"I could never! I have the most terrible fear
of heights!" -Charlotte
"Well, I do not... you've seen my shoes."
-Carrie
An assignment sends Carrie to explore the newest pastime
for singles in New York... swinging through the air
on the flying trapeze. Try as she might, Carrie just
can't allow herself to let go of the bar and allow her
instructor to catch her. While relating this situation
to the girls, Harry appears and introduces Carrie to
his best man for the upcoming nuptials. After much coaxing,
Carrie allows herself a one-nighter with her fellow
member of the wedding party, but winds up wildly unsatisfied
after he proves to be a less than sensitive lover.
Also having relationship issues are Miranda and Samantha.
Miranda finds herself hiding underneath her bed (nestled
next to Fatty) when Steve drops by unexpectedly with
his girlfriend Debbie. Miranda realizes that if she
were to actually meet Debbie, she'd have to admit that
Steve has found somebody else, and that's not something
that she's overly eager to do. Equally troubled is Samantha,
for loathe as she may be to admit it, Samantha realizes
that she definitely likes having Smith around. She misses
his helping hands in removing stubborn bracelets, but
even moreso, she wants him around due to her ever-growing
affection for the actor.
Charlotte and Harry's wedding day arrives, but much
to the bride's chagrin, nothing seems to work out properly.
First, Harry sees Charlotte while she tries on her gown,
sending Charlotte into a panic. The Sunday Times wedding
announcement is ruined with an ink stain on the image
of Charlotte's face (making her look somewhat like a
certain WWII dictator). Then at the ceremony, Charlotte
manages to spill wine on herself, Harry is unable to
smash the ceremonial glass, the best man (Carrie's fling)
gives a raucous drunken toast and Miranda accidentally
sets her tribute to the couple ablaze. Charlotte's "perfect"
day is wrecked, but Carrie consoles her, reminding her
that her wedding with Trey was flawless, but the marriage
itself didn't work out at all. From that moment on,
Charlotte enjoys the festivities, and happily anticipates
her life with Harry.
Returning to the trapeze once again, Carrie still finds
herself unable to let go and be caught by her instructor.
However, as the girls cheer her on from the sidelines,
she realizes that with friends like that, she'll always
have a safety net.
