How callous. You don't think someone would still be overwhelmed by grief 3-4 months after a spouse's sudden DEATH? Objectively, is Miranda's sex life issues as important, or worth losing friends over? I don't think so.

Even more bizarre that it was the wonderful Jonathan Groff. He must have slummed in the part as a favor to SJP or her hubby.

I thought he was fabulously funny as a slimy plastic surgeon. That smooth voice. Best thing on the show thus far.

OMG this! +1 x one million!

I am not the poster who made the original comment, but I disagree. At what point can her friends bring up their problems? If Carrie can go to her friends' family Diwali celebration, she can sure as hell talk about Miranda's mid-life crisis/sexual awakening for 20 minutes.

She never said she didn't want to talk about it, she said she didn't want to *fight* about it.

She’s always been selfish and unlikable. Remember what she and Steve did to their respective partners when they got back together at Brady’s first birthday? Immature and scummy.

Well I think that could be excused in the "they're each other's lobsters" contexts, and they shared a child. But Miranda's current actions play even worse in light of that, true.

This has never been a show about a bunch of perfect people and their perfect relationships. How many people do you know like that?

Boring. We need to learn to let shows die.

Hmm, I will go back and watch it. I get the sense she is angry about Miranda's escapade with Che and this has muddied the waters so to speak. FWIW, I am on Carrie's side about that.

At first Carrie seemed like she didn't want to cop to knowing about it, or being fine with it, but talked Miranda off the ledge when she was going to storm out. "We've lost Samanta, can't lose someone else...we can disagree but you can't leave"--something like that--and steered her back.

Those trashing Carrie here, I wouldn't have much patience for a cheating drama either if I was still in the immediate aftermath of losing a spouse.

One of the few things I like about this series is that at least two of them have not effed with their faces. So rare these days!

Oh they’ve ALL had work done, but two of them have had better work done than the other one. There is absolutely no universe in which all of these women have not been getting fillers and Botox (at a minimum) for decades.

DP. Yeah, but I think there's a difference between effing with your face and getting really good, subtle work done. That isn't what I'd call effing it up, but it might just be a vocabulary usage difference.

My only complaint, it’s time to lose “Rambo”, she can call herself Miranda now. Was really hoping that was the pause before she sent the text. I thought it was a cute crush affectation using the nickname at first, now I want her to own her experience. Using her own name in that text would have shown a wee bit of growth/self awareness.

While I did like that she gathered her friend, Carrie’s empathy doesn’t extend to actually listening- ever. Even in episode 1 before Big died she was cutting off the conversation when either friend mentioned their children, like she could not be bothered. Mourning can make you a bit myopic but other people exist beyond comforting or distracting her.

I thought the same! And was disappointed. Her lack of confidence is hard to watch.
