- Previously on
"The Bold Type"...

- Now that you are
a department head,

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

- I am "Scarlet" magazine's

first black female department head.

- I could write all about how
my mom was dying

from breast cancer when I was
in kindergarten.

- You are positive for
a mutation in the BRCA1 gene.

- Look, I made a mistake
running around around

with Brooke Langley,
and I just want you to know

that I'm gonna do whatever
it takes.

- How cute is this guy?
And he's a doctor.

What is your stance on
pre-marital sex?

- I think we're good.

- I just saw in
our magazine that

this position is called
a "Face-Off."

- What?

- Sorry, sometimes I just can't
stop being a "Scarlet" writer.

- Wait, it's really called
"Face-Off"?

Like the Nic Cage movie?
- Yeah.

- Sorry.

I keep seeing
Nicolas Cage's face.

A lil' better.

- I'll--

- What, are you seeing
Nicolas Cage again?

- No, the condom broke.

- Are you there yet?
- No, not yet.

- I still don't believe
that they'd Postmate

the morning-after pill.

- That's because you live on
the blissful island of Sappho

where people don't have
to worry about birth control.

Trust me, it's a thing.

- Okay, well,
it better be a thing.

- Look, I really think you and
I can handle this, Jane.

- Oh, look, Ben.
You should know by now

that we are a package deal.

You buy one; you get
the other two for free.

- Okay, when is
this guy getting here?

- As long as you take it
within 72 hours we're good.

Which means we still have
70 hours and 55 minutes.

- Okay, that must be him.

- Oh, Jane. Turn your phone
to face the computer

so that when I say,
"I told you so,"

I can see Kat's face.

- Okay, I have to go.
Bye.

- Told you it was a thing.

- Delivery for Jane Sloan?

- That's me.
- Oh, hi.

Dude at the pharmacy wanted me
to tell you this:

"Take it as soon as possible.
It will cause nausea,

and please consider using a
contraceptive in the future."

- Yeah, we were.

- For the record, my girlfriend
is very responsible, so...

- Did you just call me
your girlfriend?

- I did.
I hope that's okay.

- Yeah, just--you don't have to
because the whole condom thing.

- No. No. No. I've actually
wanted to for a while.

Can I officially call you
my girlfriend?

- Yeah, you can.

- Ah, hmm. Please.
Please, take this. Now.

- Thank you.

- How you holding up?

These side effects are really
kicking my ass.

- Sorry.

- You know, the same thing
happened to me when I took

the morning-after pill,
but the good news

is Oliver's in Paris
so I can use his juicer.

And I can make you a mango,
pineapple, turmeric smoothie.

That didn't help.
- No.

- I'll take one.
- Okay.

- Hey.

- Hey.
- Hi, what are you doing here?

- I'm--actually I'm freelancing
for "Porch & Garden."

Hemp: it's the new corn.

Don't judge.

Rough night?
- No, not really.

- Stomach flu? Pregnant?
Morning-after pill?

- Food pois--

Oh, okay. Jane, wild woman.

- Kat Edison?

Hi. I'm Cleo Williams.

I'm Safford's
newest board member.

- Oh, hi.

- You know, you're a bit
of a legend

up in the board room.
- Oh.

- I was wondering if I could
have a word with you.

- Sure.
- Great.

- Great.

- Kat, have you ever heard of
Whole Spa?

- They make the cleansers with
the rainbow labels, right?

- Yes, that's them.

They have a line
of inclusive beauty products.

They also make it
a point to cater

to women of all ages
and skin types.

And they've come to me

with an opportunity
for product integration.

- Okay, so you want my team
to start Insta-ing about them?

- Actually, they want you.

You would be the face
of the campaign.

- Me?

- Yes, they want
to feature you

in a series of Whole Spa
Instagram stories.

Kat,
you are the youngest

head of a department
at the magazine.

That is exactly
the type of influencer

that they want associated
with their products.

- Sorry, did you just call me
an influencer?

- Listen, you are
incredibly charismatic,

and you really have
this unique identity and story.

They just want to sit down
with you this afternoon

and have a little chat about
the campaign.

Would that be okay?

- Sure, okay.
- I will let them know.

- Don't forget about us
when you become

a famous spokesperson.

- I believe the term that she
used was actually influencer.

- Oh.

- Okay, this is pretty good.
- Yeah.

Told you not to doubt
the turmeric mango smoothie.

- So how long
is Oliver in Paris for?

- Like, five days.

- Well, I could get used
to these.

- Well, it's not all smoothies
and espresso drinks.

I'm in charge of inventory,
schedule,

and the budget
meeting today.

- See, someone's back in
Oliver's good graces.

- Hmm, it speaks.
- Yeah.

And it hurts.

- I say this with love,

but you look terrible.

- I feel nauseous and...

my head hurts,
and my boobs hurt,

and I'm dizzy.
Is this normal?

- I think you should call
your doctor

because she will probably
be able to prescribe

you something to offset
the side effects.

- I don't need to call
my doctor.

I am dating one.

- She works it
into literally...

both: Every conversation.

- Hello.
I'm right here.

- Hello, Jane.

- Do you think Ben got
weird last night

because of the religious stuff?

- No, it was fine.

He's Christian, not a character
on "Handmaid's Tale."

- Hi.

Yeah, no, I'm still
throwing up and stuff.

Any suggestions?

Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Okay. Thanks. Bye.

- So what did he say?

- He said I should call
my doctor

and see if she could give me
anything to fight the nausea.

- Wow.

- I'm not gonna say,
"I told you so."

- But we told you so.
- Okay.

I'm done with
both of you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So you ready for your
first budget meeting?

- Yeah, got my little espresso
and all this stuff.

Oliver said the hardest part
is staying awake.

Actually he told me
to smile and nod

and not sit next to Bob.

He doesn't believe
in deodorant.

- Okay, let's get
this party started.

First, with the good news.

The board has approved

the expansion
of the Paris issue.

Which means more of us can go
to Paris for Fashion Week.

Of course they are going
to extract a pound of flesh

in exchange, and they're asking
for cuts on the upcoming issue

to cover the Paris overages.

So let's just rip
that Band-Aid right off

and start with
Bob in distribution.

Can we cut 10%
out of this month's budget?

- Yes.

- Felicia, can you get 15%
out of events?

- I can do 10%.

- All right,
and another 10%

out of the fashion
department this month.

Oh, that's right, Sutton,
you're covering today, welcome.

I'm sure Oliver prepped you
and, so,

can we get 10% out?

- One second.

- We need to talk about where
that $20,000 went for travel...

- It's midnight in Paris;
he's probably sleeping.

- Sutton, would be
really great to get

an answer before we have
to put this issue to bed.

Well, he did say smile and nod.

- Sure.

- All right. Great.
Great.

Onward.

- Side effects should
start subsiding soon.

I'm just gonna give you
a prescription

for some anti-nausea
medication.

Just to be on the safe side.

- Thank you.
I feel better already.

- Wonderful, and this is
probably a good time to start

talking about
your fertility plan.

- Fertility plan?

- You need to be thinking
about whether

or not you want
to have children.

But I'm only 25.

- You're also a carrier
of BRCA gene mutation.

That is a game changer for you.
- Why?

I've been doing all
the screenings.

- I know.

I know, but you should
understand that the most

effective preventative
treatment involves

an oophorectomy.
- Oopherectomy?

- The medical term for having
your ovaries removed.

You need to start thinking not

just about prophylactic
measures but what

your reproductive plans are,
long-term.

- I-I don't understand.

- If kids are in your future,

you need to start thinking
about it now.

- So if I trim
a couple hundred

from the Marc Jacobs
accessories spread,

and I cut Thursday's
"Divas and Dives"

shoot budget in half...

I can make our new number.

- Look at you.
- Yeah.

- Finally putting that finance
degree to work.

Oh, no, what's wrong?

- Fashion closet.
- Yeah.

- Do you want me to come
to the fashion closet too?

- Do you want to?

I'm just gonna tell her
about my appointment

I just had with my gyno.

- I'ma sit this one out.

- Mm-hmm.

- So you have to start thinking
about having kids now?

- Sort of.

I have to start thinking about
thinking about it.

- Reese Witherspoon had
a baby when she was 22.

Adele was 24.

And Lauren always told me
that the best place

to network was at those
"Mommy and Me"

play date things.

That's not helping.
- No.

Do you want kids?

- I don't know.
I always thought I might.

But it was like
a distant future thing.

Like flying cars
or needing Botox.

When I try to picture myself
with kids, I just--I can't.

- Would you ever consider doing
it alone?

You know, like,
with a sperm bank.

- Like, with a turkey baster?

- Or how about the
old-fashioned sperm delivery:

Ben's penis.

- Okay.

It's a little too soon
to be talking about that.

Ben just called me
his girlfriend

for the first time last night.
- You made it official.

- Which is why it's too soon
to be putting this on him.

I haven't even told him about
my BRCA status.

I need to figure out
what I want

before I drag him into it.

- How you gonna do that?

- Well, I get paid
to ask questions

about things I want to know,
so...

I guess I'll just do that.

- I cannot tell you how
thrilled we are

about the prospect
of working together.

- Well, actually can tell me
'cause you just did.

- That's the
edgy Kat Edison sensibility

we're so excited about.

- So what kind
of Insta campaign

were you guys thinking about?

- We want you to make
the stories your own.

- Really?
- We do.

- You can riff on anything
you want to.

All we ask if that you mention
our cleansers

and three things
you like about them.

- Well, I've
actually never used

Whole Spa products before.

- You'll love them.

Organic, no animal testing,
biodegradable packaging,

totally carbon neutral.

We make products for women
of all ages and colors.

Products designed
to empower them,

not make them feel like
they need to live up

to some artificial
standard of beauty.

We just need you to give us
permission to use your image.

Here you go.
- Thank you.

- Kat, you found a way
to use your "Scarlet" platform

to make strong feminist
statements.

This is just a continuation
of that journey.

- Okay.

Well, I'm sold.
- Great.

- I want to be wowed.

- Stalker or Rom Com hero?

When is coming on strong,
too strong?

- Didn't you write about
the fine line between

love and suffocation
last month?

- Yes and no.

- Might be time to ditch
the clingy boyfriend.

- Alex, what do you got for me?

- The intersectional appeal
of Meghan Markle.

- I love that.
Great.

Jane, what about you?

You've been awfully quiet.
What do you got?

- I want to do a piece on
20-something-year-old mothers.

You know, how do they do it?
How do they balance careers?

Do they have a sex life?

- It's interesting,

but I'm not sure
it's right for you.

Well, I hear the best
networking happens

at those "Mommy and Me"
classes.

So how about...

are babies
the next must-have accessory

for young professionals?

- Yeah, I like it.
It's good.

Go talk to some young moms.

Really?

- Allow me.
- Hey.

- Look who's a gentlemen.

- I don't know what James told
you about me,

but I do have manners.

- And also unsuspected depth.
- Very unsuspected.

- Someone's birthday?
- No, it's my swag actually.

I'm, like, a spokesperson
for Whole Spa.

- You're a spokesmodel?
- Spokesperson.

I'm just gonna be featured
in some

of their Instagram
stories.

You're not the only one
with surprising skills.

- Whole Spa, huh?

- Why'd you say it like that?

- I have a friend who's doing
a deep dive into the company,

running an exposé
on them for "Vice."

- Huh, what kind of exposé?

- Well, you know how supposedly
they're super progressive?

Turns out their CEO
is a big donor

to the Family Research Council

and the Council of
Conservative Citizens.

- Aren't those, like,
racist, anti-LGBTQ groups?

- Big time.

- Now I know why they wanted me
to do it so badly.

I mean, who better
to inoculate the company

when the story breaks than
a queer black woman.

- Yeah.
- I see.

- Sorry.

- So they want you to be
their black bi bandaid?

- To cover up their racist,
homophobic boo-boo.

- What are you gonna do?

- Sure as hell not
gonna be their mascot.

Oliver?
- Who else?

Hey, Oliver,
I just got your text.

The only thing is
when you told me to nod,

I just--I thought
that meant say yes, so...

I know.

I know, okay, well,
bonsoir.

- Long-distance, pissed-off
Oliver is so much worse

than up-close-and-personal,
pissed-off Oliver.

He just found I want
to cut the budget for

the "Divas and Dive" shoot
to make our new number.

- I thought
that was a good thing.

- Well, the problem is now we
can't afford the location,

and shooting at Chad's was
the only reason

Oliver wanted to do the spread.

So basically it's my first
budget meeting--

and I blew it.

- Hey, so who wants
to go on a field trip?

- Where are we going?
- Hecksher playground.

- I've been juicing.
- Thank you.

I found a play group of
20-something-year-old moms

and their kids.

- Cool.

- Okay, are you gonna talk
to some moms?

'Cause I have to go back
to the office soon.

- I just--I want to watch for
a little longer.

- It's like Margaret Mead
found a new tribe.

- Yeah, breeders.

- Okay, I'm just trying to see
if I can picture myself here.

Aren't you guys curious?

- No, not really,
but then again

I'm pretty sure
I don't want kids, so...

- Why not?

- I don't know, first of all,
environmental reasons.

There are already too many
of us and too few resources.

- Yeah, I do, but I think
it's cause my mom sucked.

You know, I'd love
the opportunity to do better.

Give my kid or kids
the childhood I never had.

- I'm not seeing the allure
of being a human Kleenex.

- Okay, I'm going in.

Excuse me, hi.
- Hi.

- I'm a writer for
"Scarlet" magazine,

and I'm doing a story on
20-something-year-old moms

and I was wondering
if I could talk

to you for a few minutes?
- Sure.

- She's beautiful.
- Thank you.

- I work as a waitress
at night

so I have more time
for Jacob during the day.

But, not gonna lie,
I'm tired every minute

of every day.

But then I look
at his sweet face,

and I know it's all worth it.

- How has parenthood affected
your relationship?

- My husband and I have
to work at it more.

So we make sure
to have at least

two date nights a month.

- How do you juggle it all?

- My mom.

I couldn't do it without her.

She takes the kids on
our date nights

and takes them on the weekends
whenever she can

so I can catch up on some work.

- Mama! Help me.

- Could you just hold
him for a sec?

I have to go catch Tilly.

I'm coming, Tilly.

- Hey, Jane!

Jane, come here!
- This is so much fun!

- Wanna go out for dinner?

- I guess.

- Italian or Chinese?
- I don't know.

- Well,
how about Burgers and Brews?

Or Pauly G's or we could try
that new place--

- Maybe I don't want
to have to choose.

Maybe I don't know what I want.

- Are you still feeling
nauseous

from the morning-after pill?

- No, I'm just--

I'm just really stressed
about this article.

- What are you writing about?

- Just "Scarlet" stuff.

- Totally get it.

I'll leave you alone.

- I'm sorry, it's just--

writer's block
and surging hormones

are not a great combo.

- If you do have
a breakthrough,

I'm not working till
tomorrow afternoon, so...

- Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Hello, Jacqueline.

- Oh, hi, Sutton.
- Hi.

Is this a really bad time?

- Well, admittedly eyebrow
threading is never a good time.

- What can I help you with?

- Remember when I said
that the fashion department

could cut 10% of their budget
for next month's issue?

- I do.

- Turns out we can't cut as
much as I thought we could.

So I just need a little bit
more money

to make the "Divas and Dives"
shoot tomorrow work.

- Yeah, see,
the problem, Sutton,

is that the budget
is already locked,

and the time to ask
for more money would have been

at yesterday's meeting,
which is why we had,

you know, the meeting.

- Of course.

It's just Oliver--

- Yeah, Oliver always
wants the moon,

and, you know, you just don't
always get the moon so...

so what else can you give him?

I can't write this.

- You really have that much
to say about Meghan Markle?

- Her marriage to
Prince Harry made

a strong progressive statement.

They even had eco-friendly
flowers in their ceremony.

- Good for them.

- How is the "Babies are
the new Bling" coming?

- It's coming.

So far all labor, no baby.

- They only want me
so that then when their CEO

is ousted as a racist
homophobe,

he can point to me
and say,

"Oh, look, some of
my best spokespeople

are black lesbians."

- When I was negotiating
the product integration deal,

I had no idea.

You know, their image was
so politically correct.

- Okay,
so can we just walk away?

- I've been looking over
your contract for a way out,

a morality clause
or something like that,

but there's nothing.

- What are they going
to do if I just refuse

to post an Instagram story?

- For starters, they could sue
us for breach of contract.

Which would be incredible
expensive for Safford

and a legal nightmare
for the two of you.

I'm so sorry, Kat.

- You really think Sutton's
gonna get this place for free?

- I hope so. She really needs
it for this photo shoot.

- Oh, well, she's smiling.
That's a good sign.

- Yeah, but, see,
her arms are crossed.

- That's not really,
"You can have your photo shoot

here for free," kind
of body language.

- Oh, it looks like she's
complimenting the place.

- Wow, she's pulling out
all the stops.

And how are you?

Are you thinking about
thinking about kids?

- No, because every time
I start to think about it,

I wind up feeling sick
and having a panic attack

and I just don't know
how to get past it.

What about you?

Have you figured out
what you're gonna do

about the Whole Spa thing?

- No.

I have to post my first
Instagram story tomorrow

and I'm still trying to figure
out how I can get out of it.

But right now
the best idea I have

is to just bury it
in basic hashtags.

- Ooh.
The basic hashtag trick.

It's a good one.

Hi, so?
- What's up?

- No.

- She said they can't afford
to shut the place down

for the shoot even if it's only
for a couple of hours.

- Why does Oliver have
to have it here?

- You know, he bought
his first beer here

when he moved to the city.

So the whole shoot is kind of
inspired by this place.

I mean, look at it.
It's--

It's like a movie set.

A set.

- I use Whole Spa clean wipes
in the middle of the day

because it's a great
pick me up.

My skin feels soft, hydrated,
and most of all

I feel like a damn hypocrite.

- Okay.

I don't think
that it's in your DNA

to do this without
calling them out.

- Nope.
It's not.

But, you know,
they did say

that they wanted

that edgy Kat Edison
sensibility, so...

maybe I should give
them just that?

- And I think I would rather
save the close-up

of the Neon Geode lips
until after the

edible essential oil section.

Jane, do you have a sec?

Also, do we have another photo
of Michael B. Jordan?

He is just so beautiful;

everybody's gonna think
he's CGI.

We are putting Blake Lively
and her two daughters

on the cover,
and your piece

is gonna be the featured story.

- That's great.

- So when do I get to see
your rough draft?

- It's just taking me
a little longer

than I thought it would.

- You having trouble
finding mothers

who are wanting
to go on the record?

- No, no,
that's--that's not it.

- Well, if you're finding that

focusing on the trendy aspect
of young motherhood

is--is slowing you down,
then you can just throw out

the babies
as accessory angle.

I mean, maybe something
about fourth-wave feminists

who are trying
to have it all sooner.

Something that explores
how and why young women

just hitting adulthood
would want to take on

this kind of responsibility.

Right?
- Yeah.

That is really interesting.
I'll explore that angle.

- Great.
Well, I can't wait to read it.

Oh, well, this is looking
a lot better.

- Okay, bottom line is
if I'm going to recreate

Chad's in
the Scarlet photo studio

I have $233 for
set dec and props.

- Yeah,
that's almost impossible.

- Yes, but not if you grew up
shopping at flea markets.

Don't be afraid to haggle.

We need 30 black and white
framed photos--

ideally New York-y stuff--

three clocks.
- Do they have to work?

- They don't because the ones
at Chad's are broken.

A large screen TV,
a chalkboard,

darts, dartboard,

some old maps,
sofa and chairs.

- All for under 233?
- 218, actually.

We need money
for a cab back into the city.

Thank you guys so much
for doing this.

- No problem,
just be ready to make

me one of those smoothies when
Jacqueline gives me her whole

"You haven't handed
in your piece" face tomorrow.

- I'm on it.
Ready?

- It's just shopping, right?

- Except we're buying
stuff nobody wants

with money we don't have.

- Exactly.

Go team.

- 15!
- I'll give you 10.

- Gimme the 10.

- Thank you.

- How much is the TV?

- Is that a character?
- Pirate.

- 10?
Here.

Sweet, thank you.

- I'll take this too.

- Thank you so much.
You're a doll.

- Oh.

- Okay, neon sign. Check.

Photo of Bella Abzug. Check.

Think we did it.
- Yep.

Uber truck is three minutes
away.

So that means we should be
unloading at "Scarlet"

in, like, half an hour.

- Oh, we do have
to make a pit stop.

- What?
- Yeah.

- I thought we got everything?

- Almost everything.

- There has to be
a better way to get

the plastic cups from Chad's.

- Eh, not for free.

Jackpot!

- I am exhausted.

- That's what happens when
you work all night.

On the upside, you did it.

- Well, let's see what
Oliver has to say from Paris

once he gets the photos
I'm about to send him.

- He's gonna love it.

Come on, we got to go.

We smell a little too dumpster
for my taste.

- Oh.

See, the thing is, is you guys
smell like dumpster,

I smell like roses.

No, you don't.

- What?
- She's right.

- You don't.
- You stank.

- I promise.
I would know.

- So you're not
even bothering

getting dressed
at home anymore?

- Oh, they were helping me
get ready for

the "Divas and Dives"
shoot all night.

- Won't say a word.

You're not the only ones
who've had to borrow

an Eliza J maxi dress
in a desperate time of need.

- Oh, Jane.

Jacqueline would like
to see you in her office.

She really wants
your young moms piece.

- So your young mothers piece.

Why are you struggling with it?

- I don't know.

I...

I guess I just haven't
found an angle

that really works
for me yet.

Okay.

It feels too personal.

- Jane, if you...

think that you're pregnant
or that you might be--

- No. No. It's--it's nothing
like that.

Okay, it's a little like that.

I never told you this, but...

I found out that I'm positive
for the BRCA gene mutation.

- Oh, Jane, I am so sorry.

I had no idea.

- Yeah, I haven't really told
a lot of people.

But the thing is,
is I have a lot of decisions

that I have to make
in the next few years.

Like what kind of preventative
surgery I want to have if any.

And whether or not
I want to have kids,

and if I do, I either need
to freeze my eggs

or think about getting
pregnant, so...

- Well.

That is a lot to handle.

Especially when you're 25.

- Yeah.

I don't really know how
to start thinking about it.

- Have you talked to your
friends about this?

- Yeah.

And, I mean, I know they care,

but they don't
really know what to say.

- Jane.

I hope you know that I am
always here to talk...

about anything.

- Thank you.

And don't worry.

I'll get the article done.
- Oh.

I am not worried about that.

But if it's tripping you up,
writing about

young 20-somethings
who've chosen to have kids,

then just write about
why you're not ready yet.

- Thank you.

I'll think about it.

- Right over here, sweetheart.

Look away.

That's it. Beautiful.

- Yeah, that lighting is
perfect.

It's amazing.
I love it.

Go get some more stuff.

- Oh, my God.

Looks so good.

- Oh, yeah.

- Literally would never know.
- Yay.

- Kat, I'm gonna need
you to come with me.

- Yes.

I use Whole Spa
clean wipes

in the middle of the day
because

it's a great pick-me-up.

My skin feels soft, hydrated,
and most of all, clean.

It's as if all
the dirt's been wiped away.

Just like how the CEO of
Whole Spa, Eric Miller,

is hoping that having
a queer black woman

featured on their Instagram
story will just wash away

all the bad press
he's about to get

for donating to hate groups.

- They might try and sue us.

- I did everything I was
contractually obligated to do.

I used the cleanser,

listed three things
that I liked about it.

- Are these allegations
against the Whole Spa CEO true?

- I just spoke with
the reporter;

he has multiple sources, and
the story just broke on "Vice."

- Did you know about this?

When you agreed
to the product integration?

- No, of course not.

But this is still
a very important partnership.

And if we're being honest,
not everyone at Safford

is woke.

I mean, Elliot Waxman from
"Porch & Garden"

has been spotted on more
than one occasion

wearing a MAGA hat
while golfing.

- Well, maybe you should
see if he could do

the next Whole Spa
Instagram story.

This is precisely why "Scarlet"
doesn't do advertorials.

It betrays the trust
of our readers.

When they pick up
an issue of "Scarlet" magazine,

they expect us to have
an authentic point of view.

- I was just trying
to increase our revenue stream.

- Well, that's a noble goal.

But neither Kat,
nor "Scarlet"'s integrity

should be up for sale.

- Should we go get a drink?
- Yes.

- I wish.
I have to go home.

Ben is coming over,
and I'm gonna tell him

what's been going on.

So you know,
super fun night.

- I'm sorry.
But telling Ben is good.

- Yeah,
he's your boyfriend now.

Which means you get sex
on the regular

and he needs to know
stuff like this.

- Oh, speaking of boyfriends,

I just got an all-caps
happy text from Oliver.

- Wow.

- Followed by an angry one.

- Hmm.

- Okay, but be forewarned,

S-U-Q is a word,
and I will be playing it.

- Um...
So, hey.

I have to talk
to you about something.

- You already apologized for
the other night

and thanked me for the flowers.

I promise you we're good.

- It's--it's not about that.

Remember when
I told you

how my mom died
from breast cancer?

Well, I...

I found out that I'm positive
for the BRCA mutation.

- Oh, Jane.

I'm sorry.

- Yeah, I...

I found out, like,
four months ago,

and I thought
that the only thing

I needed to worry about were
the screenings.

But when I saw my doctor
the other day

for the side effects,
she told me I need

to start thinking
about what kind of

preventative measures
I wanted to take

and whether or not
I want to have kids.

- Oh, Jane.

Well.

That's a lot.

The mutation,
is it in BRCA1 or BRCA2?

- BRCA1.
- Okay.

And your mother's breast
cancer,

was that estrogen sensitive?
Because--

- Ben.

I need you to act like
my boyfriend right now,

not a doctor.

- Yeah, I'm sorry.

You are having regular
mammograms, right?

- Yes.

- And trans-vaginal ultrasounds
to check for ovarian cancer--

- Ben.

I didn't tell you
so that you could

give me medical advice.

I told you because...

I want you to know
what's been going on.

- I'm sorry. I'm just trying
to process this.

I know what this means
in ways other guys don't.

- Yeah.

Right now I kind of wish
you didn't.

Look, can we just
go back to playing the game,

and just forget
I said anything?

Okay?

- He tried to pretend like
everything was normal.

But we both knew
that it wasn't, so...

- I'm sorry, love.

- I mean, I don't know
what I expected him to do.

It was cancer, surgery,
potential parenthood,

just wrapped up in one
delightful little package.

- Okay, well, let's tackle this
one thing at a time.

You love lists.

And if ever a situation
demanded a pro-con list,

deciding whether or not you
want to have a kid would be it.

- I know.

But I don't think I can.

- Okay, look,
this is probably

the last thing you want
to hear,

but I'm the child
of two shrinks.

So I think parents are
the root of all of our issues.

Do you think
that maybe the reason

you're having trouble
picturing yourself

as a mom is because...

you lost yours
when you were so young?

- Maybe.

I mean...

I only have memories of
my mom when she was sick.

I don't remember anything
before that.

And I just keep thinking,
like...

Was she
the kind of mom who...

got down on the floor
and played with me

when I was a kid
or...

did my hair...

or read me bedtime stories
and sang to me?

Did she kiss me on the forehead
when she tucked me in at night?

- Hey.

Whatever kind of mother
she was...

she was amazing...

because so are you.

- I just wish
that I could talk to her...

and get her advice
about all of this.

- Looks like
the muse has struck.

- It looks like it has.

Oh, sorry.
It's my brother.

Hey, Ev.
- Hey, Jane. What's up?

I saw you called.

- Yeah,
thanks for calling me back.

- Everything okay?
- No, I'm fine.

I just...

I wanted to ask you about mom.
- What's going on?

- Just kind of having trouble
remembering.

- Like what?

- Yeah, like, I mean,

what were bedtimes like?

- Well, she used to sing us

that Fleetwood Mac song,
"Landslide."

- She did?

No wonder I love that song.

- You wanted to see me?

- I wanted to talk to you about
Whole Spa.

- I should have come
to you first.

- Cleo should have known
better.

- I mean, I should have too.

I think I was just so flattered

that they wanted me,
I...

I just said yes without
thinking, but...

won't do it again.
- Well, let's not overcorrect.

I mean, you are inspiring.
Your story is powerful,

but don't just let anybody
tell your story.

Find companies and causes

that you feel proud
to get behind.

- Do you really think
I should

try something like that again?

- I'd be disappointed
if you didn't.

- Hi, I'm here to pick up

the travel memo for
the fashion department.

- And before you ask,
yes,

Oliver is booked first class,
aisle seat.

- Okay, great.
And Frank's in here too, right?

- Of course,
and his meal is vegetarian.

And I am holding a middle seat,
back row for you.

- Sorry?

- It was the only seat left.

Oliver just called
this morning.

So it was the best I could do.

But, hey, you're going
to Paris, right?

- I'm going--

I'm going to Paris
for Fashion Week?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

I'm gonna throw up.
I'm not gonna throw up.

- Don't throw up.

- I might throw up.
- Don't throw up.

- And then she'd read us
a bedtime story.

You always wanted "Harold
and the Purple Crayon."

- Yeah.
