Back at Larissa’s drug den- Carrie finds Bennettt and starts hitting on him. Bennett breaks the news to Carrie that Walt ran off alone. Carrie is pissed- Walt is wandering the City HIGH on drugs!!! So were the bulk of the people in the 80’s and most of them turned out ok.

Well maybe not EVERYONE turned out ok…

Carrie doesn’t understand, Bennett had told her he would keep an eye on Walt. They walk into Larissa’s room and see a dude, dressed as one of the cast of Cats, groping an unconscious Larissa.

Touch me
It’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You’ll understand what happiness is

Carrie yells at him to get off of her. (Wasn’t there a 90210 Halloween episode where the Cowboy tries to rape Kelly?) Bennett doesn’t really care, after all, Larissa got herself into this situation. Carrie asks if he feels the same way about Walt??? Um, yeah, probably, Bennett has known Walt for all of 45 minutes. Carrie tells Bennett to look after Larissa, as she needs to go look for Walt. And Carrie tells him to NOT take advantage of Larissa while she is gone. Bennett responds “She’s not my type, breeder.” (ok, I threw in the “breeder”) Carrie deduces he is gay.

I added 2 +2 and got gay

On the drug soaked streets of Manhattan, Walt sees two dudes walking hand in hand.

He witnesses two other dudes harassing them for being gay.

“Street Thugs took my armoire?”

Walt, oddly, intervenes because he realizes he is just like them. (yeah, well, except he’s not holding anyone’s hand… and he’s dressed like a big-ear’d Prince with a horse fetish.)

Carrie, eventually, finds Walt. Walt is upset. He thought he wanted to be a part of the party scene in Manhattan, but now he thinks he can’t handle it. They decide to leave. Carrie consoles him, the pill will wear off, he’s just not himself- because of the ecstasy. But for the first time Walt IS himself.

As Carrie walks home from the train, she realizes, Manhattan has shown its dark side, but she left the city knowing what she wanted to be: a good friend. When Carrie gets to her house, she finds Sebastian there, with, a baked, Mouse.

Tee Hee, I have the munchies

He apologizes and says it is weird that he is there, but he knew it would be wrong to ditch Mouse. Carrie thanks him for being a good friend to Mouse. Meanwhile, Mouse just wants some Pop Rocks and a Chocodile. After Sebastian leaves, Carrie tells Mouse “You’ve got some serious explaining to do!”

    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 . . .
