This is Charlotte's wedding to Harry. Carrie has to get over her fear of heights in order to complete an article, and ends up having a horrible one night stand with a friend of Harry's. Samantha has a bunch of little every day things happen that makes her wish she didn't live alone. And Miranda has to face the fear of meeting her ex; Steve's new girlfriend when they come by to pick up the baby.
The quote of the week "When did it stop being fun and start being scary?"
Fans call this episode "jack rabbit sex" because of a line spoken between Carrie and Stanford when talking about the one night stand. She comments on how bad it was because the guy really had no idea what he was doing and she was afraid to tell him that.
Throughout the series, Carrie has been searching for the "right guy" and the "right relationship" usually ending up with disappointment. In this episode, she lets her friends set her up with a guy who's only in town for a few days for "fun". But the guy ends up wanting more and when he realizes that it was just meant to be a one night stand, he reacts like a wounded child disrupting the wedding.
This episode is about facing the fears that keep you from finding peace within yourself. They play off of the idea that "what's the worst that can happen?" (there is about three accidents that happen to Charlotte and Miranda during the wedding from a slip and fall to a fire)
It also expands on the theme of sometimes imperfection is the real perfection, which has been a thread through most of the season to that point.
Another point they make, when Carrie, Miranda and Samantha are gathered at Charlotte's party, is about how nothing is truly casual anymore. All of them are dressed up, at what is suppose to be a casual event talking about the pitfalls of having casual sex. Carrie lets them talk her into the idea of casual sex but finds her original theory is more honest for her.
This is also one of the few episodes where the title of the episode is mentioned more then once.
