Cut to Carrie walking over to Miranda and telling her that it's time for them to leave because the politician is hitting on her. Miranda tells her Samantha went home with dumb Ricky, and when they look around to find Charlotte, they see her in the middle of the dance floor with a Staten Island Ice Tea in her hand, dancing and singing along with the seventies song that is playing. Oh, those wacky drinks! What will they make Charlotte do ?

The three of them are on the ferry, and Charlotte is swinging around a pole, telling Miranda and Carrie that she thinks she is pretty and smart, and she's all, "I'm a catch!" Carrie agrees with her, and Charlotte then tells Carrie that she is going to meet the perfect guy and get married. Charlotte then hangs over the edge of the ferry and yells out that she is going to get married this year. Miranda tells Carrie, "If she falls over, I will never stop laughing." Neither will we, Miranda. Carrie holds onto Charlotte's coat so she doesn't fall off the ferry. In this scene, you can see that Carrie is wearing an aqua and white striped top, pink pants with huge cuffs, and gold lamé go-go boots. Egads! Carrie was making fun of the music being twenty years behind in Staten Island, but she sure seems to be dressing twenty years behind.

Meanwhile, back at Samantha's house of lust, she and dumb Ricky are going at it, and he is tossing her around while she is yelling in ecstasy. I'm hoping her eyes are closed during this, because I would not want to see the "sex feels good" looks that appear on dumb Ricky's face.

The morning the gang is at a restaurant having breakfast, and Charlotte has a nasty hangover. Samantha wants to tell them all about how wet she got and how big Ricky's cock is. They tell her they don't want to hear about it until cocktail hour. Cock, cocktail hour -- oh, the sassy dialogue! Samantha tells them that Ricky fulfilled her fantasy, and Charlotte says she thinks it is wrong to sleep with a man to fulfill a fantasy. Well, what if your fantasy is just to get laid? Would sleeping with someone be wrong then? Samantha explains to us all that all the men they sleep with fulfill a certain fantasy. For Charlotte it is a man with a nice apartment and big stock portfolio, for Samantha it is a fireman with a big hose. Yeah, and a voice like Mike Tyson, and a face that has seen the receiving end of the ugly stick. Miranda then asks why firemen are always so cute. I guess Miranda's eye-sight wasn't that good standing close to the stage either. Carrie tells her it's the hero thing, and that they have an "I'm a good guy" look in their eyes. Charlotte announces that "it's because really women just want to be rescued." The three of them stare at her and the voiceover says, "There it was. The sentence independent single women in their thirties are never supposed to think, let alone say out loud." Before I go any further, I refuse to believe that Samantha is only in her thirties. I'll give her thirty-nine, but nothing less. If she is younger, I guess all that time being the city bicycle has really aged her. ["Kim Cattrall is forty-three." -- Sars] So Charlotte looks at the girls and is all, "I'm sorry but it's true. I've been dating since I was fifteen. I'm exhausted. Where is he?! My hair hurts." Girlfriend, nothing looks promising when you are hanging over, let alone your love life. Have some crackers and a ginger ale, and buck up, little camper! Charlotte puts her head down on the table. Carrie tells them that she thinks that maybe they are the white knights, and they have to save themselves.
