Whhhhhooooooo boy: the first post Big breakup/New Yankee episode and it’s a doozy.
Charlotte and Miranda show up at Carrie’s apartment to drag her out (and pick Samantha up on the way while she’s trying to stick it out with James) in an attempt to get her out of her apartment and hole of self-wallowing pity. And since they don’t tell her where they are going (a Yankees game), Carrie puts on a ridiculous outfit that no normal person would wear to a baseball game because she wants to look stunning in case she happens to run into Big. But I’ll give her a pass since they didn’t tell her where they were taking her.
Actually, none of them are dressed appropriately for what looks like an early spring baseball game, but what do I know?
I was lucky a kind person bailed me out, but this isn’t about me, this is about reasons Carrie Bradshaw is the Worst. Reasons like:
#1 – Miranda is excited about the New Yankee (NY). She is listing off all his stats what no one cares about when Carrie, in her voiceover, goes over HER stats: Ten years, countless dates, five real relationships, one serious.
As Carrie is realizing her dating batting average sucks, NY blasts a foul ball in to the upper deck, which Carrie “catches”.
#2 – After the game, Carrie flashes her press pass (why did she even have it on her?) to get to the locker rooms so she can get her ball signed by NY. NY comes out of the locker room and Miranda embarrasses herself by acting like a major fangirl and asking him to sign Carrie’s ball. For some reason, Carrie asks NY to hold her sunglasses while he is also signing her ball. When he asks her if she is a Yankees fan as well, Carrie tells him she thinks baseball is dull. After he signs her ball and leaves, she decides to chase after him to ask him out to the Dolce & Gabbana party. I mean, what? Insulting a professional baseball player and then still getting a date? WHATEVER.
#3 – She only invites the New Yankee to the Dolce & Gabbana party because she was hoping Big would be there too and she could flaunt it in his face (okay yeah we’ve all been there but she should know by now Big doesn’t care). And she maxed out a credit card to buy the dress she wore. Like she doesn’t have enough clothes already? STOP BEING THE WORST.
#4 – She must have some credit left on a different card(s) because she goes on a breakup shopping binge. See the above statement.
She does eventually run into Big when she’s with the New Yankee. After a horribly bumbling interaction, he tells her she’s never looked better. Trigger meltdown.
Poor Joe is standing there like the guy who is about to be broken up with in the street that he is. Well, at least she tried?
