Even though I’m in a relationship now, the stubborn part of me that spent every Valentine’s Day for 15 years organizing movie excursions with friends so as not to dwell on my own aloneness—only to have them bail day-of in favor actual romance—felt extremely seen by Seema’s speech to Carrie in the rain, in which she stated that she didn’t want to put her own comfort and happiness second to be the “cheering section” to a friend’s relationship for the umpteenth time. Sing it, sister!

It’s crazy how literally one scene of Kim Cattrall saying “fuck” on the phone makes me happier than almost anything that preceded it this season, but them’s the breaks, I guess. It was wonderful to see Sam again, and have her status as “the kind of friend who will fly in from London overnight to help you say goodbye to your apartment” confirmed, even though the brevity of her onscreen appearance just made me long for more.
