I'm probably being generous with a score of 8 for this episode, only because this episode felt like it had remnants of the writing style and humor that was in the original SATC that built the fan base. It's also the first episode that doesn't piss WOKE culture into the carpet and rub your face into it. I feel like this episode finally addressed the actual issues that I thought would be dealt with when I heard about the concept for AJLT with the realities of ghosting, intimacy issues after being married for so long, fertility issues and of course, love after loss. I honestly am very disappointed and bored with the series as a whole and only continue to watch it because I do enjoy seeing all the former series regulars on the show, but cant stomach the weak writing and how they redeveloped these once bold and loveable characters into hollow, geriatric versions of their former selves...like a bad high school reunion (great to see everyone, shocked that this is what they've made if themselves and you leave not wanting to revisit the past ever again)
But like I said, one of the better episodes up until the 25 minute mark (you'll get it, not that I'm a hater) but the fashion is an upgrade, there is an effort at ridiculous comedic situations that our girl Carrie would always bring upon herself and it doesn't hurt that the more "toxic" characters have very little screen time or dialogue. If you're ready to give up on the series, this episode gives you a little bit of hope and if not that, a little refresher on how our girls used to be.
