Ever since And Just Like That premiered in 2021, a contingent of diehard Sex and the City fans have wondered what the hell happened to Miranda Hobbes. Between her messy break-up with her husband, Steve, her even messier situationship with stand-up comedian (I repeat: stand-up comedian) Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez), and that hasty, stereotypical alcoholism subplot, our girl just can’t seem to get a win on this show—even as other characters, like her dear friend Charlotte York, find new life.
This week, things don’t get any better. In fact, they get much, much worse when a bomb cyclone hits Manhattan. The frosty air quickly starts to feel like a metaphor, at least in Miranda’s life. It’s not just that she and Che finally break up, either (although, yes, thank God, they do). This week, she and Steve finally get into their first real fight since their split—and it turns into the kind of argument you can’t take back.
Not everyone is having a terrible time this week. The snow bomb grants Carrie an opportunity to break out a truly ridiculous puffer coat with an Anastasia-like silhouette as she heads to “Widow Con” to read an excerpt from her memoir. The real name of the event, hosted by her jilted former writing partner (played by SATC newcomer Rachel Dratch), is far less sexy—“Life After Death: A Women’s Storytelling Event”—but Carrie’s reading there is a smash hit. Even better? Once the snow clears and summer sets in, she’ll officially be sharing a house with her friend Seema Patel in the Hamptons.
