Speaker: 00:00:02

Welcome to the end, just like that sex and the city fans podcast.

Speaker: 00:00:07

I created this podcast for sex and the city fans.

Speaker: 00:00:10

And just like you who love Carrie Bradshaw and are super excited to binge out on this

Speaker: 00:00:15

new HBO max series and just like this.

Speaker: 00:00:18

Let's watch the new chapter of sex in the city and just like that.

Speaker: 00:00:22

And talk about fashion, love, relationships, and life in New York city.

Speaker: 00:00:27

Hi, I am dimple.

Speaker: 00:00:27

Dang.

Speaker: 00:00:28

I am your host.

Speaker: 00:00:29

I'm a marketing expert, a podcast coach, and a podcaster.

Speaker: 00:00:33

And let's get this party started.

Speaker: 00:00:40

Hello, everybody and happy new year.

Speaker: 00:00:43

And today we're going to be talking about what happened on

Speaker: 00:00:46

episode six of and just like that.

Speaker: 00:00:49

So this was another interesting episode.

Speaker: 00:00:52

A lot did happen.

Speaker: 00:00:54

I feel like it was a little bit boring compared to episode five, but then again,

Speaker: 00:00:59

in episode five, a lot did happen and Che.

Speaker: 00:01:04

Miranda hooked up.

Speaker: 00:01:05

So that was, pretty pivotal.

Speaker: 00:01:07

All right.

Speaker: 00:01:07

So this episode opens up with Carrie and this big modern, amazing apartment

Speaker: 00:01:14

with floor to ceiling windows.

Speaker: 00:01:16

And the deal is that Carrie is thinking about now moving to downtown.

Speaker: 00:01:21

She's never lived in downtown before.

Speaker: 00:01:23

She's thinking that she's lived in the same apartments for years and

Speaker: 00:01:26

years, and now she wants to change.

Speaker: 00:01:28

So she is in this big, amazing apartment that has a view, a gorgeous

Speaker: 00:01:34

view by the way of the Hudson river.

Speaker: 00:01:37

it's got amazing floor to ceiling windows.

Speaker: 00:01:39

That's got this big, beautiful white kitchen and modern lighting and.

Speaker: 00:01:45

I have a feeling though.

Speaker: 00:01:46

I don't know if Kerry's quite ready for this though, because she is a little

Speaker: 00:01:49

old school when it comes to technology.

Speaker: 00:01:52

And I don't know if she's going to be able to figure out all the fancy

Speaker: 00:01:55

gadgets so we will see what happens.

Speaker: 00:01:58

so then Sima was on the terrorist talking to her family and her

Speaker: 00:02:02

family's inviting her over for this Devali party, which we'll talk

Speaker: 00:02:05

about a little later and to see.

Speaker: 00:02:08

Comes back from the balcony.

Speaker: 00:02:10

And she basically struts into the apartment and she's got a leopard outfit

Speaker: 00:02:15

on, which is very fitting because, you know, she is just kind of like the

Speaker: 00:02:19

boss and she gets the business done.

Speaker: 00:02:22

And of course, Anthony being Anthony, and he is eyeing her up and down.

Speaker: 00:02:27

, and then he lets out a grow.

Speaker: 00:02:29

And that's interesting because, he's kinda like, okay, all right.

Speaker: 00:02:34

and then if you look at this particular scene too, If you notice

Speaker: 00:02:38

a difference Sima's hair, even it's a little bit more fuller, there's

Speaker: 00:02:43

more volume, there's more curls.

Speaker: 00:02:46

And you know, it kinda just shows like, okay, she's stepping up her game because

Speaker: 00:02:51

as you know, she is single, she's looking for a man and she's 53, still single.

Speaker: 00:02:57

You know, it's not easy finding a man sometimes not the kind that you want,

Speaker: 00:03:01

especially if you are older and you're set in your ways, it's hard to find

Speaker: 00:03:05

someone nowadays that's just realistic.

Speaker: 00:03:07

It doesn't matter how old you are.

Speaker: 00:03:09

And also a lot of the good ones are taken.

Speaker: 00:03:11

So you have to find them early on before someone else snags them.

Speaker: 00:03:15

So keep that in mind.

Speaker: 00:03:16

So in the next scene, Carrie's having lunch with her girls and she shares that

Speaker: 00:03:21

she really doesn't love the apartment.

Speaker: 00:03:24

And then Miranda says, matter of faculty, well, don't buy it.

Speaker: 00:03:29

Well, yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker: 00:03:30

But the only problem is Miranda that Carrie already signed the papers to

Speaker: 00:03:34

buy those property, because I think she was looking at it as one more

Speaker: 00:03:38

thing that she just wants to check off her list and get it out of the way.

Speaker: 00:03:43

So Carrie just bought it and I don't think she bought it for the right reason.

Speaker: 00:03:47

I think Carrie was thinking to herself that in the old apartment, you

Speaker: 00:03:52

know, she's just retreating because she's lived there since she was 29.

Speaker: 00:03:57

Now that she's 55 and she's talked herself into thinking that maybe it's time for

Speaker: 00:04:04

a change and the changes this new ultra modern, almost to modern apartment that

Speaker: 00:04:11

Carrie decides to purchase and move into.

Speaker: 00:04:14

So in the next.

Speaker: 00:04:16

Got to talk about Charlotte and her daughter.

Speaker: 00:04:19

So Charlotte is talking to her daughters and they are complaining

Speaker: 00:04:24

about the Madame Alexander dolls.

Speaker: 00:04:27

They're saying that the dolls are culturally inappropriate, and they

Speaker: 00:04:31

want to remove them from the room.

Speaker: 00:04:33

They're stating that every time their friends come over, It makes

Speaker: 00:04:37

them feel uncomfortable and they just don't want them around anymore.

Speaker: 00:04:41

They also don't like the wall the way it is.

Speaker: 00:04:44

And when you think about it, like a lot of these things that were done to their

Speaker: 00:04:48

room, Charlotte did this like years ago.

Speaker: 00:04:51

And Charlotte, you have to realize that.

Speaker: 00:04:54

Your little girls are no longer little anymore.

Speaker: 00:04:57

And they are growing up to be young woman and they want to be

Speaker: 00:05:00

able to make their own decisions.

Speaker: 00:05:03

They want to feel empowered.

Speaker: 00:05:05

They want to be able to pick the hairstyle that they want, the clothes that they

Speaker: 00:05:08

wear, and they should have some say so and how they want to decorate their rooms.

Speaker: 00:05:13

And I think that that's a fair ask.

Speaker: 00:05:15

So Charlotte, you're going to have to start thinking about these things

Speaker: 00:05:19

because otherwise your kids are going to be pretty unhappy with you.

Speaker: 00:05:23

So in the next scene, Miranda is with her professor, Dr.

Speaker: 00:05:27

Nia Wallace.

Speaker: 00:05:28

And what's interesting is they now seem to be friends.

Speaker: 00:05:32

And, you know, they are walking down the street because, Dr.

Speaker: 00:05:36

Nia said, Hey Miranda, do you want to grab a coffee?

Speaker: 00:05:38

And she's like, sure.

Speaker: 00:05:40

So they're walking down the street, drinking their coffee and chatting.

Speaker: 00:05:44

And what's interesting is if you notice what they're wearing, some

Speaker: 00:05:48

Miranda has a russet color top on.

Speaker: 00:05:52

And Dr.

Speaker: 00:05:53

Nia has rusted colored pants on, and also part of her, top one of

Speaker: 00:05:58

the sleeves is also a rustic color.

Speaker: 00:06:01

So what's interesting is I think that's very symbolic that there's

Speaker: 00:06:04

somehow connected and you know, they're becoming friends because subconsciously.

Speaker: 00:06:10

They're even picking out outfits that are the same color when they end up

Speaker: 00:06:14

meeting each other on the same day.

Speaker: 00:06:17

So they're somehow connected and that's something to keep in mind.

Speaker: 00:06:21

And so Dr.

Speaker: 00:06:23

Nia is telling Miranda that she has to go to dinner with some of their friends

Speaker: 00:06:28

and she really is not looking forward to it because she's calling this woman

Speaker: 00:06:33

whose name is Myrtle fertile Myrtle.

Speaker: 00:06:36

Dr.

Speaker: 00:06:37

Nia has been trying to get IVF, but in reality, I don't really think

Speaker: 00:06:41

she's excited about having children.

Speaker: 00:06:43

And I think she really wants to focus on her career, but she doesn't quite

Speaker: 00:06:47

know how to tell her husband that.

Speaker: 00:06:50

And I think she's also going through the whole battle of

Speaker: 00:06:54

figuring that out for herself.

Speaker: 00:06:55

She's not sure if she wants to have kids and she's not sure

Speaker: 00:07:00

that if she decides not to.

Speaker: 00:07:02

Is she going to have a regret later on in life and she doesn't

Speaker: 00:07:05

want to have that regret either.

Speaker: 00:07:07

So I think she's got some things to figure out and obviously,

Speaker: 00:07:10

you know, that will happen.

Speaker: 00:07:12

Okay.

Speaker: 00:07:12

So in the next scene, SEMA and Carrie are chatting and Sima is telling Carrie

Speaker: 00:07:17

all about her parents and saying how they want her to be married and they

Speaker: 00:07:22

try to, fix her up with people.

Speaker: 00:07:25

And her parents want to get her into an arranged marriage with.

Speaker: 00:07:28

You know, and, and the Indian culture, it is somewhat common.

Speaker: 00:07:31

now, I mean, I think parents are more open-minded to letting their kids like,

Speaker: 00:07:36

have a love marriage, but there was a time back in the day when, people

Speaker: 00:07:41

didn't really have a choice and they were like forced into marrying

Speaker: 00:07:44

someone that was chosen by their parents, which really is not fair.

Speaker: 00:07:49

And I think that it also ends up.

Speaker: 00:07:51

You know, making some people very unhappy when they're forced into doing something.

Speaker: 00:07:56

And usually those marriages don't last either.

Speaker: 00:08:00

Or if they do last, they're not really a real marriage anymore.

Speaker: 00:08:03

They're just there for financial reasons.

Speaker: 00:08:06

Or maybe that they don't want to be shamed by their community

Speaker: 00:08:10

if they do get a divorce.

Speaker: 00:08:11

So you'll see all of those things.

Speaker: 00:08:13

So then Sima's telling her about, this Devali party that she has to go too.

Speaker: 00:08:18

And she's saying, oh, you know, I hate that I have to go alone.

Speaker: 00:08:23

Carrie's like, well, wait, you know, you don't necessarily have to go alone.

Speaker: 00:08:27

I mean, I would love to get out of the house and, and I can go with

Speaker: 00:08:30

you because Carrie, you know, needs a reason to get out of the house.

Speaker: 00:08:35

She's been through a tough time with losing Mr.

Speaker: 00:08:37

Bay.

Speaker: 00:08:38

And knowing Carrie, she loves a good party.

Speaker: 00:08:41

She loves to get all dolled up.

Speaker: 00:08:43

And this is perfect because Carrie has actually been wanting to wear a sari.

Speaker: 00:08:48

So Carrie is super excited about wearing a sari to the Devali party.

Speaker: 00:08:53

All right.

Speaker: 00:08:53

So you guys are probably wondering what exactly is the volley.

Speaker: 00:08:57

So I'm going to tell you guys what it is because I'm actually am Indian as well.

Speaker: 00:09:01

So do celebrate it.

Speaker: 00:09:03

And for those of you who don't know what it is, it's an Indian festival.

Speaker: 00:09:09

And in fact, in the year 2022, the volume is going to be celebrating.

Speaker: 00:09:14

, starting Monday, October 24th, and it's a five day festival that goes on and it's

Speaker: 00:09:20

celebrate victory of light over darkness.

Speaker: 00:09:24

And it is actually one of the most popular holidays in India.

Speaker: 00:09:29

And Thursday is the main day, the festivities and they faithfully pray to

Speaker: 00:09:35

the Hindu goddess of wealth, which is.

Speaker: 00:09:38

Lectured me and she's the goddess of wealth and good fortune and

Speaker: 00:09:43

how the volleys celebrated as it's considered to be a festival of lights.

Speaker: 00:09:48

And it's done by putting a lot of lights in the home and candles around the house

Speaker: 00:09:56

and decorating the home and even fireworks are, displayed throughout the sky.

Speaker: 00:10:02

And some people are.

Speaker: 00:10:03

Also buying, fireworks to go off in their backyard or firecrackers.

Speaker: 00:10:09

And they're also doing, what's called a Pooja, which means that they are

Speaker: 00:10:15

doing prayers and they're offering.

Speaker: 00:10:18

And, Indian sweets to the goddesses and the gods, and they are like praying

Speaker: 00:10:24

and they're celebrating, they're putting on their finest outfits and

Speaker: 00:10:29

they are really in a festive mood and they're celebrating with their

Speaker: 00:10:32

family and friends and loved ones.

Speaker: 00:10:35

Okay.

Speaker: 00:10:36

So in the next scene, Charlotte is helping Carrie unpack some of her boxes so that

Speaker: 00:10:41

Carrie can have a few items to take back to her swanky downtown apartment.

Speaker: 00:10:45

And of course, Charlotte walks in and right away she's prepared.

Speaker: 00:10:51

She has a exact knife, our box opener, whatever you want to call it in her purse.

Speaker: 00:10:56

And when you think about it, if you need something done around the house,

Speaker: 00:11:01

she probably knows how to get it done, or she can probably do it herself.

Speaker: 00:11:05

So she's a friend that you want to keep around when you need help packing,

Speaker: 00:11:09

unpacking, organizing all of those.

Speaker: 00:11:13

So Carrie's going through the boxes and what's interesting is

Speaker: 00:11:16

the boxes are not really labeled.

Speaker: 00:11:18

So I, I mean, I don't know why that is.

Speaker: 00:11:21

I'm assuming.

Speaker: 00:11:22

That everything was done in such a hurry.

Speaker: 00:11:25

after she lost Mr.

Speaker: 00:11:26

Big that they didn't really label what's inside of what box and organize it.

Speaker: 00:11:32

But if you're moving, it's always a good idea, not just to put if

Speaker: 00:11:36

the boxes for the living room or if it's for the kitchen or the bedroom

Speaker: 00:11:40

or the bathroom, but to actually.

Speaker: 00:11:43

A couple of items that are in that box.

Speaker: 00:11:46

So then you can be reminded of what else you might've put in that box.

Speaker: 00:11:50

So this way, when you're looking for something, when you need it, you

Speaker: 00:11:53

can find it because it is not easy to open 50 different boxes to find

Speaker: 00:11:58

one blender or one pot or one pan or something specific that you need.

Speaker: 00:12:03

It probably would be easier to go to Amazon and order it than

Speaker: 00:12:07

have to go through, do that.

Speaker: 00:12:08

So if you are going to move, there's a moving tip for you guys, right?

Speaker: 00:12:13

All right.

Speaker: 00:12:13

So then Carrie opens up one of the boxes with the Exacto knife and she sees all

Speaker: 00:12:19

of the records and she's reminded of Mr.

Speaker: 00:12:21

Big, and it's still too fresh for her.

Speaker: 00:12:24

It's a little bit upsetting.

Speaker: 00:12:26

So she wants to just get out of there and she's like, that's okay.

Speaker: 00:12:30

I don't need that many things.

Speaker: 00:12:31

I'm just going to take the hat and the lamp and I'm going to be on my way.

Speaker: 00:12:36

And so then.

Speaker: 00:12:38

Is back at her beautiful modern downtown apartment.

Speaker: 00:12:42

That's got amazing views of the Hudson river.

Speaker: 00:12:45

She's got this gorgeous white kitchen, but then there's like the strange beep

Speaker: 00:12:50

that keeps going off and she can't figure out where it's coming from.

Speaker: 00:12:56

So she looks baffled.

Speaker: 00:12:58

She looks around the kitchen.

Speaker: 00:13:01

She opens the dishwasher.

Speaker: 00:13:03

It doesn't seem to be the dishwasher.

Speaker: 00:13:05

She opens a fridge and she can't figure out where it's coming from either.

Speaker: 00:13:11

So it's probably not the fridge.

Speaker: 00:13:13

And then her phone rings and it is Anthony And Anthony is asking if she can join him

Speaker: 00:13:20

for support, because he has an appointment with a plastic surgeon the next day,

Speaker: 00:13:26

and he needs some mental support.

Speaker: 00:13:29

So Carrie being a good friend that she is agrees to go with him.

Speaker: 00:13:33

And then Carrie also is asking Anthony about this beep Anthony's

Speaker: 00:13:39

kinda got a million things going on.

Speaker: 00:13:41

So he's on the phone with Carey.

Speaker: 00:13:43

He's trying to direct his team of hot fellows guys, which are hot about where

Speaker: 00:13:49

to put everything and to do this and that.

Speaker: 00:13:52

So he's a little chaotic, but he insists that it's a dishwasher and he tells

Speaker: 00:13:56

her to keep slamming the dishwasher.

Speaker: 00:13:58

And I'm thinking, Carrie, you're going to break that dishwasher.

Speaker: 00:14:01

Girl, don't slam it anymore because I don't think he really knows.

Speaker: 00:14:06

After all, whatever he did suggest it didn't work.

Speaker: 00:14:09

You guys.

Speaker: 00:14:09

So he was wrong about that.

Speaker: 00:14:11

So the interesting thing is, um, he's got like two of the guys that are loading up

Speaker: 00:14:16

the truck with the bread and the bakery items and the bread falls on the floor.

Speaker: 00:14:23

And the guy's like, oh, three second rule.

Speaker: 00:14:26

No, no, no.

Speaker: 00:14:28

I mean, you are hot, but you're not that bright because you.

Speaker: 00:14:32

Do that you don't drop something on the floor and say the three

Speaker: 00:14:36

second rule, and you're going to go serve it to a client or a customer.

Speaker: 00:14:39

It doesn't work that way, but Anthony, you didn't know.

Speaker: 00:14:43

The names of your employees and you were getting them mixed up.

Speaker: 00:14:46

So I think that you really should know your employee's names because you do

Speaker: 00:14:51

want them to feel appreciated and you do want them to feel like they matter.

Speaker: 00:14:57

Even if they aren't bright about picking up the bread from the floor,

Speaker: 00:15:00

you can train them on those kinds of things, but you got to learn the name.

Speaker: 00:15:04

So Anthony stopped being such a busy.

Speaker: 00:15:07

And stop snooping on other people and actually learn your employee's names.

Speaker: 00:15:12

Perfect.

Speaker: 00:15:13

All right.

Speaker: 00:15:14

so in the next scene, we've got Dr.

Speaker: 00:15:16

Naya and her husband and then the Myrtle fertile couple.

Speaker: 00:15:21

And it's going to be quite a dinner because guess what?

Speaker: 00:15:24

You guys, Myrtle fertile is pregnant again.

Speaker: 00:15:28

And she kind of makes and her husband feel bad that, you know,

Speaker: 00:15:34

they, they don't have a kid yet, and they're not doing this.

Speaker: 00:15:37

So.

Speaker: 00:15:38

I think you guys, she's kinda mind her own business, it's fine

Speaker: 00:15:42

that she's got a bunch of kids and she keeps cranking up more kids.

Speaker: 00:15:46

But having a child is really a personal decision and I think she should just let

Speaker: 00:15:51

them figure it out and stop butting in because it's really not her business.

Speaker: 00:15:57

So I know that Dr.

Speaker: 00:15:59

Neo was so glad when that dinner was over.

Speaker: 00:16:02

Okay.

Speaker: 00:16:03

So the next scene, poor Carrie she's back at her apartment and the beeping is

Speaker: 00:16:08

back and she tries to call maintenance, but I guess it was after hours and her

Speaker: 00:16:14

building doesn't have 24 hour maintenance, which is something good to look for.

Speaker: 00:16:19

If they do have buildings with emergency maintenance or 24 hour

Speaker: 00:16:23

maintenance, that would be preferable.

Speaker: 00:16:25

But.

Speaker: 00:16:26

So she calls maintenance and they were like, well, we're not

Speaker: 00:16:29

available until the morning.

Speaker: 00:16:30

So this means that she's going to have to sleep with that beeping noise.

Speaker: 00:16:34

So at that moment, I think Carrie's kind of realizing I

Speaker: 00:16:38

really don't like this apartment.

Speaker: 00:16:41

In fact, I hate it and I don't know why I bought it and I don't want to live here.

Speaker: 00:16:45

And I think it's kind of the one thing that made her realize,

Speaker: 00:16:50

what is she even doing there?

Speaker: 00:16:51

She doesn't even belong.

Speaker: 00:16:53

In that apartment because she bought it for the wrong reason.

Speaker: 00:16:57

So I think it was like a reality check.

Speaker: 00:16:59

And then later more talk about this will come out in the episode.

Speaker: 00:17:04

All right.

Speaker: 00:17:05

So in the next scene, Carrie and Anthony go to see the plastic surgeon.

Speaker: 00:17:11

His name is Dr.

Speaker: 00:17:12

Paul David.

Speaker: 00:17:13

And if you guys ask me, he looks like a very young handsome.

Speaker: 00:17:19

Matthew McConaughey version.

Speaker: 00:17:22

And even the hair looks like Matthew's hair.

Speaker: 00:17:25

So Mr.

Speaker: 00:17:26

Dreamy, like he's definitely a good looking plastic surgeon.

Speaker: 00:17:31

And so Dr.

Speaker: 00:17:33

David is giving Anthony his assessment and he's got all great things to say.

Speaker: 00:17:38

He's saying that he's got nice Italian skin and he's hot and

Speaker: 00:17:43

Anthony's thinking, well, this is the best consultation I've ever had.

Speaker: 00:17:47

And yeah.

Speaker: 00:17:47

Well, Carrie's there.

Speaker: 00:17:48

She's thinking well, since I'm here anyway, maybe I should just see

Speaker: 00:17:53

if I can get a consultation too and see what the doctor thinks.

Speaker: 00:17:56

And so she tells the doctor, you know, like, Hey, can you take a

Speaker: 00:18:00

look at her and suggest some things?

Speaker: 00:18:03

And so the doctor moves his chair closer to her and he's staring at her.

Speaker: 00:18:07

And before, he can fully take a look at her.

Speaker: 00:18:11

She starts talking and she starts rambling and she's saying, Oh,

Speaker: 00:18:15

I don't normally look like this.

Speaker: 00:18:17

I didn't sleep well last night, which that part's true though.

Speaker: 00:18:21

And then she's like, well, I just lost my husband and I just, this, I think

Speaker: 00:18:24

she's feeling, a bit insecure about how she looks and maybe she's realizing

Speaker: 00:18:30

that she doesn't look like she did 15 years ago and somehow time just passed.

Speaker: 00:18:36

And now here she is, but she doesn't really know how she got to this point.

Speaker: 00:18:41

and she is curious to know what the doctor says.

Speaker: 00:18:45

so Dr.

Speaker: 00:18:46

David tells Carrie that she looks like she's 48 and she's beautiful.

Speaker: 00:18:50

So, so that's good.

Speaker: 00:18:51

And then you offers her a 3d image consultation.

Speaker: 00:18:54

And he gets up.

Speaker: 00:18:56

He starts walking toward the area of the room where the machine is, and he tells

Speaker: 00:19:03

Carrie to come over and carry stands, but she's just stuck and she can't seem to

Speaker: 00:19:08

walk over and it's because she's thinking, oh my God, what did I get myself into?

Speaker: 00:19:16

Here we go.

Speaker: 00:19:17

So the doctor's like, choruses are to come over there and she goes over there.

Speaker: 00:19:23

And then he starts suggesting, what she needs, he shows her image

Speaker: 00:19:28

and what she looks like right now.

Speaker: 00:19:30

And then he's going to show her an image of what she can look like if she did

Speaker: 00:19:35

all of these things that he's suggesting.

Speaker: 00:19:37

And so this is a long list, you guys, so he's saying, oh, a couple

Speaker: 00:19:42

of injectables for plumping.

Speaker: 00:19:45

Some laser work, some upper eye surgery.

Speaker: 00:19:49

Maybe a mini facelift are, are you guys brace for this, a

Speaker: 00:19:54

full facelift and a neck lift.

Speaker: 00:19:57

And basically he's saying it's completely up to her depending

Speaker: 00:20:00

on the results that you want.

Speaker: 00:20:02

And then he pulls up this photo of what Carrie, Ken look like.

Speaker: 00:20:07

And this photo is of Carrie looking like she's probably 25 years old and

Speaker: 00:20:14

he say, This is what you can look like.

Speaker: 00:20:17

And Carrie's like, oh yeah, I remember her.

Speaker: 00:20:21

and then the doctor says, well, Carrie, with the right work and the right

Speaker: 00:20:25

touch, the last 15 years can be erased.

Speaker: 00:20:28

So she starts thinking, oh, well maybe I do want to erase the last 15 years.

Speaker: 00:20:35

And how much is this going to cost?

Speaker: 00:20:37

And of course, it's going to cost a ton of money.

Speaker: 00:20:39

But she hasn't made any decisions yet.

Speaker: 00:20:42

So she's gonna think about it.

Speaker: 00:20:44

So in the next scene,

Speaker: 00:20:45

Miranda, Carrie and Charlotte are having a picnic in the park and it

Speaker: 00:20:49

looks like they're in central park or some other beautiful park in Manhattan.

Speaker: 00:20:54

And Carrie's telling them about her experience at, the plastic

Speaker: 00:20:57

surgeon's office yesterday.

Speaker: 00:21:00

And Charlotte says, well, see, that's what they do to women.

Speaker: 00:21:04

They make it wrong for us to age.

Speaker: 00:21:06

And when you think about our comment, I mean, I would, I would

Speaker: 00:21:10

have to agree, cause I think there's so much pressure for.

Speaker: 00:21:13

To look good.

Speaker: 00:21:14

There's so much marketing around it.

Speaker: 00:21:17

There's so many different creams.

Speaker: 00:21:18

There's so many different plastic surgeons.

Speaker: 00:21:20

There's so many different new procedures.

Speaker: 00:21:24

And there is a lot of emphasis on looking young.

Speaker: 00:21:28

And I think America is obsessed with looking young you know, it's

Speaker: 00:21:32

really, it's, it's in a way it's really sad because it's like, How far

Speaker: 00:21:37

are you going to go to look young?

Speaker: 00:21:38

Right.

Speaker: 00:21:39

And a lot of people go very far and then some of them end up having plastic

Speaker: 00:21:44

surgery and it just doesn't look good.

Speaker: 00:21:46

Right.

Speaker: 00:21:46

And then some of them, they do it.

Speaker: 00:21:48

Right.

Speaker: 00:21:48

And it looks good.

Speaker: 00:21:48

And I think that's a personal decision.

Speaker: 00:21:50

So I'm not biased either way.

Speaker: 00:21:52

I think that you have to do what makes you feel good.

Speaker: 00:21:55

and if it helps you be more confident, then by all means go do that.

Speaker: 00:22:00

But I think that, We do live in a society that is obsessed with looks.

Speaker: 00:22:05

I think that, there's men that are in their seventies and they want young woman.

Speaker: 00:22:10

And the young woman want men with money.

Speaker: 00:22:13

, so I mean, you see that a lot, but it just the world that we live in right

Speaker: 00:22:17

now, and that's what it's all about.

Speaker: 00:22:19

and I think with the anxious, just like that versus sex in the city, It's showing

Speaker: 00:22:25

a whole different version of the cast.

Speaker: 00:22:27

It's showing them when they're now in their fifties, it's showing them

Speaker: 00:22:32

with the challenges that come with aging that they're facing and it's

Speaker: 00:22:37

showing the fact that, you know, they, they may even lose loved ones.

Speaker: 00:22:42

When they're in their fifties, they may, lose their college in.

Speaker: 00:22:45

Right.

Speaker: 00:22:46

It just depends.

Speaker: 00:22:47

Right?

Speaker: 00:22:47

So I think there's a lot of things, people are considering, but this is like

Speaker: 00:22:52

reality though, of showing like real life, they're showing what people may go

Speaker: 00:22:56

through when they're in their fifties.

Speaker: 00:22:58

Right.

Speaker: 00:22:58

But I think they're exaggerating a little bit, some of this stuff.

Speaker: 00:23:02

Happening in their fifties.

Speaker: 00:23:03

And it's like, well, maybe really doesn't happen like that.

Speaker: 00:23:08

Maybe it's more like in their sixties.

Speaker: 00:23:09

So I don't know, just I'm just ranting.

Speaker: 00:23:12

So Miranda and Charlotte are talking and Miranda is saying that she's

Speaker: 00:23:15

been having these thoughts about Shea and Charlotte's like, oh yeah.

Speaker: 00:23:19

Even I had a sex dream about Shea, but then Miranda shares with

Speaker: 00:23:24

Charlotte that hers are not really a fantasy, but they're a replay.

Speaker: 00:23:32

And so she's trying to tell her, like her.

Speaker: 00:23:34

Dreams are based on something that actually happened in real life.

Speaker: 00:23:38

Whereas Charlotte was just a dream.

Speaker: 00:23:41

It was a fantasy.

Speaker: 00:23:42

So what she's trying to do, she's trying to prepare Charlotte for the

Speaker: 00:23:45

bomb that she's about to drop because Charlotte does not take things lightly.

Speaker: 00:23:49

And she knows that Charlotte is going to over react.

Speaker: 00:23:52

So she prefaces it and she says, Hey Charlotte, I know you're going to

Speaker: 00:23:57

have a big reaction, but I'm asking you to not have a big reaction.

Speaker: 00:24:01

And Charlotte's like, okay.

Speaker: 00:24:04

But we all know Charlotte's really not going to be okay.

Speaker: 00:24:08

Because she is going to make a big deal out of everything.

Speaker: 00:24:11

So then Charlotte finds out and she freaks out because she looks at Carrie and she

Speaker: 00:24:16

says, Carrie, did you know about this?

Speaker: 00:24:19

And Carrie says, And then the look on Charlotte's face she's even more

Speaker: 00:24:24

mortified because she's thinking to herself, well, why the hell

Speaker: 00:24:28

does everyone else know about this?

Speaker: 00:24:30

But me and Carrie, why couldn't you have told me this?

Speaker: 00:24:34

And at this point Carrie's like, oh my God, this picnic

Speaker: 00:24:37

is going south really fast.

Speaker: 00:24:39

Why couldn't we be drinking real wine?

Speaker: 00:24:42

So by the way, they're drinking non-alcoholic wine because.

Speaker: 00:24:46

Miranda has given up drinking for now from the previous episode, we'll

Speaker: 00:24:51

see how long it lasts, but they are being good friends and they were

Speaker: 00:24:54

supporting her by not drinking as well.

Speaker: 00:24:57

And we'll see how long it lasts because I'm not convinced.

Speaker: 00:25:01

So then Charlotte asked Miranda, well, Miranda, are you gay now?

Speaker: 00:25:06

And Miranda's like, I don't know.

Speaker: 00:25:09

And then Charlotte is raving on about the fact that Miranda you're married to a

Speaker: 00:25:14

man and now you're having non binary sex.

Speaker: 00:25:17

And then Charlotte has to drop the bomb and says to Miranda, you're

Speaker: 00:25:22

not progressive enough for this.

Speaker: 00:25:24

And that was a last straw.

Speaker: 00:25:26

Miranda was fuming at this point, and she's had enough of Charlotte rant

Speaker: 00:25:32

and she decides, you know what, I'm not going to sit here and listen to this.

Speaker: 00:25:36

I'm getting up.

Speaker: 00:25:37

I'm going to go.

Speaker: 00:25:39

And then what's interesting is when she gets up to go.

Speaker: 00:25:41

Her leg fell asleep.

Speaker: 00:25:43

So I don't know if this is another like ageism thing coming in here.

Speaker: 00:25:47

Are it just the fact that they're sitting at a picnic table, but your leg

Speaker: 00:25:51

does fall asleep even when, when you're a kid, you guys sell there's that.

Speaker: 00:25:55

But anyway, it's funny because she's like telling Carrie, get over here and help me.

Speaker: 00:26:00

So Carrie goes to help her and then basically storms away and Carrie

Speaker: 00:26:04

goes after her and Carrie's like, wait, Like you can't just walk away.

Speaker: 00:26:10

Like we already lost Samantha.

Speaker: 00:26:12

We can't just keep losing friends.

Speaker: 00:26:14

And then she, you know, urges her to come back.

Speaker: 00:26:17

And that's true because if you are the kind of person that's going

Speaker: 00:26:20

to throw friends away that quickly and throw friendships away, you're

Speaker: 00:26:24

going to have no friends left.

Speaker: 00:26:25

And I think that.

Speaker: 00:26:26

You know, you have to be willing to forgive friends.

Speaker: 00:26:29

And sometimes when you think about it, what Charlotte, the only

Speaker: 00:26:33

reason why Charlotte's overreacting is deep down inside Charlotte

Speaker: 00:26:38

really cares about Miranda.

Speaker: 00:26:40

She doesn't want to see her hurt.

Speaker: 00:26:41

She doesn't want to see her ruin her marriage, and it may not be your business.

Speaker: 00:26:46

But I think that they've been friends for so long.

Speaker: 00:26:49

She just cares.

Speaker: 00:26:50

And sometimes when people care.

Speaker: 00:26:52

They interfere a little bit too much, but Charlotte needed to tone it

Speaker: 00:26:57

down by a lot, but where Anna comes back and Charlotte does apologize.

Speaker: 00:27:02

So that was good.

Speaker: 00:27:02

Cause I think that that was a good move on your part, Charlotte.

Speaker: 00:27:06

So in the next scene, Carrie comes outside of her apartment.

Speaker: 00:27:09

She's ready to go to the, the volley party.

Speaker: 00:27:12

And she looks absolutely gorgeous in her two piece Indian outfit, which

Speaker: 00:27:18

carries probably calling a sari.

Speaker: 00:27:20

But it's not really a, sorry, sorry.

Speaker: 00:27:22

He's a little bit different.

Speaker: 00:27:23

It's the one that it wraps all the way around at the bottom.

Speaker: 00:27:27

And then there's fabric that covers your one shoulder and there's

Speaker: 00:27:30

like a little top that goes into.

Speaker: 00:27:33

But anyway, she looks gorgeous.

Speaker: 00:27:35

She's got her hair in a braid with flowers in it, and she just looks like she's

Speaker: 00:27:42

really ready to rock this Devali party.

Speaker: 00:27:44

So, I love that you are able to get all dressed up and go to a party.

Speaker: 00:27:51

And you're not just sitting at home and crying over Mr.

Speaker: 00:27:55

Beck and just feeling sorry for yourself, because I think it is important to get

Speaker: 00:27:59

out into the world and to live your life.

Speaker: 00:28:01

And when you think about it, that's exactly what Mr.

Speaker: 00:28:04

Big would have wanted.

Speaker: 00:28:05

He would have wanted you to be happy and to move on.

Speaker: 00:28:10

So Carrie gets on the car and Siemens of course come to pick her up.

Speaker: 00:28:13

And she has her driver that drives her around everywhere, and she's smoking her

Speaker: 00:28:18

cigarette and she acknowledges Carrie and tells her how amazing she looks.

Speaker: 00:28:24

And then they go to this Devale party and Carrie is talking.

Speaker: 00:28:30

And they go to this volley party and Carrie is talking to Sima's

Speaker: 00:28:34

parents and they're questioning her about this guy named Dennis.

Speaker: 00:28:38

So who is Dennis?

Speaker: 00:28:39

You guys?

Speaker: 00:28:39

Dennis is Sima's imaginary boyfriend that she tells her parents that she

Speaker: 00:28:45

has so that they will leave her alone.

Speaker: 00:28:48

And they'll not try to set her up with people.

Speaker: 00:28:51

And the only problem is appearance or a little.

Speaker: 00:28:55

Baffled, like why haven't they met this dentist's person?

Speaker: 00:28:58

So they're questioning Carrie and they're like, well, what's, what's wrong with

Speaker: 00:29:01

Dennis and why doesn't she bring him around and easy, ugly, or what's going on?

Speaker: 00:29:07

And Carrie's like, oh no, no, he's handsome.

Speaker: 00:29:11

And then semen comes over.

Speaker: 00:29:12

So they kind of stopped talking about that because I don't think

Speaker: 00:29:16

they wanted her to know that they were talking about it that much.

Speaker: 00:29:20

And then, Carrie and SEMA, like are back, in the car going home and.

Speaker: 00:29:26

and SEMA puts his bracelet around Carrie's arm.

Speaker: 00:29:29

And then she tells her that in the Indian culture, it's a custom, and

Speaker: 00:29:33

that I'm giving you this bracelet as a reminder of your strength.

Speaker: 00:29:37

So I thought that was really sweet that she did that because.

Speaker: 00:29:40

At a time like this, Carrie definitely needs to be strong

Speaker: 00:29:43

and she needs her strength and she actually is a strong woman.

Speaker: 00:29:47

And, I'm glad that she's handling everything quite well.

Speaker: 00:29:50

So then they're talking and Carrie says, do you know what SEMA, I hate

Speaker: 00:29:57

the apartment that I live in and seem as like, super cool about it.

Speaker: 00:30:00

And she's like, okay, well you, you should love where you

Speaker: 00:30:03

live and we'll just sell it.

Speaker: 00:30:05

And what's cool is to see, I was like, no big deal.

Speaker: 00:30:09

and Sima was like, oh, it's no big deal where some other realtor might've

Speaker: 00:30:12

been like, but wait a minute, we just sold you this place, you just moved

Speaker: 00:30:16

in, you know, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker: 00:30:19

But she was really cool about it.

Speaker: 00:30:21

But then again, I mean, she is going to get another commission off of Carrie, but.

Speaker: 00:30:25

I don't think she cares about the commission.

Speaker: 00:30:27

I think it's really that she does want Carrie to be happy where

Speaker: 00:30:31

she lives and she doesn't mind finding her a place to live in.

Speaker: 00:30:35

So you guys need a slash Carrie will not be living in downtown by the Hudson river.

Speaker: 00:30:42

So we'll see where she ends up.

Speaker: 00:30:44

She'll probably end up back at our old place.

Speaker: 00:30:46

If not, we'll see.

Speaker: 00:30:47

I don't know.

Speaker: 00:30:48

And it's at that moment, I think when Carrie really realizes how

Speaker: 00:30:52

much she has loved the last 15 years and all of the memories.

Speaker: 00:30:57

And I think that that's not something that she wants to erase after all,

Speaker: 00:31:01

because those are the memories and the memories are what make her carry.

Speaker: 00:31:07

The memories are what make her unique.

Speaker: 00:31:09

And it's not something that she just wants to throw away.

Speaker: 00:31:12

And of course, are there good memories?

Speaker: 00:31:15

And bad memories at the same time.

Speaker: 00:31:17

Absolutely.

Speaker: 00:31:18

But you know what?

Speaker: 00:31:20

The memories are worth cherishing because she's gone through certain

Speaker: 00:31:24

things in life and where she is today is because of those things.

Speaker: 00:31:28

And a lot of the things that she's gone through has given her the strength to

Speaker: 00:31:32

make her, the woman that she is today.

Speaker: 00:31:34

And I'm glad that instead of erasing the past 15 years, she has decided

Speaker: 00:31:39

to embrace the past 15 years because I think that is the adult thing.

Speaker: 00:31:44

Okay, so in the next scene, it is Charlotte again.

Speaker: 00:31:48

So Charlotte is wearing a coral and red Gucci sweater.

Speaker: 00:31:53

That has these, Gucci emblem design on it.

Speaker: 00:31:57

And it has these beautiful gold buttons and she's at home in her daughter's

Speaker: 00:32:03

room and you see her packing up the international doll collection.

Speaker: 00:32:09

And then you also see her daughters are covering up the mural with whatever

Speaker: 00:32:14

it is that they wanted to put up.

Speaker: 00:32:16

And to that, I say good for you, Charlotte, because.

Speaker: 00:32:21

You have to let go of your kids and you have to let them grow up.

Speaker: 00:32:25

They will not be little kids forever.

Speaker: 00:32:28

They're going up into adults.

Speaker: 00:32:30

They're going to be teenagers.

Speaker: 00:32:32

They're going to move away one day.

Speaker: 00:32:33

They may go to college and they're going to get married.

Speaker: 00:32:37

And the thing is you have to start letting go now, because if you don't, it's going

Speaker: 00:32:41

to be way harder for you down the road.

Speaker: 00:32:44

So in the next scene, Miranda's at home and she's folding laundry.

Speaker: 00:32:48

And you know, she's thinking about Shay again and she's like, you know

Speaker: 00:32:53

what, I'm just going to message her.

Speaker: 00:32:56

So what's interesting.

Speaker: 00:32:57

You see her on the phone and she's sending her a message, but it's on Instagram.

Speaker: 00:33:02

She says it's Rambo, let's hang out again.

Speaker: 00:33:05

And if I remember in the previous episode, when Shay left, she said, oh, if you want

Speaker: 00:33:10

to hang out again, send me a message.

Speaker: 00:33:13

Well, what's interesting is that Miranda doesn't even have Shay's phone number.

Speaker: 00:33:18

So if Shea was really into Miranda, You would think that she would have a least

Speaker: 00:33:23

given her a phone number or asked for her phone number or exchange phone numbers?

Speaker: 00:33:29

Why is Miranda reaching out to Shea on Instagram?

Speaker: 00:33:34

Does anyone see a problem with that?

Speaker: 00:33:36

I do, because I feel like Miranda is going to get ghosted and we'll have to

Speaker: 00:33:41

watch what happens on the next episode.

Speaker: 00:33:44

But.

Speaker: 00:33:44

I think that's a little odd.

Speaker: 00:33:46

It might have just been a one-time thing.

Speaker: 00:33:49

Our, I don't know.

Speaker: 00:33:50

We'll see.

Speaker: 00:33:51

I think it's a little weird that you're reaching out to this person

Speaker: 00:33:55

on Instagram, after what happened and you don't even have their phone number

Speaker: 00:33:59

or is this what modern day dating is?

Speaker: 00:34:01

I don't know.

Speaker: 00:34:03

Hopefully not.

Speaker: 00:34:04

All right.

Speaker: 00:34:05

So then.

Speaker: 00:34:06

The episode ends with Carrie.

Speaker: 00:34:09

She is walking down the stairs from her apartment and she's

Speaker: 00:34:14

got this beautiful red dress on.

Speaker: 00:34:17

That's got this flared ballerina tool underneath, and her hair is super

Speaker: 00:34:23

wavy and it's got a lot of volume just like it used to back in the day.

Speaker: 00:34:29

And she's got her stiletto heels on and she's got her Pearl.

Speaker: 00:34:34

And that moment right there reminded me of the carry from back in the day from

Speaker: 00:34:41

sex in the city, when she was wearing those beautiful dresses that were full

Speaker: 00:34:46

at the bottom and her gorgeous shoes.

Speaker: 00:34:50

And she's just always rushing out of her apartment to go somewhere

Speaker: 00:34:54

and at that moment and told me that Carrie has a purpose and I

Speaker: 00:35:00

feel like Carrie's coming back.

Speaker: 00:35:02

And that is good, because from that, I saw that she's getting back to her

Speaker: 00:35:07

old self and she's starting to walk with a lot more confidence, which you

Speaker: 00:35:12

saw in previous episodes went away.

Speaker: 00:35:15

So let's see if Carrie starts dating on the season and I bet she will.

Speaker: 00:35:21

So let's see what happens on the next episode, because there's.

Speaker: 00:35:24

Previews and Carrie's going to be going on some blind dates.

Speaker: 00:35:28

So she's going to be doing some online dating.

Speaker: 00:35:30

Let's see how that goes.

Speaker: 00:35:32

All right.

Speaker: 00:35:32
