Let’s get this out of the way at the top: Weeks ago, my colleague Fletcher Peters bravely asked whether Miranda and Charlotte’s kids have gotten too horny on And Just Like That. Now, I’m here to tell you that they absolutely have.
This week, Brady Hobbes and Lily York Goldenblatt (probably) did the nasty—and in spite of her frankly unfair reputation as a prude, Charlotte is definitely more okay with it than Miranda is. It was obvious this was coming from the outset of the episode, when Miranda begged Charlotte to send Lily to Brooklyn with a motivational “go-to-college” pep talk for Brady. (Quoth a very in-character Miranda: “Well, I did want her to rub off on him.”)
Throughout Sex and the City’s original run, Charlotte was, as I said, unfairly maligned as a prude—even in spite of the fact that she canonically eats ass. And Just Like That has helped right that wrong this season, gifting Charlotte with some of the best comedic fodder and even sending her on an intrepid, mid-snow bomb quest to buy her daughter condoms. In light of this, it’s only fitting that between herself and Miranda, Charlotte’s actually the one who manages to keep calm about the kids’ illicit hook-up. As she puts it, “I had a lot of sex that my mother didn’t know about, and everything worked out!”
