- Previously, on "The Bold Type..."

- We're doing it. - The Pamela Dolan story?

- Why are you giving this to me?

- We were scooped. - If we give this to Patrick--

- It'll generate tons of clicks on the dot com,

and it'll give the Board another reason

to go all-in with digital.

- Now, as part of my fashion show,

this class is going to do a little pre-show.

You want to jumpstart your career?

That's where you could do it. - How do you guys feel

about walking in my fashion show?

- Dev got a bunch of seed money to start a VC shop,

and he wants me to help him run it.

- Oh, my God, Richard! - It's in San Francisco.

Obviously, I told him I couldn't do it.

- Tia's amazing.

All these people that I wanted to work with.

I was gonna shut down

that fake abortion clinic on Delancey.

And then--remember Mrs. Diaz? - No.

- I promised Mrs. Diaz I'd help her find

a new apartment 'cause her place is about to go co-op.

And I just feel like I let everyone down, you know?

Like, Tia, everyone that donated,

all the volunteers, you guys.

I wanted to do.

[upbeat music]

- Or not.

- What's going on? - I don't know.

- People, I'm sure some of you have noticed

our disassembled flat plan, and I'm here to tell you why.

"Scarlet" has recently gotten a lot of praise

thanks to our Pamela Dolan piece,

but Pamela's abuse did not happen in a vacuum.

She comes from an industry that all too often

looks the other way in order to sell an image.

An industry that presents 14-year-old girls as women,

and makes all the rest of us feel bad about ourselves

because we can never live up to

that unattainable standard of beauty.

And we have to look at our own role in this.

Now, it has always been my mission

to make "Scarlet" a leader

when it comes to empowering women.

But we can't do that unless we examine ourselves.

We cannot hold Pamela Dolan accountable

unless we hold ourselves accountable,

which means a rigorous examination

of any and every message we might be sending.

The blank pages on the flat plan

are where we can do better.

Which means we need new fashion spreads,

new articles, more inclusivity.

Oh, and we also need...

a new cover.

Something that really conveys this ethos.

So anyone who has ideas, please send them my way.

- But this issue goes to the press in 17 hours.

- Yes, it does, and it is also the Fall issue,

which means it sets the tone for the entire year.

So we must get it right.

All right, let's get started.

[upbeat music]

- Okay, we have to redo three photo shoots,

including the fairytale spread, which means new models,

your new and improved sewing skills--

- And snacks. I mean, a photographer.

- Yes, but first, the snacks. - [chuckles]

- Well, that was a bold move. What does the Board think?

- That I'm turning "Scarlet" Magazine

into this fall's must-have accessory

for every woke woman in America.

Or at least, they will think that

after I pitch it to them this afternoon.

- Hm.

- I know it's risky.

I also know in my gut that it's the right thing

for "Scarlet," and for the dot com.

- Oh, I'm not changing the dot com.

- [sighs]

Though I do enjoy a good sparring partner

every now and then, I think it would be better

for both of us if we got on the same team.

To our readers, there is no difference

between the magazine and the dot com.

To them, it is just "Scarlet."

It would be really good if you could see it that way.

Jane, I am gonna need some to help

filling those blank spaces. You got any ideas for me?

before your own, and are you happy to do the same?"

You circled "he's like The Giving Tree

if 'The Giving Tree' had a happy ending."

And then, you added

"except that time he kissed someone else."

I, for one, am sensing a theme. - Mm-hmm.

"Does your partner challenge you

to be the best version of yourself?"

- Yeah, he does, always.

And we have a great sex life, and he makes me happy,

and he makes me laugh, and--

- You love him.

- I do, but...

I've always said I'm not a person

who stays with someone who cheats.

[soft music]

I'm smarter than that.

- Jane...

You might be one of the smartest people that we know,

but you're also a human being, not a label.

And so is Ryan.

you're doing it for the right reasons.

- Ugh, I just wish that this was all way less complicated.

- It's always complicated, trust.

- Do you know what you're going to do yet?

- Mm-mm.

It's--Tia and Adena are like--

They're like two of the most

incredible people I've ever met,

and no matter what I do,

I'm probably gonna really hurt someone.

- I know, babe, but you've got to do what's best for you.

We all do.

Come here. - Everything okay?

- Everything is so great. - Hm.

- I'm 100% sure of you, and of my career.

- Well, that's good to hear. - Right?

So I see how you are

when you talk about the startup with Dev.

You're passionate and excited,

and I know that you gave up

an opportunity like this before,

and I don't think you should do it again.

So I talked to Dev

about the big move date,

and I got you a ticket on his flight to San Francisco.

- [exhales]

Sutton, we talked about this.

Living across the country from you...

it's too far.

- I know, I know, but here's the thing,

I never would have figured out that I was passionate

about working at "Scarlet" if I hadn't tried design,

and I never would have tried design
