Where does the line between cheating and not cheating stands? The four glamorous women from Manhattan discuss the topic while going through their own experiences. Charlotte is having an opening at her gallery, where she walks in on her date making out with another woman. She is intrigued by the "powerful lesbians", a group of well-dressed, successful lesbians with good shoes. She accepts an invitation of dinner from one of them and has a great time on a men-free environment (the G-Spot, the newest, hottest girls club in the city), but soon faces restrictions due to her heterosexuality. Meanwhile, Samantha discovers that her hot personal instructor (that shaved her privates in the shape of a lightening) is giving lightening to other woman. Miranda has a tough time competing with porn when she discovers her date can only have sex while watching porn. And Carrie has trouble revealing to her friends that she is back together – officially – with Mr. Big. Add a recap »

  • Carrie: (to self) I wanted to tell him that I was afraid he could never love me the way I wanted to be loved. I was afraid that maybe he didn't really have the capacity to love anyone but himself. I was afraid that given the chance, he'd break my heart again. But I cheated and just said, (outloud) "I guess I was afraid." edit »
  • Carrie: Well, I think maybe there's a cheating curve. That someone's definition of what constitutes cheating is in direct proportion to how much they themselves want to cheat.
    Miranda: That's moral relativism!
    Carrie: I prefer to think of it as quantum cheating.

    Carrie: Did you cry?
    Big: No, but I did listen to a hellava lot of Sinatra. edit »
  • Charlotte: What are you saying is that a straight woman and a gay woman can't be friends?
    Samantha: Of course, they can, but you can't expect to move to Wonder Woman's island and not go native. edit »
  • Miranda: They know your straight right?
    Chalotte: I'm sure they do, but we don't even talk about sex, it's a non-issue.
    Miranda: You have to tell them, otherwise your just leading them on.
    Samantha: That's right, your nothing more than a big clit tease. edit »
