00:00But everybody else is very concerned about me because I'm here alone.
00:04I didn't realize I needed a date for my mother's funeral.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most memorable,
00:11standout, and still-talked-about episodes of Sex and the City.
00:14If you haven't seen the series in its entirety, plot points are about to be discussed.
00:19We might have been one foot out the door, but my shoes appeared to have already left.
00:26Number 30, The Baby Shower.
00:27Perhaps one of the best parts of this series is how it was willing to have those conversations
00:32that many of its Gen X audience might have only had in hushed tones, if at all.
00:37That's what makes episodes like this so remarkable.
00:39The truth is, I needed to escape.
00:42The party had turned into a preview.
00:45A preview of a life I didn't know if I was ready for.
00:48Sure, you have your Charlottes, who love a baby shower and probably have their own already planned out.
00:52But then you have your Samanthas, Mirandas, and Carys,
00:55who either decidedly choose to stay child-free or are undecided.
00:59Well, I, for one, love my life.
01:01And I will not be made to feel inadequate by all this baby talk.
01:05I spoke to a woman with a master's in finance.
01:08All she wanted to talk about was her diaper genie.
01:10Oh, come on, you guys.
01:12It doesn't have to be like that.
01:13You don't have to lose yourself to have a kid.
01:15The point is, no matter what your views are on parenthood,
01:18this episode validates them all.
01:19And, like always, we see how true, solid, reliable friendship is at the heart of many storylines.
01:26What's going on?
01:27She stole my baby name.
01:29You b****.
01:31Let's go.
01:33Number 29.
01:3420-something girls versus 30-something women.
01:36This episode marks a real turning point for the main characters,
01:40with all the pressure modern single women feel to keep up.
01:43These girls in their 20s, they're so spoiled and ungrateful, they think they're it.
01:46Yeah, don't they realize we're still it?
01:48No, because the world validates their delusion.
01:51It captures that familiar panic around aging,
01:54as the 30-somethings start to feel edged out by a younger crowd
01:57whose confidence makes their own experience feel overlooked.
02:00While Miranda leans into good, clean fun,
02:03Samantha works to prove she's still at the top of her game,
02:05and Charlotte tries to hide her age.
02:07What are you, 25 now?
02:11Good morning.
02:14No, 27.
02:16Carrie's hit an emotional blow when she realizes that Big chose an easy,
02:20uncomplicated future over their messy history.
02:22We also learn that some things don't discriminate whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or beyond.
02:27Oh my god, so disgusting!
02:31Where's she going?
02:32To the drugstore?
02:34Charlotte really is in her 20s.
02:36She's got crabs.
02:38Number 28.
02:39The man, the myth, the Viagra.
02:41It's about time Big met the girls, right?
02:43Well, that depends on who you ask.
02:45I want you to know my friends better.
02:47I know your friends fine.
02:49Charlotte is the brunette.
02:51Miranda is the redhead.
02:54And Samantha is trouble.
02:57Okay then, I want them to know you better.
03:00They've never really spent time with you.
03:01But he's not the only one doing the standing up this episode.
03:06Carrie had apparently forgotten about the existence of cell phones as she decided to bail on Miranda to hang out with Big.
03:11Just as well, since her disappearing act gives Miranda and the cute bartender a chance to talk.
03:16What are you reading?
03:18The joy of bartending.
03:20Hemingway.
03:20So what, you're funny?
03:24Meanwhile, Samantha finds herself with an older lover who reminds her that even she can still be surprised.
03:29In the end, Big shows up for Carrie.
03:31And that small gesture pushes Miranda to take a chance in her own love life.
03:35Leading to that unforgettable kiss in the rain.
03:38Maybe I can believe it.
03:44Number 27.
03:45Time and punishment.
03:47Timing is everything and Big's is the worst.
03:50Hey kid, what's shaking?
03:52I'm back to town.
03:53Call me baby.
03:55From there, things go downhill fast as Aiden realizes he still hasn't forgiven Carrie for cheating on him.
04:00And spends the whole episode reminding her.
04:03First passive aggressively and then with none of the passive.
04:06Miranda and Charlotte clash over choosing your choice.
04:09Showing how those big decisions can knock you flat.
04:12I am behind my choice.
04:13I choose my choice.
04:15Charlotte, I don't have time for this.
04:17I have to go to work.
04:18Some of us still have to go to work.
04:20I choose my choice.
04:21I choose my choice.
04:24In some cases, literally.
04:26Carrie infamously sends Aiden to help.
04:28Leading Miranda to call out Carrie and her BS bagels.
04:31You are b******t.
04:33You and your b******t cheer me up bagels.
04:35They're just a decoy so you can talk about Aiden.
04:37Look, he didn't even bring cream cheese.
04:40Samantha, meanwhile, deals with a guy bold enough to offer grooming tips.
04:43And through it all, Carrie and Aiden show how forgiveness sounds simple until you actually try living with it.
04:49You have to forgive me.
04:51You have to forgive me.
04:54You have to forgive me.
04:58Number 26.
05:00Bells of the Balls.
05:01The title works on several levels.
05:03For Steve, it lands most literally.
05:05Since he's recovering from surgery and trying to figure out what manhood means now.
05:09With Miranda doing her best to be there for him.
05:11I've been to the area, and I swear to God, I wouldn't know if you had one or four.
05:17But I know.
05:18Every time I look down at my nuts.
05:21Correction.
05:22Nut.
05:24I look all lapsed.
05:26Women don't care!
05:28For Charlotte, it's about facing the cracks in her relationship, even when it doesn't fit the polished rules of her new high society circles.
05:34For Samantha, it's about proving she has a pair when her professionalism comes under fire.
05:39You know what? If I was a guy, you would have shaken my hand, bought me a scotch, and given me a key to an office.
05:47It's amazing. A man with such innovative vision can be so short-sighted.
05:51And for Carrie, it's reassessing her boundaries after watching two middle-aged men fight in the mud.
05:56Really, this episode asks whether the real divide between men and women comes from biology or the world that shapes them.
06:02Maybe men and women aren't from different planets, as pop culture would have us believe.
06:06Maybe we live a lot closer to each other, perhaps, dare I even say it, in the same zip code.
06:13Number 25. Frenemies.
06:14Ask any Sex and the City fan which of the ladies they best identify with, and they'll probably name just one.
06:20But this episode shows that every woman contains more than one story.
06:24Sex is something special that's supposed to happen between two people who love each other.
06:29Or two people who love sex.
06:30Oh my god, you're such a...
06:31A what?
06:32What am I, Charlotte?
06:34Charlotte struggles with the lack of intimacy in her marriage, and projects that frustration onto
06:38Samantha and her unapologetic sexual freedom.
06:41Miranda and Carrie feel tension when Miranda's cynicism about dating leads her to pursue a man
06:46despite Carrie's warnings.
06:47Jim, old boyfriend Jim?
06:50He called me.
06:51Oh, Miranda, no.
06:53Honey, he so needs to be voted off the island.
06:56Meanwhile, Carrie wonders if her column really reflects real-world experiences.
07:00The main message here is that by leaning on each other's strengths, these women bring out the best in each other.
07:06No one is just one thing, and they're all the better for it.
07:09Having spent time with their frenemies, Charlotte and Samantha forgot they were enemies and went back to being friends.
07:15Number 24. What goes around comes around.
07:18When Carrie gets mugged on the street, she sees it as a cosmic punishment for her affair with Big.
07:23Her decision to track down Natasha is arguably one of her most self-centered acts.
07:27Seven unreturned phone calls, and still no response from Natasha.
07:32The Buddhists believe you pay for what you do wrong in this life in the next.
07:36I knew what I'd done.
07:37I just didn't think I could wait a lifetime to be forgiven.
07:40It's not really about making amends, but more about clearing her own conscience.
07:45She's not the only one stuck between reality and fantasy.
07:48Charlotte struggles with the pull of a forbidden kiss against the reality of her marriage vows.
07:52I don't want a husband who looks the other way. I want a husband who takes me in his arms and makes me not want to kiss the gardener.
07:59Miranda wrestles with her distorted self-image when a man shows genuine interest.
08:03Meanwhile, Samantha contends with the overblown fantasies of the other Sam Jones.
08:07The episode ultimately explores consequences and how the hardest confrontations are often with our self-perception.
08:13As I walked away, I realized my actions had set into motion a karmic chain of events that put Natasha back on the singles market.
08:21As if single women in New York didn't have it hard enough.
08:24Number 23. The Turtle and the Hare
08:26Carrie arguably sums things up best when she says,
08:30In a city of great expectations, is it time to settle for what you can get?
08:34For her, that means questioning what she's willing to compromise on in her relationships.
08:39For Stanford, it's what front he's willing to put up with for his inheritance.
08:42For Samantha, it's testing whether she can take a man who isn't conventionally desirable and turn him into a hot date.
08:48Answer? Even the great Samantha Jones has her limits.
08:51You know, I'm not feeling very well. I think I'm going to have to send myself home.
08:59I'll call you.
09:01Meanwhile, Charlotte has a breakthrough.
09:03Realizing she can break free from rigid rules and reliance on men for sexual fulfillment.
09:07The episode even sparked a surge in rabbit sales.
09:10As viewers embraced the idea that they didn't have to settle or rely on anyone else for their pleasure.
09:16It's weird because with the rabbit, it's like every time.
09:19Boom.
09:20Number 22. Where There's Smoke
09:22The ladies head over to Staten Island where Carrie's judging the FDNY calendar competition.
09:26At its core, this episode is all about the fairy tales and fantasies we hold onto when it comes to relationships.
09:31I'm going to meet the perfect guy and I'm going to get married.
09:35Yes, you're getting married.
09:38Woohoo! You hear that, New York? I'm getting married this year!
09:44Samantha fully leans into hers, while Carrie, scared of getting burned again, holds back.
09:49Miranda learns that being rescued and accepting help are not the same thing.
09:53No, yeah, this leg. No. I want this leg.
09:56Stop! No! No rescue!
09:58Yeah, alright. Fine. Okay. Alright. Put your feet on there, sleeping beauty.
10:03Charlotte, meanwhile, has to rethink her dream of a white knight riding in on his horse.
10:07The episode doesn't exactly prove her point that women just want to be rescued.
10:11However, it does make everyone rethink the fantasies they hold onto
10:15and how those stories often look very different in reality.
10:18I'm sorry, but it's true. I've been dating since I was 15. I'm exhausted. Where is he?
10:24Who? The white knight?
10:26That only happens in fairy tales.
10:28My hair hurts.
10:30Number 21. Hop Skip in a Week.
10:32Berger's insecurities about Carrie's success keep driving a wedge between them,
10:36making us wish she would just dump him before he beats her to the post. It.
10:40On the flip side, Samantha shows unwavering support
10:43as she transforms Jerry Jarrett into Smith Jarrett like only she can.
10:46Miranda puts her own spin on the supermom trope by having it all,
10:50but ultimately choosing her baby over her job.
10:53That night, Miranda was there to put Brady to bed.
10:56But there would still be times when she wouldn't be around.
10:59But the real heart of the episode is Charlotte and Harry finding their way back to each other.
11:04Out of all the synagogues and all the cities, you had a walk in a mine.
11:09Harry.
11:11How you been?
11:14Not good.
11:15I miss you.
11:19By the time they tie the knot,
11:20even Charlotte sees that a relationship with substance beats a picture-perfect one.
11:24Anyway, Harry's proposal is the sweetest and leaves us for Klimt every time.
11:30Charlotte York.
11:34Will you marry me?
11:35Number 20.
11:43They shoot single people, don't they?
11:45After a night of dancing and drinking,
11:47Harry shows up at a photo shoot, not looking her best.
11:50The results leave her mortified,
11:52but the single-person-shaming sentiment of the attached article is even worse.
11:56Oh, I'm a cautionary tale, shoot me.
11:58Filling their lives with an endless parade of decoys and distractions
12:02to avoid the painful fact that they're completely alone.
12:05How is that helping?
12:06And although they all try to shrug it off,
12:09Miranda, Charlotte, and even Samantha quickly enter relationships,
12:13suggesting they're more affected by it than they're willing to let on.
12:16Sure, we can't all relate to having our singledom splashed on the front page,
12:20but many of us have felt judged for being unattached.
12:23Somehow, the question mark had leapt off my cover and onto each of them.
12:27By the end of the episode,
12:29the women learn that it's better to hold out for the real deal than just fake it.
12:33As Samantha looked into his sweet and hopeful eyes,
12:35she realized something.
12:37No matter how much it hurts,
12:39sometimes it's better to be alone than fake it.
12:42And yes, that is Bradley Cooper.
12:45Number 19.
12:46Hot Child in the City.
12:47In this season 3 gem,
12:49Miranda gets new braces,
12:51while Charlotte tries to work on her intimacy issues with Trey.
12:54We love each other and we're married now.
12:59Rebecca and Schooner belong together.
13:01They need each other.
13:02Please.
13:03Carrie revisits youth while dating Wade,
13:05a comic book store owner who still lives with his parents.
13:08Not that she would have batted an eyelid if the storyline took place today.
13:12Samantha, meanwhile,
13:13meets her match in the bratty, self-entitled Jenny Briar,
13:16played by Kat Dennings.
13:18My father has invited over 300 of his most powerful friends to this event.
13:23They're not all coming.
13:24The Clintons can't make it, of course.
13:26But like I told Daddy,
13:27we'll be lucky if we can swing this far under a mill.
13:28But what do I know?
13:30I'm just a kid.
13:32The women consider what it means to grow up
13:34and their respective relationships with their inner children.
13:37The episode brilliantly captures what we miss about our younger,
13:40freer days and the struggles of letting that go.
13:43Sometimes it's important to have a 13-year-old moment,
13:46to remember a simpler time when the best thing in life
13:48was just hanging out, listening to records,
13:51and having fun with your friends.
13:53Plus, watching the ladies enjoy a little recreation is always amusing.
14:00Despite its title,
14:02this episode puts the sex in Sex and the City.
14:05Miranda finds herself in a dry spell,
14:07while Samantha learns abstinence can be very powerful.
14:10Until your entire being is humming with that electric sexual energy.
14:16My apartment's just around the corner.
14:19The only thing hotter than sex is not having sex.
14:23Charlotte meets a guy whose medication affects his libido.
14:26Meanwhile, Carrie and Big are comfortably settled into their relationship.
14:30Only Carrie starts to spiral after a small emission on her part
14:34leaves her believing she's killed the romance.
14:36That was the first night we slept together and didn't make love.
14:40By the middle of the next week,
14:42it was three times in a row,
14:44and I was beginning to worry.
14:45Three times?
14:46Try three months.
14:48No.
14:48Yes.
14:49As with most episodes,
14:50the ladies' personal lives address issues that tend to go undiscussed,
14:54typically due to embarrassment or fear of judgment.
14:57Do you think you'll ever...
15:00Never mind.
15:02What, think I'll ever go often?
15:03Yeah.
15:04Nope.
15:05Not even for me?
15:08Nope.
15:09But episodes like this prove that the tribulations of life and love are often universal.
15:15Number 17.
15:16Luck be an old lady.
15:18Carrie is determined to get the girls together to celebrate Charlotte's 30-faux birthday.
15:22Are you telling me the four of us can't get together to celebrate Charlotte's 30-faux birthday?
15:26But like any adult trying to balance personal obligations and friends,
15:30this is no easy task.
15:32They end up going to Atlantic City,
15:34but no one's heart is fully in the celebrations.
15:37In five minutes, Charlotte turns 35 again!
15:40Good night!
15:43Charlotte went to sleep that night with a $1,000 chip on her shoulder.
15:48Charlotte frets getting older,
15:49new mom Miranda feels body conscious,
15:51and Samantha suspects Richard of infidelity.
15:54This prompts several intertwining stories about how society idolizes youth and certain body standards.
15:59Guys, let's go.
16:01It's okay.
16:01No!
16:03It is most certainly not okay!
16:05Listen, you big jerk!
16:07Her ass isn't normally this big!
16:09It might not have been the girls' trip of Carrie's dreams,
16:12but their ride home is pretty heartwarming.
16:15Plus, in this episode,
16:17Samantha delivers one of the most iconic lines of the series,
16:20and teaches us all a valuable lesson in self-love.
16:24I love you.
16:25I love you too, Richard.
16:27But I love me more.
16:29Number 16.
16:30The Ick Factor
16:31This episode hits us in so many feels that we're already tearing up just at the title.
16:37Carrie's beau, Alexander Petrovsky,
16:39hits her with more romance than she can handle.
16:41It's too much.
16:43I'm an American.
16:45You gotta take it down a notch.
16:48On the other hand, Charlotte and Harry enjoy each other's company,
16:51although their digestive systems might feel differently.
16:55Surviving a night of food poisoning together wasn't the stuff of great romance,
16:58but it was the stuff of lasting love.
17:01Samantha considers breast augmentation only to receive some life-altering news.
17:06However, the episode builds up to Miranda and Steve's non-conformist wedding.
17:11I, Miranda Hobbs,
17:13take you, Steve Brady,
17:15take you, Steve Brady,
17:17to be my husband.
17:18To be my husband.
17:20For better or worse.
17:20Mommy, Daddy, get a nurse.
17:22As they exchange vows,
17:24we can't help but get all choked up.
17:26Although, not half as much as when Miranda shows that for better or worse,
17:30in sickness or in health,
17:31nothing, not even her wedding day,
17:34is more important than her friends.
17:36You are my people and we'll talk about it now.
17:40Now start at the beginning.
17:41You are the bossiest bride in the world.
17:45Yes, I am.
17:46And you have to do everything I say.
17:47Number 15.
17:49La douleur exquise.
17:50We start with Samantha urging her friends to embrace the kinkier side of intimacy.
17:55Miranda and Charlotte both meet guys with interesting fixations.
17:59Someone might come by.
18:00We could get caught.
18:02I know.
18:04Given Charlotte's more conservative nature,
18:06it's entertaining to watch her turmoil as she steps into someone else's fantasy.
18:10Of course, the pivotal moment is when Big tells Carrie about his plans to move to Paris for several months.
18:15How long have you known about this?
18:17It's been in the works for a while.
18:19I'll know more details after this trip.
18:22Well, when did you plan on telling me?
18:25When I knew more.
18:26This was a much-needed wake-up call for our protagonist.
18:29She can do everything under the sun to make this relationship work,
18:33but Big hasn't made any space for her in his life just yet.
18:37Why is it so hard?
18:38For you to factor me into your life in any real way?
18:45It's painful to watch, but we reckon she made the right choice by walking away.
18:50Number 14.
18:51Splat.
18:51How do you know when you've overstayed at a party?
18:54Is it when your boyfriend struggles to fit in with your friends, making them question your suitability?
18:59Just say it.
19:00You don't like him.
19:01Fine, I don't like him.
19:03Then don't you go to Paris with him.
19:06You're living in a fantasy!
19:09Or perhaps it's when ageism rears its ugly head in the ever-shrinking dating pool.
19:13Carrie's boss seems to think the latter.
19:15If you're a successful 50-something woman, there's a very small pool.
19:24It's very small.
19:26It's a wading pool, really.
19:29So why are you swimming in my wading pool?
19:31However, an infamous party girl from Carrie's past, Lexi Featherston, played by Kristen Johnston,
19:37thinks it's when the city has given up on you.
19:39She says as much in a bitter rant ending with a way-on-the-nose statement before making her last tragic exit.
19:45Over.
19:47No one's fun anymore!
19:49Whatever happened to fun?
19:51I'm so bored I could die.
19:54It's one of the series' darkest moments, and understandably leaves everyone shaken.
19:58The tragedy prompts Carrie to start experiencing love, rather than just writing about it.
20:04Number 13.
20:05Cock-a-doodle-doo.
20:06While there are lots of great funny moments on this show that perfectly combined comedy and drama,
20:11sometimes it's the serious ones that are the most memorable.
20:14Could we have lunch sometime?
20:18Well, I really need to talk to you.
20:22Please.
20:22In this season 3 episode, Carrie is considering meeting up with Big again despite everything they just went through during their affair.
20:30Miranda is vehemently opposed to this reunion, and doesn't hide her feelings from Carrie, resulting in a blowout fight.
20:37Perfect, that's just perfect. Walk away!
20:41It's all my fault.
20:42Of course, this episode isn't without its issues.
20:45We certainly do not condone Sam's highly offensive and majorly problematic turf war storyline.
20:50She had a date with destiny.
20:53China and Joe.
20:55No E.
20:55Take this, ladies!
20:57I'm...
20:58Taken altogether.
21:01It's a narratively important episode with lots of replay value.
21:05Number 12.
21:06The Real Me.
21:07This episode is probably best remembered for the brutal moment Heidi Klum steps over Carrie after she becomes Fashion Roadkill.
21:14Oh my god, she's Fashion Roadkill!
21:17However, it also offers some relatable commentary on physical insecurities with plenty of poignancy and humor.
21:26Miranda grapples with self-doubt when a guy at the gym finds her attractive.
21:29Smart, yes.
21:31Sometimes cute, but never sexy.
21:34Sexy is the thing I try to get them to see me as after I win them over with my personality.
21:38A health problem forces Charlotte to become more acquainted with her anatomy.
21:42And Samantha is the body-positive icon we all need in our lives.
21:47Look, I like my body.
21:49I'm getting these pictures taken.
21:50What's the big problem?
21:51No problem.
21:52You're my hero.
21:53I think it's fantastic that you can just put it out there.
21:56Carrie reluctantly agrees to participate in a charity catwalk and looks fabulous until...
22:01Still, it's a great lesson that when life knocks you down, the best thing you can do is jump back up and keep strutting forward.
22:09Because when real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep on walking.
22:19Number 11.
22:20The Post-It Always Sticks Twice
22:22This episode and the one before it is why Sex and the City fans cannot look at a Post-It note without cringing just a little.
22:29On a Post-It?
22:30Uh-huh.
22:31Uh-huh.
22:32Yep.
22:34Read it and weep, my friends.
22:36I'm sorry I can't.
22:38Don't hate me.
22:40Come on, who breaks up with someone on a sticky bit of yellow paper?
22:43Carrie is determined to change her misfortune and drags all the ladies along.
22:48If I have to, I will play the Post-It card.
22:50Just explain to me why I have to leave my house to go to bed.
22:55Because this can't be the day that I was broken up with by a Post-It.
22:58This has to be the day that something else happened.
23:01Meanwhile, Charlotte flaunts her engagement ring, Miranda feels hot in an old pair of skinny jeans,
23:06and Samantha confronts some surprising feelings.
23:09But back to Carrie.
23:10The outrage of her unfortunate breakup is lessened when she's busted by a cop who sympathizes with her situation.
23:17Tell you what.
23:17I'll write you up for smoking in a bar.
23:20Oh, come on.
23:21Can't you just let her off?
23:23I'm sorry.
23:24I can't.
23:25Don't hate me.
23:27And there's nothing funnier than watching her giggle over a Sunday with her friends.
23:31Now that's how you handle a breakup.
23:34Number 10.
23:35Running with Scissors.
23:36This episode is the one where it all falls apart for Carrie and Big.
23:40Carrie?
23:41Oh my god, what are you doing in this neighborhood?
23:43They've been sneaking around together for a while.
23:46But this is when Carrie is finally caught in Big's apartment by his wife, Natasha.
23:50As Carrie tries to flee, Natasha chases her down the stairs and seriously injures herself in the process.
23:57Stop!
23:57I'm talking to you!
23:58It's a painful but poignant moment when Carrie has to help Natasha get to the hospital, despite what's just occurred between them.
24:05Many people truly hated the whole affair storyline.
24:08So this episode gets bonus points for having not only brought it to an end, but a surprisingly satisfying one too.
24:14Thanks for being here.
24:19I'll call you.
24:20For what?
24:25We're so over.
24:28We need a new word for over.
24:32In season 4, Charlotte has been struggling with her fertility.
24:36So when Miranda finds out that she has unintentionally become pregnant, she's understandably terrified to tell her friend.
24:42I cannot think of a worse time to tell you this.
24:45Oh my.
24:46What the F is going on?
24:49I'm pregnant.
24:50And when she finally does, and announces that she plans to end the pregnancy, Charlotte cannot forgive her.
24:56What are you going to do?
25:01You're not even going to consider having it?
25:05This is not in my plans right now and I really feel awful talking about this in front of you.
25:10This episode touches on an issue that is not often covered in mainstream television.
25:15Someone deciding whether or not to have an abortion.
25:17In the end, Miranda's decision to keep her baby feels just as empowering.
25:22And her reconciliation with Charlotte is sure to warm your heart every time you rewatch it.
25:27But I'm just going to walk a little way behind you in case you change your mind and want to talk.
25:32No, I'm okay.
25:32Charlotte walked all the way home, and even though she never turned back, she knew Miranda was behind her.
25:46Number 8.
25:471.
25:47There is so much going on in this episode, we hardly know where to start.
25:52There's Charlotte's devastating miscarriage, and her subsequent surge of inspiration from Elizabeth Taylor.
26:03There's Carrie's first date with Alexander Petrovsky the Russian.
26:06Of all my odd dates, this was number 1.
26:11There's Miranda finally admitting her true feelings and telling Steve she's in love with him at Brady's first birthday party,
26:16despite the fact that both of their partners are in the other room.
26:20I love you.
26:21I love you, Steve.
26:23And, of course, unforgettably, there's Bozo the Bush.
26:26What more could you want out of a half hour of television?
26:28I'm Bozo the Bush!
26:32Turns out, there is something scarier than a clown.
26:35Number 7.
26:36The Agony and the Ecstasy.
26:38This episode is known as one of the saddest in the series run, but it's undoubtedly one of the most memorable.
26:44It's Carrie's 35th birthday, and she plans to have a celebratory dinner with her friends.
26:49Bradshaw, party of 10?
26:51Yes.
26:52You're the first to arrive.
26:53When she arrives, though, she is the only one there.
26:56And even as time passes, none of her guests show up.
26:59Happy birthday to you!
27:03Happy birthday, dear Marta!
27:08Happy birthday to you!
27:12She ends up leaving, dejected, alone, and forced to reflect on not only the idea of getting older,
27:18but also aging without a man in her life.
27:20I am 35 and alone.
27:22You are not alone.
27:24No, I know I have you guys, but...
27:27And I really, I hate myself a little for saying this, but...
27:32It felt really sad...
27:36not to have a man in my life who cares about me.
27:39In a heartwarming moment, however, the girls reunite and redefine the term soulmate.
27:44Maybe we could be each other's soulmates.
27:47Of course, having Bigg show up at the end to make Carrie feel special doesn't hurt either.
27:52As Bigg's car drove away, I realized having three soulmates already nailed down
27:58and made it a lot easier to spot those great, nice guys to have fun with.
28:05We can't talk about this two-part finale without mentioning Samantha's empowering speech from part 1.
28:12But whether you wanted Carrie to end up with Mr. Bigg or not,
28:15the series finale of Sex and the City is one of the sweetest and easiest episodes to love.
28:20Carrie comes back from Paris, thank goodness, and is reunited with her girls.
28:25Everyone's storylines are nicely tied up, with Samantha being back in good health,
28:29Charlotte getting a first glimpse of her daughter, and Miranda settling in to Brooklyn.
28:33Debate in the comments if you'd like,
28:35but we'd argue that this ending is far superior to either of the alternatives that the two movies left us with.
28:41And just like that, we'll leave it there.
28:43And if you find someone to love the youth you love...
28:46Hi!
28:47What's shaking, baby?
28:48How's Nappa?
28:49The house is on the market.
28:50Look out, New York.
28:51I'm-a-coming.
28:52Well, that's just fabulous.
28:56Number 5.
28:56The Good Fight
28:57There is nothing funnier or more relatable than the fight that takes place between Carrie and Aiden in this classic episode.
29:05We could make some room for it if we cleaned out your closet.
29:09They're arguing about space in Carrie's small apartment,
29:12but as often happens in real-life disagreements,
29:15the conversation branches out, pulling in other problems as it balloons.
29:19Is Rogaine?
29:21Wait a minute.
29:23You used Rogaine?
29:24I didn't know you needed-
29:25It's preventative.
29:26But is your hair falling?
29:27I don't want to talk about it!
29:29We will never stop laughing about Aiden's multiple speedstick deodorants,
29:33or feeling bad for Carrie when Pete chews on her prized shoes.
29:36No matter how many times you've seen it, any fan is sure to get a kick out of this, one viewing after another.
29:41That dog owes me $380.
29:46Fine.
29:46You can't buy it.
29:47It's circa 1996.
29:50Number 4.
29:51My Motherboard Myself
29:53Tissues at the ready?
29:55You're gonna need them.
29:56Carrie's in a pity spiral after her laptop crashes.
29:58However, she's soon brought back down to Earth when Miranda calls her with devastating news.
30:04And we all went home, and then they called and said she was crashing.
30:09And by the time we got back, she had died.
30:12Oh, Miranda, I'm so sorry.
30:15The episode excellently shows how there's no one right way to grieve.
30:19Charlotte is very practical,
30:21whereas Samantha learns dissociating from your emotions can take a physical toll.
30:25Finally, Samantha found the release she really needed.
30:28She cried for everything she couldn't say,
30:31and for things she didn't even know she felt.
30:33The episode also highlights the importance of having a strong support network,
30:37whether that's your blood relatives or your chosen family.
30:40Miranda's family is concerned about her singleness at the funeral.
30:43But when she needs someone the most,
30:46Carrie is right there at her side.
30:48With every rewatch, our tears flow just as hard.
30:51There's the kind of support you ask for,
30:53and the kind of support you don't ask for.
30:58And then there's the kind that just shows up.
31:01Number 3. A woman's right to shoes.
31:04In this season 6 episode,
31:06Carrie is invited to a party at a friend's house
31:08where the host makes everyone remove their shoes before crossing the threshold.
31:12At the end of the night, however,
31:13Carrie's beloved Manolo Blahniks are missing.
31:15Well, actually, they weren't sandals, they were Manolos.
31:19Her friend doesn't seem too concerned,
31:21but eventually offers to replace them until balking at the price.
31:25What ensues is a story about single people versus married people,
31:28in which Carrie questions the respect and recognition
31:31that she's given as an unmarried woman without children.
31:34No offense, Carrie,
31:35but I really don't think we should have to pay for your extravagant lifestyle.
31:38I mean, it was your choice to buy shoes that expensive.
31:41In true Sex and the City fashion,
31:42it takes an isolated incident
31:44and uses it as the foundation to ask much bigger questions
31:48to remarkable effect.
31:50I wanted to let you know that I'm getting married to myself.
31:55Oh, and I'm registered at Manolo Blahnik.
31:59So thanks. Bye.
32:01Number 2. I, Heart, and Why.
32:03In a twist of fate,
32:05the writers of Sex and the City penned this episode
32:07before the September 11th attacks,
32:09though it only aired the following February.
32:11There is a time of year in New York
32:13when, even before the first leave falls,
32:16you can feel the seasons click.
32:18The episode acts as a love letter to New York,
32:21with Carrie making an impassioned speech to Big,
32:23begging him to stay,
32:24when he announces he's moving to California.
32:27Well, if you're tired, you take a nap,
32:29but you don't move to Napa.
32:31The episode has a melancholic tone to it,
32:33with Carrie and Big trying to savor
32:35their last moments in the city together
32:36when Miranda goes into labor.
32:38Miranda?
32:39Hi, I'm in labor.
32:41It's a plot that's fraught with emotion,
32:43and an episode that, considering its timing,
32:45has become an understandable fan favorite.
32:48Oh my god, there he is!
32:52And he's perfect.
32:54Before we unveil our top pick,
32:56here are some honorable mentions.
32:58I love a charade.
32:59The ladies head to the Hamptons.
33:01Perhaps we were all much too cynical.
33:04Perhaps somehow, despite the odds,
33:06Bobby and Betsy had found something real.
33:08I now pronounce you husband and wife.
33:12You may kiss the bride.
33:13Ring-a-ding-ding.
33:14Carrie's finances come back to bite her,
33:16and Charlotte.
33:17I love you.
33:18But it's not my job to fix your finances.
33:24You're a 35-year-old woman.
33:27You need to learn to stand on your own.
33:30Don't ask, don't tell.
33:31Charlotte gets married, and Carrie comes clean.
33:34He was married, and it was a mess.
33:36And I don't know what I was thinking.
33:37I wasn't thinking, but it is so, so over.
33:40And I, and it was wrong.
33:41And I, just, I just hope you can...
33:47Anchors away.
33:48Everyone re-evaluates their relationships,
33:50whether it's with New York, their families,
33:52former Flames, or themselves.
33:54My friendships are important to me.
33:59Hey, we're not going anywhere.
34:02Maybe things will have to change a little.
34:04I know.
34:08But you're still one of us.
34:10Out of the Frying Pan.
34:11A great episode mostly remembered
34:13for this one incredibly touching moment.
34:15No, you can't.
34:16Your hair's your thing.
34:18Chill out, I'm busy.
34:26And when I'm done cubaling here,
34:28I'm moving right over to you.

34:47Ex and the city.
34:48If there's one episode that encompasses
34:50everything Sex and the City is all about,
34:52it's this one.
34:53It puts a focus on female friendship
34:55while touching on the difficulty
34:56of romantic relationships,
34:58not to mention featuring some wild sex.
35:00Samantha suddenly understood
35:02what made Mr. Cocky so cocky.
35:04Carrie finds out that Big and Natasha
35:06are engaged and is devastated by the news.
35:09She has a revelation though
35:10when the girls realize that her situation
35:12is just like the plot of the film
35:14The Way We Were.
35:15Why her?
35:17One word.
35:18Hubble.
35:20Hubble.
35:20This helps Carrie accept what's happening
35:28and give Big a memorable goodbye
35:30that only she understands.
35:32However, even though we know now,
35:34it's not goodbye forever.
35:36Your girl is lovely Hubble.
35:41I don't get it.
35:43And you never did.
