"Who would have thought an island that tiny would
be big enough to hold all our old boyfriends?"
-Miranda
Carrie and her posse venture across the river to Staten
Island for the New York City Fire Department's "Calendar
Contest." It's not long before Samantha locks eyes
with her dream hunk, Ricky, and even less time before
she finds out just how hot he is. But on a surprise
visit to the firehouse, Samantha's red-hot fantasy is
shattered when she encounters a back room of average
men eating popcorn in front of the TV and even worse,
when her romp with Ricky is cut short by a real fire,
leaving her naked and aghast. Meanwhile, Bill Kelley,
an older local politician, makes the moves on Carrie,
but doesn't get very far. Drunk on the ferry ride home,
Charlotte declares that this is the year she will get
married. Rehashing the night over brunch, Charlotte
blurts out that the reason firemen are so hot is because
they fulfill women's fantasy of being rescued. But Miranda
refuses to be rescued, and when her doctor says she
needs someone to take her home after her laser vision
surgery, she tries to manage on her own. Steve insists,
showing Miranda that being rescued isn't always a sign
of weakness. Charlotte goes on a date with Arthur, her
latest prince charming. But after Arthur gets into a
few fist fights, Charlotte realizes he's a bully, not
a prince. Politician Bill campaigns for Carrie's attention,
and eventually she gives in to a coat room kiss, but
not more...
