Did Carrie and Aidan finally hit a bump in the road? With one episode of And Just Like That… season two left, their relationship looks precarious as a family emergency wrenches Aidan away from New York—just as they were planning to embark on their new life together.
On this week’s Still Watching, hosts Hillary Busis, Richard Lawson, and Chris Murphy unpack the 10th episode of And Just Like That… season two, “The Last Supper: Part One: Appetizer”—which sees Charlotte assert her independence, Che make jokes at Miranda’s expense, and Carrie prepare for a Michelin-star dinner party to say goodbye to her old apartment. Carrie and Aidan seem as happy as ever at the beginning of the episode, traipsing around Coney Island visiting Steve’s new clam shop and planning to move into their great big apartment. “Seeing Aidan and Steve back together really did feel like the old Sex and the City,” says Murphy.
But their idyl is broken by a phone call from Aidan’s ex-wife, Kathy (Rosemarie DeWitt), who tells Aidan that their son Wyatt has gotten into an accident. A devastated Aidan travels back to Norfolk, leaving Carrie feeling worried for the first time in their rekindling relationship. Still Watching’s hosts agree that with one episode left in the season, And Just Like That… may end with Carrie and Aidan not together, or at the very least, agreeing to slow down their relationship. “I can definitely see them winding up to a conclusion that’s like, ‘Not right now, but maybe someday our time will be right,’” Busis says.
Aidan may not be the only person skipping Carrie’s last supper. After Nya calls Miranda out for cutting her exes out of her life, Miranda decides to attend one of Che’s infamous comedy concerts with Carrie and Aidan. Once there, though, Miranda finds that she’s the butt of all of Che’s new jokes—leading to a screaming argument between the two exes. All three hosts agreed that Che’s jokes went over the line, though a few have sympathy for Che’s perspective. “I thought the salient line was Che saying to Toby, ‘I’m so sick of having to explain myself,’” says Lawson.
After her argument with Che, Miranda tries to bow out of the dinner party, prompting Carrie to give her some tough love to keep her from canceling. “I loved that moment from Carrie, because it felt like vintage Carrie Bradshaw being a terrible friend,” says Busis. “‘Listen, Miranda: I know your ex just talked really intimately about your terrible breakup, and talked about how shitty you are, and your ex-husband is coming too. But guess what? It’s my day. So you’re gonna be there.’”
Elsewhere, Charlotte is killing it at her new job, to the dismay of her family, while Seema accidentally says “I love you” to her new beau. Lisa Todd Wexley shares her misgivings about having another child with her husband, only to wake up in the middle of the night to find she’s apparently having a miscarriage. That storyline, at least, rang a bit hollow. “What was the purpose of the pregnancy scare,” wonders Busis, “if it just means that now her life is going to go back exactly the way it was before?”
After having a debate with his new lover, Giuseppe, about who’s the top and who’s the bottom, Anthony finally gets closure when Carrie tells him that Stanford has moved to Japan permanently to become a monk. Loose ends are being tied up in ways that prompt Still Watching to wonder whether we are approaching the end of the series rather than the season. The hosts also discuss how Kim Cattrall’s grand return as Samantha Jones may figure into the final episode. Murphy has one idea: “Maybe we can get a shot of Samantha sitting in the empty chair at dinner…. It’s not out of the realm of the possibility for Samantha to pop up and be there at the table.”
How will Samantha figure into the final episode? Who will sit in Aidan’s empty chair? Will Carrie end up happily ever after with Aidan? With only one episode remaining in the season, there’s still a lot to discover on And Just Like That.
