Samantha is bored until she sees Farmer Luke and she decides to ask if she can borrow some milk and they end up sleeping together.

  • When Carrie goes out to get some "real food" she goes to a place called Frozen Cup and gets a hamburger. This scene was actually filmed in Bellerose, NY. The place is really called Frozen Cup, but they don't sell Hamburgers. edit »
  • Aidan's country house is located in Suffern, NY - a town that is portrayed as being in the middle of nowhere. In reality, Suffren has a population of over 10,000 and is located in a densely populated area of Rockland County, NY. The same is true of Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ - also mentioned in the episode. In fact, if Carrie REALLY traveled from Suffren to Rockland county, she would have passed a number of towns, all of which are busy and really - look like one big strip mall.

    To find an area as rural as the one portrayed in this episode that is northeast of the city, one would have to travel to Eastern Orange or Sullivan County, NY.
