- That was Julian Grant.

He just called to personally welcome me into the seminar.

- Glasses up. To Sutton. Congrats.

- You're pretty freaking cool, Kat.

- You're my campaign manager. You have to tell me

that stuff, right? - No, I don't.

- I feel like maybe you've been flirting with me?

- It's my job to get to know you and talk you up.

- That's all this is? - If you got another impression,

that's coming from you, but that's not me.

- Attention, everyone! "Scarlet's" been hacked.

- What if this ends up like the Sony hack?

- Wait, you mean, like, all of our emails getting out there?

I'm worried about Ingrid.

- If we could just get a name,

we'd be able to back up her story.

- Oh. - [soft laugh]

Congrats again on the Julian Grant seminar.

- Thanks so much.

But now we need a new sewing machine

- No. No more tequila.

I could use several shots of espresso, though.

Damage control because Bobby ate the wrong sandwich?

- [exhales] No.

No, Bobby--Bobby and I, we--we go way back.

Mama Jackie didn't even get mad. [cell phone buzzes]

I love it. What?

- Richard's asking which sewing machine I got.

- What, you didn't tell him that

you gave that money to your mom? - No, no, I didn't.

- I get it, it's hard to be open about that stuff sometimes,

but I think it's worth taking the risk.

- Yeah.

- That's why I am gonna go back to Tia

and ask her to reconsider being my campaign manager.

I can't imagine doing this with someone else, you know?

She's the whole reason why I'm running.

She just gets me.

Country-club pour, please.

the new international Gucci campaign, so.

- Wow. - Oh, no.

- Watch.

- Six covers in the last eight weeks

a retrospective at the MoMa, and now a contract with Gucci.

- It's a very exciting time.

- You have found tremendous success

working with relative unknown models,

not established names like most photographers.

- I find it incredibly exciting to break a new girl.

I'm in the process of choosing the models for our campaign,

and there is so much fresh talent,

all undiscovered, until now.

- Look at her. She's a sadist.

You know, I only have one more name on this list

of somebody who might talk to me from the Ingrid shoot.

And it's this hairdresser in Midtown.

- Oh, hairdressers, they're chatty.

- I don't think they are when you're a journalist.

But what if I was just a new random client?

- Oh. - Jane.

- No. You can't do that.

The truth is very powerful.

We learned that lesson today.

- And while we're on the subject,

I think this wine tastes like crap.

- What-- I like the wine.

The label's so cute.

- You have to stop picking wine by the label.

This is the third time we've been screwed by that.

- Yeah, I'm gonna drink it anyway.

I'm a writer for "Scarlet" magazine.

- Oh.

Um, every now and then, she needs some help,

So, sharing it

with you,

it's a lot for me.

And I will be as involved

or not involved as you want me to be.

You get in people's faces. You don't apologize for it.

The first time I kissed a girl, I was 17.

And it was electric. And it was terrifying.

So I didn't do it again until senior year of college.

And by then, it was really scary 'cause I knew

this was what I wanted.

And I don't want to want it.
