Recap of a Random SATC episode part 3

A Vogue Idea - Season 4 Episode 65

This is the episode where Carrie is trying to move on with her life after her second major break up with Aidan, and gets a new job at Vogue.  It's also where Charlotte throws a baby shower for Miranda, and Samantha attempts a three way with her boyfriend and a much younger woman.

Carrie gets what she considers her dream job working for the biggest fashion magazine in the world, but fails to wow her main editor, Enid.  (A character who ends up returning throughout the rest of the series and movies off and on) But is taken pity on by her other editor Julian who tries to seduce her.

Carrie's question of the week is "I couldn't help but wonder, how much does a father-figure Figure?"

We see Carrie talking about her dad having run off when she was a kid to Julian,(which is undone in the prequel books)  who informs her that she's been doing the relationship column because she never had a dad. But Miranda tells Carrie that growing up, Miranda's dad was around all the time and she still is messed up about men, when they are discussing her fears over being a single mom.

This episode is about the next stages in life. One character is dealing with a new job, another with a new baby, one is dealing with the end of her marriage, and the last the end of being single.
This episode is also another one of the traditional vs modern themes that runs throughout the series.
We start to see a more grown up sense of Carrie fashion wise. Some of her outfits start to tone down slightly, and Miranda's start to soften a bit, making her seem less businesslike all the time, as she takes on the mommy role.

This episode has one of my favourite set of quotes

Carrie-:"Is it vogue?" (when she is at the Vogue office)

"I'm drunk...I'm drunk at Vogue." (she moves her arm and her drink spills everywhere) " oopps I spilled. I spilled at Vogue"



Samantha -:"She might be 21, but I have 21 years of experience. I could f**k her under the table."

Carrie -:"In a three-way situation, it might come to that"  (when they are at the baby shower)
