"I'm a beard in a wig." -Samantha
New York is in the middle of a cold snap, but Carrie
and Petrovsky's relationship continues to sizzle. The
pair cuddle up in the Russian's apartment for several
days, causing Carrie to somewhat isolate herself from
her friends. During this period, Carrie starts to wonder
if she and Petrovsky have anything in common. They never
talk about work, even though Petrovsky has a huge exhibition
looming in Paris. When Carrie finally does come home
from Petrovsky's, she's got a week's worth of messages
waiting for her... all from Big. She erases the messages,
and gets a sense of satisfaction from doing so.
Samantha (along with her fabulous collection of wigs)
is non-plussed to hear growing rumors that Smith is
actually gay. However, after a carefully cropped image
of Smith, Stanford and Marcus sees print, the talk intensifies,
and Sam is stuck with the label of "fag hag."
To combat the rumors, Sam breaks out a video camera,
and films a raunchy sex scene between her and Smith.
The tape "leaks" to the press, and Smith's
(and Sam's) sexual preferences are firmly established
once and for all.
Charlotte decides to take Elizabeth Taylor back into
competition, entering the King Charles Spaniel in a
dog show. The event doesn't go smoothly, as Elizabeth
goes into heat right before the judging. Despite leaving
a trail of blood droplets in the ring, Elizabeth takes
first prize, largely due to the judge being sweet on
Charlotte. Harry and Charlotte take Elizabeth to the
park to celebrate, but the spaniel ends up mounted by
numerous other pooches, much to the dismay of the Goldenblatts.

only to discover that he's in the midst of an anxiety
attack about his upcoming exhibition in Paris. He finally
