Carrie and Aidan are taking an extended break\u2026 or are they? On the season two finale of And Just Like That\u2026<\/em>, Miranda gets closure with both her exes, Samantha Jones returns for an all-too-brief phone call, and Aidan finally steps into Carrie’s old apartment and out of her life\u2014at least for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n On this week\u2019s Still Watching<\/em>, hosts Hillary Busis, Richard Lawson,<\/strong> and Chris Murphy<\/strong> discuss the 11th episode of And Just Like That\u2026<\/em> season two, \u201cThe Last Supper: Part Two: Entree.\u201d The season two finale, they all agreed, would have served as a fitting season finale or a series finale, closing the arcs for the major players in satisfying ways yet leaving things open-ended enough to keep the story going. But given the news earlier this week that And Just Like That\u2026<\/em> has been officially renewed<\/a> by Max for a third season, it seems like there’s more in store for the New York’s favorite girls. \u201cI had already written my eulogy for And Just Like That\u2026<\/em> and was prepared to deliver it,\u201d Murphy admits. \u201cBut we’re going to keep chugging along, and I wonder what’s in store.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The first thing in store for the finale was a highly anticipated cameo from Kim Cattrall<\/strong><\/a> as Samantha Jones. Outfitted by original Sex and the City<\/em> costume designer Patricia Field<\/strong><\/a>, Cattrall made the most of her approximately two-minute cameo<\/a>, calling Carrie to apologize for not being able to travel across the pond for to Carrie’s Michelin-star farewell dinner. \u201cI had really missed her,\u201d Lawson says. \u201cThat energy just completes the circle of the show even for that couple minutes that she onscreen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n While Samantha wasn’t able to make it to dinner, both of Miranda’s exes, Steve and Che, were in attendance. Miranda and Steve’s burying of the hatchet in Cony Island struck the hosts as a sweet moment for the former couple, while Miranda’s attempt to do so with Che Diaz in Carrie’s kitchen was less successful. This led the hosts to wonder whether Sara Ramirez<\/strong>, who earlier this week issued a scathing response to a profile about them in The Cut<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> would be returning for the third season. \u201cI appreciate their service, but I think they can ride off into the sunset with Toby,\u201d Murphy said. \u00a0Another character who might be better served elsewhere is Dr. Nya Wallace, who ended the season winning a prestigious award and finding love with Carrie’s Michelin-star chef, Toussaint (Gary Dourdan<\/strong>).\u00a0<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Charlotte ends the season relatively unscathed, reiterating her need for Harry to step up in the parenting department and replacing the iPhone she threw in a margarita blender. Her friend, Lisa Todd Wexley is still processing the fallout from her miscarriage, with husband Herbert by her side. Anthony also finally opens up to his boyfriend Giuseppe in multiple ways, letting him in emotionally and physically. \u201cIf I never have to hear the phrase \u2018ass wall\u2019 again, I would be happy,\u201d quips Lawson.\u00a0<\/p>\n But the most shocking reveal of the episode belongs to Carrie, who gets quite the surprise when Aidan finally crosses the threshold of her old apartment. Rather than bringing good news, Aidan has come to tell Carrie that his 14-year old son Wyatt needs him too much for him to split time between Norfolk and NY, and proposes that he and Carrie take a five year break until Wyatt is out of his teens to continue their relationship. The hosts noted that they may have called Carrie and Aidan’s semi-break up last episode, as it allows Carrie to potentially be free for future seasons, but doesn’t have her ending the season heartbroken. \u201cI guess they wanted to leave it open-ended in case they got another season, and that’s why they didn’t just have them end up together,\u201d Busis noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Aidan and Carrie are not meant to be (at least not right now), the break does free Carrie up for a girls trip to Greece with Seema, who is still going strong with her Marvel director boyfriend Ravi (Armin Amiri<\/strong>). While it’s not quite the Hamptons, it works as a button to the season. \u201cWe’ll just leave it in limbo that someday in the distant, unseen future, she and Aidan will be together,\u201d said Lawson. \u201cThey’re saving each other themselves for each other, but in the meantime, she’s gonna have cosmos on a Greek aisle with Seema.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
