00:00And even though she never turned back, she knew Miranda was behind her.
00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the moments that truly make
00:10us believe in the power of friendship, proving that through thick and thin,
00:13Sex and the City's Fab Four always had each other's backs.
00:16I forgot how hard it is. You just take all the time you need, okay?
00:22Number 20. Charlotte throws Miranda a baby shower.
00:25Charlotte has always dreamed of the picture-perfect family, but life rarely sticks to the vision board.
00:31So when Miranda tells her she's keeping her baby, Charlotte's reaction is pure joy.
00:35No hesitation, no qualifiers.
00:38We're having a baby?
00:44And with those four little words, three aunts were born.
00:49Now that's friendship.
00:50She's actively dealing with her own fertility heartbreak, yet chooses to show up fully for her friend,
00:55even going as far as planning the baby shower in a true act of love.
00:59Well, it's your shower, and you can invite or not invite whoever you choose.
01:03Would you really want to throw me a baby shower after all you've been through this year?
01:08Yeah.
01:09Even when Charlotte finally can't hold it together anymore, the honesty only deepens the bond.
01:14This is friendship at its bravest.
01:16Being happy for someone else, even when it hurts.
01:18And knowing that support doesn't disappear just because things feel unfair.
01:23I need you.
01:25I mean, let's face it, you're the only person in my life who...
01:30knows how important it is to have a cake made entirely out of diapers.
01:35Number 19. Charlotte giving Carrie her engagement ring.
01:38I was thinking maybe I'd turn it into a necklace.
01:41While Charlotte contemplates what to do with the expensive engagement ring Trey bought her,
01:45Carrie finds out that she's gonna have to buy her apartment from Aiden if she wants to stay there.
01:49She scrambles to come up with the money.
01:51And ultimately, Big offers her the amount she needs for her down payment,
01:55but she isn't willing to accept it.
01:57So I can't tape it back.
02:00There's no denying Carrie really heaped on the guilt trip here, but Charlotte's right.
02:04It's not her job to fix Carrie's finances.
02:07So the fact that she chooses to give Carrie the ring shows that no matter what,
02:11her friends are more invaluable to her than any diamond ever could be.
02:15Will you take the ring?
02:18I will.
02:21Number 18. Charlotte and Samantha find common ground.
02:24Although you might think of yourself as a Charlotte, Carrie, Miranda, or Samantha,
02:29episodes like this prove that no one is ever just one thing.
02:32And honestly, that's what makes life more interesting.
02:34Sex is something special that's supposed to happen between two people who love each other.
02:39Or two people who love sex.
02:41Oh my god, you're such a...
02:42A what?
02:42What am I, Charlotte?
02:44After clashing over their wildly different views on relationships,
02:48Charlotte and Samantha go off to find friends who seem more aligned with their values.
02:52That experiment does not last long.
02:54They come back together without a big dramatic apology.
02:57They simply remember why they became friends in the first place.
03:00After Charlotte's night of love,
03:02she called the one person she knew who would appreciate it the most.
03:05Watching them reconnect and seeing Samantha genuinely happy for Charlotte shows real growth.
03:10That kind of joy for someone else is the foundation of lasting friendship.
03:14Having spent time with their frenemies,
03:16Charlotte and Samantha forgot they were enemies and went back to being friends.
03:20Number 17. Samantha babysits.
03:22If you made a list of people most likely to babysit,
03:25Samantha Jones would not be near the top.
03:28Which is exactly why this moment is so huge.
03:30Samantha, what are you doing here?
03:31I'm not Samantha, you are.
03:33You have a 5.30 appointment with John Mandy at the John Mandy Salon.
03:37Go.
03:37Miranda is exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperately in need of a break.
03:42So Samantha stepping in is a huge deal.
03:44She doesn't suddenly become maternal or sentimental,
03:47but she does show up.
03:48And that's what matters.
03:49You want to babysit?
03:51Five, four...
03:52Okay!
03:53Okay.
03:55I don't know what to say.
03:57I can't believe it.
03:58Well, neither can I, but here I am.
04:00Mary f***ing Poppins.
04:01Friendship isn't about becoming someone else.
04:03It's about using what you've got to help someone you care about.
04:06She understood the assignment.
04:08Samantha gives Miranda something priceless.
04:10A moment of peace.
04:11Watching her handle Brady in her own very Samantha way is funny, sure.
04:15But it's also deeply kind.
04:17That better be brand new.
04:20Number 16.
04:21Carrie gives Charlotte a wedding day pep talk.
04:24Charlotte's wedding day with Harry hits a few bumps.
04:26And for someone who's always imagined perfection,
04:29it feels devastating.
04:30Carrie finds her crying in the bathroom and does what best friends do best.
04:34She reframes the moment.
04:35I think this is a good sign.
04:37I think the worse the wedding, the better the marriage.
04:41I have a stain on my dress.
04:43That's good!
04:44That's a good sign!
04:46Instead of focusing on what's going wrong,
04:48she reminds Charlotte what the day is actually about.
04:51Love, commitment, and choosing each other.
04:53Even when things don't go exactly as planned.
04:55You have a wonderful man who loves you,
04:59who will be there to catch you when you fall.
05:01Do you know how special that is?
05:02I would love to find a man who is strong enough to catch me.
05:06Carrie doesn't exactly dismiss Charlotte's feelings
05:08so much as meeting her where she is and gently pulling her back.
05:11Charlotte walks out stronger, steadier,
05:13and ready to enjoy her day because she knows if she should fall,
05:16there will always be someone to catch her.
05:18I don't like this, I'm afraid!
05:20Of what?
05:20What's the worst that can happen?
05:22We'll live happily ever after?
05:28Number 15.
05:29Miranda and Carrie fight about Paris.
05:32Not all great friendship moments are pretty.
05:34This one is raw, painful, and uncomfortable,
05:37which is exactly why it's so important.
05:40What about your job?
05:41I quit.
05:43What?
05:44When did you stop?
05:46We are done with the question portion of the program.
05:49Miranda is frustrated with Carrie's choice to move to Paris,
05:52but it isn't really about geography.
05:55It's fear.
05:55Fear of losing her best friend,
05:57and fear that Carrie is about to disappear into another relationship
06:00that might not take care of her.
06:02Why can't you be happy for me?
06:04I'm sorry, but...
06:06I don't understand why you have to move away and give up your life.
06:10The fight is brutal, but it's honest.
06:12There's no sugarcoating,
06:14no polite concern,
06:15just truth spilling out in the messiest way.
06:18It proved their bond was strong enough
06:20to withstand even the most brutal honesty and still come back.
06:23That kind of honesty only exists when the love is real.
06:26Just say it!
06:27You don't like him.
06:28Fine, I don't like him!
06:30Then don't you go to Paris with him.
06:34You're living in a fantasy!
06:36Number 14.
06:37Charlotte's pep talk.
06:38Carrie spiraling over big is practically a recurring character,
06:41but Charlotte handles it differently here.
06:43I know what you're gonna do.
06:44I mean, you can't not read it and you're gonna cry and it's gonna be awful.
06:49So let's just read it now and get it over with, okay?
06:52Instead of trying to stop the spiral or pretend it's not happening,
06:55she chooses to stay with Carrie through it.
06:57She knows Carrie's gonna fixate, so she doesn't fight it.
07:00She grounds her.
07:01This is such a strong friendship moment because it shows emotional intelligence.
07:05Yesterday in Southampton at the bride's parents' estate,
07:08there are only 50 guests.
07:10We wanted to keep it intimate, she said,
07:12just family and close friends.
07:13Yeah, in the New York Times.
07:15Really, how intimate is that?
07:16Charlotte understands that support doesn't always mean solutions.
07:20Sometimes, it just means being present while someone rides out their feelings.
07:23She can't erase Carrie's pain, but she can make it feel less isolating.
07:27He wasn't the right man for you.
07:28I know that.
07:29I know.
07:30It's not him.
07:31It's the whole wedding.
07:33And it's her.
07:34It's her.
07:36Her.
07:37That kind of support is often what people need most,
07:39even if it doesn't seem like much.
07:41Number 13.
07:42Friendship saves the wedding day.
07:44When Big unceremoniously jolts Carrie on their wedding day,
07:47her friends don't just offer pitying glances.
07:50No!
07:50No!
07:53Come on, I'm in the car.
07:56It's all right.
07:57It's all right.
07:57They jump into action, take control,
08:00and even turn what was supposed to be her honeymoon into a space for healing.
08:03Together, they support Carrie emotionally, physically, and without hesitation.
08:08Honey, you have to eat a little breakfast.
08:14I'm tired.
08:15I'll eat something, and you can go back to sleep.
08:18That same devotion is later reflected when Carrie shows up for Miranda on New Year's Eve,
08:22braving the cold and the subway just so Miranda doesn't feel alone.
08:26Together, these moments define their bond.
08:28They are chosen family.
08:30No matter how catastrophic the heartbreak or how lonely the moment feels,
08:34these women always make sure none of them ever has to face it alone.
08:37Well, apparently you can go home again, but it'll cost you.
08:41Now let's work on getting your things there.
08:43Wow.
08:44You two could rule the world.
08:46Number 12.
08:47Go get our girl.
08:48By the time Carrie moves to Paris,
08:50her friends have seen every big related heartbreak imaginable.
08:53They know the history, the damage, and the hold he has on her heart.
08:57Look, I need your advice.
09:00You three know her better than anyone.
09:02You're the loves of her life.
09:05And the guy's just lucky to come in fourth.
09:07So when Big calls, they step in first.
09:10That alone says everything.
09:11This is protective friendship at its peak.
09:14Big has to face the gatekeepers,
09:15and the looks he gets could freeze Cosmos.
09:18But if you think that she really is happy,
09:26well, I wouldn't want to wreck that for her.
09:29What makes the moment special is that once they believe his intentions are genuine,
09:33they stand down.
09:34Because they all have a joint cause now.
09:36Carrie's happiness.
09:37Miranda's four-word response seals it.
09:40Simple, fierce, and full of love.
09:42That's what it looks like when your friends have your back completely.
09:45Go get our girl.
09:46Number 11.
09:48Samantha doesn't judge.
09:49Carrie confesses her affair with Big to Samantha,
09:52expecting judgment, punishment, or at least a hard reality check.
09:56Three hours later,
09:57Deborah Kerr had revealed her awful secret to Cary Grant,
10:00and I'd still told no one mine.
10:04I slept with Big last week.
10:06Instead, she gets something quieter and arguably harder.
10:09Acceptance without endorsement.
10:11Samantha offers a new perspective by stepping away from the role of judge.
10:14Cary is already drowning in guilt and self-criticism,
10:17and Samantha instinctively knows piling on won't help.
10:20Don't beat yourself up.
10:22Aiden hasn't said I love you yet.
10:23Until he does, you're a free agent.
10:25What is that, the rules according to Samantha?
10:27See?
10:28I'm more old-fashioned than you think.
10:29In this moment, that is exactly what Cary needs,
10:32even if she doesn't recognize it herself.
10:34What Samantha's compassion offers is a much-needed space to breathe.
10:38Sometimes, friendship isn't about fixing or scolding.
10:41It's about letting someone sit in their mess without feeling completely condemned.
10:45That grace makes all the difference.
10:47Don't you want to judge me just a little bit?
10:50Not my style.
10:51Number 10.
10:52When Cary needs her friends after Aiden breaks up with her.
10:55One of the most controversial story arcs in the show's history
10:58was when Cary had an affair with Big while she was dating Aiden.
11:03But the guilt of lying to Aiden was like a hangover I couldn't sleep off.
11:06Not all of her friends condoned her actions.
11:09And just like the viewers,
11:11they understandably had their reservations about what she was doing.
11:14If it was me and my boyfriend was sleeping with somebody else for three weeks,
11:18I'd want to know about it.
11:19But when it came down to it,
11:20and Aiden broke up with her at Charlotte's wedding to Trey,
11:23Cary knew that she could lean on her girls when she really needed it,
11:27without any judgment.
11:29She was confident they would accept her despite her flaws.
11:32And she was right.
11:33It's hard to find people who will love you no matter what.
11:44I was lucky enough to find three of them.
11:47Number 9.
11:48Defending Miranda from the Body Shamers
11:50The ladies are in Atlantic City when a group of men comments on Miranda's body,
11:54who happens to be fresh off of having a baby.
11:56It is cruel, ugly, and uncalled for.
11:59But before Miranda has a second to even process what's happening,
12:02her friends step in and stomp on these guys with their metaphorical heels.
12:05What did you just say to her?
12:07Who the hell do you think you are?
12:09Their comebacks are so fast and sharp,
12:11it probably would have hurt less if they'd actually stepped on them in stilettos.
12:15The moment snaps Miranda back into herself,
12:17reminding her who she is.
12:19My ass is fat because I just had a baby, you a**hole.
12:23What's your excuse?
12:24Standing beside her without hesitation,
12:26they make one thing clear.
12:28Disrespecting one of them means answering to all four.
12:31And that kind of loyalty is everything.
12:34The Lennox-Lewis match sold out that night,
12:36but our heavyweight fight caused a bigger stir.
12:39Number 8.
12:40I'm There
12:40After Carrie and Aiden break up and the affair with Big finally ends,
12:44Carrie decides that she wants to meet up with Big in order to get some closure.
12:49Since when does Big talk?
12:51What does that mean?
12:52Miranda thinks she's making a terrible decision and should stay as far away from him as possible.
12:57Jesus, every time you get near him, you turn into this pathetic, needy, insecure victim.
13:02And the thing that pisses me off the most is that you're more than willing to go right back from
13:05work.
13:06The two women end up getting into what is probably the most significant fight they have throughout the series.
13:12Carrie, of course, has to make her own mistakes.
13:14But at the last minute, she calls Miranda to get her support.
13:17Even though Miranda hasn't changed her tune, she lets Carrie know that she'll be there for her, no matter what.
13:23But if I'm totally wrong and it is a huge mistake, I need to know you'll be there for me.
13:27I'm there.
13:28Number 7.
13:29Sam defends Charlotte
13:30In season 1, when the girls head out of town for a baby shower, no one is more enthusiastic than
13:37Charlotte.
13:38Hey guys, wait for me!
13:40Oh my god.
13:41But when she finds out that their old friend is planning on using the baby name that she invented for
13:46her unborn child,
13:47she is not going to stand for it.
13:49Shayla? Did you say Shayla?
13:51It's so unique, isn't it?
13:53It's so my name.
13:55Samantha misses the entire exchange.
13:57But when she hears Charlotte raise her voice, she comes in from another room and quickly jumps to her defense.
14:03We all know Sam couldn't care less about baby names, but she will do anything for her friends.
14:09And that is just one of the many reasons we love her.
14:12You bitch!
14:15Let's go.
14:18Number 6.
14:19You're my people
14:20In the show's final season, the creators introduced a more serious storyline than fans were used to.
14:25When Samantha is diagnosed with breast cancer, a somber tone is added to the plot.
14:30And the fact that her diagnosis comes during the same episode as Miranda's wedding, makes for an interesting juxtaposition.
14:36I found a lump, and I had a biopsy, and it turns out I have cancer.
14:40Sam doesn't want to spoil the day with her news.
14:43But when she tells Miranda that they'll talk later, and she should go back to her people, Miranda replies with
14:49a line that pretty much encompasses the whole series perfectly.
14:52You are my people, and we'll talk about it now.
14:57Number 5.
14:58Carrie acts as Miranda's labor coach.
15:00Carrie isn't exactly the maternal type, but neither is Miranda.
15:04That's why when Miranda goes into labor, she wants Carrie by her side the whole way through.
15:09Hi, I'm in labor. Meet me at Mount Sinai at 99th and 5th.
15:13Despite the fact that it's Biggs last night in New York, and they have a whole evening planned, Carrie knows
15:19that her friend needs her more.
15:21Carrie?
15:22Yeah.
15:25In the end, Carrie provides the exact support Miranda needs, telling both her nurse and eventually Steve to cool it
15:32when they get too emotional during the birth.
15:34Hey, what are friends for?
15:36Nurse.
15:39Number 4.
15:41Carrie supports Miranda at her mother's funeral.
15:43The girl's parents are rarely involved in their storylines, but in one season 4 episode, Miranda's mother suddenly passes away,
15:50leaving her shocked and bereft.
15:53My mom died.
15:54Oh my god.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Of course, in typical Miranda fashion, she tries to keep things bottled up, but her friends can tell that there's
16:02more going on below the surface,
16:04and struggle to give their condolences in the right way.
16:07I guess the first thing we should do is send some flowers.
16:10Right.
16:11Or a fruit basket.
16:12During the funeral, Miranda becomes visibly emotional, and rather than watch her friend walk down the aisle of the church
16:18alone,
16:19Carrie jumps out of her seat to join her at the last minute.
16:23Carrie always knows what Miranda needs, and knows when she needs it.
16:29Charlotte had been dealing with fertility issues for much of the fourth season, before Miranda finds out that she has
16:35unexpectedly gotten pregnant.
16:37I'm pregnant.
16:39When Miranda tells the group that she doesn't plan to keep the baby, Charlotte cannot handle it, and the two
16:45end up in a huge fight when they can't seem to see eye to eye.
16:48You're not even going to consider having it?
16:51This is not in my plans right now, and I really feel awful talking about this in front of you.
16:57When they run into each other, however, they still aren't quite on speaking terms when Charlotte shares some bad news.
17:03I can't get pregnant.
17:05If I can, you can.
17:07No, I can't.
17:10Despite their disagreement, Miranda walks home with Charlotte, and even though she doesn't turn back, she knows her friend is
17:17right behind her.
17:19Number 2.
17:20When Miranda meets Carrie at their place.
17:22In the first episode of the second season, Carrie is still getting over her breakup with Big.
17:27She tries dating someone else, but nothing can make her forget him.
17:30At the same time, she ends up having a big fight with Miranda.
17:34How does it happen that four such smart women have nothing to talk about but boyfriends?
17:39It's like 7th grade with bank accounts.
17:42When you see Carrie making a tearful phone call at a payphone, asking the person on the other end of
17:46the line to meet her at their place, viewers first assume she's talking to Big.
17:51When she arrives at the coffee shop, it's not Big waiting for her there, but Miranda.
17:56Talk about a heart-melting moment.
18:00Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.
18:04Carrie sticks up for Charlotte.
18:05Carrie tells the course leader where she can stick her positivity.
18:08Maybe you're not looking for love in a real way.
18:12Maybe you're not really trying.
18:13Maybe you're not really out there.
18:16Believe me.
18:18She's out there.
18:19Carrie supports Miranda after her panic attack.
18:22She offers Miranda a much-needed grounding truth.
18:25You did the right thing behind that apartment.
18:27You love it, right?
18:29Yeah.
18:30And you won't be alone forever.
18:33The truth was, I didn't know if any of us would end up alone.
18:36But I did know Miranda couldn't afford another panic attack.
18:40Mom confessions.
18:41Miranda gives Charlotte the space she needs to let go of her mom woes.
18:45I feel guilty.
18:46I feel so guilty because all I ever prayed for was to have a family and now I have these
18:51two beautiful girls.
18:53And?
18:54They're driving me crazy.
18:57Take a sip.
18:57Carrie looks after Samantha when she's sick.
18:59Even germs can't come between true friends.
19:02We're all alone, Carrie.
19:05Oh, we are not all alone.
19:08We have each other.
19:10Sam removes Carrie's diaphragm.
19:12Now that's next-level friendship.
19:14Go.
19:17And I just had my nails done.
19:19Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest
19:25videos.
19:25You have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them.
19:29If you're on your phone, make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications.
19:35Number 1.
19:36When the girls choose each other as soulmates.
19:39One of the show's most devastating episodes features Carrie attempting to celebrate her 35th birthday.
19:44But encountering issues when it seems that all of her friends have bailed on her.
19:4820 minutes later, still no party.
19:52She's left alone at a restaurant, questioning whether she's truly happy being single.
19:56And is forced to wonder if she needs a man in her life.
20:00The longer I sat at that table, the more alone I felt.
