It may be blazing hot in seemingly every part of the US right now, but it’s ice-cold in the latest episode of And Just Like That..., which sees a bomb cyclone rip through town and force a whole bunch of weird interactions (including a truly epic Miranda-Steve fight). Not my favorite episode of all time, but it was at least more than mid. Without further ado, let’s dive in, shall we?
- Carrie Bradshaw with a ring light? I never thought I’d see the day.
- I really relate to this journalist (?) being pretty bad at her job and admitting to Carrie that she only Googled her right before the interview. Still, just lie, girl!
- Oh, LOL, this girlie is an influencer.
- Carrie’s book is called Loved and Lost? Okay, Miss Didion!
- I love Miranda’s heart-print PJ set.
- Rock’s Ralph Lauren ad is out!
- I like Lily’s purple hair streak!
- Did Lily just tell her entire family she’s ready to lose her virginity? Gen Z is built different.
- Nicole Ari Parker is genuinely funny, and I like that the show is letting her show it.
- Charlotte is actually handling this virginity thing way better than I would, as sex-positive of a parent as I like to imagine I’ll be someday.
- Seriously, every teenage girl needs to hear “Focus on your pleasure as much as his pleasure,” even if it is absolutely cringe coming from their mom.
- Carrie in an Apple store just reminds me of what a bitch she was to Aidan when her laptop broke in the original series.
- I’m not even an Aidan stan, but I’m still mad about that!
- Aw, Carrie and Seema are spending the summer in the Hamptons!
- Bro, I thought Miranda and Che were semi-over! I like to cling to a dead relationship as much as the next gay person, but give it up, Miranda!
- Oh no, Che’s on Cameo?
- I do think that someone in my life should get me a Che Diaz Cameo.
- Carrie’s going to WidowCon, and I am…bummed out.
- Hey, it’s Rachel Dratch! That helps.
- So, Carrie was writing partners with Rachel Dratch (also confusingly named Carrie or Kerry, I’m not sure) and then flaked on her?
- And also, the movie they were working on was about bridesmaids?
- I’m sorry, why did we not know Carrie had a screenwriter era (beyond that time in LA when her column was optioned)?
- Che smoking a blunt while clutching a bag of Pirate’s Booty like a life raft is, unfortunately, a mood.
- Che is going with Carrie to WidowCon (which is exactly what it sounds like), because…sure.
- OMG, Charlotte mentioned Trey!
- Miranda finds out Steve told Carrie he’s never taking off his wedding ring and resolves to make peace with him.
- Aidan alert! We don’t see him, but we learn he sold his furniture company to West Elm for “quite a pretty penny.” Good enough!
- Also, he’s recently divorced and lives in New Jersey or something.
- Bomb cyclone time! I resisted learning what that was when it actually happened in New York, and I’m not going to do it now.
- Lily is straight-up calling her mom to ask for condoms?
- And is her mom straight-up searching the blizzard-swept streets of New York to bring her condoms?
- Also, Carrie is wearing a truly excellent gigantic puffer coat-dress.
- WidowCon is surprisingly joke-filled, and even Che can’t handle it.
- Carrie bombing brings back fond memories of when she bombed teaching that “how to meet guys” class in the original series (but then made up for it by taking all the girlies to a sports bar to flirt).
- Aw, Lisa’s husband shows up to her interview at MoMA despite the snow (and his campaign event)!
- Charlotte found condoms! And dropped them off! What a good mom (and a more-than-decent Postmate).
- Oh, wow, Miranda is really trying to kick Steve out of their house, and he’s very mad because he built it, and he’s yelling a lot, and it’s…kind of hot?
- I’m sorry, did Steve just tell Miranda she never really wanted her kid?
- Somehow, they go from there to (platonically) cuddling in bed and actually talking about stuff.
- Miranda finds a condom and has the audacity to get mad about it, given the Che of it all.
- Okay, so now Che and Miranda are broken up?
- If this is the last we hear of Che’s sitcom Che Pasa, I will sue.
- CARRIE EMAILED AIDAN!
