"I can't be on the red carpet in a bad rug."
-Samantha
In a change from their usual excursions around Manhattan,
Petrovsky convinces Carrie to have dinner at her place.
The meal goes well, but ends abruptly when a mouse (smashed
by Petrovsky) runs across her countertop. Later, the
two get to talking about Samantha and her cancer, and
Aleks shocks Carrie by talking about a friend of his
who had died of the disease, making her realize the
severity of Samantha's situation. Carrie doesn't appreciate
Petrovsky's black and white viewpoint, and she walks
out on him.
Samantha's cancer treatments are going well, and she
reacts positively to the chemo. Unfortunately, the procedure
causes her hair to begin falling out. Samantha freaks
out at this development, especially since she has Smith's
big premiere coming up. A trip to a wig store proves
unsuccessful, since none of the pieces can match her
fabulous hair. After all of this, Samantha is forced
to admit to both Carrie and herself that her condition
scares her greatly. She then takes matters into her
own hands, and decides to shave her head. Proving that
chivalry isn't dead, Smith also shaves his own head
in a show of solidarity, and the pair make the premiere
in style.
Charlotte and Harry's quest to conceive continues in
vain as Charlotte's latest round of IVF proves unsuccessful.
She tries to run away from her problems (literally)
by taking frequent jogs in the park. During one of these
runs, Charlotte meets Trudy Stork and her King Charles
spaniel Princess Dandyridge Brandywine. The Princess
is a showdog, but she doesn't compete due to a minor
cosmetic flaw. Charlotte relates to the dog, and her
perceived imperfections. Trudy sees the bond between
the two, and gives Dandyridge to Mrs. York Goldenblatt.
A quick namechange to Elizabeth Taylor Goldenblatt cements
the dog's place as the newest member of Charlotte's
family.
Steve and Miranda discover that their apartment just
isn't big enough for the two of them, Brady, Fatty and
Scout. Steve suggests that the family move to Brooklyn,
but the thought of leaving Manhattan doesn't sit well
with Miranda. She grudgingly decides to take a look
at one house in the outer borough, and though she doesn't
immediately fall in love with the place, she does realize
that moving to Brooklyn is the best course of action
for her family. After some quick negotiations, she signs
the deal, and the house is theirs.
After another mouse invades Carrie's apartment, she
calls Petrovsky to try and eliminate that problem. After
he takes care of the rodent situation, the pair begin
to talk, and come to an understanding, bringing them
back together again.
