We’re just one episode away from the And Just Like That… Season 2 finale, and if God is merciful, Season 3 will come swiftly so that I don’t have to spend too much time away from these horrible, wonderful women. Said women are in rare form this week, with Carrie considering her stepmom responsibilities, Charlotte blowing off her mom guilt long enough to party with her work friends, Miranda just generally being a mess, Seema getting laid, Nya getting storyline-shafted as usual, and more. Let’s dive into Episode 10, Part 1, shall we?
- Hey, it’s the Coney Island boardwalk!
- Hey, it’s Steve on the Coney Island boardwalk! I forgot he and Aidan are bros.
- Aidan’s bratty son Wyatt FaceTimes and refers to his mother as a “dick,” which…have some respect! That’s Midge from Mad Men you’re talking about!
- I want to eat at Steve’s hot-dogs-and-clams bar very badly. No, this isn’t a euphemism.
- IS THAT SAM SMITH? Is Charlotte selling them a painting?
- Are these women really going to sit there and pretend zucchini chips are good?
- Charlotte being pissed off to get calls from her kids during brunch is fondly reminding me of my mom (who would also be pissed).
- Okay, I wasn’t paying attention, I’ll admit, and now I think the girls are at…Eataly or something?
- Oh right, Lisa is pregnant!
- God, hearing her say “I thought it was finally my time” is heartbreaking.
- Seems like a good time to mention that most people who get abortions are mothers already!
- We need to stop propping up the societally endorsed lie that Che Diaz is good at comedy.
- Finally, gay sex scene!
- Oh, Anthony, so hung up on top/bottom politics. Get a little vers with it, babe!
- Damn, Seema’s getting laid! Good for you, queen.
- Wait, Carrie’s cute neighbor is getting her apartment?
- Okay, this British woman who has Italian greyhounds instead of kids is kind of iconic.
- Is Miranda wearing CJR?
- Nope, according to my brilliant colleagues it’s Oscar de la Renta.
- Once again, no good storyline for Nya.
- Che smoking a blunt at home alone while watching their own standup is kind of a mood.
- Finally, someone brings up the concept of abortion to a pregnant woman who clearly feels conflicted about having another kid! She doesn’t want one, which is great and valid, but I’m glad it’s at least being treated like an option.
- Whoa, a Stanford reference! I forgot he still exists in the world of the show.
- He’s…a Shinto monk now? In any case, I’m glad to see the show lifting a Cosmo in honor of Willie Garson, who gave so much to the SATC world.
- Oh wow, Skipper reference!
- I love Charlotte’s 20-something gallery girlinas!
- Oh God, Miranda shows up to Che’s show, but so does their new crush from the vet’s office, Toby. This seems bad.
- Che’s standup is all mean stuff about Miranda! Ugh! Get better material, bro!
- I guess, in their defense, you should tell comedians when you’re coming to their show.
- Charlotte drunkenly yelling “I am slaying at work!” is my favorite thing ever.
- Aidan’s kid broke his collarbone 🙁
- Lisa has a miscarriage, which she manages to be remarkably calm about.
- Miranda tries to bail on Carrie’s Last Supper at her old apartment, but Carrie doesn’t let her, which: Good. I want drama!
- John Corbett really has had the perfect amount of work done.
