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

Really enjoyed this episode. A return to form.

My Mr Big does. He buys me lovely shoes - completely unexpectedly lovely ones. He knows I love shoes so indulges me.

He is also very straight 🤷‍♀️ And a keeper.

Thanks I found it, that was a nice nostalgic watch/listen

Dolly Wells has been the absolute best thing of this whole mess.

Oh this was a fantastic episode and it seemed to be the end of the series and I wonder if they planned that. To be no 10

then decided as no s4 they would add on 11&12 to end it all

shame no s4. This was the best series - maybe she shouldn’t get paid a million per Episode and it could continue

Brady going to be a dad. Miranda and steve as gp. Loved the farting pregnant lady and the water over Miranda

unless not his kid ……. She said she was the bunk ups mum. Or similar

Not I’m Brady’s mum . So might not be his in the end

Charlotte with her pain of cancer and needing to chat /express

sure I said weeks ago she would shag him

thr way he talked to the shoes reminds me of someone in a film. And I can’t think who

possibly the gay one in the wedding film with Rupert and Julia - my best friends wedding

at the end I was omg Carrie what are you doing saying no. Then she changed her mind

he has a nice body and she needed they after dickhead aiden

a totally fake hamster 😂

the gardener Adam. His love for him mums plant but more for seema. Replanting and Saying she has him in her life. I swooned

wanking over the puppet. It was comical but fabulous

Herbert lost but can have cheese again

a lovely watch on Friday night and leads to the app tomorrow eh @Netaporter 😂

🤣 Herbert can have cheese again

They ordered pizza 😂

I thought where was all Carrie's shoes, that little cupboard type room was not "Carrie" at all. I thought Duncan was a bit odd when he called the shoes "She" and talked to them, very effeminate.
Thought when Carrie ran into his arms was a bit over the top and why did she have to sleep with him. Also if they had stayed in a relationship they would be doing all that writer speak all the time so boring.
I noticed how smooth SJP's neck was and her skin in general is lovely for her age, but if I was getting a cool million per episode perhaps my skin would be lovely and smooth.
Great to see Steve that scene was very realistic. Mia is awful and I hope it turns out not to be Brady's baby.
Selma and the plant was so annoying and predictable. The gardener does have Mummy issues. Anthony has a fabulous bum for his age. The room mate was so creepy yuk. Don't know why Giuseppe didn't realise he was an old queen.
I never liked Big and could never understand why Carrie loved him so much and since all this has come out with Chris Noth I find him extra creepy in The good Wife and looking back to his episodes in SITC.
Sorry its ending because what are we going to pick apart next? When do we see such fabulous and some times strange outfits? (Clown suit).

I feel like they’ve been cancelled rather than made the decision to end- so I’m expecting a lot of loose ends and storylines that go nowhere for the final two eps.

Definitely cancelled, I think.
The unfunny deo storyline being carried to 2 episodes showed just how tapped out the writers were.
I liked Duncan and Carrie together. Pity.

This series has been the best, if the first 2 had been like this instead of all about the Che character then I think it wouldn’t have got cancelled.

Wonder if they managed to persuade Kim cattrall to make a final Samantha cameo Since it’s the end of the series ?

If it were MPKs decision to end it, I doubt they would have wasted a whole episode on Charlotte missing a Zoom call. What kind of storyline is that?

The whole writing of this series has been baffling. Some really good moments and some total misses. Charlotte needing to talk to someone about Harry's cancer, yes. Missing a zoom call because her obnoxious daughter is tap dancing outside her bedroom, why?!?! I just don't understand the decisions behind it at all.

The Charlotte zoom call was to show how she doesn’t get time to herself. The pivot to her being upset (when she had space at Carrie’s) was also a back reference to when she used Carrie’s apartment for some time out - if you remember that? A safe space for Charlotte.

In fact, this series of AJLT has really referenced so much classic SATC, right down to Carrie’s outfits and I’m hoping that the final two episodes go out on a high, full of reflection and back references. I’d like to be in tears by the end of the final episode for the right reasons, not the wrong like after Ep1, S1 of AJLT 😮

Charlotte is an absolute doormat for her children to wipe their feet on. I hate this whole martyr mom thing that she and LTW do, pandering to their entitled families. LTW reminds me of Marge Simpson putting up with loud, annoying Homer.

Mia is apparently Ben Stiller's daughter. I think they will find out the baby isn't Brady's.

Getting into the Culinary Institute of America is incredibly hard, but of course Brady has managed it with seemingly zero effort!

Yeah Charlotte could pay for therapy herself without having to bid for it in an auction!

Maybe they want to see an outpouring of love for AJLT rather than criticism before recomissioning. 🤨

I didn’t buy Carrie and Duncan together so I’m glad he’s not hanging around. Don’t think there was any real connection there apart from being writing buddies. I think Brady will be off the hook and he won’t be the father.
I wonder how it will all tie up for Carrie…back to being single and dating or just single??

But that would involve her actively taking some for herself which she doesn’t do, she didn’t intend to win it; no one else bid. Been there!

I am not sure how to. It's on her own Instagram page. I've circled the picture you need to click onto.

Hoping she will be in London. Sitting at a restaurant waiting on Samantha who I know we won't see but that's how I'd like it to end. Oh and her back in her apartment after buying it back from Lisette or Linette. Can't recall her name.

They will never beat the feeling of the end of the original series, where we find out Mr Big is really called John.
It was proper event television.

Great SATC finale ! Charlotte and Harry walking with Elizabeth Taylor's cute puppies.
Magda kissing Miranda on the firehead after she bathes Steve's mum. 😢
Samantha and Smith having sex.
And the glorious music! Think it was Florence and the Machine?

Does anyone have any reccos of fun series to watch with 50 something women? Something uplifting. Not moany.

Ive just noticed theres a series on sky comedy called divorced with SJP in. She's getting a divorce and her single friends help adjust to single life. It came out in 2016 but I have never seen it advertised until this morning.

I might give that a go.

Have seen it. SJP is very good but it's very black comedy, nothing like SATC. More like real life with money worries, terrible jobs, awful housing....😀
