"If it's so hard to get pregnant, how do you
account for the number of crying children on planes?"
- Samantha
Miranda tells Carrie that she's pregnant from having
unprotected sex with Steve and his one ball. Miranda
doesn't want the baby and doesn't want to tell Steve.
Charlotte, however, can't seem to get pregnant no matter
what bedroom techniques she tries. When she finds out
that Miranda is pregnant and is going to have an abortion,
she's so upset she storms away. Carrie and Samantha
admit that they've both had abortions - Carrie after
a one-night stand with a waiter in the '80s. Carrie
tells Aidan about Miranda and swears him to secrecy.
Aidan is appalled that Miranda isn't going to tell Steve.
Carrie lies to Aidan about having had an abortion herself.
Samantha has lunch with Lucy Liu, hoping to represent
her. They hit it off and Lucy tells Samantha that she
refuses to be lied to. Samantha also has her eye on
the coveted Hermes red "Birkin" handbag. Unfortunately,
there's an eternally long waiting list, so Samantha
uses Lucy Liu's starpower to score a bag. When Lucy
shows up at their next lunch carrying the "free"
bag, Samantha tells her it's actually for herself. Lucy
is furious, fires Samantha and walks off with the bag.
Charlotte sees a fertility doctor and finds out that
she has only a 15 percent chance of conceiving naturally.
She bumps into Miranda on the street, tells her the
news and walks away from the unhappily pregnant Miranda.
Carrie accompanies Miranda to have her abortion. While
they're waiting Miranda becomes increasingly worried
that she's not making the right decision. She wonders
if this is her only chance to have a baby. She decides
to keep the baby and the girls, including Charlotte,
gather around her and support her decision.
Carrie returns to the restaurant where she had met
Chad, the waiter who had gotten her pregnant years ago.
He's still there and doesn't remember Carrie. She realizes
she made the right decision and leaves. Carrie decides
to be honest and admits to Aidan that she had an abortion
when she was 22. She was worried that he would criticize
her, but Aidan is non-judgemental.
