"I like my money right where I can see it...
hanging in my closet." -Carrie
Carrie finally manages to set up a date with fellow
author Jack Berger, but the situation makes Carrie as
nervous as she is ecstatic. She fears that she'll screw
up everything by having a lousy date, thereby dooming
the entire prospective relationship. The girls suggest
that Carrie go on a "Sim-u-date" with another
man to calm her nerves and take the edge off the entire
situation.
Meanwhile, Charlotte finds herself in a tough situation.
Against all odds, she is falling deeply in love with
Harry, but he can't get serious about her because she's
not Jewish. She tries everything she can think of to
make him change his mind (including bringing up the
subject during the throes of passion), but he refuses
to budge, since he promised his late mother that he
would marry a Jew. Later, Charlotte begins to consider
converting to Judaism for Harry. The lovers discuss
their possible future, and when Harry accepts Charlotte's
difficulty in having children, Charlotte realizes that
he may be the man she's been looking for.
Things aren't any easier for Miranda, who finally admits
to herself that she's in love with Steve. After much
soul-searching, she decides to tell him during a dinner
"date", but he beats her to the punch by revealing
that he's already in an another relationship. Miranda's
spirits plummet, and she keeps her feelings to herself.
Samantha, as usual, doesn't seem to be having any problems
with men. She quickly seduces her new neighbor Chip,
a successful stockbroker. Sleeping with Chip pays off
well for Samantha, since whenever she becomes intimate
with him, he gives her stock tips. Unfortunately, Samantha
isn't the only woman getting stock tips from Chip, and
during a delicate moment, the FBI burst in and arrest
the broker for insider trading.
Carrie's "Sim-u-date" with graphic designer
Willie Applegate does not go well. After getting balsamic
vinegar in his eye and having a pigeon land on his head,
Willie manages to absolutely destroy the entire tablesetting
during a pratfall. This gets Carrie even more nervous
for her first date with Berger. During an afternoon
talk with Miranda, she spots Berger on the street, causing
her to panic and run down the street and right into
Aidan... and his newborn son, Tate. The meeting is awkward,
but Carrie realizes that if both she and Aidan could
survive their crash, then there is nothing that she
could do on a first date that couldn't be bounced back
from. She calls Berger up, and their first date goes
off without a hitch.
