And just like that, Big died, she says.
Within the episode, though, Bigs death is pretty telegraphed from the jump.
All of their scenes together are so blissful you know its too good to be true.
Theyre cooking dinner together (yes, Carrie cooks now!)
and dancing in the kitchen, and Big is serenading his wife.
Theyre cute and loving in bed.
They just seem so happy.
When will we all learn that Pelotons are evil and exercising is dumb?
But the real kicker is, of course, the last real moment between Carrie and Big.
He does, of course: Shes wearing her blue Manolo Blahniks her wedding shoes.
Just, like, never say that to people, okay?
you could see in his face he knows this is the end.
Hes still alive, but barely, and there is no saving him.
Hes alive just long enough to look into Carries eyes.
Shes screaming and holding him, and then its over.
All I can think about are those shoes.
Now shes worn them on both the happiest and saddest days of her life.
Honestly, I cannot emphasize this enough but with all sincerity: Fuck you, Peloton.
First, it givesAnd Just Like That …incredible momentum for the season.

The big to-do with the York-Goldenblatt contingent of the show at the moment is Lilys aforementioned piano recital.
Its taking place at the Manhattan School of Music.
THE MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, CARRIE.
Its a big deal, and Charlotte and Harry are beyond proud of their musical-genius eldest daughter.
Its clear Charlotte and Rose just dont understand each other.
Keep a note of that.
And what of the fourth member of our quartet?
Do I believe Samantha would be so wounded shed run away?
The lack of Samantha energy can be felt for sure, but its fine.
Were all going to be fine.
I mean, maybe.
Once I can stop thinking about those damn wedding shoes.
Things really have changed!
Dont worry, Stanford and Anthony have already made their grand entrance onto the revival scene.
They are forever fighting.
Listen, I dont hate it.
It still remains an A-plus name.
But hes not the one who stepped in the used condom, now is he?
Were all for sex positivity here but, come on, the teens need some boundaries.
