Every day, millions of people suffer from monogamy.
There is no known cure. -Carrie
Carrie is feeling pressured by Aidan - and society
at large - to plan her wedding. She admits to Miranda
that she isn't exactly feeling like a blushing bride.
Miranda confesses that she isn't exactly glowing over
her pregnancy. She tells Carrie that she "faked"
her sonogram - feigning joy when she found out she was
having a boy. Miranda convinces Carrie to go try on
some bad wedding dresses. In her gown, Carrie starts
to panic and has Miranda rip the dress off of her. At
the coffee shop, Carrie asks the girls why she has to
get married when things are great as they are. She wonders:
Do we really want these things or are we just programmed?
Carrie tries to get in a marital mood with a stack
of bridal magazines but she freaks out as Aidan smashes
through the wall between the apartments. She tells him
that she doesn't think she's ready to get married yet.
Charlotte, on the other hand, attempts to get over her
divorce with some tap lessons, but ends up "tapping"
into her pain.
Meanwhile, Samantha learns that Richard has been seen
about town with another woman. At Richard's charity
fundraiser, J.J., a gossip columnist, shows Samantha
yet another of Richard's conquests. Samantha is shocked
at how upset she is. Enraged, she confronts Richard
and tells him to stop sleeping around. He says he's
just not the monogamous type. Samantha walks away and
grabs J.J. for some sexual revenge but he goes soft
on her. When Richard sees J.J. follow Samantha out of
the bathroom he says, "Let's just keep things the
way they are."
After the fundraiser, Aidan tells Carrie that he wants
them to get married that night. He doesn't understand
what they're waiting for. Carrie realizes that he still
doesn't completely trust her. She insists that she is
his but Aidan protests: "If you don't want to marry
me right now, you'll never want to." Carrie doesn't
know how to respond. Devastated, Aidan says, "I
can't believe I'm back here again." Back home,
they spend their one and only night together on the
other side of the wall.
On the other side of town, Miranda has her first true
maternal moment when she feels her baby kick.
