Original subtitles

Previously on "The Bold Type"...

- You like him. - He is my employee.

- That wasn't a no. - No, it wasn't.

I didn't expect to feel this way.

I know it's not ideal.

Really excited to have you onboard, Addison.

Your reporter going after a woman that I slept with

seemed like you're targeting her.

The story has to be completely bulletproof.

You can trust me.

They're calling me a cuck.

"Our current political climate has turned most men softer

than a flaccid phallus... case in point, this guy."

- What are you doing? - I am clapping back.

That is impressive, a NRA card-carrying Republican.

I really don't like her.

She is so lucky that she's on the board at Safford.

Why do I get the feeling that you and Eva

are more than podcast pals?

I don't want children.

This is a life decision that you made without me.

Richard left me.

I'm gonna go home, home to Harrisburg.

- Sutton Brady. - Oh, hey, Billy.

You're just like your mother.

Who I am is a person that does not need this anymore.

- Are you okay? - Mm-hmm.

Right now, I just need a little music,

little you guys.

_

Why did you let us get that drunk on a weeknight?

Sutton.

Sutton, you gotta go to work.

Ow!

You know, I don't know what hurts worse:

My head or my jaw.

Okay, you know, I sincerely thought

that you were an intruder, so...

An intruder that grabs people's feet?

It's called "Dateline," Jane. Watch it.

Did we go shopping?

You don't remember?

I do, and these fries are so good.

No.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Also, you have...

- Hey! - Thank you.

What, are you gonna wear that all day?

Yes.

Now they're even.

Okay, what happened last night?

You wanted wings, so we went to Hooters.

Um... do I work there?

- Where's my Amex? - Oh, you left it at the bar.

- No. - Yeah.

That's why, when we got to Hooters, we couldn't pay.

Oh, so I got a job.

No, you actually convinced the kitchen

that you worked there, and then you waited on us.

That's pretty awesome.

Were you trying on dresses for the ad sales conference?

I must have been.

Jaqueline said that I'm the future of "Scarlet,"

so no pressure at all.

- Not in that dress. - Okay, you're judging me?

- Hooters is a great establishment. - _

- Help me out. - _

Back me up.

- Hey. - What?

- Everything okay? - Yeah.

_

I just have to get ready for work, so...

Yeah, you know what?

I should... shower at home...

or, at... Richard's.

Does anybody know where my clothes are?

Oh, you know what?

I will go and grab my stuff,

and I will come get ready with you.

- You will? - Yeah.

It's on the way to work.

Oof, I was so hurting,

but there's just something about a New York bagel.

Yeah, I mean, it made me feel human again,

but I do think we could've gotten more.

- Oh, same. - Hey, mimosas?

You'll never guess why.

- Too soon. - I'll take one.

- What? Hair of the dog. - Hmm.

Hey, can we talk later?

Yeah, of course.

- He likes you. - Okay, he works under me.

Don't.

Ah, I see you all have your celebratory drinks,

as do I, because tomorrow is our overnight retreat,

where we'll have fresh air and a change of scenery

to spark creativity,

which is exactly what we need to prepare

for next week's ad sales conference.

As you all know, ad dollars are hard to come by,

which means we have to make a splash.

And I have faith that we will,

and so does Carson Kressley,

as some of you have discovered.

Carson will be joining us at the retreat

and leading us in some creative workshops.

Oh, you can also thank him for the champagne.

Admit it, you're freaking out.

The original "Queer Eye" did get me through college.

This retreat is essential to our success

with the advertisers, so whatever needs to get done,

let's make sure it gets wrapped up today.

- To "Scarlet." - To "Scarlet."

Jacqueline?

I know that I pushed hard

on the "States and Nations" story last night,

and it was uncomfortable

because it involves the woman that Ian...

Hey.

- You look puffy. - Andrew.

Oh, my God, that one sip of champagne must have gone

- straight to my head, sorry. - Yeah.

Anyways, I just want to make sure that...

Stop.

You were right to push.

If Nicole really is turning a blind eye

to those women's abuses,

then my personal connection is irrelevant.

I appreciate that.

- Is that all? - Um...

Nicole agreed to... meet me today.

You should meet her.

Okay.

No, no, bad idea.

- Two skinny caps. - Yes.

- That'll be 10.95. - Oh, shoot.

I forgot my wallet,

but my coworker will be right down.

I got it, Manny, and I will take a cold brew, please.

Thanks.

Wow, chivalry is alive and handsome.

Just doing my civic duty.

Depriving someone of coffee in the morning would be criminal.

Mm-hmm, yeah.

So do you work in the building?

Yeah... well, not anymore.

Today's my last day, actually.

Oh, okay.

Hey, sorry. I got stuck on a call.

Oh, that's okay. Green eyes bought our coffees.

- Thank you. - All right, thanks.

I'm Alex.

- Alex Crawford? - Yeah?

Joey Faulk from "Pinstripe."

Actually, from nowhere now, thanks to you.

You got fired?

What'd you think would happen?

Look, hey, man, you posted something homophobic.

Yeah, I made a bad joke eight years ago.

It was insensitive, but I'm not homophobic.

I would never say that today.

Thanks to you, it looks like I did.

Thank you.

- Nicole Keating? - Yes.

Hi. Jane Sloan from "Scarlet."

- Thank you for seeing me. - Sure.

How can I help you?

I heard one of your support staff filed a complaint

against a senior editor for harassment.

Well, if a complaint was filed,

then, we looked into it.

Well, that's the thing.

My source says that you were made aware and you did nothing.

Is that true?

Your source. Is that Cynthia?

So you do know about this.

That she works long hours and does some personal errands?

Yes.

So you have no problem with the fact

that he asks her to clean up his office after he has sex?

That's not a fact.

Cynthia was never asked to do that.

- How do you know? - Because I looked into it.

Did you look into it thoroughly?

What exactly are you suggesting?

I hear that you and Mark Afton are old friends.

And you think I let my personal feelings

affect my professional decisions.

- It happens. - Not to me, it doesn't.

But to your boss, apparently, it does.

You should go.

Now.

Excuse me.

I was wondering if you could help me find

Mark Afton's assistant?

I'm his assistant. How can I help you?

My name's Jane Sloan.

I'm a writer for "Scarlet Magazine,"

and, um...

I'm investigating a claim that your boss is abusive.

Well, that claim is false.

Look, if he is mistreating you or anyone you know,

I can help you.

If you want to help, please leave right now.

Can we start every day with a mimosa?

Or not.

- You okay? - Yeah.

No, I really am.

I'm excited for the retreat.

Change of scenery, work.

Well, I'm glad to hear you say that

because fashion does not get the ad dollars it used to,

and you know how I hate covering fashion on a budget.

I do. Hey, Kat, one second.

Yes, I understand it's a tenuous situation.

Kat, hello?

So we'll talk ideas in an hour?

Yeah, sounds good.

Is this a butt dial?

That is an interesting point.

I will definitely bring that up with management.

What the hell are you talking about?

- I understand. - I don't.

I'm so sorry. It's corporate.

I'll send someone out to serve you.

Ah, you're trying to avoid someone,

and you're using me as a decoy. That's fun. Who is it?

Is it someone you used to hook up with?

Is it a member at The Belle?

Okay, yes, Sutton.

I slept with Eva, and now she's here,

and I can't see her.

You slept with Eva?

Kat?

Kat! You can't just drop a bomb like that

and then go radio silent. I need...

Rude.

- Are you in the zone? - Yes.

Okay, what have you got?

- Sorry? - About the presentation?

You don't have anything, do you?

Of course I have something.

We're selling "Scarlet", right?

Fashion, in our case, but yes.

But it's... well, it's more than that, right?

It's more than the clothes. It's the people in them.

It's about all of us.

Sutton, I appreciate your effort,

but this is... this is uncomfortable.

Okay, hold on, wait. Hear me out.

We are the heart of "Scarlet" fashion,

and our passion, our individuality,

our team is what makes us different.

So when we present to the ad buyers,

I think... I think we should start with a sizzle reel,

but instead of starting with the celebrities that we dress,

we should start with us.

Advertisers care more about Kim Kardashian

than they do Oliver Grayson.

- Yeah, but they shouldn't. - I don't disagree with that.

Okay, the point I'm making is every magazine posted a photo

of Kim Kardashian in that Gucci tracksuit, right?

But when we did it, it was part of a story

about how the new power suit is a sweat suit,

and then we put all kinds of different women

in sweats, and heels, and long fancy jackets.

- This is actually a trend now. - Exactly.

So if advertisers want to know why they should invest

in "Scarlet's" fashion pages, they should know a little bit

about who's making it all happen.

- I like it. - Yes!

Start with mood boards.

We'll flesh it out at the retreat.

Ian, hi, love!

I'm a little late for a lunch, so what is it?

- What's up? - Nicole just called me.

Oh.

Yeah, she told me that Jane came into her office

and accused her of covering up office abuse.

Jane is a good reporter.

I'm sure she just asked the questions.

Well, she thinks that it's a witch hunt.

She thinks that Jane was sent by you because...

Because of what happened with the two of you in Ukraine.

- I know. - Yes.

Well, she's threatening to go to the press

if you don't back down.

Well, I won't back down from a story

about women being abused in the workplace.

I know.

I just don't want the boys to read about this on page six.

Neither do I,

but I trust that Jane is gonna get this story right, okay?

I have faith that everything is gonna work out.

So you should, too.

Now I really do have to go. I'm late.

Bye.

You had sex with her

and then broke things off in a text.

I mean, yeah, it's the easiest way.

What?

Look, I'm all for you moving on from Eva...

Same.

...but I do think that ghosting is a little harsh.

It's not ghosting if you send a text.

It kind of is.

You're really gonna sit here, tell me that

none of you have ever avoided a confrontation before?

I just think people deserve an explanation.

- An explanation. - Yeah, like what changed.

Kat, I know you.

Just come up with a reason and get some closure.

Yeah.

Closure is a good thing.

Hey, I'm about to head out.

Okay.

Uh...

listen, I...

I just wanted to apologize for the other night.

I feel like I just got caught up in the moment, and...

I don't know. I wanted to bring it up

'cause we hadn't talked about it yet.

- Scott, I... - Hi, guys.

Do you need any help or...?

Oh, Addison, I'm so sorry.

I totally forgot to get back to you about your piece.

It's okay. It's in your inbox, so...

What are you guys working on?

Nothing, we were just wrapping up.

- See you tomorrow? - Sounds good.

- Okay. - See you.

Um...

- We're good. - Okay.

All right, I guess I'll head out then as well.

- Have a good night. - Actually,

I could use your help on this.

I'm trying to track down this assistant

that I met at "States and Nations."

I don't know her name,

but I would recognize her if I saw a photo.

Let's see.

Yeah, but what if she doesn't have a photo linked to her bio?

Then we dig deeper.

Are you okay to stay late?

Yeah, whatever it takes.

- Hey. - Hi.

Thanks for, uh...

- Do you wanna sit? - Sure.

I'm glad you texted me back.

I thought we had a lot of fun the other night.

Yeah.

I just wanted to, you know, communicate

in person that I'm not looking for anything.

Okay.

Is this because your friends don't like me?

No, I just...

you know, just not looking for anything.

Wow, okay.

Just because we had sex doesn't mean

that it had to be something.

I totally agree.

I just... I didn't want to,

you know... don't you hate it when people, like,

send a text and then never explain what happened?

I didn't want to be that guy... girl.

I still don't understand what happened,

but I'm guessing that you don't either.

I just don't... I'm not looking for anything.

So...

I'll see you around, Kat.

See you around.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Do you wanna take the bus together?

It depends. Are you still team Joey?

What... I'm Switzerland.

And I did Insta-stalk him,

and he went to the "Scarlet" Women's March,

and he wore the heels and everything.

Oh, well, he was probably there hitting on women,

like he did to you the other day.

What? No!

I was creeping on him. He seems like a decent guy.

He wrote a hit piece attacking my masculinity.

Oh, that's what this is about.

- What? - The fragility of the male ego.

It's not about my ego.

It's about a toxic guy who wrote a homophobic tweet

and got what he deserved.

No...

You coming?

Only if I get the aisle seat.

Of course.

And we're not done talking about this, okay?

Kat gave me some great advice for the bus.

- Flasks! - Oh, no.

I threw up on the "Scarlet" bus last time, remember?

- Yeah. - And also, I have a lot of

work to do, even though I told Jacqueline I wouldn't,

but I mean, Scott and I were so close last night.

I'm sorry?

So close to getting Raana to talk to us for my story,

but then she got scared, and she hung up.

So that's when you made out.

No, that's when I called her back,

and then she told me to never call her again.

Oh.

I just really think Raana knows something.

Hey, Jane, I know we're not supposed to be working

during the retreat, but I brought my laptop

for the bus ride, so if you need anything...

Oh, actually, I've been sitting on this audio interview

with this woman named Cynthia for a story that I'm doing.

Would you mind transcribing it for me?

- Absolutely. - Great.

I will email it to you right now.

Cool.

- Hey. - Hey.

You're gonna work all weekend, aren't you?

Nope, just when Jacqueline's not looking.

Is that Jacqueline and Eva?

Yes.

Do you think Kat talked to her?

I don't know.

Jane, Sutton, I'm sure you've heard of Eva Rhodes,

one of our very important board members at Safford.

Eva is a frequent guest on many different news outlets,

so she's gonna be leading a workshop

on public speaking at the retreat.

It's nice to meet you. Jane, Sutton.

- Hello. - Hi.

I want you to keep a very special eye on Jane.

Her vertical is a big sell for advertisers.

Looks like Kat talked to her.

All right, everybody!

Please gather 'round.

Come on, come on, closer!

I would like to introduce to you

our special guest of honor,

who doesn't need any introduction, actually...

But would still like one.

Mr. Carson Kressley!

Thank you so much!

Well, I have always loved "Scarlet",

ever since I read that article about gay men

teaching straight women how to please a man

because, let's face it, we know better than anyone.

What we also know is how to get people

to live their best lives,

which is what all of you will be doing

when we leave here tomorrow.

- Yes. - So what do you say?

Shall we get this "Scarlet" retreat started?

- Yes! - Yeah!

- Can I get you a drink? - Yeah.

You know, I probably shouldn't

'cause I had two flasks on the bus,

and that was a little aggressive,

but maybe just one of these sandwiches.

God, this is a tiny sandwich.

Kind of reminds me of the wedding sandwiches

that I had at my wedding.

Are you okay?

Is this not the jacket of a woman who is okay?

I'll take a double shot of vodka.

Red, there you are.

- Carson, this is Sutton. - Nice to meet you.

You do know she's not a redhead, right?

He thinks I will be if he keeps saying it.

Oh, well, in that case, call me 25.

25 is gonna join us a little later

with Jacqueline and some of the board members.

They want to hear your pitch for the ad conference.

- Today? - Mm-hmm.

In about one hour, right after our trust falls...

oh, which are gonna be so fun.

You're gonna wow them, Red. This is big.

I can't wait!

- Where's the spa? - This way.

Trust can take us to places we never thought we'd go,

like Upstate New York.

But it also allows us to create partnerships

because if we can't trust each other,

we can't invest in each other.

Now, why do you think RuPaul trusts me

to help mold the next generation of queens?

It's because I'm always there to catch them if they fall,

and I want that same trust for you,

which is why we are doing trust falls.

Also, because I think they're super fun.

- Any word from Raana? - No, not since she hung up.

I can tell there's some part of her that wants to talk,

but something's holding her back, and I don't know what.

Andrew, yes!

It's probably trust, Jane.

- Are you serious? - Kind of.

Raana doesn't trust you. Why would she?

You're a stranger trying to get her to open up.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Okay, well, then I just have to earn her trust,

but I can't do that through email or phone.

If I could just get her to meet me face-to-face

out of the office, I know I could get her to trust me.

Well, I drove here,

so if you do get her to agree to meet,

I could drive you back.

Yeah. Yeah, that would be great.

- I'm ready. - Yeah, me, too.

- I trust you, Andrew. - Thank you.

- Oh, my God. - Oh, sweet Jesus.

I thought it was supposed to be the...

- Sutton! - Yeah?

Are you okay?

Andrew, where were you on that one?

He was behind you, where you were supposed to be.

Well, how am I supposed to know that?

I've never done a trust fall before.

- Are you drunk? - I am.

- I'm gonna take her... - Yeah, okay.

- ...away. - Yeah, you do that.

Just a reminder... you're supposed to fall backwards.

Didn't think I'd have to spell that out.

_

Okay, you're hammered.

You know, it all just kind of hit me at once.

But I'm loose, and it's good 'cause I gotta pitch my dance

to Oliver, and Jacqueline, and Carson,

and I was gonna do, like, a little Charleston...

- Okay, please sit. - Yeah.

Oh.

- Hey, boo. - Hey.

How is it?

I'm having serious FOMO right now, you know,

except for the part where Eva

and all the other board members are there.

That's not why I'm calling. I'm calling about Sutton.

Oh, okay. What's going on?

Well, she's hammered and about to sabotage her career.

- Hate that. - I can't watch her

because I have to take a quick trip

to the city to track down a source,

and you know what Sutton's like when she's drunk.

- Yeah. - Kat.

Sorry.

What can I do?

- I need you here. - But Eva is there.

I know, but you can stay in our room

and just help Sutton sober up.

- Mm. - I have to get to the city

- for a story... please? - Okay, yes.

I will be there in an hour.

Thank you. Okay, I love you.

- Love you. - Bye.

All right, so Kat is on her way...

Sutton?

Sutton.

Jane!

Pew, pew, pew, pew.

I found her outside the conference room.

- She's drunk. - You're drunk.

Maybe you should get her back to her room

before anybody else finds out.

- Thank you. - Yeah, you're welcome.

- Thank you. - No, don't touch me.

You're lucky Eva was so nice.

Yeah, maybe Kat didn't dump her.

Kat.

What are you doing here?

Jane... she was worried about Sutton,

so I came to help.

How's she doing?

She's okay, yeah.

- Jane said you covered for her? - I did.

I told Jacqueline and Oliver that she had food poisoning.

- I think it worked. - Oh.

- Well, thanks for doing that. - Of course.

Why did you do that?

Because I know that she's going through a tough time,

and because she's a good friend of yours.

Look, I meant what I said earlier.

Well, you didn't really say anything, Kat.

But clearly something changed for you,

and I just wish that I understood what it was

because nothing changed for me.

I take full responsibility

for the fact that we,

you know, we ended up in bed together.

I'm pretty sure that was both of us.

Yeah.

Um...

I knew you were forbidden fruit,

and maybe that's why debating you was so exciting

and maddening.

Whatever.

Point is, I just think we're too different.

Which is also what made it so exciting.

I would love to live in a world

where I don't have to fight for everything all the time.

You know, I would love to just chill out

and sleep with whoever I want to sleep with

and not worry about what it says about me

or what I stand for.

The Kat I know does whatever she wants.

Yeah, I do, and I have.

But...

after we slept together, I...

I really... I didn't like myself.

And it's not just that we see the world differently,

it's the things you believe in,

the things that you work to protect,

like, those things hurt people like me.

And as much as I tried to convince myself

that maybe it doesn't matter, it actually matters a lot.

I'm not gonna stand here and start defending all my beliefs.

I'm not asking you to.

I'm really not.

I'm just letting you know

that I can't... defend your beliefs either.

I just can't.

And I want to be proud of who I'm sleeping with.

Goodbye, Eva.

So Cynthia said that she usually gets home

around 5:30, so she should be here any minute.

I know she's scared,

but I really do think we can help her.

Oh, hey. There she is.

Excuse me.

Raana.

Hi, it's Jane Sloan from "Scarlet."

This is my colleague, Scott.

Hey.

How do you know where I live?

Cynthia told us.

She really cares about you.

Look, you sounded like there was something

you wanted to say the other night on the phone.

You don't understand.

Try me.

I'm diabetic, type one.

Without my health insurance,

I can't afford my insulin shots,

and I need those shots to survive.

Does Mark Afton know you're diabetic?

He does.

I think that's why he asks me to...

You know, I really can't talk about this.

Look, we can protect you.

When I did the Pamela Dolan story,

all of those models kept their jobs.

We don't have to print your name.

You'll be an anonymous source.

I'm sorry, I can't.

Wait, Raana.

Pull out your phone.

Why?

Because I want you to record a video of me.

Please.

Hi.

My name is Jane Sloan,

and I run the "Failing Feminist" vertical

at "Scarlet."

About a week ago,

one of my writers told me that he was attracted to me,

and I didn't say anything because I'm his boss.

But the truth is that every time I'm near him,

all I can think about is kissing him.

And if anybody was to find that out,

it could jeopardize my job.

You can put this online if you want to,

but I trust that you won't.

Why did you do that?

Because I trust you,

and I want you to know that you could trust me, too.

I just need to find my power cord.

You were amazing.

Was that always the backup plan?

No, it just sort of came out,

and you know, I knew

that I had to say something to gain her trust, so...

Well, you definitely gained it.

Got it.

Okay, so if we hit the road now,

can have you back by 9:00.

Oh, wow.

I didn't realize how late it was.

I mean, the bus is just picking everybody up

first thing tomorrow.

I feel bad for not going back,

but I could probably just convince Jacqueline

to let me write the piece from home.

That way, it's ready for her to read in the morning.

- Can I ask you something? - Of course.

Did you lie to Raana about wanting to kiss me

in order to get the story?

I would never lie to a source.

Okay, well...

I really want to kiss you, too.

So...

what do we do?

I don't know.

But, um...

I should really write this story, so...

Okay.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah.

- Good night. - Night.

How about the noise it made when Sutton fell to the ground?

- Oh, yeah. - Sounded like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Yeah, she probably never saw a trust fall before.

Yeah, it probably didn't help that she'd had a few drinks.

Yeah, probably not.

Pretty big mistake on her part.

Well, they did have an open bar.

Well, even so, it was a work event

before the biggest presentation "Scarlet's" ever had.

What are you trying to say?

Just that people make mistakes.

Okay, I would hardly compare Sutton's fall

to Joey's comment.

Okay, how about the mistake that you made?

When that girl felt you were pressuring her into hooking up.

Okay, you know I felt terrible about that.

And I would never do that today.

I know, I know. It was just a mistake.

And thankfully, we didn't cancel you because of it.

Okay, fine.

Maybe Joey didn't deserve to get fired.

Oh, I did a deep dive on him. He didn't.

Okay, but I didn't fire him. "Pinstripe Magazine" did

because the internet has a mind of its own.

Right and so do you.

So maybe you can do something to change that.

Jane! This article is incredible!

I can see why Jacqueline forgave you

for ducking out of the retreat.

Oh, thanks.

All right, not gonna lie.

That bathtub's a little hard to get used to

after Richard's but still very comforting.

Everything okay?

Um...

Oliver pitched my idea to Jacqueline,

and she wants me to style the whole staff

and create a sizzle reel to open up the conference.

- That's amazing! - Yeah!

I can see why. You deserve this.

Yeah, I don't think I do.

I think I'm a really terrible person.

I miss Richard so much.

It's okay. We know.

It's okay to be sad.

Yeah.

It's a little more than that.

Um...

Ooh.

When I went home to Harrisburg...

I slept with Billy,

and he has a wife

and kids.

Oh...

I know I should've told you guys.

I just feel so ashamed and gross.

Hey, look.

- Honey. - You made a mistake.

That does not mean that you're a terrible person.

What if it does?

- It doesn't. - No, mm-mm.

I mean, I felt so ashamed

after I slept with Eva.

Felt like I turned my back on everything I believed in,

and I hated myself for it.

I should've told you guys,

but I just... I couldn't.

Yeah.

Can we make a promise

to never keep secrets from each other?

Well, if we're doing that...

I think I might have feelings for Scott.

- Oh! - Ah, great!

How much do I owe you?

- 30 bucks, baby. - What?

What, are you making bets on whether or not I like Scott?

- No. - No, no.

We knew you liked Scott.

We were just making a bet

on whether or not you'd admit it.

So what are you gonna do about it?

I don't think there is anything I can do.

There has to be! You're a powerful young female

who is the future of "Scarlet",

and you deserve to be happy,

especially after this past year.

Yeah.

And it does feel kinda nice to like someone.

If you really like him, and you do it the right way,

you can make it work.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

You see how much better it is when we talk to each other?

Yeah. Should we cheers to not keeping secrets?

I feel like I should get the wine.

No.

- Yeah, I was joking. - Yeah.

Oh.

Hey, Addison.

Just read your article. It's great.

Oh, thanks.

I was just wondering,

did you get my email about Cynthia's interview?

Her... her story doesn't line up.

What?
