"I can't be drunk on the plane. I want to arrive
stunning and impossibly fresh looking." -Carrie
Before leaving for Paris, Carrie runs into Big outside
of her apartment, but she makes it clear to him that
she wants him totally out of her life. Ms. Bradshaw
then has one last dinner with Samantha, Charlotte and
Miranda, and it's clear that the four women know that
Carrie's absence will have a major impact on all of
their lives.
It's then time for Carrie's Parisian adventure to begin,
and she soon manages to take in several of the city's
breathtaking sights. She is also introduced to Petrovsky's
daughter, who clearly isn't taken with Carrie's charms.
In her travels, she sees four women having a meal together,
which combined with the frustration of losing her signature
"Carrie" necklace in a spill at Dior, makes
her think about her usual dining companions who are
now an ocean away. She makes a phone call to Miranda
to try and get some comfort, but the call is cut off
before resolution is achieved.
Meanwhile, back in New York, Samantha is chosen to
speak at a benefit for breast cancer research. Her speech
starts out stiffly, but she soon loosens up, and wins
over the audience with her usual blunt manner. Charlotte
and Harry continue their quest to adopt a child, with
the newlyweds knowing that the process is going to be
long and difficult.
When Charlotte visits Carrie's apartment to pick up
an adoption recommendation, she intercepts a phone call
from Big, intended to try and bring Carrie back into
his life. She sets up a meeting with herself, Big, Miranda
and Samantha to discuss the situation. Ultimately, the
three women agree that Big should go and try and find
Carrie in Paris.
Petrovsky surprises Carrie by replacing her missing
nameplate with a stunning diamond necklace. She's stunned
by the piece, but it seems as if she's beginning to
realize that Paris may not be where her true destiny
lies.
