SJP’s Carrie Bradshaw went into the ultimate episodes of the collection as a single girl, after splitting from Corbett’s Aidan Shaw and a one-night stand together with her neighbor downstairs, Duncan, who moved again to London. She additionally struggled to write down an epilogue for her novel, after her writer needed it to have a contented ending — as in, have her foremost character find yourself with a romantic companion, or at the least the potential for one.

Like the principle character in her ebook, Carrie questioned what her future would seem like … and whether or not she would discover love once more. The episode began off together with her visiting a Chinese language restaurant with robotic servers, solo, with the hostess placing a large plush little one within the sales space together with her so she did not “should eat alone.” The expertise was mortifying, with Carrie telling Miranda, LTW and Seema — however not Miranda, as, bizarrely, neither the principle 5 forged members nor the core returning three stars all appeared in the identical scene anyplace within the finale — about her lunch with a “facet of disgrace.”

“Apparently, not solely is it tragic for ladies to be alone prior to now,” she mentioned, referring to her ebook, including, “it is also a problem for ladies sooner or later.”

In a dialog with Charlotte later, Carrie admitted she would possibly “be alone for the remainder of my life,” questioning “who” she’ll be alone. She admitted that after Massive died, she at the least had Aidan as a risk behind her thoughts, feeling she will not be alone for lengthy. However with that additionally achieved for good, she realized she has to “give up pondering, ‘Perhaps a person,’ and begin accepting, ‘Perhaps simply me,'” including that it is “not a tragedy,” however a “truth.” She instructed Charlotte it was time she begin accepting that reality.

After that realization, she additionally instructed landscaper Adam she needed one thing a bit of extra “wild” and “free” for her backyard, “one thing extra me,” signifying her embrace of the only life.

Following Miranda’s disastrous Thanksgiving dinner — extra on that beneath — Carrie’s remaining moments of the present confirmed her returning to her townhouse, retaining her heels on as she walked across the house. She then turned on the karaoke machine left over from Charlotte’s birthday bash, and cued up Barry White’s, “You are The First, The Final, My All the things.”

What adopted was a montage displaying everybody having fun with the pies Carrie delivered to them earlier within the episode — together with Anthony and Giuseppe, Charlotte and her household, LTW and Herbert, Seema and Adam’s hippie buddies, and Pleasure and Miranda.

The episode — and collection as a complete — ended with Carrie rewriting her epilogue, ending her ebook with, “The girl realized she was not alone – she was on her personal.” She then danced down her hallway one final time and out of body eternally.

Cynthia Nixon’s Miranda Hobbes realized in latest episodes that her college-aged son, Brady, was anticipating a baby. Neither she nor ex-husband Steve took the information nicely, although, inflicting stress between all of them. Regardless of pondering his child mama was a “vengeful fool,” each Miranda and Steve vowed that “there isn’t any manner our grandkid just isn’t going to know us.”

The finale passed off on Thanksgiving, which Miranda hosted. Everybody stored dropping out of dinner, together with Charlotte and Miranda’s girlfriend Pleasure, so the dinner solely included Carrie, Brady, Brady’s child mama, two of the newborn mama’s buddies and Charlotte’s boss, Mark Kasabian (Victor Garber), who Charlotte invited to arrange with a very uninterested Carrie.

Miranda apprehensive that Pleasure bailing due to a “sick” canine was all a lie, after Pleasure witnessed a struggle between her and Brady about his impending little one in a earlier episode. After Carrie instructed her to name Pleasure, Miranda did simply that — and realized the canine was truly on the vet getting emergency surgical procedure and rushed to be by Pleasure’s facet, solidifying their relationship.

After Miranda returned house solo, the dinner itself was a catastrophe, with Brady’s child mama and her buddies taking over far an excessive amount of display time for the present’s remaining episode … and clogging the bathroom with waste viewers truly needed to see. “S–t occurs,” Carrie quipped, as Miranda famous she was taking up everybody else’s “s–t,” together with her son’s. The silver lining: Pleasure stopped by, proving she’s pleased to spend the vacations with Miranda’s household, irrespective of the mess.

Following his struggle with most cancers, Charlotte’s husband Harry was having a tough time getting it up within the bed room — with Charlotte telling LTW Harry was “devastated our life stay is not what it was.”

When requested how the state of affairs made her really feel, Charlotte mentioned, “It is not likely about me proper now” — earlier than insisting she’d “completely” marry him another time, realizing all she is aware of now and all they have been by means of.

Whereas cooking Thanksgiving dinner for her household, Harry interrupted her basting to tell her he was “crisp and able to baste” — earlier than the 2 ran off to “give thanks,” i.e., have intercourse.

After simmering flirtations between the filmmaker and her editor, Mehcad Brooks’ studly Marion Odin, Lisa lastly put up a tough wall between them.

As he needed the pair to seize dinner collectively and rejoice Michelle Obama presumably narrating their docuseries about unsung Black ladies, she mentioned all this wanted to cease — telling him, “we won’t go for a drink or for dinner or go anyplace exterior of this edit bay, this must be about work, simply work, and we’ve to reel no matter that is again in.”

He agreed to maintain it skilled, realizing it could “smash every thing” for them each, earlier than she later made it clear to her husband that, regardless of him going by means of a little bit of a depressive episode after shedding his metropolis comptroller bid, they may make it by means of every thing collectively.

She was final seen accepting a pie from Carrie, earlier than spending Thanksgiving together with her household.

The finale, nonetheless, had her questioning their future collectively after he made it clear he by no means actually needed to get married, calling weddings a “waste of time” and “such a ridiculous thought.” That despatched her right into a little bit of a tailspin, as she mentioned she’s been “groomed” to need a wedding ceremony her entire life — calling the romance of all of it one thing she’s at all times dreamed of. “At this age, do I actually need it or am I simply programmed for it?”

When Carrie mentioned she needed to get married as a result of it made her “really feel chosen,” Seema questioned whether or not she felt chosen by Adam … or if it was even his accountability to make her really feel that manner. Later, when Carrie had a one-on-one with Adam as nicely, he made it clear he sees himself with Seema for good — telling her, “She’s particular, she’s a lifetime.”

She and Adam had been final seen spending the vacation along with his buddies, Seema wanting extra relaxed than she’s ever been.
