 Carrie enjoys a weekend at the beach house in the Hamptons of an ideal couple, her friend Paige and her husband Peter, but in the morning he greets her in nothing but a revealingly short T-shirt. The girls feel married people either consider singles competitors for their spouses or pity them. Stanford adds it s getting the same with gay couples; his friends Joe and Lou ask Carrie to become their egg-donor. At her law firm s softball game, Miranda is teamed up with Syd, a single dike, and they play good enough for both to be invited at senior partner Chip s house party: apparently even a presumed lesbian couple is more acceptable then singles- indeed the truth puts her out again. Even Carrie s marrying kind friend businessman Sean s housewarming party is twos only, to her, Sam s (who fucked half of the men) and Charlotte s horror, but their China styles make him unfit for Charlotte. Even drunk, Sam gets up in underwear to seduce Charlotte s lonely young doorman Tommy.
