Carrie is very proud of herself, again, some more, as she has "cooked" for Big. She means that she made fondue. She melted cheese and tore bread into pieces. What, no meat or veg? Oh, right. It's Carrie. They each have one bite, make polite "mmm" noises, then agree that the fondue is awful. Big is all, "Can we go to a restaurant now?" Hee. Carrie says she hasn't told any of her friends that she's seeing Big again. Big says he hasn't told any of his "interested parties" yet either. And "that's a good idea. Let's keep it quiet." Carrie is all, okaaay. Now that she knows he's keeping it quiet, it's not so much fun, is it.
The morning, Carrie does the walk of shame back to her place. I really prefer calling it the "walk of fame." I mean, why be down on yourself just because you got laid. There's no reason. Just be all, yay, I'm walking home after getting some! Whoops, there's Miranda, with a newspaper and coffee. Carrie says she's in the 'hood getting a teeth cleaning. And how's the documentary filmmaker guy? Still addicted to porn, says Mir. She thought it was "sexy at first, but now it's borderline humiliating." Yeah, I wouldn't stand for it as a regular part of the lovemaking routine (and I realize the implications of the word "routine" -- just relax) either. It's too cheesy, for one thing. And, like Mir says, isn't the real thing enough? Car says it's probably "just force of habit." Mir says it feels like he's cheating on her with the girls in the tapes while he has sex with her. Jeez. And you're still doing the guy? Mir comments that Car is "kind of dressed up for the dentist," and Car says, "Laundry day!" They part ways, and Carrie feels bad for lying to Miranda. Then she feels bad for "cheating on [Mir] and all [Carrie's] friends" by seeing Big behind everyone's backs. But doesn't it make it more fun that way? More sexy and alive-feeling? That's what you said at the beginning of the show!
Sam makes out with her trainer guy. She admits to feeling like a cliché, and bets he sleeps with all his clients. He says, "No, but it's always been a fantasy." He suggests they shower first.
Behind the fogged glass, he compliments Sam's legs. She says if she knew she was going to be doing "this," she would have shaved them. He offers to shave them for her. And he "keeps on shaving."
In Carrie's kitchen, the girls make themselves martinis. Sam asks what's the dealie-o with the guys wanting to shave your pubes all the livelong day, now. Mir says it's because men want "a little girl." Sam says it was more like being "branded," since the trainer shaved her pubes in the shape of a lightning bolt. Oh, man. Sam pontificates about how you used to be able to let your pubic hair "grow wild," but now "so much attention" is paid to that area, and there's even a whole industry dedicated to the maintenance of these things. Yup. This is so before they mentioned the Brazilian bikini wax, yes? The best thing I ever read about one of those was in Vogue, when a writer described getting one done and never realizing before the elaborate "pleating" that existed in her pubic area. God, "pleats"! That is so great. Carrie is still in the bathroom and asks that the two women get the door. It's Char, gussied up to go out with her new PL friends later. Sam asks if they know Char is straight. Char is all, "Can a gay woman and a straight woman be friends?" Sam says, "You can't move to Wonder Woman Island and not expect to go native." Hee. Does an invisible plane and a truth lasso come with that move? Mir says Char will be "leading them on; a big clit tease." They move toward her seriously, ominously. Then Carrie emerges from the bathroom. It's her new diaphragm. It's stuck. And one of them has to help her get it out. Mir tells Char, the lesbian, to get in there. Of course Sam ends up doing it. And she just had her nails done!
