On the series finale of The Bold Type, Jane turns down Jacqueline’s offer of editor in chief because she doesn’t want to give up writing. Sutton and Richard get back together. Kat and Adena get back together and Kat takes the job of editor in chief. Jane announces that she’s leaving.
Perfect person: I’d like to take back everything I said last week about Jane and the editor in chief position. Yes, she would’ve done well, but she probably wouldn’t have been happy in the long run. I was right when I said that it would cut back on her writing and that she probably hadn’t realized that. I do think that was the major dealbreaker in this situation. She could’ve lived with the rest (pressure, long hours) but Jane is a writer though and through. Kat, on the other hand, is a born leader and I can’t believe I didn’t see earlier how perfect she’d be for this job. If I’m not mistaken, she was already in charge of people back in season one. It sucks that we won’t actually get to see her on the job. Did anyone else tear up when Jacqueline offered it to her? I was so proud to see her excel this week. And I’m very happy to see her and Adena back together.
