Carrie ponders the theory that all Manhattan men are freaks. After Samantha found out an eligible lawyer has a masochistic closet, she decides too cheer up herself by scheduling having her fanny's fat injected in her facial cheeks. When Carrie meets charming journalist Ben, she doubled-dates with his mate Luke and Miranda - a total misfit because she abhors his position that nothing outside is worth leaving Manhattan even for a holiday. Charlotte meets the legendary Mitch(ell) 'pussy' and experiences he never disappoints in bed, but can she really be satisfied without an actual relationship? Meanwhile Carrie gets freaked out by her failing to find Ben's freaky side, so she takes drastic action at his place.

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.
