When Carrie follows Charlotte to a performance by a woman in Chelsea who speaks nor eats, she meets famous Russian painter and sculptor Aleksandr Petrovsky, who is intrigued by Carrie's cavalier attitude. Samantha, who bravely announces she is 45 and getting glasses, tries to rejuvenate herself by an intimate hair-coloring after finding gray down there, which proves disastrous. Charlotte gets pregnant but has a miscarriage and is plunged into depression until she finds inspiration in a TV documentary on Liz Taylor. After Robert declared his love on a cookie, Miranda gives Brady's first birthday party, breaks her promise to Carrie not to have a ('scary') clown and finds herself declaring her love to daddy Steve, who reciprocates.

After three weeks, Carrie gets a written invitation from Aleksandr; they start flirting and end up in bed. Charlotte looks for a new perfume and a volunteer career while waiting for another pregnancy. Miranda would be happy back with Steve, but keeps bumping into unforgiving yesterday's perfect man Robert. Samantha didn't feel like accompanying Smith to a Teen Girl party- till she reads it's hosted by her ex Richard Wright; she tells Smith they should each play with their own friends, but is greatly relieved to find him waiting for her anyway.

Miranda and Steven exchange good intentions and she proposes to him, instantly sealed with a kiss; the girls wonder what to buy her, not too domestic etcetera. Carrie admires Aleksander's piano playing and poetry reading but isn't really comfortable with such old-fashioned romancing; however a dress from his personal friend Oscar de la Renta sets her glowing. Charlotte and Harry enjoy a romantic French restaurant, but the digestion proves a waking nightmare. Samantha feels, after seeing her photos in a magazine report on Smith, she may need bigger, but still tasteful breasts; alas the plastic surgeon discovers a lump which proves to be a cancer tumor.

Carrie feels extremely welcome with Aleksandr when he spontaneously gives her keys and even the alarm code, which she can't remember. When the girls hear Miranda and Steve are going on a a honeymoon - according to Sam, 'sex with room service' - they offer to babysit Brady. The first watch goes to Carrie, who thus finds out Aleksandr has had a 22-year daughter in Paris and neither wants nor can sire another; Charlotte has him next, and panics when the baby sees her intimate with Harry. When Samantha's male gynecologist sort of suggests her childlessness contributed to her cancer-risk, she walks out indignant. Samantha finds his best-reputed female colleague is booked for months, no matter who she knows, so she keeps waiting until the receptionist sees in a magazine that Jared Smith is her boyfriend.

After eating at restaurants of various exotic nationalities, Aleksandr decides to cook in Carrie's apartment, where he sees and kills a mouse. What she really cannot handle is his insistence to be open about death, even from breast cancer, while she insists on avoiding the subject. The girls try to make visit time in Samantha's hospital room resemble cocktail hour. Ever-competitive Charlotte learns none of her eggs are good, again, but meets King Charles Spaniel show dog Princess Dandyridge Brandywine, who fails because of a shorter leg, and Charlotte decides imperfection is no reason to give up on someone. Now Brady has taken over their bedroom, Steve insists Miranda and he consider moving to a larger home - in Brooklyn! When Samantha loses some hair while hooking up with Smith, they both freak a little; unable to find a satisfactory wig, she decides to shave her head, and Smith does the same.

Carrie is embarrassed to be presented to Aleksandr's artistic friends now that he's getting another Paris exposition and enjoys four cold days in his apartment. Miranda is grumpy during their move to Brooklyn, but Steve delivers in every respect. Samantha and Smith Jerrod invite Stanford and Marcus out - the Tattle Tale columnist prints a rumor that Smith is gay; Sam won't have that undo her rep, so she releases a sex tape with Smith online. Big is calling Carrie again but she deletes his messages. Charlotte is enamored with her puppy, and decides to enter her in a dog show, with Anthony as groomer and inviting the girls plus Stanford - the dog goes into heat but still wins. Carrie unexpectedly brings the girls to visit Aleksandr, but he tells them to keep out of the atelier as he's working.

Carrie finally has a chance to present everybody to Aleksandr at a dinner, but he's rather aloof and drops the bombshell that he expects her to move with him to Paris for good. Samantha and Charlotte act supportive after some questions, but Miranda doesn't hide she's dead against the idea. Enid invites Carrie to a party, and asks her to bring Aleksandr and a friend of his for her. However she rejects graying food critic Martin Grable as an elderly 'hobbit', dumps him on Carrie and argues the fishing pond for her age group is so small that Carrie's relationship with the older Russian is unfair. Charlotte's King Charles Spaniel joins the list of pregnant females to be jealous of, annoyingly after doing it with eight pedigree-less mutts, but when the puppies come so does Charlotte's maternal instinct. After ample consideration, Carrie chucks her job and announces, symbolically at the funeral of Lexi Featherston, the party scandal queen of the 1980s, she is moving with Aleksandr to Paris.

Just when Carrie is almost ready to leave for Paris for good, Mr. Big shows up in his limousine - yet she walks away from him for her last dinner with the girls, where Charlotte cries and Miranda makes up. Samantha has her personal input, from nature and experience, concerning a cancer benefit. Once in Paris, Carrie loves the city, but doesn't love sharing Petrovsky's love with his bratty daughter Chloé and his time with his obligations as busy artist. After a disastrous day shopping, her confidence is down like her credit card limit and she loses her "Carrie" necklace. Carrie calls Miranda, homesick for New York and thinking about Big, who turns to the girls there.

Carrie has lunch with Petrovsky's ex Juliette B. who tells her he always gives priority to his art above his partner- she finds that true and has a generally bad time. Charlotte prepares with Anthony to receive her promised adoption baby's birth parents, but those changed their mind; ultimately she and Harry get another baby girl from China. Steve's ma Mary suffers memory loss after a mild stroke, and Miranda offers to take her in, which their maid Magda calls love. Samantha finally admits that Smith means enough to her, unlike any other man, to be jealous. Mr. Big has finally realized that he cannot be happy without Carrie and sets out to bring her back to New York, just when she was considering breaking up with the Russian anyhow.
