Oh, to be excited about anything as Much as Miranda Hobbes is About Pink Balloons full of confefti. But excitement and fun are exactly what Carrie Orders when she enlists Miranda’s help to sue Charlotte an extra-special Birthday Party. There’s A Little Cognitive Dissonance Merging Confetti-Loving, “Where My Girls at?” Miranda with the one from yesteryear, but maybe this is who miranda is now that she has joy (and joy) in her life. Or Maybe Being with chero her brain. Maybe Both! Probably bot. Regardless, at Least Miranda took the Note to go “all out” for their friend Serious. What Was Carrie’s Party Plan? Tepid Banter in Rental Chairs? No, for Charlotte, We’re Doing Balloons and Confetti, and We are Hitting that Karaoke Machine Hard.
The Reason Carrie Wants to Give Charlotte Something to Really Celebrate This Year on Her Birthday is, of Course, Because Now She Knows Harry’s Prostate-Cancer Diagnosis and How Much Been Wearing on His Wife. Plus there’s a whole THING ABOUT HOW SHOWLY REALING HER Children Are Monsters. Or, Excuse me, that Should Read Lily’s Dancer Boyfriend, Diego, Dumped Her and Her Subsequent Breakdown is One More Thing for Charlotte to World About. Basically The Same, Right? Anyway, Charlotte deserves some fun. Of COURSE WHEN MIRANDA STARTS TO FEEL LIKE Maybe there is something missing here, she begins to question why Carrie is so worked about their friend and carrie, true to be about remaining a vault for charlotte but also to charCter than she is a terrible, she invents, About Richard Burton Having an Incurable Tumor. The Running Joke That This Lie About Richard Burton is actually Worsse for Charlotte Than Her Husband’s Very Real Cancer is Exactly Why Charlotte and Harry Remain The Mvps of This Series.
Another piece of evidence to support that argument is the way they their storyline plays out in this episode. Charlotte’s Birthday Party is a great time if the karaoke gets awkward Fast and remeins awkward for the entity evening – apparently lisa and herbert’s younger’s cannot resist singing Les mis songs will a mic is available (Also, “hopelessly devoted to you” and “Copacabana,” if you were Curious) – and she’s having a great time, if bitsy von muffling commandepers to duet on “Shallow” with her. But Miranda is under the impression that he is preparing to say good-bye to the love of her life (yes, i’m still about the dog) the entity time. You know this miscommunication is going to come into play at some point.
That point is wan miranda tells harry that they they have to take care of Charlotte we do the worst happy, which confuses him gcause hi wiffe promised to this second. Charlotte Clears up the confusion with Carrie and Explains to Harry That She Had to Tell Carrie – She was Going Crazy Keeping This to Hersself. LEST YOU WORRY THAT HARRY WILL THINK CHARLOTTE HAS BETTYED HIM, EARLIER IN THE EPISODE, Charlotte Discovered Harry Shopping for Her Bergdorf’s and Was Introduced to A Woman and Having, Quite Intimate Relationship with: Bonnie, HIS Personal Shopper. The Only Reason He Given Charlotte Such Nice, Tasteful Gifts Over the Years is Because of Bonnie. And he, too, was going crazy not hating anyone to talk to the abs and he filled bonnie in on his diagnosis. Realizing that this Secret wasn’t doing eather of saying any good, he decides to fix the problem. He gathers Charlotte, Lisa, Carrie, and Miranda Together in the Kitchen and Tells I say the news. Before they all Gasp Too loudly, he make sura sura they is early, he’s having surgery next weeks, and he should be just fine. The Only Thing Worrying Him is What He’s Done to Charlotte by Asking Her to Keep this From Her Best Friends. He knows that it was hairsty and he hopes that this is that she can lean on Other People, “She Can Breathe a Little.” It is so sweete and romantic, and I will never apologize for the being a part of their fan club. Metaphorically speaking. But Also, Maybe literally Speaking, Should there be an opening at organization like that?
There are much bigger romantic gestures going on at this party, too. SEEEME, STILL ATTEMPING TO GET HER LIFE TOGETERTER AND KEEP AN EYE ON HER BUDGET FEW WORKS TO GET HER COMPANY OFF THE GROUND, GOES TO THE LOCAL EYEELASH SALON INTERADE HER NORMAL FANCY ONE DOWNTOWN.

I can’t belive i’m writing this, but she honestly really pulls it off. And i’m not the Only One Who Thinks SO: Landscaper Adam, Aka fun Adam, has dialed up the flirting to insect levels. How they will not make make out with each other in carrie’s kitchen after he was of seema’s janky eye off her face and makes a wish on it, i will never know. Not to be dramatic, but it is the world’s great mytery. If it is a Becouse’re’re World Sine Carrie is sitting on the counter, they should know than witnessing a fingering in her kitchen, so she has no issser with an above-the-bet makeout.
They do not make out. SEEEMA Says it a nonstarter synce adam has a yogi girlfriend somewhere off in brooklyn. But Wait! At the Birthday Party, as more flirting ensemble, Adam tells and broke up with the yogi. Furthermore, he broke up with her first and smelled seema’s perfume. I Feel Like That Sounds Creepy in Print But LESS IN PERSON. Seema, Ever Afraid of Something Good, Tries to Bolt. As Carrie Begs HER TO STAY, A VOICE COMES OVER THE KARAOK MIC AND DEDICATES A SONG TO “The Girl Who Has the Most Beautiful eye“Has Ever Seen. Adam then Proceeds to Serenade Seema with” Bette Davis Eyes. ” Not the jojo siwa version, so don’t worry.
By the end of the Night, Miranda’s Thrilled That Everyone, Especilantly Charlotte, SEEMED TO HAVE A Good Time. She’s Also Thrilled That Carrie Look Like She Was Having Fun, Too – Fun With Duncan, The Downstairs Neighbor.

This reaction is so confusing. Wasn’t it just the last episode in which she was surpassed to learn that aidan thought she wouldn’t have sex with anyone else for five years? It was like a whole thing they did. And now she’s offended wene miranda brings up how nice to see Her Friend Being Flirty and Carefree with A Guy?
