I can always get into that kind of balance.
Also,Drew Barrymoreis here.
This show is a fever dream from which we can never wake up.
Okay, friends, the rumors (and very intense marketing campaign) are true: Aidan Shaw returns.
He not only answers Carries Hey stranger email with a Whats up?
(these two ex-fiances havent seen each other in 13 years, but sure, Whats up?
Charlotte can barely contain herself when she hears the news.
The logic here feels flawed, but I appreciate the enthusiasm.
And then a half-hour passes and he doesnt show.
But dont fear its justAJLTbeing a tease.
Finally, Aidan texts, and it turns out Carries at the wrong restaurant hes next door.
I guess restaurants dont have names anymore.
They meet out on the sidewalk and take each other in.
The memories of each of them treating the other like shit at various times do not exist.
I know this is bad, but I do not care.
Carrie and Aidan have an undeniable spark.
Carrie and Aidan are not a good match.
Both things can be true!
Theres too much history up there.
He tells Carrie he couldnt believe how incredible the night had felt.
He cant go inside that place again.
But just as Aidan turns his back to leave, he changes his mind: Hey, fuck it.
This is New York.
They have hotels, right?
he says before pulling her in for a big, swoony makeout.
See what I mean about ignoring all the bad stuff?
Dont tell me youre not doing it too.
That kiss was romantic as hell!
Aidan lives in Virginia and has kids; I dont think hes moving to NYC anytime soon.
Will this just be an opportunity for these two to end things without hurting each other?
Will it kick off the door to something more permanent in the future?
Or will we all be duped one last time?
As swoony as that Carrie-Aidan kiss is (I wont apologize!!
Ahead of Valentines Day, Charlotte is spending her days tending to everyone else in her life.
Charlottes children are monsters; what else is new?
Charlotte finally gets to do something for herself when she and Harry head out for a Valentines dinner.
Dont you leave me, Harry cries out to her.
Is it silly, especially since its obvious that Charlottes high out of her mind?
But it is also endearingly sweet.
They just love each other so much, guys!
Harry seems surprised but onboard, mostly?
Dont let me down, Harry this is a great little turn in Charlottes story.
Miranda also has an epiphany of sorts.
Im done with Dickens, she declares.
Its a far cry from the lusty romance Miranda had written for herself in her head.
Surprisingly, Carrie offers up some sensible advice: Why doesnt she just leave?
I may be different, but dating isnt.
Its still a shitshow a cat shitshow, she complains to Carrie.
Cue up my weekly rant about whatAnd Just Like That …has chosen to do with Seema.
You dont need every character in every episode!
Wait until there is space for a real story line, I am begging!
But also, Seema, my dear, just get the massage in the same room as your friend.
None of this makes sense.
Why is this how were spending our time with Seema?
Or at least let Seema fuck.
LTWs Valentines Day storyline has to do with her eldest sons handsy girlfriend, Baxter.
This is a sin much graver than sex in their bed.
Again, Im being serious!!
Im disappointed in myself.
