Dad- his name is Tom, btw, is going crazy looking for something, and for once it isn’t The Dorrit. He can’t find his wedding ring. He calls Harlan (George’s Dad and Tom’s poon-hunting partner) to see if he happened to see it at the gym?

Harlan wants to know why the heck he is still wearing it??? Yeah, it’s been, like 15 minutes since his wife died- he should be moving on. (FYI- my mother died almost 25 yrs ago and my dad STILL wears his wedding band) Harlan tells Tom that Grace (Carrie’s mom) would want him to move on. This leadsTom to question how Harlan would know what Grace wanted?
Over in Geekville, Mouse is setting up a date with Seth.
Oh Mouse, you are like sexual napalm
They haven’t done the tube steak boogie since they have been back together and Mouse is getting anxious. Mouse’s parents are going away for the weekend and she wants Seth to come over and bone her. Seth reminds her that “sex isn’t everything. ” Mouse thinks it’s weird that they haven’t done it again and begins to question if she might be BAD at it. She’s 16, of course she’s bad at it. She isn’t Tracy Lords for god’s sake.
I just noticed a little goof. While Mouse is on the phone, we see an achievement plaque/award, behind her head and it reads “Jill Chen.” But on IMDB, Mouse’s real name is listed as Jill Thompson. In last week’s episode Mouse said that her parents, who are immigrants to the US (they moved to a place where they didn’t speak the language… and they speak English in CT- primarily), put pressure on her to succeed, yada yada yada. I don’t think Thompson is a popular Chinese Surname.
Maybe Mouse is in the Witness Protection Program
Anyhoooo, Carrie needs to take her driver’s test, which appears to be taking place in a park. ???
Driving tests in Connecticut do NOT look like this
As always, the test ends with a parallel parking challenge- Carrie has done well on her test and is super-confident in her parallel parking skills- she is certain she will ace it… so you know something will happen, right? When Carrie looks in her rearview mirror she spies Sebastian and Super Vixen Donna LaDonna kissing!!! She jams on the gas, in an obvious assassination attempt- and flunks her driver’s test.
You’re a virgin who can’t drive
Carrie’s Dad scolds her to never lose her focus.
Sebastian tells Donna to give him a minute with Carrie. He feels badly that she found out about he was dating Donna in this manner. Carrie plays it cool- she tells him that he doesn’t need to hide anything from her. She’s cool, she has moved on and she’s seeing someone too.
Why would I care if you are giving Donna the hot beef injection?
If you like it, spread it!:

I want to like this show. I like small moments of it. I really wish it was set when Carrie was a bit older (College maybe) and I have no interest at all in any if the dad plot lines. I ff through them all.
whyyyy did carrie put that horrible necklace on over that pretty neckline?! also, that tutu is exactly like my wedding dress, only, you know, less ivory and more black (okay, and less puffy because i had crinoline). i would so wear a skirt like that again (only it’s hot as hell). just. dump the nasty necklace.
i do like this show. i think probably BECAUSE i never watched or read sex and the city, so i don’t give a crap about consistency. it’s my mindless/silly show for now.
I don’t recall the over sized necklaces being so popular in the 80s.
Misred bless you for remembering all of these shows and movies from the past as they are clearly stealing scenes/moments. I forgot which part of this episode, but I was like oh hell no that happened in blank – but I can’t remember.
Really arguing over a booth in a diner? Come on.
I think Doritt was on her way to a White Castle and got lost.
@labowner — I got into a fist fight with a girl in 6th grade over a desk in a school room. but I’m not sure of I would have at 16, unless it was with my sister, lol
Oh, my eyes! The only necklace I’m okay with is Blythe’s. I do think I remember chunky jewelry in the later ’80s but not during the Reagan administration. However this was the Madonna era so i’m sure every girl caried (ha!) a tutu in her purse.
