and so much is changing,
but fashion has always been my constant.
And then when I realized we were supporting a brand
that was bad, I just--
I kind of felt even more lost, you know?
- Um, we're reconsidering our ties to Villadar.
- Really?
- Really. - Oh, my God, that's amazing.
- But I am also reconsidering this hands-off approach
that I've had with you.
- What do you mean?
- The drinking at work.
- Oliver, it was a glass. - And the retreat.
You don't think I know what really happened, do you?
You were bombed.
Why do you think I was calling yesterday
to check on Carly and Jasper?
- Because you miss being with them.
- I was also calling to check on him,
make sure a glass of wine at lunch doesn't turn into six.
Yes, Jasper is doing better
and maybe I shouldn't worry about him, but I still do.
I know how dangerous substance abuse can be.
And I think that you know better than anybody else
how much it hurts
to watch someone that you love have to go through that.
So I was worried about him,
and I'm worried about you.

- Darby. - Kat.
Great work. Management loved "The Cut" article.
- Cool.
- Obviously, you can keep your job.
- Yeah, I was actually wondering if you had a moment
to talk about that.
- Of course. What's going on?
- So, listen, I really appreciate you.
And, I mean, this place has given me stability
at a time when I really needed it.
But I think #DontTurnAway has potential to be really big
and create change in a sustainable way.
And in order to really do that, I think I need to commit to it,
full-time.
So this is my notice.
And don't worry, I already covered my shifts
for the next two weeks.
- I'm sorry to see you go.
- Oh, you're not just really happy to get rid of me?
- The woman who got The Belle to change their policy
on hiring the formerly incarcerated?
- Wait, wait, really? - Yeah.
I'll miss her. Good luck, Kat.

- Addison struggled with the story at first.
She didn't want to write it.
- But you helped her. - Well, I just was honest
about struggles I was facing and encouraged her
to open up about her own and use that to fuel the story.
She's the one who chose to write it as a personal letter.
- Dear Marjorie Taylor Greene. It's really terrific.
How does Addison feel? - Happy.
Yeah, she actually just turned down another job offer
to stay at "Scarlet."
- Wow, you had a big day yesterday.
This is not easy to mentor young writers,
and you really stepped up, Jane.
You ready to do it again?
- Yeah, sure. - Good.
Because I am going on vacation on the 18th, and when I do,
I need you to be fully prepared to do everything I do here.

- Oh, my God. Jacqueline.
[laughs]
- Everything that Jacqueline does?
What does that even mean?
- I don't know. But it's a lot, right?
- Dude, it means that they're grooming you
to take over "Scarlet" Magazine, Jane.
- I know. It's--it's all happening.
And you know what else is happening?
These shots. - Hey, I'm down.
You want to know why I'm down? - Why?
- 'Cause I don't have a job. - Hey.
- But you know what I do have? - What?
- I have a mission, and I am okay with that.
- There you go.
- You know what, I'm actually going to hold off, okay?
- No, that doesn't work for me.
See, technically I am your boss, so I say you drink.
- Do we drink too much? - Us?
- [laughs] - No.
Who's out here drinking "three drinks a week?"
No one. No one. We drink the correct amount.
- Yes, cheers. - Cheers.
- Do I drink too much?
- What's going on, boo?
- I just--
well, Oliver said some things to me today that scared me.
- What?
- That I remind him of Jasper when he had a problem.
- Oh, honey. - I mean, look, the truth is,
I've been drinking more since Richard and I separated.
I just sort of felt like it was a reasonable way to cope.
But I don't know, with my family and my mom,
I mean, do you guys think it's problem?
- I mean, we're your best friends,
so I don't think
that we're really capable of answering that question.
- Yeah, I--
- Well, I wish that somebody would because I'd like to know.
- Well, have you ever been in therapy?
- No.
- Well, I mean, your life has been
a lot lately, you know?
Your decision not to have kids, getting divorced,
and your mom falling off the wagon.
- Yes, very extra. - Yeah.
- So maybe it would be a good idea
to talk to a therapist-- and a real therapist, not us.
- Yeah, listen to the shroompa. She is wise.
- Okay. I'll try therapy. - I think that's smart.
And I know that we are supposed to be celebrating
the biggest night of my career, but in honor of you, no shots.
- Wow, you really do love me. - We do.
- So much. - [laughs]
- Maybe some tea though?
- Jane. - Should we get to brewing?
- Queen of psychedelics.
Hey, will you pour those back in the bottle?
Just, we don't want to waste it.
