Carrie is taken with her romantic Berger, except when it comes to taking her in bed, and admits it to the other girls in the vegan restaurant where the cooking is so light it deserves the name Raw (but restaurant?)- where Samantha dragged them just because the waiter is too hot to miss out on. Charlotte announces her unshakable intention to convert to Judaism in order to become eligible to marry Harry, but finds the rabbi most reticent. Miranda, rejected by Steve, stakes her substitute love life on a state of the art video recorder, but technology can break down, especially when her housekeeper Magda sits on it. Samantha sits out an inedible marathon to be the last customer at Raw and sit on the yummy waiter and vice versa.

Carrie finally sees Berger's apartment, and likes it but hears it's the work of his ex Lauren, just as his sleeping sounds machine. Big suddenly phones her from California. Charlotte aces her Judaism classes, but is shocked that she must abandon all Christian traditions, even Christmas trinkets. Miranda's ex, Steve, has a new girlfriend, Debbie, so she accuses him of neglecting his paternal duties, perhaps angry after she declared her love and he rejected her. Samantha has sex with the Raw waiter at a crazy would-be designers handbag party, which gets him fired. When she offers to compensate him financially, he's insulted. While she tries to make it up to him, he tells her he's an actor named Jerry.

Vogue sends Carrie to report on the latest fitness craze, trapeze 'flying', and she's hooked. Charlotte and Harry prepare for her second perfect wedding, helped by Anthony. Harry's funny friend Howie gets on with Carrie, but in bed drills like a rabbit. Steve wants his girlfriend Debbie to meet Miranda, who hides under the bed to avoid meeting her. Charlotte's big day seems ruled by Murphy's - rather than rabbinic - law: her picture in the paper and her dress in synagogue are stained, Samantha's diamond bracelet falls to pieces...
