"The ratio of women to men in this city is huge.
All they have to do is sit outside, have a beer and
wait for the Jessicas and Susans to come to them."
-Miranda
Samantha and Carrie are having trouble getting their
beauty sleep. Samantha is bothered by the late-night
cackling and ranting of the transsexual prostitutes
outside her window, while Carrie is awakened a tad too
early by roosters crowing on a nearby rooftop. Carrie
and Miranda spot Steve and Aidan and their dogs at an
outdoor cafe. They decide they can't avoid interaction
and approach their exes, only to discover they have
new girlfriends. Carrie wonders if maybe everything
isn't the man's fault, if maybe the problem is them.
Carrie gets an even bigger wake-up call when Big rings
her up and asks her to lunch at the Boathouse in Central
Park. Carrie agrees to go and when she confides in Miranda,
the friends have their first big fight. Miranda tells
Carrie that it's a huge mistake to see Big again and
Carrie calls Miranda "judgmental." Miranda,
who feels like she's in a life rut, runs into Steve
at her local Chinese restaurant. They have a nice friendly
exchange, and Steve allays some of Miranda's fears.
Meanwhile, Charlotte, in her new-old single-girl apartment
gets a 4am visit from Trey, who turns on the heat and
manages to keep his Schooner going with Rebecca. After
their sexy session, the couple has a real heart-to-heart
about their marriage, but no decisions are made. Carrie
calls Miranda before she meets Big and the girls make
up. At the Boathouse, Carrie and Big fall into the pond
and go back to Big's place to dry off. Carrie says the
two are like "war buddies." Big hints that
Carrie can stay a while, but Carrie says "It's
a good idea in theory, but somehow it doesn't quite
work." She leaves. After some serious cat-fighting
with the transsexuals, Samantha ends up inviting them,
plus Carrie, Miranda, and Samantha, over for a roof
party. The girls all get down, drink Flirtinis and try
to stop obsessing.
