On this week’s existence of the wealthy and richer, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) heads south with Seema (Sarita Choudhury) for lunch with Aiden (John Corbin), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) finds her wild facet, Harry (Evan Goldenblatt) discovers why button fly pants are a torture machine, Miranda (Cynthia Dixon) continues to flirt with Pleasure (Dolly Wells), Anthony (Mario Cantone) calls within the massive weapons to save lots of his Sizzling Fella’s retailer, and everybody appears to be hiding their true motives.
Let’s begin at the start.
Carrie shares together with her agent, Amanda (Ashlie Atkinson), that she is engaged on a novel that nobody will need to learn, and Amanda is hoping it is fantasy-related. Intercourse and the Cauldron—that is the guide I’d learn. Amanda additionally has talking engagements for Carrie: Google, SXSW, and a memoirist panel in Williamsburg, Virginia, and, similar to that, Carrie is planning to go to Aiden.
Anthony’s new retailer looks like a bust with solely our women as prospects (hey, method to get the group collectively to allow them to touch upon one another’s lives). Miranda is snarky about Carrie’s plan to go to Aiden in Virginia. I want she was somewhat self-deprecating about transferring throughout the nation to be with Che, nevertheless it looks like we’re pretending that did not occur.
Kathy (in Carrie’s telephone as Aiden’s spouse) calls Carrie to ask her to safe some Adderall for Wyatt. Charlotte takes management of the state of affairs, scores the medication, and appears like a complete badass within the course of. The entire alternate is odd. Not the Adderall scarcity, however why would Kathy ask Carrie? Why is not Aiden asking Carrie? Crimson flag…
For the primary time, I am mad at Lisa Todd Wexler. Her long-time editor, Grace (Quincy Tyler Bernstine), is obtainable a job with movie director Steve McQueen, and he or she desires Lisa to be completely satisfied for her. However all Lisa can see is that Grace is abandoning the mission. Lisa sulks and pouts till Herbert (Chris Jackson) reminds her that Grace has waited via Lisa’s pregnancies to complete this mission.

Charlotte has a depraved case of FOMO and is persuaded by her workmates to affix them for his or her after, after, after events and Harry (Evan Handler) desires to affix her. Love that Harry desires to affix Charlotte for this journey.
In one other try and make the opposite characters related, Carrie takes Harry buying to make him presentable for Charlotte’s evening out. Harry and Carrie buy groceries! Harry pours himself into fashionable button-fly denims, and also you simply know they’re going to be a callback.
Giuseppe (Sebastiano Pigazzi) does not need to put on the Sizzling Fella’s uniform; he is executed his time, however for love, he places on the uniform and, just like the Pied Piper, leads a gaggle into the bakery.
Seema is devastated that her long-term plan of shopping for out her enterprise companion has been upended by Elliot’s (John Glover) announcement that he is retiring. He is 90! Elliot is promoting his shares to Ryan Serhant (an precise actual property mogul and star of Million Greenback Itemizing), and by the look on Seema’s face, we are supposed to hate him. This prompts Seema to flee with Carrie to Virginia.
It is a good little bit of symmetry that Miranda will watch Shoe whereas Carrie’s out of city. I could not assist however surprise, what occurred to Fatty? As Carrie is prepping Shoe’s cat apartment, she and Miranda even have an actual second. Carrie shares her plan to present Aiden a key to the condo, and Miranda shares that she goes to ask Pleasure for some on-air suggestions. They each acknowledge that they’re enjoying video games, however Carrie tells Miranda that is onerous for her and that it is good to see an actual second between them.

On the street and looking for actual fried rooster, Carrie and Seema tackle Virginia. Seema is making an attempt to consider her subsequent skilled step, and Carrie is making an attempt to be breezy. Denied rooster at a flowery restaurant, Seema brings a bucket of KFC to Carrie’s resort room. Name again to the unique sequence the place Aiden tells Carrie that KFC in mattress is his superb evening in. They each give one another some good recommendation, “if you don’t ask, you don’t get.”
Charlotte is holding court docket on the after-party and is a success together with her co-workers and a potential shopper. It is good to see her taking cost, and her dancing drunk is paying homage to the episode The place’s There’s Smoke, the place Charlotte lip-synched to Physician’s Orders. Harry is unable to get his denims off in time and finally ends up peeing his pans, however encourages Charlotte to remain out together with her colleagues.
It is about this time within the episode the place I am now not hate watching. I am mourning for what this present may have been; an trustworthy have a look at what it means to be a lady after 50 who does not need to be handed over or assigned an archetype like put-upon mother, or unhappy spinster. They are often robust, horny, decided, and self-aware.
Subsequent week brings Carrie on the farm and, I am positive, some drama with Kathy and Aiden.
Are the callbacks delightfully nostalgic or compelled? Is the present getting higher, or am I decreasing my expectations?
