"I will literally be the old woman who lived
in her shoes." - Carrie
Unable to say goodbye, Carrie turns away as Aidan moves
out of her apartment and her life. She finds what she
assumes is a "goodbye letter"; in fact, it's
a legal document giving her 30 days to either buy back
her apartment or vacate it. At the bank, she's told
that she's not a "desirable candidate" for
a loan. After another failed relationship, she wonders:
What's it all worth?
On a shoe-shopping excursion with Miranda, Carrie realizes
she's spent $40,000 on shoes. In dire straits, she pays
Big an official visit and asks for some financial advice.
He gives her a check for the down payment. Miranda and
Samantha also offer to loan her some money, but Carrie
says she can't accept their offer. She rips up the check
from Big. Charlotte announces that she got a job as
a volunteer docent at the Museum of Modern Art.
Later, Carrie storms over to Charlotte's apartment
and asks her why she didn't offer her the money. Charlotte
says it's not her job to fix Carrie's finances. Carrie
is outraged at Charlotte's lack of support, especially
since Charlotte doesn't even have to work. She also
remarks that Charlotte isn't exactly the picture of
independence as she's still wearing her engagement ring.
Meanwhile, Samantha is being showered with expensive
gifts from Richard, but she's under-whelmed by the cards
which are signed "Best, Richard." She finds
out that it's Richard's gay assistant Roger who's been
buying the presents - and writing the cards. She gets
Roger to sign the next gift card, "Love, Richard."
When she reads the card aloud to Richard, he looks stunned
and then declares, "I love you, Samantha."
To which Sam replies, "And I love this," pointing
to her gift.
Steve and Miranda are working out a visitation schedule
for the baby. Miranda tells Steve that she's incredibly
horny and feels like no one would want to have sex with
her pregnant self. Steve says he would and they get
to work.
Carrie and Charlotte apologize to each other. Charlotte
admits that she is having trouble giving up being "Mrs.
Trey McDougal." So, to free herself of her past
and give Carrie a future (and home), she offers Carrie
her ring as a loan. Carrie accepts.
