"Does a string of bad dates really equal one
good one?" -Carrie
Increasingly depressed by Trey's lack of libido, Charlotte
finds some relief when she stumbles into the studly
sweaty gardener at the McDougal country house. Carrie's
guilty conscience takes a beating when she's rudely
snubbed by Natasha in a restaurant. To top things off,
Carrie gets mugged, losing her favorite pair of Manolo
Blahniks. Carrie wonders if it isn't all karma. Detective
Stevens handles Carrie's case but when Miranda shows
up at the police station, the good-looking detective
focuses all his attentions on Miranda. Meanwhile, Samantha
tells Carrie that Natasha has left Big, causing Carrie
to feel even more guilty and more determined to apologize
to Natasha for wrecking their marriage. Samantha drags
Carrie to a party given by a certain "Sam Jones"
-- only to find out it's a dorm party and this "Sam
Jones" is a college-aged virgin lad. Sam Jones
falls hard for the more experienced Samantha and before
Samantha knows it, she has made Sam a real man. Unfortunately,
the enamored Sam becomes completely obsessed with Samantha,
ultimately causing her to change her phone number. Back
in the suburbs, on Charlotte's second encounter with
the gardener, the two share a secret kiss, unaware that
Charlotte's sister-in-law witnessed the embrace. Later
that evening, the sister-in-law spills the beans to
the whole McDougal clan. Trey says it's acceptable for
the two of them to lead separate lives while being married.
Outraged, Charlotte says they should separate for a
while and Trey responds, "Alrighty." Miranda,
nervous that she isn't good-looking enough for her detective
date, gets drunker and drunker as the night goes on.
She seduces the detective back in her apartment, but
when she wakes up the next morning, she finds a note
recommending she call her local AA. Carrie finally tracks
down Natasha in a restaurant and expresses how deeply
sorry she is about what she did. Natasha tells Carrie
that not only has she ruined her marriage, she's now
ruined her lunch. Charlotte returns to the city and
to her old apartment as a single woman.
