“#’The Bold Type’ Series<\/a> Finale Is an Emotional Triumph<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Welcome to our weekly column<\/em><\/strong> Can\u2019t Miss Episode of the Week<\/strong>! Every Saturday we\u2019ll be spotlighting a different episode of television from that week that we thought was exceptional and a must-see. Check back to see if your favorite show got the nod \u2014 or to learn about a new one!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Emergency meeting in the fashion closet! Freeform\u2019s beloved drama The Bold Type<\/a>,<\/em> about three female best friends trying to make it in the New York media<\/a> scene, and specifically at the fictional Scarlet Magazine<\/em>, has come to a close, and it gave us all of the feels. The series finale, which aired Wednesday night, wrapp<\/a>ed up a rather off-putting, shortened final season by correcting a lot of wrongs, and being completely on point emotionally.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not sure at which point you teared up, but you probably did right? The episode has many moving scenes, including when Richard (Samuel Page<\/a>) and Sutton (Meghann Fahy<\/a>) get back together. Driving this fan-favorite couple apart was not one of the show\u2019s better decisions. Thankfully, the reunion could not be sweeter, with Sutton reading aloud to Richard the love letter she wrote for him, and him responding by asking her if she would \u201cnot divorce\u201d him,\u201d marriage proposal style.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not the only couple getting a happy ending this episode, with Kat (Aisha Dee<\/a>) and Adena (Nikhol Boosheri) deciding to commit to each other for good. It\u2019s been a little tiring watching these two breakup so many times, so it\u2019s a relief to hear Kat admit that Adena\u2019s \u201cher person,\u201d and she\u2019s going to stop sabotaging their relationship. But that\u2019s not even the thing we\u2019re most excited about with Kat (more on that in a moment).<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s any storyline that really wasn\u2019t working this season, it\u2019s been Jane (Katie Stevens<\/a>) being offered the editor-in-chief job. It\u2019s bad enough that Jane\u2019s clearly so unqualified for this position, and adding a subplot about how Jane\u2019s such a bad manager is an even bigger disconnect. In one of the episode\u2019s more self-aware moments, Jane admits that she\u2019s not really managing material. Jane\u2019s a writer, and it\u2019s good to see her reconnect with her roots.<\/p>\n

This brings us back to Kat. After giving Jane a lot<\/em> of help with her pitch to the board, Jane and current editor-in-chief Jacqueline (Melora Hardin<\/a>) realize that the perfect person for the job has been standing in front of them all this time. Kat\u2019s still extraordinarily young for the job (what can I say, this is a TV fantasy land that\u2019s not meant to be realistic), but she\u2019s certainly more qualified than Jane. Even more so, Kat being a queer black woman in the top job is monumental. Again, this episode is surprisingly self-aware, and Jacqueline admits that she only chose Jane for the position because Jane reminds her of herself. Kat is the more progressive choice to take the publication in the direction that it needs to go, and after being stuck in that bartending job for far too long, we\u2019re thrilled to see her get her flowers.<\/p>\n

Sure, there are plenty of things that don\u2019t make the most sense in this episode (Since when is Jane so interested in travel<\/a>, and why is she abandoning her vertical? Why is Oliver getting back together with his atrocious ex? Are Sutton and Richard really just going to kick the can down the road in terms of whether they\u2019re going to have kids?), but it very smartly invests in pulling on our heartstrings with these characters we\u2019ve loved so much, right down to that one last meeting in the sacred fashion closet.<\/p>\n
