 Carrie presents her first free-lance article to the Vogue editors, who react completely different: Enid barks it s  her column , so  not Vogue , but Julian takes to her- perhaps even too much. When Richard says he doesn t want to celebrate his birthday but Samantha insists he picks a gift, it is - a threesome with a younger waitress. When Miranda complains about getting things for her future baby, Charlotte -who is mourning her own motherhood ambition- offers to throw her a baby-shower but is instructed to keep it low-key, almost businesslike, without storks etcetera.
