Carrie introduces Walt to Larissa. Larissa loves their costume, but swears Charles and Di’s marriage is one of convenience and it will never last. Charles is still hung up on some woman from the stables- “Camilla Parker something.”

Why the long face?

Ah the joy of a “period” tv show, you can make the characters clairvoyant. Regardless, Carrie thinks Charles and Di are meant for each other.

Something tells me these aren’t Flintstone’s Vitamins…

Larissa hands Carrie and Walt some “food.” Two ecstasy tablets. Carrie is unsure she wants to get eat a random pill, but Walt is game, he swallows his right down. Carrie throws hers on the floor. They note the Larissa looks like she’s having a good time acting like a baby bird.

Excuse me while I lick this wall. 

Carrie runs off to look for Bennett, who might as well be dressed like Liberace. Teenage Carrie has zero gaydar.

Mouse and Mags decide to crash Sebastian’s Halloween party. They figure they owe it to Carrie to check it out. If something happens there, Carrie should hear it from them. They are prepared for a confrontation, but Sebastian couldn’t have been nicer and invited them right in.

Welcome to Delta House… come on in

Back in Ecstasyland, Carrie is hitting on Bennett as they admire a graffiti artist painting one of Larissa’s walls. Carrie wishes she could draw…and spot a gay guy at 20 paces. Walt is high and wishes the graffiti artist was painting him. Bennett wants to know more about Carrie- he’s interviewing for a new beard- Carrie is unsure if she should tell Bennett about the REAL her. The 16 year old one that stalks boys and breaks into legal files, lies to her boss and is usually grounded. Before she can decide, Larissa comes and drags her away.

You could use a mint

Apparently the reason Larissa dragged Carrie away was to watch Larissa cluck like a chicken. Carrie realizes Larissa has taken too many drugs and feels the need to babysit her. But Larissa thinks she should take another ecstasy pill- she’s hungry. She only took 2 ecstasy, champagne and some funny paper. Carrie realizes Larissa took acid and is like “You are f*cked.” Larissa is going to need to watched like a hawk. Speaking of hawks, Larissa wants to go up to the roof and jump off…because she can FLY!!!! Good idea.

Back in boringtown, aka Connecticut, Dad is dressed up, in a VERY authentic-looking, Chewbacca outfit- he answers the door to give out candy and winds up scaring the kids away.

Grrrrrraaaaaahhhhhh

It’s a good thing because The Dorrit ate all of the Halloween Candy.

    man, carrie is such an annoying sister. she’s like my sister, except i’m older. she always ratted on me for everyone and it made me want to shove her out a window. why does carrie care that dorrit wants to go tp houses? i remember when my youngest sister (aka NOT the rat) was about 15, my mom asked her if she would be tp’ing any houses on halloween, and my sister said no, to which my mom responded, “why not? loser!”

    i wonder if walt will EVER come out before the show gets cancelled. i think it’s cute, and i’m not even a fan of all things ’80s, as i don’t remember the ’80s at all (i was 5 in 1990, so for good reason), but if anything, i almost feel like sex and the city fans must not like it as much due to all the alleged inconsistencies? i have no idea because i refused to watch sex and the city, mostly because it seemed annoying and all the annoying girls i didn’t like watched it. i also never watched 90210 (i think i was definitely too young for that one, since it started when i was watching the disney channel and pbs cartoons), so i’m also not aware of the rip-offs while i watch. i wonder if it’s because they’re lazy, or because they’re actually expecting teenagers to watch this? to me, it seems like it would be more aimed at people who grew up in the ’80s. i mean, i would watch a show about high school in the late ’90s for sure.

    i love your recaps, so for the sake of continuing to read them, i hope they don’t can this show just yet.

    They should have never aired this piece of crap. My gawd a grown woman living in NYC only has a 16 year old for a friend to take care of her at her own party? Please

    I do love your recaps MisRed.

    Dorrit is a stoner extraordinaire. Why hasn’t Carrie ratted her out about that? I had a lot of crap on my sister growing up, no way would she ever narc on me to my parents like that.

    I think the expectations were too high for this show. It would be hard to follow in SatC’s footsteps, just as it would be hard if NBC tried to make a “Friends” spin-off about Ross, Monica and Rachel in high school.
    SatC the tv show had very little relationship to SatC the book. Candace Bushnell did a great job in retconning the Carrie Bradshaw character in the Diaries books and introducing Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte slowly. The writers of this series are trying to stick with CB’s books and maintain a cohesiveness with the tv show. Not an easy job IMO. I’m still mad that the Bradshaws live in Connecticutt and not the midwest. I kept picturing young Sarah Jessica Parker as Rusty from “Footloose” when I read the first book. :)

    I’m just going to say that I disliked Freyma Aygeman(sp?) since she appeared on Doctor Who. It does not surprise me that Martha Jones is a shoplifting druggie. JK

    This show is super silly. One week Carrie’s dad is like, “I don’t know if I can trust you.” And the next week, he’s all, “Have fun at that Halloween party in New York City!”

    But I love it.

    Also, I think 16 year-old Carrie is a much better friend than 30/40 year-old Carrie. I wonder what happened to make her so self-involved . . .
