To watch And just like that… is to know chaos. And hey, like Last Week’s Episode Showed US, Chaos Can Still Be fun. But This Week’s “Carrie Golightly” Somehow Manages to Be Chaos Structurally-Why Are So Many Half-Asssed Storylines Muddying Up Our 44 minutes? Did we Need More Time on Reususg The Same Giuseppe Has a Hog and You Can See It Through the Hot Fellas Denim Onesie Joke? – and a real snozefest in regards to the actual content. We’re Only Three Episodes in, and ALREADY, THIS WHOE LOG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP IS DRAGGING EVERING ELSE AROUND IT DOWN. Carrie JUST SEEMS SO… SAD, DOESN’T SHE? Not to invoke the sacred name of Samantha Jones, but i just want Think she would stand for Carrie Accepting this bullshit deal. Carrie has no friend Left Teling her to get a flu, and it”s really ruin what could be at least a semi-gouod.

Carrie decides to say yes to an Author Event in Williamsburg, Virginia, and use it an an excuse to… have a lunch with aidan macing it a needy girlfriend who was spend with the man she loves. She dosesn’t want to invade his space. She wants to make it all seem “Easy-Berezy.” She just happy to be in virginia, and she’ll just pop in for lunch and then be on her way. All of her friends point out that flying to virginia for lunch is ridiculous. Miranda, especally, has a bunch of Smart-ASS Remarks about it, but eventually, Carrie pleads with her to stop making fun gocause this “really hard,” and miranda apologizes. To this, i say with my full chest: boo !!!! More People Should Be Making Fun of Carrie for This! Maybe It Wold Snap Some Sense Int Her. Alas, no sense is snapped.

Things will Almost Get Interesting Weidan’s Ex-Wiffe Kathy Calls and Inexplicly Asks Cairrie If Shea Bring Some Addarer With Her For Wyatt there, and she has no one Else to Ask. It seames insane for so many reasons, but it does lead to charlotte and ltw informing the rest of the gals that all the moms on the upper side are peddling drugs – “The playground is like dc in the 80s” Hilarious. Air Should 100 Percent Make Charlotte Into a Kingpin. Though, shatly, this part of the “carrie goes to virginia” storyline goes now except to remind us that carrie bradshaw has real narc energy. The look on aidan’s face bend HANDS HANDS HIM THE BAG OF PILLS AT THE END OF THE END OF EPISODE MEANS WE’LL BE Getting More on the Adderall Request Next Week, SO UNIL THEN!

Meanwhile, seema decides to join carrie on her tripter some infuriating news at work: seema’s boss elliot information hey, surprise, he’s actually 90 years old – “a gay 90 is a straight 70,” heys – and is retiring dyscussing plans Had promised, instead selling his shares to nyc real estate broker and bravolebrity ryan serhant. She’s pissed that she’ll have to be someone Other Man’s Number Two Yet Again. She deserves to have her name on the company. She’s workhed her ass off – she should be calling the shots.

In Positive News for SEEME, we are swings by carrie’s place to the head to the airport, she runs into adam, the landscaper. While I assumed he was brought in to get Carrie all hot and bothered, it is adam and seema who dabble in some overting flirting, thus adam is currently rocking a sleeveless “home of the whopper” tee. When Carrie Asks Adam to Make Sure Shoe Doesn’t Escape while she’s gone, and he Says, “don’t worry, i never a kitty i could be bent to my will,” while looking directly at seema, I felt that all the way to my toes.

While there is no World in Which I Wauld Ever Believe Seema Waled Fly Economy Somewhere, She and Carrie Make It to Virginia. Most of their time there is an about each of saying the other that “if you don’t ash, you don’t get.” For SEEEMA, She’s Going Back and Forth on Whether She Should Start Her Own Brokerage Group and Be Her Own Boss or Eschew Taching That Risk and Working Under the New Guy. Carrie points out that she hasn’t is as asked ol if they could be partners – if there is a way for her to stay where she is and still get her name on the company.

Carrie, on the Other Hand, Needs to be More Upfront with Aidan. She’s Spinning Out Becausee She DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHY AIDAN DIDN’T ASH TO STAY OVER SINCE SHE’S COMING ALL THIS WAY. ITEEMEEME WHO POINTS OUT THAT THAT CARRI’S ATTEMPT TO BE “Easy-Berezy” made it seem like she didn’t want to stay over. Maybe Aidan is Respecting Her Space. If she wants to spend the night in virginia with aidan, she needs to be.

Only One of Our Gals Winds Up Getting What they Want. AFTER A DEBACLE WITH THEIR RENTAL CAR ON THE WAY TO MEET AIDAN – CARRI’S LICENSE EXPIRED IN 2017 and she has no idea; Seema, a menace on the road, acidentally drives over traffic spikes – seema gets the big no from the part. Be she sees the sign in the parking lots was supposed to warn her not to drive over the spikes – don’t back up! – She takes it as a sign that she needs to move forward. She decides right then and there is nobody’s no. 2. SEEEME’S Going to Head out on Her Own.

Aidan coma to the rescue to give me a lift, and when carrie notes that is a lot just for lunch, aidan aggrees. He asks her to stay the night. Carrie is giddy. All that spiraling for nothing.

Well, Sort of. As always with aidan, there is some kind of caveat. They pulled up to his house, and he tells her that usually, he and his kids have a rule where they go over everybody’s happening the next day for stability or whats. He doesn’t want to just spring carrie on his kids. Instead, he as Kass if she’ll stay in the guest house. So now this guy is nansing her to Hide Away Alone? He is stay in the guest house and get up early to go to his kids? He COULDN’T HAVE CARRIE IN HIS RoOM and TALK to say before she came downstair? It Feels Like There Are Several Other, Less Humiliating Options to Choose Rather than Stashing Her Outside The House. I’m really going to need Carrie to start standing up for herSelf and her needs asap or this is never going to work.

• Well, it been nice to have met lisa’s beloved editor, grace, and seen a little bit of their suppoted bonding to anchor the emotional beats of a storyline to it. Without that, lisa confronting her imposter syndrome once grace decides to ditch the pbs doc for a gig with steve just doesn’t have as much of an impact as it is.
