"It's like she's had two caesarians and a lobotomy."
-Carrie
Carrie and Stanford attend a baby shower thrown by
their friends Kyra and Chuck. Upon arriving, they discover
that Kyra's house rules include the removal of all footwear,
regardless if doing so will destroy a carefully crafted
outfit. The evening is pleasant enough, but when Carrie
plans to leave the party, she discovers that her brand
new Manolos have been stolen. Later, Kyra offers to
pay for the missing shoes, but balks when she discovers
that they cost $485. Carrie winds up leaving the apartment
with no compensation, and a sense of shoe-induced shame.
She wonders if she has somehow made a mistake by choosing
the lifestyle that she did, rather than the more traditional
one chosen by Kyra.
Miranda finds herself with three separate problems:
an open apartment in her building, Brady suffering from
the chickenpox and her own growing need for male companionship.
Luckily, one person solves all three problems, as Dr.
Robert Leeds takes the vacancy and helps Miranda care
for her sick child. When Brady's virus spreads to Miranda,
Robert begins attending to her, but the tension in the
air hints that their relationship may soon grow beyond
doctor/patient.
Charlotte and Harry are still glowing in their post-wedding
bliss, but the new bride has a slight problem adjusting
to living with her husband's habits. She manages to
get him to agree to stop leaving his used teabags all
over the apartment, but she finds it more difficult
to get used to the sight of him walking around the apartment
in the nude. Charlotte doesn't say anything, but when
Harry puts his naked form on her new white couch, she
puts her foot down, and he agrees to wear shorts around
the house from then on.
Samantha's dislike for misbehaving children comes to
a head in a fancy restaurant. While a child babbles
loudly in the background, Sam is admonished for daring
to speak on a cell phone. Wildly frustrated by the double-standard,
Samantha approaches the table with the child, but winds
up with a face full of pesto for her troubles.
Carrie tries to smooth things over with Kyra, but it
seems that the two won't be able to come to an agreement.
Carrie then gets a brainstorm... since she's always
come through whenever Kyra has registered at a store,
then maybe it's time for Carrie to turn the tables.
Ms. Bradshaw registers herself at Manolo Blahnik, in
recognition of her just-announced marriage to herself.
The only item that she registers for is a single pair
of the missing $485 shoes, and Kyra finally comes around
and replaces the missing Manolos.
