Carrie wonders why she has never become friend with an ex-boyfriend, and decides that if she must start with someone, that someone mind as well be Mr. Big. She calls him up for inviting him over for a dinner, where he breaks the news that he's proposed to his new girlfriend, Natasha. Shocked, Carrie storms out of the restaurant, shouting and yelling about how with her he had a commitment problem for two years, but had found no difficulties on proposing to what's-her-name after five months. Meanwhile, the other gals try to find friends themselves. After running away (literally) from Steve, Miranda receives a visit from him in her place and ends up in bed with him – they're friends who have sex. Charlotte tries to become friends with a horse and overcome her trauma caused by her best friend – a horse – who threw her from his back when she was a child. And Samantha faces a challenge: she meets a man with a huge penis. So big that she isn't sure she can make it. When the doubt becomes a certain, she proposes they stay just friends – for the safety of her own vagina! Add a recap »

  • During the scene where Samantha attempts to have sex with Mr. Cocky for the second time ("after 2 advance yoga classes and a hit of the best hawaiian gold she could find"), you can clearly see that she is wearing flesh colored panties. edit »

    Mr. Big: Hey, Blood, Sweat and Tears is great stuff.
    Carrie: Ten minutes after we're awake? edit »

    Steve: What do you call showing up at your apartment in the middle of the afternoon and calling you shitty?
    Miranda: Yeah, that was pretty shitty! edit »

  • Carrie: Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.
    This is a quote from the movie The Way We Were, In the film, Katie and Hubbell fall in love despite their political and social differences and get married. Hubbell has an affair, leading Katie to see that Hubbell is not the person that she idealized and admired when she fell in love with him, and they decide to part ways. Years later they accidentally meet on the streets of New York City. With Hubbell is a beautiful woman who exemplifies the WASP ideal. Katie and Hubbell share a tender moment where it is clear that he is hurt that they are no longer together and believes that he was at his best when he was with her and feels that no one will believe in him or see as much promise in him as Katie did. They leave each other with fond memories of "the way they were." edit »
