"Men who are too good looking are never good
in bed because they never had to be." - Carrie
At their weekly breakfast, Samantha tells the girls
that she's back together with Richard. The girls are
shocked and skeptical. Miranda is also shocked when
Steve tells her he'd like baby Brady to be baptized
so he doesn't go to Hell. Carrie relates that she's
finding it difficult to drum up new material for her
weekly sex column now that she's not in a relationship.
But just when she thinks she's going to get fired,
Carrie finds out that a publisher is interested in turning
her past columns into a book. She meets with the two
single female publishers and is at a loss for words
when they ask her to give her readers a message. Is
she an optimist or a pessimist? Carrie wonders: Is hope
a drug we need to go off of or is it keeping us alive?
Even Charlotte needs a little more hope and turns to
a self-help program that touts the power of positive
affirmations. She brings Carrie along to the next lecture
and asks the speaker why her affirmations aren't working.
The speaker tells Charlotte she needs to put her self
out there, but Carrie stands up for her friend and says,
"Believe me, she's out there."
Meanwhile, Miranda agrees to baptize Brady to make
Steve (and his nutty mother) happy. She asks Carrie
to be the godmother but Carrie worries that she's become
too cynical to offer any guidance to Brady. Miranda
will hear nothing of it - Carrie's her best friend.
As the holy water is poured over Brady, Carrie hopes
that it will wash away some of her "sin-icism."
She goes home and decides to dedicate her book to Charlotte
- the eternal optimist.
