All welcome! spoilers allowed on ep release day once the ep is up in the UK.

@8misskitty8 , Yes, that bit about Aiden and Carrie having 20 years "together" was mad! Also. did you hear Carrie and Anthony, when he told her not to tell Gia he's been married before? Carrie said, don't tell her I was married before. She's really trying to erase Big. And I detect a bit of Big-like energy in Duncan - the slight aloofness whilst also being twinkly and flirtatious. I really don't like the way Carrie behaves towards Miranda, and Miranda being so try hard and happy to receive crumbs of friendship from Carrie.

But now wondering how old Anthony is !

Mario Cantone is 65.

Seema and the gardener, I bet he’s actually rich.

I actually hope they don't go down the road of Seema being "rescued" by a wealthy man. I loved Garden Guy singing Betty Davis Eyes to her and her very genuine reaction to him.

I love the gardener. Seems will love that he doesn’t take her shit. He’s funny and twinkly. Probably well off enough, didn’t he do a famous persons landscaping?

Carrie is a brat. Poor Miranda for saying what the rest of us are thinking.

I really want this Miranda to come back and tell Carrie that the Aiden situation is ridiculous and he's a prat.

Quite a fun episode. Might be the first time we've ever seen Seema smile! Ooh that gardener is nice....

The karaoke stuff was cringe but thank the Lord we didn't get a girlie sing-along. The cheerleading was so out of character for Miranda. Excellent jumpsuit though

Lily is a PITA but I couldn't agree more with 'girls just want to be left alone!' 🤣

Good to see Bitsy again 😊 very sad news about the actress

Miranda clearly hit a nerve with her teasing about Duncan. Hopefully Carrie will eventually shag him and will probably tearfully confess all to Aidan, and he will have act like it's the end of the world despite having the BRASS NECK to have shagged his ex the other week! Aidan might chuck her and then we can all throw a party 🎉

But for now, lets give it up for another Aidan-free episode 👏

Do you want to raise my blood pressure??! I hated the way Carrie always threw Steve in Miranda's face - as if bloody Carrie would have put up with a moment of what Miranda put up with from Steve. And always when she knew she was being unreasonable over Big and was starting back up with him - or rather, that she never, ever finished with him.

Really enjoyed this episode.

Spoilers

Funniest part was when Miranda told Charotte about Richard Burton, and Charlotte said "that would almost be worse" and then when Charlotte told Harry, he said "that would almost be worse for you" lolol. Love them as a couple.

Loved all the Anthony moments. Would have liked a scene where Giuseppe was calming Anthony down over his mother (though my connection kept cutting out - was watching using a VPN from France - so there may have been one). Will rewatch when back home.

I think Carrie is starting to realise her days with Aidan are running out and is getting defensive over it. But poor Miranda didn't deserve that.

I thought that was a good episode too.

Just watched. Haven’t read thread today but just wanted to splurge my uninfluenced thoughts.

1. I enjoyed this episode.
2. Great that Miranda challenged Carrie.
3. Miranda was otherwise cringe.
4. Loved the sexy chemistry for Seema.
5. Lily is such a brat. I would have made her stay home not ruin the party.
6. Duncan was more sexy tonight and there was definitely a little spark between he and Carrie.
7. Oh and edited to say, is this the first view of Carrie’s walk-in wardrobe in the house?

65 ! He looks amazing. Hot fella indeed !

WTF does Duncan smoke a pipe? A PIPE? The actor is 57 FFS.

Because that's what hoity toity British Gentlemen do when they are not eating mutton!

Good to see Bitsy again 😊 very sad news about the actress

Wait, what happened to her? I had a quick Google and she's still alive.

What??????
Carrie forgave Aidan immediately for sleeping with someone else?? I don’t get it? And then he implied that he wouldn’t do the same? Wtf?

I loved that episode. It was good.

Don't try to make sense this writers' mess. Carrie's gone from surprising everyone with her disdain for Aiden thinking she'd be faithful, to being hostile towards her best friend for noticing her flirtation with a bloke she's clearly attracted to, and offended that Miranda is not taking her relationship with Aiden seriously. It's completely contradictory - or quintessentially Carrie!

Crazy!
And who would wait 5 years to be with someone???
God it’s ridiculous (but I’ll still
continue to watch).

'Good to see Bitsy again 😊 very sad news about the actress

Oh so she is! I could have absolutely sworn that I heard she had died a few months ago. Sorry Julie 🤦🏻‍♂️

Was to be one of my points! Ick!

I enjoyed that episode! I especially like the confusion with Richard Burton 😂

I felt bad for Miranda, one minute they were joking and the next Carrie just turned on her for stating the glaringly obvious.

did Carrie tell any of them Aidan slept with Kathy?

This would have been an episode of SATC. She would have shared this over breakfast. Carrie is weird now.

I liked the Charlotte/Harry ‘that would be worse for you’ lines, the personal shopper, Bitsy, Joy, LTW’s camp singing son and Rock not being an arsehole.

I got carrie being a cow to Miranda as she doesnt want to face the truth re the hand licker but I don’t get that there is any way on earth that writer dude would not weep with disgust at that ‘writing’. He’s a globally famous biographer ffs. i also agree with Seema always wearing brown. also the line re carries marriage. I get the cancelling of Chris Noth but not the character (surely people get they are not the same). It just leaves a sour taste as Aidan is such an absolute bellend

Anyone else think Seema and hot gardener should get together and go into business together as well - buying and renovating properties with gardens

Carrie is really weird now. All over everyone else’s business but suddenly coy about her own. I suspect she’s embarrassed about taking up with icky controlling man-baby Aiden again and all his ‘conditions’ and double standards. If she starts talking about it the reality will hit. He clearly still resents and on a deeper level hates her.

Agree re Seema and brown. My first thought was oh no not brown again! But she does look good I. It. However imagine her in turquoise! Bad styling.
