The Bold Type (2017–…): Season 4, Episode 14 - The Truth Will Set You Free - full transcript
Previously, on
"The Bold Type"...
I saw that the Belle
is hiring bartenders.
You could work here.
You could even do
like a podcast.
How about you record
one episode?
- And if I don't like it, then...
- I won't bring it up again.
Eva... I think you knew that
since you got my father fired
from his own company
after 25 years.
How am I gonna do this job
and have a baby?
There's no heartbeat.
I think I feel relieved
that I'm not having this baby.
Whatever you're feeling
right now,
it's okay.
I got a double mastectomy
three months ago.
When Kevin
tried to touch me there,
I just... I freaked out.
I just... I'm not comfortable
with them.
I wrote a piece about it
to see if maybe
I could find people like me.
We'll see if people show up.
I think they will.
No, no, no, I need you
to go right now.
Yes, I have a first date,
but you gotta go.
- Jane, this is huge.
- Yeah.
- This is really big.
- Mm-hmm.
I mean, two weeks ago,
you said you weren't ready.
I know, but my support group
thinks it'll help, so...
Yeah, and, seriously,
I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
- What's he like?
- What does he do?
- He's the...
geographically desirable
and a twin.
- That's all I know. So you have to go,
- A twin.
Can you go?
I have to finish getting ready.
Yes, no, no, no,
I'm gonna get
- out of your hair ASAP.
- Okay.
But, hey,
I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
- I love you.
- Call me if you need anything at all.
- Nope,
- you have fun with Marissa.
Tell her I said hi. - Okay.
♪ You're a house on fire
♪ The match and the lighter
This is nice...
just sitting here with you,
getting to know each other.
I mean, i-it's a little weird
staring at you on my computer,
but, uh, maybe we should, uh,
talk about our hobbies.
I'll go first, um...
I love to write,
except I do that for a living,
so I guess that doesn't
really count as a hobby, um...
uh, I-I love lists,
and I like to check things off
after I've completed them.
Huh, I've always said that I
was gonna run a marathon,
but I haven't done that yet.
I think I left it over here.
Oh, my God.
What's happening?
Is that your... your date
on the computer?
Why are you naked?
And why isn't he here?
My date is here.
I-I'm dating my boobs, Kat.
"THE BOLD TYPE"
Season 04 Episode 14
Title : "The Truth Will Set You Free"
♪ Make you my man,
and I'll be your woman ♪
♪ We can make it
unless I make it one moment ♪
♪ More champagne for us
♪ Let's get drunk
and make loving ♪
- ♪ But I know you're in love...
- Really?
You look
so handsome right now.
And it's been two weeks.
- I'm ready.
- Mm.
- Great.
- Mm-hmm.
Let's do this.
God, I missed this.
Mm, me too.
Actually,
I read somewhere
that, if I'm on top,
our chances are better.
Um, chances better
for what?
Conceiving.
Apparently position
makes a difference.
Oh, um, I...
I-I was saying
I'm ready
for regular sex not...
not baby sex.
Right, of course.
I'm sorry.
No, it's...
I should've been clearer.
I read into it.
I guess... I'm just ready
to try again.
Ever since we got pregnant,
it's all I can think about...
Starting a family with you,
being a dad,
having a little baby you or me.
Okay, not right now,
but when you're ready,
I'm ready to try again.
Okay.
Hello.
I see your date
spent the night.
Must have gone well, hey.
Ah, funny.
- Thank you.
- Oh, okay.
Hey, look, I know
I don't really know much
about this stuff,
and maybe you don't want
to talk about it,
but if you do...
My support group gave me
a how to love your body
post-mastectomy guide.
First step is getting
to know your boobs
as if you're dating them.
Hm.
It was awkward and silly
and weird, and if I could,
I'd never ask 'em out again.
Plus they're kind of clingy.
Well, first dates
are the worst, am I right?
But you know what
makes 'em better?
Activities... you should
take them out.
Body painting,
a seaweed spa wrap.
It's a good idea.
Hopefully not the only one
I have today.
Oh, right,
tonight's the podcast trial
with Penny, the woman who runs
the domestic violence shelter.
She actually had to bail
for a conference in Boston,
but it's all good.
I got this woman
who invented a device
that cleans plastic
out of the ocean,
so hopefully it goes well,
and once Darby gives me
the green light, then Penny
can be my next guest.
- That's awesome.
- Thank you.
I just... I hope
I can pull it off, you know?
- Make a difference.
- You will.
- You always do.
- Thanks.
And, look, I know maybe it
wasn't love at first sight,
but I do think you're gonna
have your happily ever after.
All three of you.
You're perfect for each other.
Jacqueline,
we have a pitch meeting.
Oh.
How does that look?
- Good, good, very good.
- Mm.
Ian took it,
and I've kind of forgotten
how... talented he is.
Well, he has, like,
the perfect subject, so...
Thank you, Andrew.
I mean, of course,
yeah, my p-pleas...
There's a pitch meeting.
Pitch meeting.
Good morning,
beautiful people.
Morning.
Who's feeling alive today?
- Whoo!
- Yes!
Good!
And who feels sexy
and confident?
- Me.
- Good for you, Andrew.
Thank you.
We are all very powerful,
sexual creatures,
and we deserve
to feel that way.
Now, that all comes,
of course, from the inside,
but, clothes do help,
which is why I want
to celebrate
the power of fashion.
Pitches.
Sexy lingerie...
Does wearing it to the office
make you feel more
or less in charge?
Love it.
What else?
I can do a piece
for "The Failing Feminist"...
Power dressing
outside the office.
My mom had this DVF wrap dress,
and she didn't work
or anything,
but I could just tell
from photos that she felt
really powerful and important
when wearing it.
Well, I would love
if you could find that photo
- to include it in your piece.
- Yeah, I think I can.
Fashion people.
- Okay, sorry, Jasper's here.
- What?
You got this, Red.
Uh...
Sutton?
Okay.
Well, we could do
a photo spread
of the female business uniform
through the decades.
What kind of clothing
does make women feel
powerful and sexual
and independent?
I feel like society
would really like for us
to believe that women dress
to impress men,
but the truth is iconic pieces
like the Chanel tweed suit
Diane von Furstenberg's
wrap dress were created
so that women could feel sexy
for themselves.
So maybe some female designers,
you know?
And how their fashion
empowers women
to own their sexuality.
That is exactly the kind
of thing I'm looking for.
How would you like
to run point
- on that fashion spread?
- I would really love that.
Great.
What else we got?
I vaguely remember
that picture.
I'm wearing yellow rainboots,
and Mom's
in a brown, patterned dress?
Oh, I remember that dress.
She loved how easy it was
to take on and off.
Yeah, the photo
is on the wall by the stairs
- in a silver frame.
- You okay?
'Cause you didn't say gross
when I alluded
to your mom and me,
you know... doing it.
Yeah, uh, gross, okay?
Um... I'm fine.
I just have a lot
on my mind, but I'm good.
Okay.
Oh, um.
I'll, uh, scan the photo
and send it as soon as I can.
Okay, thanks.
Love you, Dad.
- Bye.
- Yeah.
He wants to get pregnant,
like, now.
- No pressure.
- I know.
And he doesn't even know
how relieved I felt
when I found out
I wasn't having a baby.
Honestly, I didn't think
I was gonna have
to talk to him about it.
Well, I mean, you have
to tell him how you feel.
And disappoint him?
I can't do that.
Yeah, but, Sutton,
getting accidentally pregnant
and planning for a baby
are two very different things,
and you're allowed
to want to wait.
Yeah, and Richard,
he'll understand.
I don't know.
I just...
Let's talk
about something else.
How's the podcast?
It was kind of boring.
For someone who's
so interesting and impressive,
she just didn't really,
like, bring anything.
I don't think it's exciting
enough to impress Darby.
Well, if you're looking
for exciting,
- take me for a cruise.
- Really?
Yeah, 'cause I am...
styling a very exciting shoot
about fashion and
empowerment.
But the podcast
is members only,
and, uh...
You're still my guest, kid.
I spend so much time
at this bar,
I keep forgetting that.
You could do
Jane's boobs.
No, sorry,
they're booked and busy...
- Body plastering.
- What?
Kat took this class
where you make a cast
of a body part.
Vagina.
Bet no one's
done boobs before.
It's a pretty decent
second date.
But a better idea, though,
would be for you to come
and be a part of my shoot.
Honestly, I'm not really
ready to be photographed yet.
Okay.
Could I get
a gin martini please?
Yeah.
- Straight?
- Dirty.
Interesting.
You think I don't have taste?
- Oh, you read minds now?
- Sometimes.
Hmm, really?
Well, that is impressive.
A telepathic NRA
card-carrying Republican.
Not as impressive as
a feminist socialist activist
who finally knows
how to make a good drink.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I really don't like her.
She is so lucky that
she's on the board at Safford.
I mean, did you see?
She defended
hardline immigration
last night on ABC news.
Yeah,
like a heartless monster.
Yeah, and I couldn't
change the channel.
Neither could I.
- Oh, no.
- What?
I know who I need to get
on the podcast.
- Who? - Who?
- Her.
♪ 'Cause we're boring people
boring lives ♪
♪ Dubba dub bom
♪ Dubba dubba dub bom
Wow, what is going on?
This smells amazing.
Just a little
celebratory breakfast
for my wife who's been kicking
so much ass at work lately.
You want eggs.
I can make eggs.
- No, no, no, it's not that.
- Okay, what is it?
I have to...
tell you something.
Okay.
Yesterday,
when we were talking
- about trying for a baby...
- Right.
Just... work is so great,
and we just got married,
and I just really want
to enjoy this moment, you know?
26, newly married stylist.
Okay.
I-I didn't know how
to tell you in the moment,
but I...
I'm not close
to being ready.
Are you mad?
Mad?
No, no, of course not.
A little disappointed,
maybe,
but this is gonna happen
when we are both ready.
Yeah.
- I love you.
- Love you.
Thank you for being
understanding.
Now, grab some syrup
and some cakes.
Let's eat.
Oh...
Do you need something?
Uh, me?
I, um, was actually
just wondering
if I could get your help
with something.
What's up?
So I have this idea
for a podcast,
and the Belle has agreed
to listen to an episode,
and if it's good,
then they'll let me do it here.
Okay.
It's conversations
across the bar kind of thing
where I interview members about
their passions and projects.
Okay.
And I think that
you would be a great guest.
You want me
to do your podcast?
Yes, I think you
would be interesting.
- Really?
- Yes, really.
We could debate the issues.
That... is unexpected
on so many levels.
I'm going to politely decline.
Why?
Because you don't strike me
as someone
who can fairly engage
with conservatives, Kat.
Okay, I can
rein it in for a podcast.
Well, I look forward
to seeing that,
but not with me.
Good luck though.
That's a really good idea.
It is a great idea.
- Okay, this guy.
- Yep.
- And this guy too... straight...
- To the studio, got it, yep.
- You're the best.
- Yep.
- Mm-hmm, how's it going?
- So great.
Do you ever get that feeling
that you're just
doing exactly
what you're meant to do?
The first day
I walked into "Scarlet."
You know, my mom never had
a Chanel tweed suit
or a DVF wrap dress,
and I always wanted her
to be the kind of woman
that did,
but she was a waitress.
Well, I guess
her waitress uniform
was her own version
of powerful.
She must be so proud of you.
She is.
She knows how much
I love styling.
There was a minute there
where I didn't know
if it was gonna happen.
You know?
Watching Kat and Jane
rise the ranks,
and I just felt
like I was idling.
You were an assistant longer
than you wanted to be.
Mm-hmm.
But you were never idling.
You were preparing
for your moment
so that
when the time was right,
you would soar.
Everyone has
their own timeline.
Yeah, we do, don't we?
Unbelievable.
Wow, that "honey I'm home"
greeting was very short-lived.
Yeah, well...
Eva doesn't think
I can talk to Republicans
and have
a productive conversation,
so she said no
to being in my podcast.
Mm, ta-da.
Nice boobs.
Thanks.
Great job.
How was your plastering class?
Oh, it was a nightmare.
I hated every minute of it.
Oh.
But thank you for trying.
These sunflower nipples
are making me very happy.
- They're beautiful.
- Thanks.
Have you given
any more thought
to being in Sutton's shoot?
It might help.
It just kind of feels
like a lot,
but, I mean, maybe.
Wait, so you really think
that Eva can help you
- get that podcast?
- Yeah, I know she can.
Well, then show her
that she's wrong.
Go to one
of her Republican mixers.
I have an idea,
and I think it's gonna
make both of us happy.
Okay, just because we're not
on the same timeline
doesn't mean that we
shouldn't be prepared
for when we're both ready,
so I did some research.
A sperm bank.
I didn't know that older sperm
can have an effect on children.
Same way older eggs can.
I gotta be honest.
This is a little weird.
I know.
But I do love
that you're thinking about us,
- about our future.
- Mm-hmm.
So...
does this mean...
We're gonna put
our future children on ice?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So we swing by
the sperm bank,
and then I drop you off
at work.
How modern are we?
Oh, wow, listen to this.
With sperm freezing,
58-year-old Hank Tier
"was able to get
his wife pregnant
15 years after he
froze his sperm."
15 years?
15 years.
- That's crazy.
- Yeah, it is.
I mean, I knew
that it was "forever."
I just wasn't thinking
about what that means
practically, you know?
Buys us so much time.
I'm so happy
you agreed to be in the shoot.
Can I come see?
Jane, you look so pretty.
Thanks.
It's a little big here though.
Oh, let me just take it in
a little bit.
Ooh, I'm so sorry!
Are you okay?
What?
Uh, I just pricked you
with a pin.
You didn't feel it?
No, no,
I didn't feel anything.
Um... okay, I'm gonna go grab
the first-aid kit.
Okay.
I didn't order anything.
Go next door.
Dad?
What?
How?
Miles and an empty seat.
Uh, but why?
Oh, I don't know.
'Cause I wanted to give you
the photo of your mom,
and when I found the dress,
I thought you might
like that too.
Also I didn't feel great
about how you sounded
on the phone, thought maybe
you could use a hug.
- Hey.
- Hey!
Hey.
What do you want
for lunch?
I could do salad
or Thai if you have time.
Mm, maybe we
should do the salad place.
Okay, great.
I love salad, big fan.
Big... salad fan.
Hey, are you okay, baby?
I mean, I don't really
have that much time...
not 15 years anyway.
We're not talking
about lunch anymore are we?
I'm sorry, it's just...
That thing you said
this morning
about freezing sperm
for 15 years...
You seemed really happy
about that.
I don't wanna be
an old dad.
I wanna be there
for our kids' graduations,
for their weddings,
and for their kids.
I can't wait 15 years.
Hey...
I don't need
to wait 15 years.
How long do you think
you need?
Okay, how about this?
We promise
that within five years,
we try for a baby again.
You'll be in your early 30s.
I'll be mid-40s.
What do you say?
- Pinkie promise?
- Yeah, pinkie promise.
And then I took
this plastering class.
It was supposed to make me feel
"one" with my body,
but instead it just
made me feel fake...
Like I'm trying
to convince my brain
to be over something
that it's not.
- Did you try writing about it?
- Yeah.
- That didn't help?
- Not really.
I mean,
nothing's really helped.
My friends have been
amazing,
but they don't
really understand
how this feels,
and the support group,
they help a little,
but you know what?
Maybe this is just
the way it is now.
Maybe I'm just supposed
to muddle through.
Come on,
let's get out of here.
Hm?
Come on, maybe
a little fresh air will help.
Okay.
But, let's face it,
the infighting
amongst the Democratic Party
makes them vulnerable
to criticism.
I mean, I still know people
who are arguing
- about Bernie and Hillary.
- I know.
The myopic attitude
consistently
holds the party back
as a whole.
You know, I actually agree.
Both parties could use
a better direction.
I think mission statements
would be helpful.
Yes, but Dems are famous
for being aimless
and wandering.
Well,
they're also passionate.
And emotional, which makes
their message confusing,
Yes, yes, you know,
I actually think that
that's true.
Emotion does get
in the way sometimes.
As long as they stick
to the plan
and have a clear goal...
I thought
we were going to eat.
I just wanted to stop here
for old time's sake.
You remember when
you used to spend hours
searching
for that perfect planner
before a school year?
Yeah, well, it wasn't
just the planner.
It was the pens and the tabs.
It was kind of a whole thing.
I actually didn't get
a planner for next year.
Oh, well, you should.
Here, pick one, my treat.
Wow,
there are seven colors.
Do you think they did that
for every day of the week?
- Maybe.
- Hm.
Why do I love this so much?
Because you like
to plan things
- in an organized manner.
- Yeah, I do.
What do you think of this one?
Plenty of room for lists
and a special place for goals.
Goals are good.
Come on, grab those pens
you've been eyeing,
and let's check out.
Hey.
He's paying.
Yep, I'm Dad.
She's a writer.
I didn't expect
to see you here.
Yeah, well,
I didn't expect to be here,
but I wanted to prove to you
that I can have
a healthy debate
with the other side,
and the only way to do that
is to show you, so...
That's impressive.
Hm.
It's gonna take more
than one conversation.
I know.
Identity politics
is so touchy.
Shall we?
Everything is politically
incorrect these days.
I know.
I am terrified
of saying the wrong thing.
Yeah, I mean, I think
that that's a fear
a lot of people share,
especially in the age
of social media.
What am I supposed to say
to my 13-year-old daughter
when she thinks
it's fashionable to be gay?
Uh, I don't know
about fashionable.
No, she's right.
Just look at these
queer celebrities...
Kristen Stewart,
and what's the other one?
Oh, Cara Delevingne.
It's like kids are being
bullied if they're straight.
Bullied, really?
I know it's hard to believe,
but it is happening,
and it is a problem.
I actually think
that the real problem
is what's happening right here.
I think what Kat means
to say is that there's no way...
Eva, maybe let someone
from the queer community
field this one.
Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
that you were...
- Oh, queer?
- Yeah...
I am, yeah,
and I can assure you,
there is no liberal agenda
to turn straight people gay,
promise.
We just want equal rights
and opportunities...
The same ones you have.
And I just want my daughter
to grow up happy and normal.
Normal... uh, as in straight?
As in the way God intended.
That is how I feel.
Okay, I think coming here
was a really bad idea.
Kat, Kat, wait.
You were right.
I can't do it.
Talking to people like that...
It was a mistake.
No, it wasn't.
I'll do your podcast.
Why?
I just proved that I couldn't
engage in a healthy debate.
Kat, do you want me
to do your podcast?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, then I would shut up
and accept the offer.
Okay.
Okay, so when the issue
of identity politics
comes up in your circles,
how do you combat the stigma
that the conservative party
is overall homophobic?
I don't combat it at all
because
it's none of my business.
I don't think
that it should be brought up
nor should that fire be fanned
because sexuality whether homo,
hetero, pan, A, or other,
it doesn't define a person.
Okay, sure,
it doesn't define a person,
but it certainly adds
to why they might be put
into the category of other,
and therefore oppressed
under the system we're all in.
The system being...
Capitalism and patriarchy.
Right.
Okay, I see you laughing,
and I mean,
you can go ahead and laugh
if you want,
but you are also
a victim of the system.
You're a woman living
in the world,
and you can't be immune
to the effects of that.
Well, in the LGBTQ community,
it just feels like...
Okay, Eva, you have to stop
speaking for a community
that you're not involved in.
It's not your place.
I can speak
for that community...
My community...
Because I'm a lesbian.
I am a Republican woman
who is not defined
by my sexuality
because sexuality
is not a personality trait.
Just because
I don't wear it on my sleeve
doesn't mean that I don't
get to claim my space.
Absolutely, yes.
I mean, you should be able
to claim your space.
And identity politics
are... very tricky.
I always knew
you'd be a writer.
You were constantly jotting
things down in your notebook,
coming up with stories,
setting your own deadlines.
I did do that, didn't I?
You never gave yourself
much time.
Yeah, well,
I kind of liked the rush
of not knowing
if I could finish.
But you always did.
It's not always a race.
I know.
Some things take time,
but you have that now.
You get to fill all those days.
Every one of them, Jane.
You know why?
Because you did
something brave.
Not just for you but for me
and your brothers
and your friends.
Dad.
When you told me
that you tested positive
for the same gene
that took your mom, I...
I thought,
"I can't lose you too."
But I couldn't tell you
what to do.
It was your body,
your decision.
And I don't regret
making that decision,
I just...
I don't know.
I didn't think
it would be this hard.
I get that.
But that part of your body,
it's not the enemy.
It's the part
that saved your life.
It's not about
muddling through.
It's about embracing
and enjoying your life
as much as you can...
Every moment of it.
Huh?
You got a second chance
at life.
Your mother never had that.
I know.

- Oh, thanks T.
- You're the best.
- No problem.
- And do you need anything else?
- Yeah, I do actually.
Next time, can I get
your creative input?
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
I know you have some.
It's not that long ago
that I was you,
and I wouldn't be here
if somebody wasn't asking me
what my opinion is,
so I can count on you?
- You bet.
- Thank you.
Jane.
You look so beautiful.
Thanks.
Does this mean...
That I am participating in
your shoot if you will have me.
Duh.
And this dress.
It's my mom's.
My dad brought it for me
along with
some much needed
advice and perspective.
I'm gonna stop
feeling sorry for myself
and start living my life.
You know, that's why
I got the surgery...
To give me more time to live,
so I'm gonna do that.
- I'm gonna run a marathon.
- Oh.
I am going to do
all of the things
that I've always wanted to do
but have been putting off.
Jane, that is amazing.
You deserve everything
that you've ever wanted.
- So do you.
- Thanks.
Honestly, I kind of feel
like I have it.
Like, right here, right now,
nothing is missing, you know?
I-I'm living my life
exactly the way
that I want to.
Isn't that a good thing?
Not if the person
you're living it with
feels differently.
Jane, I'm asking Richard
to wait...
for me, but...
He's waiting for something
that I can't give him.
What do you mean?
I love my life
the way it is.
I don't want kids.
But you might change your mind
in, like, five years, you know?
I don't think
I'm going to.
I don't want kids, Jane.
I just don't.
How am I gonna tell Richard?
It's gonna break his heart.

"The Bold Type"...
I saw that the Belle
is hiring bartenders.
You could work here.
You could even do
like a podcast.
How about you record
one episode?
- And if I don't like it, then...
- I won't bring it up again.
Eva... I think you knew that
since you got my father fired
from his own company
after 25 years.
How am I gonna do this job
and have a baby?
There's no heartbeat.
I think I feel relieved
that I'm not having this baby.
Whatever you're feeling
right now,
it's okay.
I got a double mastectomy
three months ago.
When Kevin
tried to touch me there,
I just... I freaked out.
I just... I'm not comfortable
with them.
I wrote a piece about it
to see if maybe
I could find people like me.
We'll see if people show up.
I think they will.
No, no, no, I need you
to go right now.
Yes, I have a first date,
but you gotta go.
- Jane, this is huge.
- Yeah.
- This is really big.
- Mm-hmm.
I mean, two weeks ago,
you said you weren't ready.
I know, but my support group
thinks it'll help, so...
Yeah, and, seriously,
I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
- What's he like?
- What does he do?
- He's the...
geographically desirable
and a twin.
- That's all I know. So you have to go,
- A twin.
Can you go?
I have to finish getting ready.
Yes, no, no, no,
I'm gonna get
- out of your hair ASAP.
- Okay.
But, hey,
I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
- I love you.
- Call me if you need anything at all.
- Nope,
- you have fun with Marissa.
Tell her I said hi. - Okay.
♪ You're a house on fire
♪ The match and the lighter
This is nice...
just sitting here with you,
getting to know each other.
I mean, i-it's a little weird
staring at you on my computer,
but, uh, maybe we should, uh,
talk about our hobbies.
I'll go first, um...
I love to write,
except I do that for a living,
so I guess that doesn't
really count as a hobby, um...
uh, I-I love lists,
and I like to check things off
after I've completed them.
Huh, I've always said that I
was gonna run a marathon,
but I haven't done that yet.
I think I left it over here.
Oh, my God.
What's happening?
Is that your... your date
on the computer?
Why are you naked?
And why isn't he here?
My date is here.
I-I'm dating my boobs, Kat.

You look

And it's been two weeks.
- I'm ready.
- Mm.
- Great.
- Mm-hmm.
Let's do this.
God, I missed this.
Mm, me too.
Actually,
I read somewhere
that, if I'm on top,
our chances are better.
Um, chances better
for what?
Conceiving.
Apparently position
makes a difference.
Oh, um, I...
I-I was saying
I'm ready
for regular sex not...
not baby sex.
Right, of course.
I'm sorry.
No, it's...
I should've been clearer.
I read into it.
I guess... I'm just ready
to try again.
Ever since we got pregnant,
it's all I can think about...
Starting a family with you,
being a dad,
having a little baby you or me.
Okay, not right now,
but when you're ready,
I'm ready to try again.
Okay.
Hello.
I see your date
spent the night.
Must have gone well, hey.
Ah, funny.
- Thank you.
- Oh, okay.
Hey, look, I know
I don't really know much
about this stuff,
and maybe you don't want
to talk about it,
but if you do...
My support group gave me
a how to love your body
post-mastectomy guide.
First step is getting
to know your boobs
as if you're dating them.
Hm.
It was awkward and silly
and weird, and if I could,
I'd never ask 'em out again.
Plus they're kind of clingy.
Well, first dates
are the worst, am I right?
But you know what
makes 'em better?
Activities... you should
take them out.
Body painting,
a seaweed spa wrap.
It's a good idea.
Hopefully not the only one
I have today.
Oh, right,
tonight's the podcast trial
with Penny, the woman who runs
the domestic violence shelter.
She actually had to bail
for a conference in Boston,
but it's all good.
I got this woman
who invented a device
that cleans plastic
out of the ocean,
so hopefully it goes well,
and once Darby gives me
the green light, then Penny
can be my next guest.
- That's awesome.
- Thank you.
I just... I hope
I can pull it off, you know?
- Make a difference.
- You will.
- You always do.
- Thanks.
And, look, I know maybe it
wasn't love at first sight,
but I do think you're gonna
have your happily ever after.
All three of you.
You're perfect for each other.
Jacqueline,
we have a pitch meeting.
Oh.
How does that look?
- Good, good, very good.
- Mm.
Ian took it,
and I've kind of forgotten
how... talented he is.
Well, he has, like,
the perfect subject, so...
Thank you, Andrew.
I mean, of course,
yeah, my p-pleas...
There's a pitch meeting.
Pitch meeting.
Good morning,
beautiful people.
Morning.
Who's feeling alive today?
- Whoo!
- Yes!
Good!
And who feels sexy
and confident?
- Me.
- Good for you, Andrew.
Thank you.
We are all very powerful,
sexual creatures,
and we deserve
to feel that way.
Now, that all comes,
of course, from the inside,
but, clothes do help,
which is why I want
to celebrate
the power of fashion.
Pitches.
Sexy lingerie...
Does wearing it to the office
make you feel more
or less in charge?
Love it.
What else?
I can do a piece
for "The Failing Feminist"...
Power dressing
outside the office.
My mom had this DVF wrap dress,
and she didn't work
or anything,
but I could just tell
from photos that she felt
really powerful and important
when wearing it.
Well, I would love
if you could find that photo
- to include it in your piece.
- Yeah, I think I can.
Fashion people.
- Okay, sorry, Jasper's here.
- What?
You got this, Red.
Uh...
Sutton?
Okay.
Well, we could do
a photo spread
of the female business uniform
through the decades.
What kind of clothing
does make women feel
powerful and sexual
and independent?
I feel like society
would really like for us
to believe that women dress
to impress men,
but the truth is iconic pieces
like the Chanel tweed suit
Diane von Furstenberg's
wrap dress were created
so that women could feel sexy
for themselves.
So maybe some female designers,
you know?
And how their fashion
empowers women
to own their sexuality.
That is exactly the kind
of thing I'm looking for.
How would you like
to run point
- on that fashion spread?
- I would really love that.
Great.
What else we got?
I vaguely remember
that picture.
I'm wearing yellow rainboots,
and Mom's
in a brown, patterned dress?
Oh, I remember that dress.
She loved how easy it was
to take on and off.
Yeah, the photo
is on the wall by the stairs
- in a silver frame.
- You okay?
'Cause you didn't say gross
when I alluded
to your mom and me,
you know... doing it.
Yeah, uh, gross, okay?
Um... I'm fine.
I just have a lot
on my mind, but I'm good.
Okay.
Oh, um.
I'll, uh, scan the photo
and send it as soon as I can.
Okay, thanks.
Love you, Dad.
- Bye.
- Yeah.
He wants to get pregnant,
like, now.
- No pressure.
- I know.
And he doesn't even know
how relieved I felt
when I found out
I wasn't having a baby.
Honestly, I didn't think
I was gonna have
to talk to him about it.
Well, I mean, you have
to tell him how you feel.
And disappoint him?
I can't do that.
Yeah, but, Sutton,
getting accidentally pregnant
and planning for a baby
are two very different things,
and you're allowed
to want to wait.
Yeah, and Richard,
he'll understand.
I don't know.
I just...
Let's talk
about something else.
How's the podcast?
It was kind of boring.
For someone who's
so interesting and impressive,
she just didn't really,
like, bring anything.
I don't think it's exciting
enough to impress Darby.
Well, if you're looking
for exciting,
- take me for a cruise.
- Really?
Yeah, 'cause I am...
styling a very exciting shoot
about fashion and
empowerment.
But the podcast
is members only,
and, uh...
You're still my guest, kid.
I spend so much time
at this bar,
I keep forgetting that.
You could do
Jane's boobs.
No, sorry,
they're booked and busy...
- Body plastering.
- What?
Kat took this class
where you make a cast
of a body part.
Vagina.
Bet no one's
done boobs before.
It's a pretty decent
second date.
But a better idea, though,
would be for you to come
and be a part of my shoot.
Honestly, I'm not really
ready to be photographed yet.
Okay.
Could I get
a gin martini please?
Yeah.
- Straight?
- Dirty.
Interesting.
You think I don't have taste?
- Oh, you read minds now?
- Sometimes.
Hmm, really?
Well, that is impressive.
A telepathic NRA
card-carrying Republican.
Not as impressive as
a feminist socialist activist
who finally knows
how to make a good drink.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I really don't like her.
She is so lucky that
she's on the board at Safford.
I mean, did you see?
She defended
hardline immigration
last night on ABC news.
Yeah,
like a heartless monster.
Yeah, and I couldn't
change the channel.
Neither could I.
- Oh, no.
- What?
I know who I need to get
on the podcast.
- Who? - Who?
- Her.

Wow, what is going on?
This smells amazing.
Just a little
celebratory breakfast
for my wife who's been kicking
so much ass at work lately.
You want eggs.
I can make eggs.
- No, no, no, it's not that.
- Okay, what is it?
I have to...
tell you something.
Okay.
Yesterday,
when we were talking
- about trying for a baby...
- Right.
Just... work is so great,
and we just got married,
and I just really want
to enjoy this moment, you know?
26, newly married stylist.
Okay.
I-I didn't know how
to tell you in the moment,
but I...
I'm not close
to being ready.
Are you mad?
Mad?
No, no, of course not.
A little disappointed,
maybe,
but this is gonna happen
when we are both ready.
Yeah.
- I love you.
- Love you.
Thank you for being
understanding.
Now, grab some syrup
and some cakes.
Let's eat.
Oh...
Do you need something?
Uh, me?
I, um, was actually
just wondering
if I could get your help
with something.
What's up?
So I have this idea
for a podcast,
and the Belle has agreed
to listen to an episode,
and if it's good,
then they'll let me do it here.
Okay.
It's conversations
across the bar kind of thing
where I interview members about
their passions and projects.
Okay.
And I think that
you would be a great guest.
You want me
to do your podcast?
Yes, I think you
would be interesting.
- Really?
- Yes, really.
We could debate the issues.
That... is unexpected
on so many levels.
I'm going to politely decline.
Why?
Because you don't strike me
as someone
who can fairly engage
with conservatives, Kat.
Okay, I can
rein it in for a podcast.
Well, I look forward
to seeing that,
but not with me.
Good luck though.
That's a really good idea.
It is a great idea.
- Okay, this guy.
- Yep.
- And this guy too... straight...
- To the studio, got it, yep.
- You're the best.
- Yep.
- Mm-hmm, how's it going?
- So great.
Do you ever get that feeling
that you're just
doing exactly
what you're meant to do?
The first day
I walked into "Scarlet."
You know, my mom never had
a Chanel tweed suit
or a DVF wrap dress,
and I always wanted her
to be the kind of woman
that did,
but she was a waitress.
Well, I guess
her waitress uniform
was her own version
of powerful.
She must be so proud of you.
She is.
She knows how much
I love styling.
There was a minute there
where I didn't know
if it was gonna happen.
You know?
Watching Kat and Jane
rise the ranks,
and I just felt
like I was idling.
You were an assistant longer
than you wanted to be.
Mm-hmm.
But you were never idling.
You were preparing
for your moment
so that
when the time was right,
you would soar.
Everyone has
their own timeline.
Yeah, we do, don't we?
Unbelievable.
Wow, that "honey I'm home"
greeting was very short-lived.
Yeah, well...
Eva doesn't think
I can talk to Republicans
and have
a productive conversation,
so she said no
to being in my podcast.
Mm, ta-da.
Nice boobs.
Thanks.
Great job.
How was your plastering class?
Oh, it was a nightmare.
I hated every minute of it.
Oh.
But thank you for trying.
These sunflower nipples
are making me very happy.
- They're beautiful.
- Thanks.
Have you given
any more thought
to being in Sutton's shoot?
It might help.
It just kind of feels
like a lot,
but, I mean, maybe.
Wait, so you really think
that Eva can help you
- get that podcast?
- Yeah, I know she can.
Well, then show her
that she's wrong.
Go to one
of her Republican mixers.
I have an idea,
and I think it's gonna
make both of us happy.
Okay, just because we're not
on the same timeline
doesn't mean that we
shouldn't be prepared
for when we're both ready,
so I did some research.
A sperm bank.
I didn't know that older sperm
can have an effect on children.
Same way older eggs can.
I gotta be honest.
This is a little weird.
I know.
But I do love
that you're thinking about us,
- about our future.
- Mm-hmm.
So...
does this mean...
We're gonna put
our future children on ice?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So we swing by
the sperm bank,
and then I drop you off
at work.
How modern are we?
Oh, wow, listen to this.
With sperm freezing,
58-year-old Hank Tier
"was able to get
his wife pregnant
15 years after he
froze his sperm."
15 years?
15 years.
- That's crazy.
- Yeah, it is.
I mean, I knew
that it was "forever."
I just wasn't thinking
about what that means
practically, you know?
Buys us so much time.
I'm so happy
you agreed to be in the shoot.
Can I come see?
Jane, you look so pretty.
Thanks.
It's a little big here though.
Oh, let me just take it in
a little bit.
Ooh, I'm so sorry!
Are you okay?
What?
Uh, I just pricked you
with a pin.
You didn't feel it?
No, no,
I didn't feel anything.
Um... okay, I'm gonna go grab
the first-aid kit.
Okay.
I didn't order anything.
Go next door.
Dad?
What?
How?
Miles and an empty seat.
Uh, but why?
Oh, I don't know.
'Cause I wanted to give you
the photo of your mom,
and when I found the dress,
I thought you might
like that too.
Also I didn't feel great
about how you sounded
on the phone, thought maybe
you could use a hug.
- Hey.
- Hey!
Hey.
What do you want
for lunch?
I could do salad
or Thai if you have time.
Mm, maybe we
should do the salad place.
Okay, great.
I love salad, big fan.
Big... salad fan.
Hey, are you okay, baby?
I mean, I don't really
have that much time...
not 15 years anyway.
We're not talking
about lunch anymore are we?
I'm sorry, it's just...
That thing you said
this morning
about freezing sperm
for 15 years...
You seemed really happy
about that.
I don't wanna be
an old dad.
I wanna be there
for our kids' graduations,
for their weddings,
and for their kids.
I can't wait 15 years.
Hey...
I don't need
to wait 15 years.
How long do you think
you need?
Okay, how about this?
We promise
that within five years,
we try for a baby again.
You'll be in your early 30s.
I'll be mid-40s.
What do you say?
- Pinkie promise?
- Yeah, pinkie promise.
And then I took
this plastering class.
It was supposed to make me feel
"one" with my body,
but instead it just
made me feel fake...
Like I'm trying
to convince my brain
to be over something
that it's not.
- Did you try writing about it?
- Yeah.
- That didn't help?
- Not really.
I mean,
nothing's really helped.
My friends have been
amazing,
but they don't
really understand
how this feels,
and the support group,
they help a little,
but you know what?
Maybe this is just
the way it is now.
Maybe I'm just supposed
to muddle through.
Come on,
let's get out of here.
Hm?
Come on, maybe
a little fresh air will help.
Okay.
But, let's face it,
the infighting
amongst the Democratic Party
makes them vulnerable
to criticism.
I mean, I still know people
who are arguing
- about Bernie and Hillary.
- I know.
The myopic attitude
consistently
holds the party back
as a whole.
You know, I actually agree.
Both parties could use
a better direction.
I think mission statements
would be helpful.
Yes, but Dems are famous
for being aimless
and wandering.
Well,
they're also passionate.
And emotional, which makes
their message confusing,
Yes, yes, you know,
I actually think that
that's true.
Emotion does get
in the way sometimes.
As long as they stick
to the plan
and have a clear goal...
I thought
we were going to eat.
I just wanted to stop here
for old time's sake.
You remember when
you used to spend hours
searching
for that perfect planner
before a school year?
Yeah, well, it wasn't
just the planner.
It was the pens and the tabs.
It was kind of a whole thing.
I actually didn't get
a planner for next year.
Oh, well, you should.
Here, pick one, my treat.
Wow,
there are seven colors.
Do you think they did that
for every day of the week?
- Maybe.
- Hm.
Why do I love this so much?
Because you like
to plan things
- in an organized manner.
- Yeah, I do.
What do you think of this one?
Plenty of room for lists
and a special place for goals.
Goals are good.
Come on, grab those pens
you've been eyeing,
and let's check out.
Hey.
He's paying.
Yep, I'm Dad.
She's a writer.
I didn't expect
to see you here.
Yeah, well,
I didn't expect to be here,
but I wanted to prove to you
that I can have
a healthy debate
with the other side,
and the only way to do that
is to show you, so...
That's impressive.
Hm.
It's gonna take more
than one conversation.
I know.
Identity politics
is so touchy.
Shall we?
Everything is politically
incorrect these days.
I know.
I am terrified
of saying the wrong thing.
Yeah, I mean, I think
that that's a fear
a lot of people share,
especially in the age
of social media.
What am I supposed to say
to my 13-year-old daughter
when she thinks
it's fashionable to be gay?
Uh, I don't know
about fashionable.
No, she's right.
Just look at these
queer celebrities...
Kristen Stewart,
and what's the other one?
Oh, Cara Delevingne.
It's like kids are being
bullied if they're straight.
Bullied, really?
I know it's hard to believe,
but it is happening,
and it is a problem.
I actually think
that the real problem
is what's happening right here.
I think what Kat means
to say is that there's no way...
Eva, maybe let someone
from the queer community
field this one.
Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize
that you were...
- Oh, queer?
- Yeah...
I am, yeah,
and I can assure you,
there is no liberal agenda
to turn straight people gay,
promise.
We just want equal rights
and opportunities...
The same ones you have.
And I just want my daughter
to grow up happy and normal.
Normal... uh, as in straight?
As in the way God intended.
That is how I feel.
Okay, I think coming here
was a really bad idea.
Kat, Kat, wait.
You were right.
I can't do it.
Talking to people like that...
It was a mistake.
No, it wasn't.
I'll do your podcast.
Why?
I just proved that I couldn't
engage in a healthy debate.
Kat, do you want me
to do your podcast?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, then I would shut up
and accept the offer.
Okay.
Okay, so when the issue
of identity politics
comes up in your circles,
how do you combat the stigma
that the conservative party
is overall homophobic?
I don't combat it at all
because
it's none of my business.
I don't think
that it should be brought up
nor should that fire be fanned
because sexuality whether homo,
hetero, pan, A, or other,
it doesn't define a person.
Okay, sure,
it doesn't define a person,
but it certainly adds
to why they might be put
into the category of other,
and therefore oppressed
under the system we're all in.
The system being...
Capitalism and patriarchy.
Right.
Okay, I see you laughing,
and I mean,
you can go ahead and laugh
if you want,
but you are also
a victim of the system.
You're a woman living
in the world,
and you can't be immune
to the effects of that.
Well, in the LGBTQ community,
it just feels like...
Okay, Eva, you have to stop
speaking for a community
that you're not involved in.
It's not your place.
I can speak
for that community...
My community...
Because I'm a lesbian.
I am a Republican woman
who is not defined
by my sexuality
because sexuality
is not a personality trait.
Just because
I don't wear it on my sleeve
doesn't mean that I don't
get to claim my space.
Absolutely, yes.
I mean, you should be able
to claim your space.
And identity politics
are... very tricky.
I always knew
you'd be a writer.
You were constantly jotting
things down in your notebook,
coming up with stories,
setting your own deadlines.
I did do that, didn't I?
You never gave yourself
much time.
Yeah, well,
I kind of liked the rush
of not knowing
if I could finish.
But you always did.
It's not always a race.
I know.
Some things take time,
but you have that now.
You get to fill all those days.
Every one of them, Jane.
You know why?
Because you did
something brave.
Not just for you but for me
and your brothers
and your friends.
Dad.
When you told me
that you tested positive
for the same gene
that took your mom, I...
I thought,
"I can't lose you too."
But I couldn't tell you
what to do.
It was your body,
your decision.
And I don't regret
making that decision,
I just...
I don't know.
I didn't think
it would be this hard.
I get that.
But that part of your body,
it's not the enemy.
It's the part
that saved your life.
It's not about
muddling through.
It's about embracing
and enjoying your life
as much as you can...
Every moment of it.
Huh?
You got a second chance
at life.
Your mother never had that.
I know.

- Hey.
- Hi!
- Thought you might need this.
- Oh, thanks T.
- You're the best.
- No problem.
- And do you need anything else?
- Yeah, I do actually.
Next time, can I get
your creative input?
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
I know you have some.
It's not that long ago
that I was you,
and I wouldn't be here
if somebody wasn't asking me
what my opinion is,
so I can count on you?
- You bet.
- Thank you.
Jane.
You look so beautiful.
Thanks.
Does this mean...
That I am participating in
your shoot if you will have me.
Duh.
And this dress.
It's my mom's.
My dad brought it for me
along with
some much needed
advice and perspective.
I'm gonna stop
feeling sorry for myself
and start living my life.
You know, that's why
I got the surgery...
To give me more time to live,
so I'm gonna do that.
- I'm gonna run a marathon.
- Oh.
I am going to do
all of the things
that I've always wanted to do
but have been putting off.
Jane, that is amazing.
You deserve everything
that you've ever wanted.
- So do you.
- Thanks.
Honestly, I kind of feel
like I have it.
Like, right here, right now,
nothing is missing, you know?
I-I'm living my life
exactly the way
that I want to.
Isn't that a good thing?
Not if the person
you're living it with
feels differently.
Jane, I'm asking Richard
to wait...
for me, but...
He's waiting for something
that I can't give him.
What do you mean?
I love my life
the way it is.
I don't want kids.
But you might change your mind
in, like, five years, you know?
I don't think
I'm going to.
I don't want kids, Jane.
I just don't.
How am I gonna tell Richard?
It's gonna break his heart.

Divisive language.
