They have a verbal altercation because the dinner belongs to Mags and Carrie.  Mags tells Donna “I have two older brothers and I’m not afraid to bite.”  So Mags dumps some french fries on Donna who hops out of the booth in shock.  Mags and Donna continue to both claim the booth.

Back at the Jewels Party, dinner has arrived.  George asks Blythe how her stint in rehab went?  Blythe is shocked that George would bring it up.  If he wants to hear about it, they can talk in private. George comments that she doubts Carrie will want to hear about rehab. Blythe comments that she forgot Carrie was in attendance.  Carrie responds that she “didn’t think you would be interested in her trip to DMV.”  Another snobby dude says- asks if DMV is near the Dominican Republic?  Carrie clarifies that it’s the Department of Motor Vehicles.  All of the snobs chuckle because, hahahahahahaha, they don’t drive.  George tells Carrie he would like to learn to drive and he wants her to teach him.

Kick calls George away and Blythe tells Carrie that she is sweet and charming, but George will tire of slumming it and return to his proper place- with Blythe.  Carrie replies “I don’t know who you think I am.  I’m from the suburbs, that doesn’t make me a loser, it just makes me not from here.”  At which point Carrie hops up and knocks over a waiter carrying a tray of food.

Hiding in the powder room, Carrie calls Mouse.  Mouse, in a negligee- appropriate at age 16- wants to know why Carrie is calling?!?!  Carrie explains.  Mouse tells her – ok- so maybe George isn’t the right guy for her.  Carrie is upset because she thought he COULD be the right guy, based on the 3 sentences the exchanged prior to this party.  But she doesn’t fit in with this uppity crowd.  Mouse gives her good advice: Jump his bones.

Mouse does the same to Seth… and he’s impressed.  

Hot, horny teenage ugly-bumping

Seth assumes Mouse has been with someone else- and she took notes.  Seth says it’s ok, because he slept with someone else… or more correctly, other people.

While Carrie is in hiding, Kick tells George that Carrie is an inappropriate date- she didn’t even know what couture meant!!!  PEASANT.  Kick understands the appeal- she went slumming too.  (stealing a little plot point from Pretty in Pink, Steff to Blane).  Kick married a jew form the Bronx!!! She’s one of the people!!!  Kick consoles George- Carrie is just not in his leagues.  Carrie, overhearing this, steps forward and says “If that is how you feel about me, why did you invite me??”  

I may be poor but I can still HEAR

And she storms out.  George quickly runs after her.

    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.

    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.
