"We're not barren, we're reproductively challenged."
- Charlotte
Carrie finds out that her building is going co-op and
she has to move. Aidan offers to buy her apartment and
move in with her. Carrie finds herself both tempted
and scared about the idea of sharing her space on a
permanent basis. She's even more alarmed when while
rummaging through Aidan's clothes she lands upon an
engagement ring. It's creates such an internal upheaval,
she runs to the kitchen sink and vomits. Carrie tells
the girls about her reaction and voices her fears that
it's too fast and that to boot, the ring is not at all
her style. Miranda admits that she had helped Aidan
select the ring. Carrie nervously waits for Aidan to
pop the question and wonders: How do you know when it's
right?
Meanwhile, Samantha has a drink with her new client,
Richard Wright. He proudly tells her that he enjoys
sleeping around and is not at all interested in marriage,
piquing single-girl Samantha's interest. Their next
encounter finds them in Richard's private jet headed
for the mile-high club.
Miranda tells Steve that she's carrying his baby and
is going to keep it. Steve is shocked, especially when
Miranda tells him she's going to take care of the baby
herself. Meanwhile, fertility challenged Charlotte starts
taking hormones and learning Chinese in case they need
to adopt a Mandarin baby.
Carrie runs into Big and tells him that Aidan wants
to marry her. Big tells her that Aidan's not the man
for her and that she's not the marrying kind. Carrie
replies that she's just not ready.
At the annual Highland Fling, Bunny tells Charlotte
that a Mandarin child is out of the question for the
MacDougal clan. Charlotte screams at Trey and rushes
home. Later, when Charlotte asks Trey for her hormone
injection, Trey admits that he is having second thoughts
about having a baby. He says he doesn't want to try
anymore and wants it to be just the two of them.
Aidan proposes to Carrie as they take Pete for his
nightly walk. The ring he gives her isn't the one Carrie
had spotted; it's beautiful. After Aidan tells her he
wants to spend the rest of his life with her, Carrie
takes a deep breath and says yes.
Across town, Miranda opens her door to Steve who is
holding out an engagement ring. Miranda tells him he's
crazy and they both agree they don't want to marry each
other. They decide they'll figure things out.
Carrie tells Samantha she's engaged and shows off her
ring. Samantha orders them a drink and tells her that
she picked the ring out with Aidan.
