"This is going to be like the 'Bridges of Madison
Avenue', a very brief affair I'll write about in sappy
letters to my grandchildren." -Carrie
Samantha throws a self-congratulatory soiree at her
new apartment where she tries to convince the girls
that they have it all -- great friends, good jobs, and
plenty of sex. Carrie tries to play along, but her fling
with Big eats away at her. Deciding she just can't hold
it in anymore, Carrie reveals her scarlet letter to
Samantha in private. Carrie wonders if she's trying
to have it all: the reliable, committed Aidan, and the
wild, exciting Mr. Big. Meanwhile, Samantha, who has
long thought she did have it all, comes down with a
bad case of the flu, and learns all the men in her life
are unwilling to take care of her when she needs them.
On the Charlotte front, Trey lays down a pre-nuptial
agreement which has Charlotte worth a measly half a
mill. On Miranda's advice, Charlotte plays hardball
with Trey's mother Bunny and successfully negotiates
for a million. Meanwhile Miranda meets her first man
post-Steve. George is a cute yuppie from out of town
who turns Miranda onto the wonders of phone sex. But
Miranda becomes suspicious of George's dexterity over
the phone and dumps him when she realizes he's phone-sexing
other women too. Carrie knows all about playing on more
than one field too. While Aidan is away on a business
trip, she hooks up with Big in her apartment again.
He tells Carrie he's leaving Natasha, but Carrie tells
him not to. When Aidan returns, he sense something is
up with Carrie and asks if she's been cheating -- on
her pledge to quit smoking. Carrie confesses she's been
cheating, and reaffirms her vow to quit.
