"I once was broken up with by a guy's doorman.
'I'm sorry Ms. Hobbes, Jonathan won't be coming down.
Ever.'" -Miranda
Carrie and the girls are meeting for their usual breakfast
when two bombshells are dropped. The good news is that
Charlotte and Harry are engaged... but the bad news
is that Berger dumped Carrie via a Post-it note earlier
that morning. Carrie swears that she will refrain from
giving Berger the satisfaction of an angry message,
but winds up inadvertantly leaving one after badmouthing
him to some of his friends at an exclusive club.
Charlotte absolutely basks in the glow of her engagement
to Harry. Her ring is enormous (and patterned after
the one given by Richard Burton to Elizabeth Taylor),
and all seems well. All, that is, except for the nagging
feeling that somehow this second marriage will be somewhat
less special than her first. She tells the girls that
this wedding will be far less elaborate than the last,
releasing them from bridesmaid duties. Charlotte's attitude
changes after running into a enthusiastic barhopping
bridal party, rejuvenating her spirits and causing her
to re-enlist her friends as bridesmaids.
Miranda is also in a funk until discovering that after
many months of juggling motherhood and a career she
is now able to fit into her "skinny jeans"
for the first time since 1985. Her confidence soars,
and she finds herself able to easily speak with the
type of men that had been intimidating her. The jeans
eventually split, but Miranda's positive new outlook
remains.
Smith's career is rapidly heating up, but Samantha
fears that he's moving too quickly by referring to her
as his girlfriend during a private moment. She gives
him a fabulous pair of Robert Marc sunglasses and coaches
him to say that he's single when he makes an appearance
on TRL, maximizing his teenage scream potential and
keeping a comfortable distance between the pair. The
plan backfires on Sam when she sees the broadcast and
finds that she doesn't like hearing Smith declare his
availability on national television.
Licking their wounds, the girls wind up in a dive bar.
Samantha manages to score a joint in the bar, along
with a man to potentially keep her mind off of Smith.
Unfortunately, the man's girlfriend takes exception
to this, chasing Carrie and Samantha out of the bar.
The pair light the joint to take the edge off of their
problems, but it just gets worse when Carrie gets busted
for posession. Miranda, ever the lawyer, manages to
talk the charge down to "smoking in a bar,"
leaving Carrie with just a small fine to pay. The girls
then convene over shared banana splits, laughing as
a very long day comes to an end.
