"Sex with an ex can be depressing. If it's good,
you don't have it anymore; if it's bad, you just had
sex with an ex." -Samantha
It's autumn in New York and Carrie's yearning for some
company. She invites herself over to Big's apartment,
finding it filled with shipping boxes. Big tells her
that he's moving to Napa, California where he bought
a vineyard. Dazed and confused, Carrie joins him in
a glass of wine and a slow dance to Big's parents' favorite
song, "Moon River." Samantha is also feeling
abandoned as Richard is late for their rendezvous. Although
she's suspicious of his excuses, she gives him a token
of love: a framed picture of hearts.
At the girls' next get-together, Carrie breaks the
news about Big's impending departure and wonders if
she should sleep with him one last time. Samantha tells
the girls that she's a 'love-a-holic' and is worried
as she's sure relationships never work. Carrie starts
thinking about fate and wonders: Can you make a mistake
and miss your fate?
Meanwhile, while leading a tour at the Museum of Modern
Art, Charlotte is asked out by one of the visitors.
At first she's resistant but when she spots Trey and
Bunny wandering through the museum, she says yes to
the potential date, Eric.
Samantha is increasingly concerned about her 'relationship'
as Richard isn't reacting to her sexual advances. She
asks him if he's sleeping with another woman and he
denies it. She decides to spy on him.
Charlotte's date with Eric is going well. Both recent
divorcees, they seem to have a lot in common. However,
when he sees her luxurious Park Avenue abode, he goes
on a rampage about her being a 'rich girl.' She shows
him the door and gets rid of him quick.
Carrie gets all glammed up for her last night with
Big. In a carriage ride through Central Park, Big tells
her he'll miss her very much. They start to kiss but
are interrupted by a call from Miranda who's in labor.
The horses pick up their gait and Carrie dismounts at
the hospital. Big gives her his classic wink goodbye.
Carrie keeps Miranda sane as she gives birth to a healthy
baby boy. Miranda tells an exuberant Steve that she
wants to name their child, Brady, Brady Hobbes. Samantha's
in a different kind of labor of love as she follows
Richard incognito in a wig and dark glasses. She catches
him in bed with another woman and proceeds to smash
the heart painting she had given him.
Carrie rushes off to try to catch Big before his plane
takes off, but it's too late. In the apartment she finds
the 'Moon River' record with a note reading "If
you ever feel lonely" and a plane ticket to Napa
with a note reading, "If I ever feel lonely."
