- I just wanna make sure
that you

are taking some time
for yourself.

You can make a difference
and have a personal life,

if you want one.

- Make yourself a brand.
Influence a little.

Get a bunch of Instagram
followers.

Safford, they love that.

They eat it up.
- Yes.

We're working through
some stuff.

It might take a while,
but this is a marathon.

- Verticals are a huge
commitment of resources.

You'd virtually be

your next piece does.

How unhappy are you
with our marriage?

- I think about as unhappy
as you, Jacqueline.

- Sutton Brady,
will you marry me?

- Yes.
Yeah.

♪ I've been making them

- See, now, this is my kind

- Richard does love frosting.

Maybe we should do
a make-your-own-donut bar.

- Mm.
- That's the spirit!

- You guys,
we're getting married!

- Well, Sutton
is getting married.

I'm fixing my life
with free donuts.

- Well, I still love weddings,
you know?

- You and Ryan must be
doing great.

- Yes, but this is
not about me.

This is about you.
- Mm.

- And your marriage!

Man, weddings have everything.

They have style,
they have flowers,

they have age-old traditions
like wedding cake,

or, for our generation, donuts.

- Or like the tradition where

you know, the bride
feeds the groom the cake.

- I know,
it's so intimate and sweet.

- Mm.
- Here.

- What are you doing?

- Uh, she's sweetly
feeding you.

- Try it.
- You are not being sweet.

Are we doing a wedding roundup?

- Yes.

- No, we--we are not.

I admire your passion, Jane,

and I appreciate
your strategic thinking,

but weddings are not exactly
new "Scarlet" material, so.

- But millennial weddings are.

We could take a look at
what's old and what's new,

china or charity registries,
heels or sneakers,

seating charts or free-for-all.

- Jane's right.

I mean, weddings do trend
really well on social.

- Not to mention the dresses.

There are somany dresses.

- And we have
our very own model.

- [gasps]

Please say yes to letting me
help you find the dress.

- All right, Oliver,
have at it with the dresses,

Sage, wedding night sex.
- Mm-hmm.

- Kat, social media tie-ins
and celeb couples,

and Jane, you better
have a pitch.

- Remember how you were saying

you want digital
to have more POVs

to drive attention
to our verticals?

- Yes.

- I know that our fans care
about our personal lives.

- Mine, not so much.

- So I was thinking
we could use us.

"Scarlet" employees

- When I get married, I'm gonna
walk myself down the aisle.

- Or do you just, like, lose
any sort of identity you have

once you get married?

- Well, I think that maybe
they're just trying to be cute.

- Oh, no.
No, Jane.

It's embarrassing

Okay, I'll have a new one

Thank you.

So sorry to do this to you,

- Hi!
Hey, Carly, found you.

I brought your uniform--
Oh, wow.

That's quite the rip.

- It's called individuality.

- I was just trying to explain
to Carly

that we support individuality
through learning and ideas,

and not by destroying
our school uniform.

- I've been trying to explain

that I don't want
to be a clone.

I want to be myself.

- Well, this isn't a debate.

And I'm hoping Miss--

- Brady.

- Miss Brady here can help you
make the right choice

to put on your uniform
and get back to class.

- I mean, technically,
she's wearing the uniform.

She just changed it
a little bit, right?

That's not that big of a deal.

I love the glovelettes,
by the way.

Very preppy post-apocalyptic.

- This is a big deal,

because at this school,
we wear a uniform,

and in order for a uniform
to be uniform,

everyone has to look the same.

- Yeah.
- Great.

So my home is basically
a museum,

and I come here, and I have
to look like everyone else.

- I don't understand why
she can't just be herself.

- Miss Brady,
I fear you're not helping.

- But you have to admit,

uniforms are a little bit
oppressive and antiquated.

- Well, if that's how you feel,

we've got nothing further
to discuss.

Carly, I'm sending you home.

Don't come back until
you're properly dressed.

Miss Brady, please leave
the school grounds, now.

- Tell me what you remember
about your wedding day.

- Well, I remember, um,

the morning of my wedding,

uh, waking up
and feeling very--

very excited.

Very nervous.

Yeah, I felt like a--

like a teenager.
[laughs]

In the very best way.

- What was your dress like?

- It was an open-back gown

with tulle and lace.

I remember my mother giving me
a banana,

which I did not want,

and insisting that I eat it
immediately

so that I wouldn't faint
at the altar

- Y-you know,
since you're here,

can you, uh,
go to the front desk for me

and ask to borrow
a highlighter?

- Sure.

- Okay, so get this.

She didn't rip her uniform.
She redesigned it.

Did you see the glovelettes?
- I did.

- So she didn't need
a new uniform at all.

They just wanted her
to have one.

- Okay, so you brought her one,
but she's not wearing it,

and as a result,
she's not in school?

- Right, because she liked
the way she looked,

and really, why should she be
punished for being creative

and having a great
sense of style

and wanting to look
like herself?

- I see.
- I knew you would.

- So you, Sutton,
and my 12-year-old child,

took on the school principal,

and you both got sent home?

- In what universe
did you think that

that was a good idea?

Not Red.
Sutton.

- Well, maybe he just feels
like you overstepped.

but when Carly told me

that she didn't want to walk
around looking like some clone,

it triggered something in me,
you know, like--

[sighing]
I don't know.

Those brides
and the big white dresses,

it just kind of feels like a--

like a uniform.

- Well, yours doesn't
have to be big or white

if you don't want it to be.

- Yeah, I know, it's just--

I mean, there is
an expectation.

Even my mom wants me
to wear her wedding dress.

it on to see that it still fit

and talk about how her ex
made a mistake.

- You are not your mother.

- Thank you.

Do you really believe
in school uniforms?

- I do.

I know it might seem strange

since you know
I adore clothing,

but school uniforms
encourages kids

to focus on their classes
and not each other.

For 12-year-old girls, fashion
can easily turn into a weapon.

With school uniforms,
there are no labels,

so there's less bullying,

less worrying about what to
wear to impress friends.

- I never thought of it
that way.

- I know it might seem
anti-intuitive,

but having to wear a uniform
actually encourages kids

to become free,
independent thinkers,

and if you're still not
convinced, you should know

that Coco Chanel
wore a school uniform.

- No.
- Yes.

- How am I supposed
to include Jacqueline

in my article now?

- Well, I feel like maybe,
and I know this sounds obvious,

but maybe you could
talk to her.

And say what?

Um, "I accidentally recorded
a very private phone call

"between you and your husband
and then I listened to it?

Twice."

- Yeah.

- You know what?

Maybe I'll just give "Scarlet"
readers something fun.

- It could be like

"Top Ten Wedding
I Dos and Don'ts."

- Hmm.
- How's that sound?

- Like it would trend well.

- Mm-mm.
No, Jane.

This is not you.

- Look, even if I was okay
with the lie of it all,

I can't do that to Jacqueline.

I mean, writing about
her wedding day

and how in love they were.

this is my best option,

And I didn't want to write an
in-depth piece about weddings

and how great yours was

when I know that your marriage
is in trouble.

- Hey.

Thank you for today.

The room, and...

the dress.

It was so special.

I'm really lucky to have you
in my life.

- I'm lucky to have you too.

And listen, what I said earlier
about Carly and uniforms--

She's a kid, and kids
need rules, as I've learned,

but you are a grown woman.

And you don't need the bridal
uniform if you don't want it.

- I liked it more
than I was expecting.

- Hmm, I kind of thought
you would.

- I sent a picture
to my mom too.

She loved it.

So I think when it's time
to really look,

I'm not gonna limit myself,
because this dress

surprised me.

Hey, speaking of surprises,

I think I have an idea
for Carly.

A way to support her need
for individuality

without stepping
on the uniform rules.

- I'm all ears.

♪

- Oh, hi.

- Hey.

- Thanks for meeting me.

Especially after I bailed
on you last night.

That was so shady,

and you really
didn't deserve it.

- Well, we agree
on that point.

- Right.

I just--I wanted to see you,
you know, in person

to tell you I'm sorry,

and I know it's kind of
a cliché,

everyone says this,
but it's not you, it's me.

Really, I'm not in a place
in my life right now

where I can be emotionally
available, and I'm realizing--

- No, I believe you.

I know I'm great.
It's definitely you.

I do wish you the best, Kat.

- Thanks.

You too.

Bye.

Oh, I didn't order that.
- No, I know.

I heard the breakup,

and I remember that one of you
ordered it before, so.

- Oh.

Well...

Ah!

Women, am I right?

♪

- Is that a photo
of your parents?

- Yeah.

They had a summer wedding.

They promised not to see
each other before,

but they couldn't stand
to be apart,

so they asked my aunt

to deliver love notes
back and forth.

I know every detail
of their wedding day.

- [sighs]
Weddings are magical.

They seem outside and...

protected from normal life.

I've been looking at photos
of my own a bit lately.

Jane,

you said that you stopped
writing your article

because my marriage was rocky,

but I think that you
are protecting something

way more personal than that.

I think you're protecting
your fantasy

of "happily ever after."

- Yeah.

Can I ask what happened
with you and Ian?

[somber music]

- Um...

I stopped making time for him.

And eventually, he stopped
making time for me, and...

it took us both a long time
to admit that.

- Sutton wisely brought it
to my attention

that you've been living in
a tasteful yet boring guestroom,

otherwise known as a museum.

- It is a museum.

- And that you should have
a space all your own

that honors your personality
and individuality.

- For real?

- For real.

We're gonna redecorate
your room, and you're the boss.

Whatever you want.

New furniture, accessories,

I'm gonna make it happen.

- Even post-apocalyptic preppy.

- I want you to have a room
where you can feel

exactly like yourself,

especially since I know

that you don't love
wearing the school uniform.

- I don't love it,

but if wearing it will help me
be as amazing as Sutton,

I'll do it, I promise.

You okay?

- Yeah. Hey, Dad.

I-I'm great.
You okay?

- Ah, sure, just dealing
with the damn coffee machine.

The one that's been mostly
broken for three years?

- Yep.

But you know me,
why buy a new one

when the old one
could be fixed?

- 'Cause a new one
might be even better.

- Yeah, your brother keeps
telling me the same thing.

What's going on?

- I am writing a piece
about weddings for work,

and so, I have been looking
through Mom's wedding album.

- You are always looking
for the personal angle,

aren't you?

- [laughs]
Yeah.

I am.

Um...

I know every detail
of your wedding day,

but I realized I don't really
know anything

about your actual marriage.

You know, day-to-day stuff,
like--

I mean, did you two
brush your teeth together

at the same time each night,
or--

I know we don't really--

we don't really talk
about this stuff,

but I'd like to,

if you can.

- Your mother and I,

we had
the most wonderful marriage.

And things got really hard
toward the end, of course,

but even then, she used to--

she'd leave me these
little cute Post-it Notes

for me to find in the car
or in my shoe.

Always just little reminders
of how much she loved me.

[chuckles]
Um...

She liked brushing her teeth
watching the evening news,

and I needed the sink, 'cause
I always seem to make a mess,

but we got into bed together,
and she'd read,

and I'd snore.

- [laughs]
Um...

Do you--

do you think that if Mom
was still alive,

that you two would still
be together?

You know, after all this time?

- Oh, Janey.

Your mom used to say

that a good marriage,

it's a constant dance
of commitment,

compromise, and communication.

All I can tell you is that
we had all three.

- I love you, Dad.

- I love you too.

So while we're on the subject,
is there a--

do you have a guy in your life?

Someone I should know about?

- [laughs]

Um...

Yeah.
Yeah, I do.

His name is Ryan,

and it's--

it's pretty serious.

I think you'd really like him.

- Hmm, I don't like the sound
of this guy.
