The Bold Type season 4 episode 10 review: Always and forever

The Spring finale of The Bold Type was filled with big decisions and major moves. Still, some things will just never change.

Shall we take a big, collective group sigh of relief? Inhale…and 3, 2, 1…

Breathe easy, the Bold Type writers are not breaking up our OT3. Sutton is staying in New York, where she belongs. And breathe easier, because this doesn’t mean the end of Suttard. In fact, they got the happiest ending of anyone in the season four spring finale.

Although, things did get a little dicey there for a minute. First, it looked like Sutton wouldn’t even find out that she had earned her dream job. Poor Oliver didn’t have the heart to complicate her decision.

Luckily, Jacqueline always saves the day – when she can – and gave him the “you’re her boss first” talk. And with that, we got to see Oliver in Jane’s apartment, not-so-subtly judging it, as Oliver would.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. It’s moments like these where The Bold Type truly shines. These little moments show off not only the realistic relationships of the characters, but the undeniable chemistry between every actor in this cast.

But there’s nothing quite like the bond between Sutton and Oliver. And that’s why it hurts that much more when she turns down the stylist position. You have to admire her commitment to her, well, commitment. But girl, this is your dream job calling!

Credit where it’s due, no one pushed Sutton on this. Oliver, Kat and Jane all stood by and supported her. It wasn’t until a pre-wedding limo chat with Babs – who’s rocking a fabulous new pixie cut – that Sutton fully appreciated the gravity of the situation.

And with that, it was off to the races. Sutton found Richard before the ceremony, and gave him the low-down on everything that had happened. As scary as it was to see him run off, you have to admit it was realistic.

No part of me really believed Richard wouldn’t support Sutton in her choice to go after this, but it’d have been a bit far-fetched for him to not freak out at least a little bit. Richard is cool, but he’s not that cool.

Plus, it provided the perfect opportunity for Jacquline to once again save the day. A powerful woman telling a man that he’s marrying another powerful woman, who’s telling him exactly what she wants and that he should be grateful for that? We love to see it.

That same man then walking down the aisle to marry his soulmate, and telling her he’s not worried? We. Love. To. See. It.

It was, in truth, a beautiful wedding. Not for nothing though, no wedding photographer would be shooting with a single camera and no flash. Perhaps they were going for subtle, more real photos but Adena. You’re a pro.

Of course, she did have a lot on her mind. After all, she sat next to Kat through Sutton and Richard’s vows about “takings risks that make each other proud,” was a bit too timely.

And, as expected, Kat decided to release RJ’s tax returns, consequences be damned. Adena wanted to do it with her, but Kat wants to fight this battle on her own. And it’s going to be quite the showdown.

RJ’s daughter is clearly not to be trifled with – but what was that moment between her and Kat in the final minutes of the episode? There was something that wasn’t quite hostility there, but it was…something.

We’ll just have to wait until the Summer to see what’s next for Kat.

On the contrary, the events of Jane’s night were pretty final. While Kat and Adena latched onto the risk-taking portion of the vows, Jane was naturally hit but the trust portion. Knowing that she could never fully trust Ryan again, Jane officially ended things with him.

It wasn’t because she wanted it to end, but because it had to do so, for her own mental and emotional health. It hurt to watch, especially for her end of things, and Katie Stevens once again delivered a beautiful performance.

But at the end of the day, The Bold Type isn’t about the romantic relationships. It’s about the friendship between Jane, Kat and Sutton, and that’s what the writers brought it back to.

Standing in the hospital, saying goodbye to Jane’s boobs, I’ve never loved our girls more.

Until summer arrives –  stay safe and stay home friends!
