This chapter of the series is starts with Carrie's digital lifeline, her laptop. The story commences with Carrie, in the throes of marketing her latest book, grappling with an influencer-led Zoom interview. This influencer, however, has conducted no prior investigation on Carrie's recent memoir, a lamenting account of Big's demise and her subsequent grief. Carrie's interview underscores the superficiality that often infiltrates the internet, where research and factual accuracy often play second fiddle.
Carrie's bemused admission that her book revolves around the theme of death leaves her interviewer humorously perplexed. She then awkwardly inquires about her current preferred lipstick shades. The punchline is the influencer's obliviousness, being engrossed with her own content, the interview flounders and drifts into a humorous commentary on generational misunderstanding. However, relief washes over Carrie when her laptop tumbles off its makeshift stand, mercifully terminating the interview.
As an author, Carrie is very familiar with book promotions. However, promoting a book on her grief journey as a widow is uncharted territory. A turning point is when her agent, Amanda, nudges her towards Widow-Con, a convention for widows, much to Carrie's reluctance. Karrie spearheads this event with a K, formerly known as Karen. Karrie is Carrie’s previous writing companion from the '90s. Their rapport is strained, to say the least.
In search of moral support, Carrie invites Che to accompany her to Widow-Con, which unfolds against a snowstorm. Carrie is taken aback by the audience's response to a hacky comedian, Patty Thomas, who jests about widowhood. Despite this, Carrie's reading from her book, where she shares her journey of personal transformation, leaves a profound impact on the audience, including Che.
As she navigates her new widowhood and single status, Carrie and Seema agree to rent a summer house in the Hamptons. This sets the stage for the subsequent summer episode, whenever possible. Meanwhile, Charlotte strives to be a progressive, sex-positive mother when Lily announces her intentions to lose her virginity. A mix-up results in a frantic search for condoms. This leads to an awkward conversation between Charlotte and Carrie, culminating in Charlotte coming through for Lily in a heartfelt moment of mother-daughter solidarity.
Che's refusal to indulge Miranda's desires marks the end of their relationship, a development not mourned by many. After a dispute over Che's inconsiderate recording of Cameo videos at night, Miranda asserts herself. She paves the way for a return of the old Miranda we know and love - Thank God!
However, Miranda's marital woes are far from over as she navigates the landscape of her divorce from Steve. Meanwhile, Lisa Todd Wexley navigates her own story, walking to the Met Ball and MOMA and showing us a touching moment when she takes off her wig.
In the midst of all these personal narratives, the episode concludes with Carrie musing over past relationships, specifically her relationship with Aidan. She sends an email to him and the audience has to wonder what might be next in Carrie's personal saga. "And Just Like That" continues to craft compelling narratives while keeping its audience on their toes, eagerly awaiting what will unfold next.
Season 2 of ‘And Just Like That’ is now streaming on Max.
