"People go to casinos for the same reason they
go on blind dates - hoping to hit the jackpot. But mostly,
you just wind up broke or alone in a bar." -Carrie
Charlotte's turning 36, but plans on staying 35 as
far as anyone else is concerned. To celebrate Charlotte's
"faux" birthday, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte
join Samantha on her latest private jet trip with Richard.
Destination: Atlantic City. Carrie is determined to
spend some quality time gambling with her girlfriends,
but finds that isn't so easy. Miranda wants to catch
up on her sleep and read The New Yorker, and Samantha
is busy keeping an eye on Richard's every move. Meanwhile,
Charlotte is increasingly fearful that she's become
an old maid. She gives herself an Atlantic City style
makeover and stuns the girls with her new racy, red
lipstick look.
Carrie realizes people go to casinos for the same reason
they go on blind dates - hoping to hit the jackpot.
But she wonders: If we know the house always wins, why
gamble?
As she watches the chesty casino ladies show off their
assets to Richard, Samantha's suspicions become unbearable.
She tells Richard that she loves him but she loves herself
more. She leaves behind the mega diamond ring and the
pearl thong he just gave her and walks out the door.
With her new look, Charlotte is ready to meet some men
but Carrie's feeling cynical and doesn't see the point.
Sitting on the boardwalk and watching a happy couple
taking in the sunset, Carrie realizes that she's hiding
in her friends and that perhaps there are things worth
gambling on.
