Tearing Down The Donut Wall is the fifth episode of season 4 of The Bold Type. This episode starts off with Kat and Ava preparing for their very first photoshoot together. Kat is determined to make it a success and gets the support of her friends Jane and Sutton. Jane, on the other hand, has her own struggles to handle as she faces criticism from her colleagues for her writing about the #MeToo movement.

Meanwhile, Sutton is trying to balance her relationship with Richard and her career as a fashion designer. She takes a risk at work, presenting a new design that she feels confident about, but her idea is not well-received by her boss. She must decide whether to back down or continue to fight for her vision.

Throughout the episode, the three friends continue to support each other through their individual battles. They attend a speech together by a powerful feminist speaker and use the experience to inspire themselves to break down the barriers in their own lives.

As the episode progresses, tensions rise between Kat and Ava during their photoshoot. While Ava tries to make Kat conform to a specific look, Kat fights for the freedom to express herself. While navigating this conflict, the two women bond over their shared experiences as women of color in a white-dominant industry.

In the middle of the photoshoot, a donut wall is brought in as a prop. The girls indulge in the sweet treat, yet feel conflicted about the symbolism of such a display. Their conversation turns into a discussion about the politics of food and the damaging effect that diet culture has on women.

Towards the end of the episode, Jane is given an ultimatum by her boss to either change the angle of her story or risk losing her job. She must decide whether to compromise her ethics or stand up for what she believes in. This decision will have ripple effects on her life, career, and relationships.

Overall, Tearing Down The Donut Wall is a powerful episode that delves into issues faced by women in the workplace, media, and society. The Bold Type continues to tackle complex themes with authenticity and nuance, making it a must-watch for any fan of feminist television.
