The Bold Type season 2 episode 1, titled "Feminist Army," picks up where the season 1 finale left off. Jane is dealing with the aftermath of her decision to write about her experience with a BRCA mutation and her decision to have preventative surgery. She is upset that her article has been heavily edited and wants to use her platform to empower women. Meanwhile, Sutton is attempting to balance her new role as an assistant with her passion for fashion, and Kat is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life now that she has broken up with her girlfriend Adena.
The episode opens with a room full of women, including Jacqueline and Kat, discussing their plans to organize a protest against a misogynistic rapper. They want to use their platform to create change and empower women. Sutton is not interested in participating, as she doesn't think it will help her career in fashion. However, she changes her mind after realizing that she can still make a difference in her own way.
Meanwhile, Jane is trying to write an article about a woman who is incarcerated for defending herself against her abusive husband. She is frustrated by the article's lack of impact and feels like her voice is not being heard. She meets with Jacqueline, who advises her to use her platform to create change in her own way. Jacqueline encourages her to join the Feminist Army and embrace her voice as a writer.
Sutton and Kat both attend the protest, where they are surprised to find that the misogynistic rapper is actually a woman. Kat has a confrontation with the rapper and tells her that her lyrics are harmful to women. The rapper responds by telling Kat that she needs to learn how to take a joke. Sutton, on the other hand, is learning how to balance her career aspirations with her desire to make a difference in the world.
As the episode comes to a close, all three women are grappling with their own personal challenges. Jane is struggling to find her voice as a writer and make a difference in the world. Sutton is trying to balance her job with her passion for activism, and Kat is attempting to figure out what she wants to do with her life now that she has broken up with Adena.
Overall, "Feminist Army" is an empowering and inspiring episode. It shows the power of women coming together to create change and the importance of using one's platform for good. The episode tackles important issues such as misogyny and domestic violence and encourages viewers to take action in their own lives. It is an excellent start to the second season of The Bold Type.
