"You can't be friends with a squirrel! A squirrel
is just a rat with a cuter outfit." - Carrie
Miranda finds out from Aidan that Steve has testicular
Cancer. She has lunch with Steve and screams at him
for being so nonchalant about his cancer, causing him
to break down and cry. Carrie prepares for a trip to
Aidan's country cabin in Suffern, NY with a true city
girl's trepidation. She tells the girls she's going
because Aidan loves the country. Charlotte understands,
adding that she's going to Bunny's Connecticut house
to please Trey.
When Carrie gets to Aidan's extra rustic cabin, she
immediately laments not being in the city. She realizes
that relationships are inevitably a series of compromises
and asks: When does the art of compromise become compromising?
Unable to stand it anymore, Carrie returns to New York
and goes out for a steak with Big. Big tells her he's
dating a movie star and that he might be in love. Carrie
decides to go back to Aidan's and recruits Samantha
to provide some entertainment. Samantha has a hard time
in the great outdoors until she spots a hunky farmer.
She approaches "Young McDonald" to borrow
some milk and gets a lesson in how to milk a cow and
then some. Carrie tries to embrace the country and gets
to work on baking Aidan a pie. But when a squirrel scares
her, she drops the piecrust and admits to Aidan that
she hates the house.
Over in Connecticut, Charlotte is busily monitoring
her fertility. Looking for Trey, she walks in on him
taking a bath with his mother sitting nearby. She's
disturbed but when her ovulation beeper goes off, she
and Trey get to work in Bunny's prized orchid greenhouse.
Back in the city, Miranda invites Steve over for take-out
Chinese but her pitying behavior pisses off Steve. Still,
he thanks her for being a bitch the other day because
it motivated him to see a good doctor and schedule surgery.
Miranda is by Steve's side when he awakes after his
operation.
Carrie goes home after compromising with Aidan. He'll
install A/C and she'll brave the bugs and dirt every
now and then.
