Outnumbered Sibling is being disambiguated.


* OutnumberedSibling: Jane grew up with three brothers. One reason she loves ''Scarlet'' so much is that it served as the older sister she never had.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** More than once, one of the girls will make a big change based on a whim and get chewed out by Jacqueline for it as magazines require a lot of prep work without a last-minute change.
** The fourth season addresses the realities of the publishing industry in the 2020s with ''Scarlett'' forced to become a digital magazine rather than print.
** Love, though incredibly important, sometimes isn't enough on its own. [[spoiler:This is the case when Sutton and Richard find that they simply want different things for their family.]]

* CharacterShilling: Jane. While some shilling is to be expected, as she is loosely based on real-life ''Cosmopolitan'' Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles, whose career inspired the show, the show keeps insisting that she's a brilliant young writer while never actually showing most of her writing. Later seasons also push the notion that she will become the new Editor-in-Chief at ''Scarlet'', but when she's given her own bullpen to lead, she fails so badly at management that one of the writers quits and the other writer complains that Jane is ignoring her. The nadir is probably "Day Trippers", in which Jacqueline formally announces her plans to make Jane her successor - after an episode in which Jane not only ignores Jacqueline's orders to take a day off to deal with her obvious stress, but instead shows up to work high as a kite.

* EverybodyMustGetStoned: In "Day Trippers," the girls try to spark their creativity by "micro-dosing" on mushrooms. Then each one decides to add "just a dash" more powder to it which leads to all three showing up for their jobs high as hell.
