Okay, friends, where were we? Oh, yes,
Kat's social media campaign was the tits...
Unfortunately, Instagram has rules
against posting photos that include women's nipples.
That policy is sexist. But her defiant approach
wasn't exactly "breast" practices.
Sutton's first week in fashion
was all grunt and no glam... Americano, two Splendas.
Until she found a way to sweeten the deal.
What if I can get the Paduano?
But then she gets caught between her rock
and her happy place. So you're seeing him.
If you weren't, I'd kiss you right now.
And Jane's relationship with Pinstripe Guy
has had its highs, lows...
Are you writing about me? No.
And everything in between. I had fun last night.
Seems like maybe you had fun too.
I had fun twice, actually.
Time for a cold shower with "The Bold Type."
It's nice to be back in New York
helping the city conserve water.
Shh, less talking. Escape into outer space
On a bottle rocket
Ow. Ow. Sorry. You okay?
Okay, um, maybe if we just...
Uh, okay, maybe...
Yeah. Maybe together?
Uh, okay, maybe if we just...
This is gonna be a short article.
Yeah. Like this?
Ow, my hip, okay.
All right. It's just very hard
to have good shower sex in a tiny Brooklyn walkup.
Yeah. Um, okay, um...
Okay.
Yeah...
Yeah... Yeah...
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God... Yeah, if you could just...
Shh! Okay.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, I love you!
That. I...I love that.
Um, uh, if, uh...um,
okay, let's try it this...
Oh...whoa!
Oh oh oh whoa, my my
Sun is gonna shine, gonna shine on you
I...
can't believe...
we have to go to work.
I know.
But I do have a meeting at "Scarlet"
this morning, so...
Um, I should tell you
that Alex knows about us.
Does he? How's that?
I told him.
Well, he guessed.
He guessed?
That's not good.
He's not gonna say anything.
Are you sure? He's a friend.
Oh, I'm sure he is, but does he understand
how big of a deal this is?
He's not going to say anything.
No one's gonna find out.
Yeah, okay.
Kat and Jane...
Never.
They're my best friends. They have my back.
And you would know that if you spent a little time with them.
You know what? You're right.
I only ever see them in the office.
Maybe we have them over... for dinner.
Really? If they're your best friends,
I should know them.
Uh...
This is becoming a thing for us.
Sorry, small apartment.
Yeah, to go with your incredibly small shower.
Um, yeah, so about what I said in the shower.
You mean, "Oh, God, yes?" Because I agree with you.
We did eventually find a pretty good angle,
which is good, 'cause I was worried
I wasn't gonna have one for my shower sex article.
Angle. Funny.
I meant the other thing.
Jane, it's fine.
I know you didn't mean it. We both know what this is.
It's all good.
I gotta go. Early meeting.
Yeah, 'kay. Um...
I'll come back later to fix the shower curtain.
Yeah, it was your fault, so...
That doesn't count.
You were talking about the sex, not him.
Yeah, but still he got, like...weird.
He is a sex writer. He knows that people yell out
all kinds of weird stuff when they're doing it.
I had a boyfriend who would yell out,
"Cubs win!"
Sometimes I quote Nicki Minaj lyrics.
Well, that's not weird. That's just literal.
"He wants to pound it like a hashtag."
But it prompted the "What is this?" conversation.
Oh, I hate that conversation.
So what is this?
I have no idea!
Oh, my God. You are so annoying.
So, uh, did you guys read his last article?
I did. "Tantric Adventures: Totally Worth It,
or a Total Waste of Four Hours?"
So that means he must be dating other people, right?
'Cause there's no way that was tiny Jane.
Exactly. Well, actually...
Oh...
What? Wow! Okay.
See, that's why you're falling in love.
Okay, uh-uh. So you guys are down
for tonight, right? both: Yeah.
So excited to see Richard's apartment.
Totally. So not the point
of the evening. Well, and we'll, like,
talk and stuff. Whatever.
Oh, we're gonna miss the boat.
Come on. And I want to hear more about
the, uh, four hours thing.
Touching, rocking, humming.
Happy anniversary.
I love you. Love you.
Bye. Bye.
Kat, Natalie,
Chlamydia. Yeah, look, I...
It's not her first offense.
If she's going to tweet a medical link,
it needs to be medically accurate.
Otherwise that leaves us open to...
To legal action, yeah, I know.
And I am giving her a verbal warning to make sure
that she understands exactly where she went wrong.
Well, HR needs to be aware so they can note it in her file.
But it's your department. You set the tone. Top down.
I'll get her there, Jacqueline, don't worry.
If you say so, I won't.
Makeup tips are one thing,
but when it's something like this, multiple sources,
CDC site, something with a dot gov or dot org...
Got it, and I'm so embarrassed, Kat.
I wanted to get it tweeted out during our sexual health hour,
so I rushed it. Yeah, Twitter moves fast.
I get it, but we still need to check our sources.
It won't happen again.
Maybe while you're getting up to speed,
let's just stick with less heavy subject matter.
Like I said, makeup tips, celeb gossip.
I can totally do that. I'm going to kick ass for you.
I appreciate it.
You know, you're my first direct report, so...
make me proud.
I will. All right.
Sutton, one more thing. Call Louboutin.
I've been dreaming about these block heels.
I want them for the day-to-night shoot.
Right, okay, and who would I call over there?
Your contact. And who would that be?
And I was so excited
about your Paduano contact.
I certainly didn't think that we would have to have this talk.
Um...what talk?
This talk.
You have a glorious job, Sutton,
so glorious that it extends well beyond
the offices of "Scarlet" magazine
and your workday well beyond the hours that you put in here.
It's breakfast with your contact at Marc Jacobs,
drinks with your contact at Bottega Veneta,
dinner with your contact at Valentino.
See the pattern?
How's that sound? Expensive.
You need to get out there and network.
You need to make friends at all the fashion houses.
Then and only then will you be useful to me.
Networking. Right.
Jane, you're single, right?
Single? Um, well, it's kind of...
It's a yes or no question, not a diary entry.
I need a writer to review the new dating app SetYouUp.
It's a blind date concept with a
"Who knows you better than your best friend?" twist.
You don't choose your date. Your best friend does.
You have a few best friends, right?
Yes. So...
W...
Alex, how about you?
Single, ready to mingle.
Oh, that was so refreshingly easy.
The story's yours. No, I can do it!
I'm not exclusive,
and I could date more than one person at a time,
so, yeah, I'll do it.
Great. Please try to
make the article shorter than this exchange.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey, well, it's okay, honey
Go your way, I don't got no more business with ya
You tore...
So I found a digital message board
for fashion assistants.
I think it's gonna be my networking lifeline.
That's cool. Yeah.
And they have these events.
Tonight is high tea. How fun is that?
I could go before Richard's. I love tea.
I love this guy's abs. Ooh, let me see.
Hang on, hang on. What are you,
the boss of everybody now that you have one employee?
Natalie's Kat-in-training. Katalie.
Yeah, let's get it trending.
Hey, Jane, where are you on genital piercings...
love them or got to have them? If you choose someone
with genital piercings, I'll kill you.
Come on. Why are we picking anyone?
I thought that you were, um, in love with Pinstripe.
Okay, not funny.
And just because I'm hooking up with Pinstripe Guy
doesn't mean that I can't hook up with other people.
I am taking advantage of the fact
that I'm technically single.
Hey. I don't know what's more fun,
getting to pick Jane's guy
or watching Jane not get to pick her guy.
'Cause you just love anything
that doesn't involve your love life.
Don't go there, okay?
Moving on.
Oh...
hello, face tattoo.
Come home with me. Damn!
Wait, wait, go back.
What do you think?
Oh, come on.
Huh. Yeah, right?
I think we have a match.
Oh, my God, this is magical.
Fashion people really know how to do it.
You're just getting there?
Aren't you cutting it a little close?
No, I'm gonna make
a targeted strike on Louboutin,
and then I'll be there before Kat and Jane.
'Kay.
Hi.
Oh, petit fours. I love those.
Who doesn't?
I'm Sutton. I'm with "Scarlet."
Noelle, La Perla. La Perla?
I'm wearing your underwear.
I'm not wearing your underwear.
I'm wearing La Perla.
I get it. Yeah.
First time? Yeah.
I just started out in fashion,
so it's a little intimidating...
Tiffany, hi!
How are you?
Jane?
Landon? How you doing?
Uh, yeah, have a seat.
So I know this is a really terrible way to start a date,
but, uh, I actually have to be somewhere after this.
I know, I know, you have a hard out.
Yeah, your friends already told me.
It's vodka soda, right?
My friends are good.
Vodka soda for the lady.
Yeah, I'll have another drink.
Can we get another round?
According to your friends, you're a writer
who likes to write about anything but yourself.
And yet, somehow that's all I do.
According to your friends,
you're the Adam Clayton of intellectual property law.
Wow, they're nerds.
Um, Adam Clayton, he's the bassist...
The bassist for U2. For U2. Right.
Yeah, so I play bass guitar on the weekends.
Oh, okay, got it.
Yeah, I'm in an aught cover band.
Alt covers? Not really my thing.
Not alt covers. It's aught covers.
We only play songs from 2000 to 2009.
The aughts. Yes, the aughts.
Well, those were very good years for me.
Oh, really? Yeah.
I'll play you something sometime.
Thank you.
How many of those have you eaten?
A lot.
Maybe you should lay off.
This is high tea.
Yeah, I know.
It's so fun.
I haven't been to high tea since my grandma took me
for my 12th birthday.
No, no.
It's high tea.
Oh...
S-so the...the petit fours...
Are potent.
Oh! Oh, no.
Yeah.
Come on, Sutton.
I'll introduce you around. Oh, no!
Uh-oh.
Oh, that must be my friends.
Oh, your hard out.
I actually have an exit strategy of my own.
Oh, really? Yeah, my friend,
he's gonna call with a minor medical emergency
in about 20 minutes just in case.
Right.
I'll tell you what. Um...
I'll tell him to call an ambulance
if you tell your friend
you're gonna be a few minutes late.
And my friends are getting antsy.
Yeah. You want another vodka soda?
Actually, I should...
You know what?
Yeah, let's get another. Why not?
Could we get another round?
It's...it's really an amazing group,
a lot of people worth knowing,
and everyone else is fun to gossip about.
Hi. Hi!
That's Katie from Calvin Klein.
She's totally talentless,
but she's sleeping with one of their execs,
so she's kind of a big deal...
until it implodes
and she's back working at Off 5th.
Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, my God, you're gonna be so high.
Tiffany, you have to meet Sutton.
Hi! She works for "Scarlet."
That's such a good handshake. I love it.
You...have an awesome apartment.
Thank you. Yeah, I really like it,
especially when I get to do something like this.
I'm here! I'm here.
Hey. Hi!
Hi. Are...are you drunk?
Yeah, I'm drunk.
I had an assignment that involved cocktails,
and I'm tiny, so...
All right.
This place...
wow! Thank you.
Do you have a glass of water?
Coming right up. Okay.
So, uh, how was the dude?
Oh, he was charming
and normal and emotionally mature.
Oh, wow. And then Pinstripe Guy texted.
Oh, yeah, Pinstripe Guy.
Sutton said you were dating one of their writers.
We're not dating.
It's...ill-defined.
Oh, hello there.
Hi!
You guys, networking is so hard,
'cause I'm really high right now.
High? The petit fours
were pot fours. It was high tea!
I'm so sorry that I'm late.
It's okay. But I brought dessert.
Thank you. It's pot.
Ooh, that's soft hair. It's, like, really soft hair.
Maybe we should get you
something to eat. I think I need to be
horizontal on a cold, flat surface.
Do you want me to get you a cold...
No, no, no. No. Just, um, mingle.
I just need a minute.
I'm gonna go check on her.
Jane? I need Jane.
Mm, that's me.
And I thought I was the wild one.
Wow!
Jane, I need you.
I'm here.
Oh...here comes another wave.
It starts in my toes, and then it goes...
How long does this go on for?
Pffft. I don't know.
Not more than, like, hours.
Stay with me.
I'm getting in.
This is nice.
I feel like we should do shots or something,
catch up. Yeah.
Oh, no. What?
It's my staffer.
She just saw Kylie Jenner out, and...
Oh, my God, does she think this is funny?
#secondhottestJenner?
That's not the way our brand should be
talking about anybody,
let alone... Yeah, I know. I...
You need to call your staffer immediately.
No, it's okay. I just deleted it, so...
Kat, if Kylie's people get ahold of this,
they're gonna want to know it was handled.
Okay, well, I just handled it.
both: Kat!
And now I have to go handle that.
Excuse me.
Hey.
You guys feeling...
So good. Yeah?
Amazing. Yeah?
Oh, no, not good.
Pfff...
Okay, good again.
Hey, Jane's going on another date with SetYouUp guy.
He kissed me. W...Who knows ya, huh?
Oop.
Should you tell Pinstripe Guy?
I don't know. Do...should I?
You did tell him you loved him.
No, shh. Oh, here I go again,
you guys. I'm still going up.
Come on in, Kat.
Okay, I'm getting in, but just for a few minutes.
Thank you. Watch out, here I come.
Whose foot is that?
Everything okay in here?
Richard, hi, come in. There's room.
Thanks for the invite, but I'm gonna pass.
He can be really serious sometimes.
Did I whisper that? I meant to whisper that.
I didn't whisper that? No.
You know what's a funny word?
Whisper.
Hi.
Hey. How you feeling?
Well, I can feel my toes again,
so I'm thinking that's a good thing.
Are you super pissed?
Well, believe it or not, there was a time
when I would have loved to have
three 20-something girls in my bathtub,
but now...
I know.
I'm sorry... that I got so high.
I didn't know there was weed in those things.
Well, hey, I get it.
Every networking event should end that way.
Your friends are...
Good people. Mm, yeah, they're great.
They're fun. They're, um...
Young.
Yeah.
Listen, this is Corporate. I got to jump on this call.
Hey, guys, it's Richard.
Yeah.
Natalie, follow me. I'm about to run into a meeting,
but we need to have a quick talk about Kylie Jenner.
It...it was supposed to be funny.
I mean, obviously, she's so hot, but her sister's a supermodel,
so that makes her the second hottest.
Hey, see, that's not very funny.
Okay.
My bad. You said to stick to celeb gossip.
Yeah, that's not gossip. Okay, I...I'm confused.
You told me to do celeb gossip, so I did.
I feel like I'm not understanding
how to do this right.
Okay, uh...
I can see that you're frustrated,
so, uh, why don't we do a bunch of tweets together?
Yeah. I'll push my meeting
and take you through it step by step.
Thank you.
Last night was fun though.
We should do that again, maybe at our place?
Actually, no, Kat's is nicer.
Uh, were you at the same dinner party I was?
Stocked bar, great food, huge bathtub.
Which we also ate dinner in.
Was Richard okay with that?
We can't talk about him at work.
I know, I'm sorry, but was he mad?
No, he had fun.
Uh, I should get back to work though.
Hi. Hi.
Um, to what do I owe this pleasure?
Oh, well, I, uh, finished my shower sex article,
and I wanted to thank you, so, um, Chinese chicken or Greek?
Chinese chicken, please. Mm-hmm.
So what are you working on?
Um...
well, I should probably just tell you.
Um, I had a date last night.
It was for this article, but we...kissed.
I just thought you should know.
Well, everything's copy, right?
Did you just quote Nora Ephron to me?
Yes, I did.
Anyways, this guy asked me out again,
and I wasn't sure what to say,
so I thought we should be honest with each other.
I'm confused. I thought we were
being honest with each other. Um...
I just...
wanted you to know that I'm seeing other people.
Great. Well, so am I.
That's what I figured.
So, great-glad we cleared that up.
Yeah. Thanks for your honesty
and...for this salad.
Okay, so I have dinner and a room booked at the St. Regis,
and a town car will pick up you and your husband at 7:00.
That is exactly what I wanted to hear.
St. Regis, romantic.
Uh, I heard about last night's errant tweet.
Yeah, look, I deleted it right away.
Oh, no, I know, but I need to know
that I can rely on you to handle Natalie.
Mm-hmm, already talked to her.
Otherwise your issue becomes my problem.
As it is, that little tweet was already noticed
outside of your department.
I got a call from a board member.
Really? Yes, Richard Hunter
saw the tweet. I guess the board members
really do pay attention.
I guess they do. Mm-hmm.
Which is no small deal, certainly not to me.
Yeah.
Do we understand each other? Absolutely.
I need to talk to you.
Kat, you should not be up here.
I just spoke with Jacqueline.
I cannot believe that you went over my head.
I am over your head, Kat.
I told you that I had it handled.
I looked up Natalie's file.
She is making the same mistakes over and over again,
and it is becoming a liability,
so, no, you really don't have it handled.
You would never have known about that tweet
if I hadn't been in your apartment last night,
and I would never have been in your apartment if...
Kat, please.
You really cannot be here.
Now turn around and get out of my office.
Okay, he's coming over at 8:00.
I can do this, right?
I mean, if Pinstripe Guy can juggle?
Yes, you are a modern millennial woman.
Yes, I am.
But two guys?
I mean, when I get froyo, I get one topping, one flavor.
I definitely don't do side by side,
and I definitely don't do the swirl
'cause then the flavors, they get all mixed...
Okay, I feel like the analogy could stop there.
The point is I don't do messy,
and that's what this is.
Uh, so I did a thing. Well, hang on.
We're talking about whether or not I can juggle two guys.
Tell her about the froyo. Okay, so...
I went into Richard's office.
What?
Uh, because... he went to Jacqueline
about this thing that I was handling.
I had it under control... You can't go into his office!
I know. I don't even
go into his office! I know.
What did he go to Jacqueline about?
This stupid Kylie Jenner tweet.
You are jeopardizing my relationship and my career
over a Kylie Jenner tweet?
I'm sorry. I got...I got really mad,
and Natalie tweeted out this thing last night...
So yell at Natalie!
I have to call him.
I messed up, didn't I? Yeah.
Oh, my God, Natalie is just... she's just not getting it.
I keep trying to explain things to her, and...
she's just not.
Hey. Hey, sorry
I'm just calling you back.
Haven't had a second. This day.
No, I know. It's...
Richard, I'm so sorry.
I cannot believe she did that. Is everything okay?
Yeah, it's okay now.
But it was...it was bad.
I know.
I...I...I know.
Kat's intense, and she knows she messed up.
She would never do anything intentionally to hurt me.
Hurt you?
Sutton, I know you're worried about
how this would all look for you...
Okay. Thank you, Rachel.
I'll be right there.
I know you're worried how this will look for you,
and, yeah, it won't look good,
but I need you to realize how bad it would be for me.
Do you have any idea what I'd look like,
what this would do to my career?
If this gets out-This can't get out.
I know. I know.
Look, I have to go. We'll talk later.
Okay, bye.
Good night, Jane. Good night.
How's the story coming? Great.
Turns out my friends know me better than I know myself,
'cause I have a second date with their match.
Oh. And he doesn't have
genital piercings.
Actually, that remains to be seen.
God, I miss being 25. No, you do not.
No, I don't. So 20 years, huh?
Not that anyone's counting.
Oh, trust me, everyone is counting.
How do you do it?
That...is simple.
She's smarter than I am,
and I know it and I accept it.
And he is kinder than I am,
and I know that, and I accept that.
And we got lucky
and we met at the right time,
and you're very handsome, and...
Ugh.
And my husband is eternally patient when work intervenes.
I'm sorry, my dear. This is going to take a while.
Jacqueline Carlyle.
Wax play?
Oh, so you're not hungry at all?
I mean, I-I made reservations... Nope.
All right, so you're just gonna...
Okay...mm...
You know what? Okay, oh, all right, um...
What's wrong?
I've never said this to a girl before,
but you think we could talk a little bit?
Slow things down a little?
Eat dinner, then dessert?
There's no rush.
Yeah.
I'm sorry. What?
Nothing. Nothing. Talking...talking is good.
Talking's good.
So...
do you like frozen yogurt?
Frozen yogurt? I love frozen yogurt, yeah.
Do you do a swirl? Swirl?
Run
Run like hell
I'm waiting for this darkness to dispel
Hey. How was your night, Kat?
Um, good. Ask me how my
anniversary dinner with my husband was.
How was your anniversary dinner?
I didn't have an anniversary dinner with my husband
because I had a very long dinner with Kylie Jenner.
It seems somebody screen-grabbed our tweet
before you had a chance to delete it
and then reposted it,
which slightly interfered with our talks
about her upcoming cover.
Okay, what can I do?
Well, I took care of Kylie,
but Natalie...
I've tried cheerleading, hand-holding, tough love.
And?
And I want to be a good boss.
And...
I have to fire her.
All right, I'm gonna take care of it.
I knew you would.
Good morning. Good morning.
So did you see that guy again?
I did. Cool.
Did you see "wax play" girl again?
Do you really want to know that?
I'm just curious from a sociological point of view.
How many women can you juggle at once?
Uh, I've never tried counting. So you've lost track then?
Jane, maybe we should talk,
you know, not in an elevator.
No, it's all good.
Right.
Okay, but if there anything you want to talk about...
Uh, I shouldn't have gone into Richard's office.
It's okay. I mean, it's not, but...
you know that.
Yeah, I know.
Someone's gonna out us.
Hmm? No. I mean, it won't be me.
It'll probably be me or Richard.
It just feels inevitable.
I need that feather bolero jacket from Givenchy.
Givenchy? I got that.
Ooh.
Hey, Michelle, it's Sutton from "Scarlet."
Yeah, we met at high tea.
Uh...yeah, I was that girl.
Listen, Oliver would love to get his hands on the new bolero.
You do?
All right, what do we want for dinner, sushi?
Shh.
I want what they have.
I can't believe I have to fire someone today.
Happy Friday, you're fired.
She says she looks up to me.
To be fair, you did give her a chance.
Yeah, she's just not right for "Scarlet."
That's not your fault. Yeah, you tried.
But she was the first person I ever hired, you know?
I mean, I...I think I was just trying to make it work
even though... I knew it was inevitable.
I know I'm supposed to be this modern millennial
who can multitask everything in her life, but...
I can't do it with guys.
Why is it so terrible to want to just date one person?
I mean, what's wrong with that?
I want love.
There, I said it.
I want to be a better boss lady.
I want this thing with Richard to be less complicated...
and nachos.
Oh. Yeah.
Nachos.
Kat, this is Teresa from HR.
Hi. Hello.
Sometimes letting someone go
can be the best thing for both of you.
Natalie, hi.
Why don't you take a seat?
Well, hello.
Hi.
So...
I can't do the multiple guys thing.
I don't want to. I can only do one.
Okay.
But not with me.
It's just not who you are.
Well, hang on, huh?
Jane, come on, we can-we can talk about it.
There's nothing to talk about.
I don't want to change you, but...
I don't want to change either.
Right.
Well...
it's been fun, Sloan.
Yeah, it has.
Bye.
Okay, I think we're far away enough from the office.
Are you still mad?
No, I'm not mad.
I'm just so...frustrated
with how hard this is.
Me too.
But this...this is good.
When it's just you and me and we're away from everything else?
It's so good.
When I'm with you...
Yeah, I know.
So what are we gonna do?
Just go back to keeping things separate.
We don't talk when we're at work anymore.
We don't...
Know each other's friends,
spend time in each other's lives?
Yeah, I guess that's impossible, isn't it?
It's not impossible, but what kind of a relationship is that?
This isn't gonna work, is it?
I don't want to just walk away from this.
I don't either.
But...
Yeah.
So what are we deciding here?
