Aidan’s son Wyatt is acting like a spoiled brat and injures himself in the process. Carrie realises that this will put the brakes on Aiden moving to live with her as he can’t be away from his sons. IMHO this will either break them up or Carrie will move to Virginia. Cue the bed hopping chicken laying eggs in her bed lol

I don't really see why they bothered with the LTW storyline. I get it, women frequently have to choose between their careers and motherhood but I feel like we were seeing that angle from her anyway?

Agree! She was just going to go ahead with it but it was like she had a gun to her head.

the way that Che just had to make herself the victim in the Miranda exchange with wah wah wah she has to constantly explain to people WHO SHE IS. I strained my eyes rolling them so hard.

maybe she’ll whine to Aidan about his kids and he’ll go OFF on her a La Steve, reminding her that not everything is about her and sometimes we can’t have what we want…or he’ll palm responsibility for the boys off on Cathy and then she’ll drop the bomb she’s dying…
 
What was Aiden talking about "forcing" Carrie to sigh a lease on the apartment next to her one?
He started to knock the two apartments into one bigger apartment for them to both live in, how the ever loving duck can anyone knock down walls in rented apartments? Wouldn't the landlord loose their tit at a tenant doing that.
Have the writes of this shitshow ever watched the original SATC, it's seems like they never bothered.
At this point the only redeeming thing about the show is Mario Cantone and that award worthy acting of Richard Burton.
 
Oh wow, this week!
Che's comedy routine was absolutely brutal (and also not funny but then it is Che). If Miranda hadn't been there, would Carrie and Aidan have just sat chuckling at it? Che knew Carrie was going, presumably. I'd be livid if one of my friends was getting ripped like that in front of me. Also, why is Che dating this child? Honestly, that Toby looks about 19 and Che's meant to be in their 50s? Nope.
Aidan is clearly going to go back to Virginia without Carrie, as well he should because his child is clearly struggling with some pretty serious mental health issues (I honestly thought it was going to be a suicide attempt rather than an accident because the kid was driving drunk, and I guess it could still go that way?
I enjoyed drunk Charlotte and her family need to back off a bit and sort their own tit out, I was not repeatedly calling or bugging my mum for anything as a teenager.The Sam Smith cameo was mercifully short. Really liked the artwork they bought though.
I'm also chuffed for Steve and his Coney Island business, feels very him. I would just love for him to get back with Debbie. :)
The LTW pregnancy thing was a real missed opportunity, come on, she clearly wasn't feeling the pregnancy, why can't we have a smart, well-done storyline about a financially secure, married mother who just doesn't want any more kids? I know it's a hot button topic but this is HBO, ffs. The cop-out miscarriage is such a tired television trope.
I did laugh at Nya's spite baby-buggy purchase.
I don't like Seema with the movie director guy. He seems like a bellend to be honest. I think they're just rushing it to give her a happily ever after.
The Stanford as a monk storyline is ridiculous, but it was a really moving scene because you could see the emotion written all over their faces, particularly SJP's. It looked like she was really struggling not to cry and I thought it was a nice little nod to the loss of Willie Garson without killing Stanford off.
I suspect Carrie will have the spare seat at the last supper and get the call from Samantha just before it starts, something like "I hear there's a seat going at dinner?" We know Carrie has sold the apartment to Lisette now so I guess no going back so she'll be rattling about in the Gramercy Park place all alone?
 
They can keep trying to rewrite the past and force Carrie and Aidan together, but it seems pointless and their chemistry is really off. It would have been much better for the show to have her falling in love with somebody new - learning about them, learning about herself. With Aidan a history was already there which made it boring and lazy. Nothing really developed in their relationship.

How do we know Samantha is making a comeback?

Kim Cattrall has talked about it on her SM, the network basically went over the head of MPK and SJP and waved a tit-tonne of money at her. She agreed to do it if her scenes were filmed solo and she didn't have to see or be in a room with any of the other cast members. It's basically been established that the scene is a phone call between her and Carrie.
 
Just watched it. Honestly it feels like this show is gasping its last.

Sorry but I'm sick of it worshipping at the altar of all the "queer" and non binary stuff, I feel like I should be apologising for being a straight woman. I almost kicked the tv screen in when the gallery manager (if she is the manager?) curtseyed to Sam Smith 😒 Che is beyond self absorbed and vile and I'm glad Miranda had her eyes opened, even though what Che passed off as comedy was so hurtful. I'd like to think it opened Carrie's eyes too

Actually really pleased for Steve and I hope his new venture is a great success, don't know why Miranda felt she should know about it though?

Seema- so what? Also agree with others re: LTW, could have been an interesting story for her but it's like the writers thought hmm, only one episode left, let's take the easy way out of this

I know they had to find a way for Stanford to be completely written out of the picture but really?! I'm not going to elaborate for those who haven't seen it, I'll leave it for you to watch it first hand

If I never saw this drippy version of Aiden on television again, I'd be delighted. Can't see Carrie getting her happy ever after
