We just need

to change the narrative
and show that "Incite"

is a serious publication.

I've already booked
an interview on NY14.

Oh, thank you so much
for taking care of this.

- Me?

No. You're going on television,
and it's live.

Have we media trained you yet?

- No.

- Okay, you ready?

- I was born ready.

Just another one of the things
I love about you.

Oh!

Coming!

Hey.
- So good to see you.

- Oh...

- Hey, babe. Come here.

Hey, missy.

Mom, Dad,

this is Adena.

- It's so good
to meet you, Adena.

- Such a pleasure.

- And, uh...

so nice to meet you,
Dr. Edison--

- Ah, hey. Marcus.
- Marcus.

- Come on, come on.

- Wardrobe came in
for tomorrow,

and unless one
of your honorable men

is a pirate...

- I must have written
the measurements down wrong.

- I thought you grew up
making your own clothes.

Or was that just a story
you sold me to get you hired?

- No, I made
my entire wardrobe.

- Good. Then you can fix this.

And whatever's going on,
for the love of God,

get it together.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- After you.

- Uh, I just realized
I forgot something.

- I mean, I went to him
for a simple suggestion,

and then he told me
that I should add the fact

that I'm the first
black female department head.

I just don't really see

how that kind of detail
is necessary.

Your bios don't list your race.

- Because it has nothing
to do with our ability

to treat patients.
- Exactly!

The color of my skin
has no bearing

on my performance
as a department head.

- No one said it did.

- Well, Alex seems to think
it's my responsibility

or something...
- No, your responsibility

is to be true to yourself
- Yeah.

You don't need labels
to do that.

- But...
why are labels a bad thing?

My bio literally reads,

"proud Muslim lesbian."

It's a part of who I am.

Why wouldn't I want
everyone to know?

- Oh.

Excuse me.

You know what,
this is Jacqueline,

so I'm just gonna take it
real quick.

I'll be right back.

- It's important you hit
all the talking points.

Other than admitting
you were wrong to call Emma,

and apologize,
this is not about Jane Sloan.

It's about preserving
the integrity of "Incite."

It's about?
- Uh, "Incite" being

a hard-hitting,
factually accurate news outlet.

- Exactly.

Emma Cox misrepresented
her organization.

How did she misrepresent
her organization?

- Uh, by calling
the company "charitable,"

even after her product

made a group
of homeless women sick.

- Remember, "Incite" chases
the stories that matter,

even when it's difficult.
- And, um...

what if they ask me about

why I reached out
to apologize to Emma?

- Tell the truth.

You're new to "Incite"
and hard-hitting journalism.

And you got
too personally invested.

And, Jane, your style.

You're gonna have
to lose all of that

for the interview.

You're representing "Incite"
now.

Not "Scarlet."

- Of course.

- So...

she's great, right?
- She is.

- Dad?
- What are her parents like?

- Uh...

honestly,
I don't really know.

I mean, she talks
to her mom a lot,

but I don't know much
about her dad.

I think she left home
kind of early.

- That's interesting.
- Oh, please,

do not psychoanalyze
my girlfriend.

- Marcus.
- No, what?

I mean she's rebellious,
the way she insists

on people knowing who she is
and what she stands for.

- Mm-hmm.
- It just seems almost...

adolescent.
- Okay, how about this?

How about,
"Thanks for dinner, Kat."

And, "I'm glad
to see you happy."

- Thanks for dinner, Kat.

- Good night.

I'm so happy you're home.
- Yeah.

- Love you, baby.
- Bye.

- I always thought
side-by-side washer and dryers

were a waste of space
until now.

Did you know that women

can have six different kinds...

it's not important.

- Okay.
- So let me guess.

Another old white guy.

- You wanted a woman, right?

We got Cleo Williams.
- The digital fitness mogul?

Yeah.
Her perspective is impressive,

and since we're revamping
our online image,

made sense to bring her on.

- Send me her contact info.

I want to welcome her properly.

- Your parents seem lovely.

- Yeah.

You know, they try.

Even though
they are psychiatrists.

Well, they didn't
mess you up.

Yeah, I hope not.

- You know,
what I said earlier, um,

about your bio.
It's up to you.

- Yeah, I know.
- We all have our own way.

And mine has always been
to put it all out there.

I--I can't imagine
living any differently.

But...

that's just how I do things.

Doesn't make my way

or Alex's way any better

or worse than yours.

- Uh, Jacqueline?
This is Cleo.

- Oh, Cleo!

I'm so happy
you could stop by.

- Oh, are you kidding?
I am thrilled

to finally meet you.

I've been a fan of yours
since I was in my 20s.

Well, now you're here

on the board,
overseeing "Scarlet."

- Mm.
- Uh, please.

- Thank you.
- Coffee?

- Oh, no,
that stuff will kill you.

- Well, I am hearing
many wonderful things about you

from the board.
- Oh.

- They are very excited.
- Well, I am hugely excited

for the opportunity.
Particularly,

the change to expand digital.

- What made you want
to get into the digital space

to begin with?
- Besides the fact

that it's the future
of everything?

- You do know that
our print magazine

sets the trends,
and digital comments on them.

- Yes, of course.
But, in my experience,

I've seen the power
of the internet.

When I first started,
I was just a bored mom,

making these workout videos

to share
with my other mom friends.

Now I run a fitness empire
that reaches millions

from the palm of my hand.

And it allows me
to have dinner on the table

every night
for my family.

I can have
my homemade rice cakes

and eat them too,
I guess.

- All while doing squats.

- And taking selfies.

- Should we take one
for my Instagram followers?

I think they'd be really
thrilled to see an image of me

with Jacqueline Carlyle.

- Sure.
- Okay.

- Sutton, a bit of help?

- Uh...

- Hands-on, Red.

- Uh, let me help you.
- Yeah.

- All right.
- Cool, thanks.

- You're only eating
the green ones.

What's wrong?
- Nothing, I'm fine.

- Mm.

How about a Boomerang?
- Okay.

- It's social media,
be positive.

- Red!

- We going with that one?
- That's fine.

- Mm-hmm.

- We have a problem.

Apparently
he can deliver a baby

without breaking a sweat,
but ask him to smile

for the camera, and he freezes
like a deer in headlights.

Go over there and get--
get him to relax,

for the love of God.
I need good photographs.

- I'm a glorified fluffer.

- How's it going, Kat?
- I am getting great snaps.

- Good, good.
How's your bio coming?

- Bio.
Uh, yeah.

It's almost done.
- Yeah? Good.

I need it on my desk
tomorrow morning.

- You got it.

- Still sitting
on that bio, huh?

- I really don't feel
like talking.

- I didn't mean for things
to get so heated.

- Nope, it's all good.

- I just thought
that you--

you've always been
this super confident badass.

You speak your mind.
You stand up for what you want.

Point is, you never back down.

Not with your friends,
not your girlfriend,

and definitely
not with work.

But when I brought up
adding "black" to your bio,

a wall goes up?

- Yeah, you're right.

Do you know how everyone
always wants to...

be able to put you
in a box, right?

- Mm-hmm.
- Black, white,

girl, boy.

Even those standardized tests
they make you take as a kid.

You know, where you have to
fill in the bubbles?

I remember
getting to the section

that says,
"Select your race,

Caucasian
or African-American,"

you don't have
any other choice--

and thinking...

like, how do I pick?

I mean, 'cause if...

if I pick, uh...

if I pick black,
then I'm rejecting my mom.

And if I pick white,
then I'm rejecting my dad.

- So what did you pick?

- Well, actually,
I just left it blank.

It was easier to deny both
than to pick one.

- But...

you're not a kid anymore.

And standing up
for who you are matters.

- Yeah, I know.

- Chad Horford.
Nice to meet you.

- Jane Sloan.

- You're nervous.
Don't be nervous.

- It's the first time
I've done something like this.

- Ah, don't worry about it.
It'll be good.

We're on air in two seconds.

Hello, New York.
If you're a fan of "Incite,"

then you've probably heard
of Jane Sloan,

best known for her apology
to OTR's Emma Cox

that went viral.
Now, Jane is here

to set the record straight
in her own words.

- Thank you for having me.
- We have a full slate,

so let's get right to it.
You wrote an article

on Emma Cox, which,

according to your now
very public apology,

was heavily edited.

So what happened?

Is "Incite"
fabricating their stories?

- No.

"Incite" is a hard-hitting,
factually accurate news outlet.

She misrepresented her company
as a charitable organization,

and "Incite" readers deserve
to hear that story

as much as anything else.

- Even though it caused her

to lose funding
for her company?

- I allowed myself to get
too personally invested

in Emma Cox.

- Hmm. I'm sure there are a lot

of aspiring journalists
watching right now

who appreciate your candor.

Well, there you have it.
Setting the record straight,

that's Jane Sloan.
We'll be right back

to meet New York's--
- I'm sorry,

if I could just say...

Um...

I do think that Emma Cox

is making great strides
for women.

She is revolutionizing
feminine hygiene.

Her cups are eco-friendly
and affordable.

- Okay, are--
are you saying--

- I'm saying
that she made one mistake:

not recognizing
the sanitary conditions

needed for her product.

But people make mistakes.

And if they're good people,
they course-correct.

Which Emma did, when she made
new disposable cups

for less optimal conditions.

- So, "Incite"
was factually inaccurate.

- I think that
we're all so quick

to take each other down,

to find someone to blame.

"Incite" is not all right
or all wrong,

just like Emma Cox
is not all good

or all bad.

And when we
sensationalize people

for the purpose
of getting more eyes

on a story,
that story gets lost.

- Okay, then.

Something for all of us
to think about.

Thank you for coming.
- Thank you.

- We'll be right back.

- And, we're clear.

- That was great.

- This guy
needs to relax.

What do you think?

- How's it going?

- I don't feel like myself
at all.

- I know exactly
what you mean.

You're on display.
You're being judged.

- I don't know about that.

- It's not a good feeling.

- Red!

What the hell
is going on?

Okay, you can't take
simple measurements,

you can't fix a guy's tie,

and that guy looks
more uncomfortable now

than when I asked you
to talk to him.

- Oliver.
Let me handle this.

- What's wrong?
- Um...

some of the assistants
found out

about me and Alex.

- And you went through
the proper HR channel, so...

- No, I know.
We're not together.

Not since you caught us
in the stairwell.

- Oh.

Okay, um...

so what's the problem?

- When the assistants
found out,

they started to talk
about Alex giving me

preferential treatment.

That's not why
I was getting the assignments.

I know that.
- No, of course not.

- But then Oliver assigned me
this photo shoot.

He could have picked anybody,

and he chose me
because he thinks

that I work well with men.

I felt people in the office
judging me for that.

And I started
to second-guess

how I carry myself,
and how I...

use my sexuality--
- Sutton.

You are a people person.

And men are people.

- It's that simple.

- It's just with everything
that's been going on lately--

- Yes, it is undoubtedly...

a very complicated time
for men and women

in the workplace.

I mean, as stories continue
to come out,

we're all checking ourselves,
but we cannot lose sight

of who we truly are.

And we cannot dim our light
that makes us special.

You have a magnetic
personality, Sutton.

That is a good thing.

Don't let anybody
tell you otherwise.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Now, you get back out there,

and make that person--

- Photogenic, please.

- I'm on it.

Okay, Ben.
You want to finish this up,

I'm here to help you
make that happen.

Let's talk, just me and you.
- Okay.

- Okay.

Question number one:

why are you doing this?

- It's good press
for the clinic.

- Mm-hmm.
So is taking out an ad.

What are you not telling me?

Did you lose a bet?

- I don't gamble.
- Really?

- But if you must know,
I have a list of things

that make me uncomfortable.
- A list.

So what,
like a reverse bucket list?

- Mm-hmm.
Being photographed

is one of them.
- Okay.

So you enjoy
being uncomfortable.

- No, I hate it.

- But it reminds me
that I'm alive, so...

- Alive and uncomfortable?

That sounds terrible.

- It does, doesn't it?
- Yes!

That is so weird.

I'm just kidding.

- That's it.
All right.

Got it. Next.

- Thanks for meeting me.
- Of course.

Everything okay?

- Yeah.

Yep.

- What is it?

- Why are we...

so against
labeling ourselves?

- Uh, well,
I guess it's because

your mother and I,
we feel that, um,

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

- Right, but...

I kind of think
it's more than that.

The other night,
you asked me...

about Adena's parents.

So what about
your parents, Dad?

I mean I know everything
about grandma and grandpa.

But...

I don't know anything
about Dad's side

of the family.

So why is that?

- My childhood
was a lot different

from yours, Kat.

I grew up with blacks
on one side of the city

and whites on the other.

The label of race?

We didn't want that for you.

And I don't think
we did such a bad job.

- You're confident.
You're successful.

- Everything you guys
are saying...

kind of just feels like
a way to avoid

really talking about it,
and I'm trying

to understand why.

- Maybe it's my fault.

When you were little,

and I would take you
to the park,

people assumed
you weren't biologically mine.

Maybe I avoided labels

because I just wanted
to be your mom.

I didn't want to be
your white mom.

- Sweetheart...

if we ever made you feel

that you cannot take ownership
of who you are...

That was not our intention.

- You're a grown woman.

You're beautiful,

smart, strong...

These are your choices
to make.

Not ours.

- Nice work today, Red.

Good to have you back.

- Hey, Jane.
How'd it go?

- Well,
I went off script,

so I'm not entirely sure.

But I feel good about it,
so that's something.

How was the shoot?
- You know what?

I love men.
And men love me.

And there's nothing
wrong with that.

- Well, that's cause
for celebration.

Should we get drinks?
- You read my mind.

There's just one thing
I have to do first.

- Kay.

- Hey, Mitzi.

So this slut-shaming thing
you're doing.

It's got to stop.
- I wasn't--

- You were.

I know it,
and, unfortunately,

a few of the assistants
also know it.

But we don't
tear each other down.

Not as women.

And definitely not as women
of "Scarlet."

If you want some competition,
I'm totally up for that,

but it has to be based
on merit and talent,

and not petty gossip.

Got it?
- Got it.

- Cool.
Hey, guys!

Who wants to get a drink?
- Let's do it.

- Yeah.
- Is that on your list?

- Cheers!

- Okay, how great
did everybody feel today?

- Awesome.
- You looked great.

You looked great,
you looked great,

and you looked great.
- Well, thank you.

- Come here.

There's somebody
that I want you to meet.

- Hi.
- Hi, Jane.

This is Ben.
Ben, this is Jane.

- Oh, my God!

- You guys
are both great people,

who like to make
really weird to-do lists.

Thank you

for the awkward introduction.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Uh, so...

both: Drinks.
- Yeah.

- Hello.

- Do you want to talk?

- Yeah, but not right now.

Right now,
I want to drink.

- I can make that happen.
Bartender!

- Tequila or tequila?
- Tequila.

- Thank you.

- Oh, I love this song.

I have to go dance.

- Oh, hey!

- Hey.

- Hey, morning.

- You going to work already?

- Yeah, I, uh...

promised Jacqueline
I'd have my bio in

first thing, so...

- These things can be hard
to look at.

- Yeah...

and especially
when you've been raised

with rose-colored glasses.

- You parents--

they did what they believed
was best for you

at the time.

- Yeah, I know.

But I also know
that I chose

to keep those glasses on.

Long after I moved out.

- Kat, it's...

it's okay.

Come here.

- Hey.
Thanks.

So what did you choose?

- I am "Scarlet" magazine's

first black female
department head.

- Sounds impressive.

And I'm so proud
to be biracial.

But...

for right now,
it feels important

to embrace this part
of myself.

- Hold that!

Thanks.
Oh, good morning, Richard.

- Jacqueline.

You get a chance to meet Cleo?
- I did.

- And...

- She won't be joining
our poker night,

if that's
what you're asking.

But I think she'll be
an asset to the board.

And a fresh perspective.

- Still wish you were riding
to the top with me.

- Maybe one day, Richard.
Not yet.

- Hi, Jacqueline,
it's Cleo.

I just saw the layout
for next month's issue.

It's gorgeous.
Had a few thoughts.

Call me, let's discuss.

- Victoria?
- Just the person

I wanted to see.
Have a seat.

We all make mistakes.

The important thing is
that we learn from them.

Yes, uh,

that's exactly
what I was going for

with my angle
on Emma Cox.

- I made a mistake recently...

when I thought you would be
a good fit for "Incite."

But I...

It was--
it was a good interview, I--

I did what you said.
I hit all my talking points.

- Jane,
you went on television

to represent "Incite."

You made it about yourself.
- No, I--

I was trying
to make a point--

- Jane. Stop.

You're fired.
