"Some of the best sex I've had is with people
I can't stand!" - Anthony
Carrie tells the girls that she's headed to San Francisco
for her book tour and that she is desperate to get laid.
And well, yes, she just might call upon Big while she's
there. She recruits Samantha to join her on the journey
West - by train. Feeling jaded by NY and NY men, Samantha
is up for the adventure. Carrie wonders: "Are we
the new bachelors?"
Charlotte gets a surprise visit from her bald, sweaty
lawyer, Harry, with divorce papers in hand. Harry invites
the new divorcee to view a swanky bachelor's apartment
that is about to go on the market. At the apartment
(complete with bedroom strobe lights and surround sound),
Harry blurts out that he finds her incredibly sexy.
The old Charlotte is taken aback but the new Charlotte
jumps him. She confides in her gay pal Anthony that
she had incredible sex but that she has no interest
in being Harry's girlfriend. Anthony congratulates her
and gives her the lowdown on the rules of 'hot sex'
and nothing more.
Back on the railways, Carrie and Samantha are nowhere
near hot sex. Even crashing a bachelor party in the
bar car turns up nothing but happily married men. Samantha
nurses her wounds with a bottle of champagne while Carrie
obsesses over the inopportune arrival of a giant pimple.
Arriving at her book reading, Carrie finds herself
in front of an audience more excited about the next
star reader, Mr. Winkle the dog. During the Q and A
session, Big emerges from the crowd and asks her if
the "Big" she writes about has a name. Carrie
coyly tries to lure Big to bed but he's more interested
in understanding what she wrote about him. He tells
her he doesn't want her to get hurt again. Despite Carrie's
insistence that she's fine, Big goes to bed with her
book, not her, on top of him.
Meanwhile, Charlotte is back in bed with her lawyer
and practices the art of 'just sex' - sending him on
his way with no romantic talk when they're done. Carrie
has given up on any sex, but by morning, Big is back
to himself, joking that she'll need more material for
the sequel.
