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

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.

[acoustic music]

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 think you're moving in too close ♪

♪ But I think that, yes,
my body wantin' it the most ♪

[both moaning]

♪ It's my emotions... ♪

I'll...

What, are you seeing Nicolas Cage again?

No, the condom broke.

♪ When the panic in my
mind feels so damn good ♪

♪ Whoo! ♪

[groans]

- 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.

- [knock at door]
- 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.

[both laugh]

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

Thank you.

- How you holding up?
- [groans]

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?

- [gasp]
- 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.

[scoffs] 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.

[sighs]

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.

- [laughs]
- 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, you actually can tell me
'cause you just did.

[chuckles]

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.

[scoffs] Really?

- Allow me.
- Hey.

Look who's a gentlemen.

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

- but I do have manners.
- [groans]

- 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.

[cell phone chimes]

- 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...

[chuckles] 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. [laughs]

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 over here!
- This is so much fun!

Hello, Jacqueline.

- Oh, hi, Sutton.
- Hi.

Is this a really bad time?

Well, admittedly eyebrow
threading is never a good time.

- [laughs]
- 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?

[groans]

I can't write this.

[sighs]

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.

[groans]

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?

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.

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.

- 15!
- I'll give you 10.

Gimme the 10.

Thank you.

Oh, Jane.

Jacqueline would like to

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

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.

So you know, super fun night.

[laughter]

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.

I just got an all-caps

Hmm.

Okay, but be forewarned,

S-U-Q is a word,

[both chuckle]

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?

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.

Oliver is booked first class,

Okay, great.

Of course, and his meal is vegetarian.

Sorry?

Oliver just called this morning.
So it was the best I could do.
