We’re officially four episodes into And Just Like That what I can only describe as “a broken-down luxury car of a TV show” – and I, frankly, have never been happier. There’s Che to contend with; Charlotte’s pretty fun this season; Miranda is... slowly losing her grip, but in an interesting way; I don’t hate the side characters who aren’t Samantha; and Carrie is kind of boring now, but it befits her quiet luxury era. Without further ado, let’s dive into the latest installment, shall we?

  1. Why is Carrie Bradshaw’s new book cover... so dark? It’s not War and Peace!
  2. OMG, it’s Candice Bergen, aka Enid! From Vogue! Where I work!
  3. LMAO at Enid getting the “golden parachute” from Condé Nast. Must be nice!
  4. Also, LMAO at her having a “Goop-style” newsletter. I’d read it.
  5. Enid wants Carrie to write for her new online magazine for “women our age”, which seems to bum Carrie out.
  6. Charlotte’s and Lisa’s kids are off to camp and they’re ready to enjoy kid-free summers, which sounds nice. Can I pre-register the child I do not yet have for sleepaway camp?
  7. STEVE! Shirtless and boxing! Miranda... all due respect to Che, but you fumbled this one.
  8. Carrie is wearing a fascinating, tri-cornered-seeming hat that I really want a deep dive on.
  9. Some weird old guy is texting Carrie? IDK.
  10. It has been a long time since I’ve seen a Charlotte-Harry sex scene. Disturbing, but fun.
  11. WHY IS CHARLOTTE WEARING A BRA DURING SEX? I know the answer is “no-nudity clause in contract”, but nobody does this!
  12. Harry faked an orgasm? Hmm.
  13. Hearing Carrie Bradshaw repeatedly say “jizz” is breaking my brain.
  14. Lisa’s husband is mounting a political campaign? Has this always been his job and I just haven’t been paying attention?
  15. Harry and I learn together, in real time, that men have pelvic floors.
  16. Miranda, Steve and Brady are in family therapy, and Brady correctly tells his parents to stop living together now that they’re broken up. Hear that, Chirlane and Bill?
  17. Steve really aged into zaddy territory, didn’t he?
  18. Wait, Che moved to New York? And Hudson Yards, specifically? Naurrrr.
  19. Che’s hot ex-husband is there, hanging with Carrie as Che and Miranda make out.
  20. It’s Victor Garber! Hell yeah, buddy!
  21. Lisa’s husband (Herbert?) never sent out the invitations for their fancy party, so it’s just their parents and Charlotte and Harry and maybe some other people who don’t seem to matter. Oh, and Victor Garber, as aforementioned.
  22. I kind of love that Carrie and Miranda are kicking it red-cup-style with Che and their ex.
  23. Are Miranda and Che going to co-bang Che’s ex?
  24. Victor Garber invites Charlotte to work at his gallery, but she’s not into it.
  25. Lisa is getting roasted for not being a stay-at-home mom like her mother-in-law, and I feel kind of bad for her, because this woman is not joking around.
  26. Okay, as I predicted, Miranda and Che and the ex do indeed bang.
  27. “Poly threesome in Hudson Yards” is not a sentence I had on my episode four bingo card.
  28. Bitsy’s back, baby!
  29. Oh, so it was Bitsy who hooked Carrie up with that weird old guy. Hmm.
  30. OMG, we’re finally addressing the fact that Bitsy’s ex-husband (Nathan Lane) was gay!
  31. Oh damn, that’s literally Gloria Steinem.
  32. I love all these women of a certain age yelling at Carrie.
  33. Carrie’s admired Gloria Steinem her “whole life”? She didn’t even vote, as of the original series?
  34. Wow, Enid is cash-grabbing Carrie for Big (RIP)’s money. I kind of respect?
  35. Enid finds that weird old guy’s dick pic on Carrie’s phone (because Bitsy sent it to her?) and goes, “Are you dating my boyfriend?” Small world!
  36. Weird episode, but I love to see Enid. Maybe I can even write for her lifestyle publication someday.
