Miranda and Steve are finally feeling comfortable together, until she watches the laundry. Samantha has hot nights with a doctor, and decides to follow his example taking Viagra purely for recreational purposes. Charlotte is inspired by a book to start looking for a fiancé more methodically, and commandeers a wedded friend of hers, allegedly the ideal ally, to tell his friend Phil he is supposed to become her dream date - when he stands up the all too eager would be-bride at the opera, she goes with Carrie, who was just getting comfortable with Aidan but suddenly crosses glances with Mr. Big.

Charlotte is completely besotted with Trey, who she just met by accident but already considers him, her groom. At a chic boat party Charlotte presents him to Carry, who is already tired of the meeting by fate story and bumps into Mr. Big there, without Natasha- despite her living with Aidan they clearly miss each-other. Samantha, who just moved to the meat packing district, is invited by a much older new neighbor, Len; discovering her period is five days late, she gets drunk and accepts to go all the way, but then nature steps in. To Miranda's utter and sarcastically uttered surprise, Steve suggests they consider making a baby; they settle for the time on a puppy he would care for, but when that doesn't work out...

Now that Miranda and Steve have fallen out of love over parenthood, they painstakingly live apart in the same flat... At Aidan Shaws's design fair, Carrie bumps into Mr. and Mrs. Big. Later, a drunken Big blurts out to Carrie that he not only wants a divorce but also wants her back. Then, when Aidan generously starts improving her apartment, the noise drives her to a hotel... Charlotte is convinced Trey is ready to propose and is presented to his mother Bunny MacDougal. She seems to control him masterfully. Later, Charlotte uses Bunny's sleeve rubbing trick and makes him thoughtlessly accept a wedding proposal by her. She instantly regrets it because it lacks the romance she desires... Sam likes giving blow-jobs, but her present lover, Adam Ball's sperm tastes really bad.

Carrie feels guilty as hell about sleeping with Big behind Aidan's back, but re-offends when he's out of state; while Big announces he wants to leave his wife for her, she loses Aidan's dog, Pete. Charlotte's engagement-bliss withers when Trey's family's 'standard' prenuptial appears. Just after boasting how much better life is without a steady man, Sam experiences it's no fun being single with the flu. Miranda is very happy with a young new colleague, having a one nightstand followed by long-term phone-love as he returns to Chicago- till she finds out...

When Miranda tries multi-dating, she quickly finds nobody wants a lawyer, while her same physique appeals as a "stewardess". Things get interesting for her when she decides to date a doctor - At Charlotte's rehearsal dinner, Samantha hooks up with Trey's cousin Caleb, even if she can't understand his Edinburgh accent. Carrie is touched that Aidan created a love-seat as a wedding gift for her friend Charlotte; finally she gathers the courage to confess her infidelity with adulterer Big - Charlotte has a sleepless night before her wedding after sleeping with Trey for the first time.

Charlotte is getting sexually desperate after a 'dry' honeymoon in the Bermudas, so she literally measures Trey's nocturnal erection. Meanwhile Carrie, whose column got the interest of a small Hollywood production company, travels to Los Angeles with Samantha and Miranda, in order to escape from their New York sorrows. However, Miranda discovers that men there prefer more direct women, Sam picks up a 'perfect girth' dildo-model and Carrie can't get over losing Aidan.

In L.A., Carrie feels naked after a reputed wax beautician, the famous but unintelligible Alicia, gave her an extreme Brazilian. Miranda meets with her former nerdy and jaded New Yorker friend, script writer Lew, who seems to be happy after moving to California. At a premiere, Sam and Carrie are refused entry into the after party after skipping the movie itself. Cast off the red carpet, Carrie meets hunky Keith Travers, who purports to be Matt Damon's agent with connections, and the two friends join him in the VIP room inside. Back in New York, Charlotte grows tired of Trey's performance issues and decides to join the girls in L.A. Carrie and Miranda, disappointed by the respective men they've met up with, and Charlotte, in an effort to enjoy herself away from her man problems, agree to join Samantha at the Playboy Mansion after being invited by her idol Hugh Hefner.

34-year old Miranda feels a teenage girl again when her dentist gives her braces. Samantha is jealous of a 13-year old, super-rich client, who seems to have skipped the teen years altogether. Carrie's gorgeous younger boyfriend Wade "Superboy" Adams is a comics-shop-clerk who makes her feel young again, as they do teen- and tween-things together, or perhaps too young: he still lives with his devoted parents... Meanwhile Charlotte resorts to heavy medical therapy for Trey's sexual non-performance, and gets surprising results.

Miranda thinks she's been stood up until she finds out her date died of a heart attack. She agrees to go to the wake, where she meets a great guy who used to date Carrie, who warns Miranda he has a nasty side. When Charlotte tells her friends Trey is now sexually interested in her but still can't perform, Samantha convinces her it's a classical Madonna-whore complex. A meeting with Charlotte's sorority sisters has the frustrated Charlotte determined to transcend her prudish outlook. Samantha finds her sexual equal in a woman named Claire Ann, whose wild behavior shocks even Samantha. Carrie agrees to teach a class on dating at the local learning annex, only to realize she doesn't know as much as she thinks.

Upset by a hateful glance from Natasha who saw the quartet in a restaurant, Carrie loses her way and gets robbed of not just valuables but, far worse, her favorite designer sandals. When she files a report, the NYPD detective and Miranda immediately fall for each other. Now that Charlotte has lost all hope in Trey's potency, her lust wanders off to the McDougal's hunky bare-chested gardener; when her lips follow, the family accepts it, even Trey, but she can't handle this emotional neglect. When Samantha gets calls for another Sam Jones who gives a mega-party, she takes Carrie there to finds it's a virgin boy who lusts for her at first sight.

Carrie and Samantha deal with noisy neighbours, and Miranda fears that the takeout lady laughs at her for ordering for one.

When the quartet is invited to an engagement party, Carrie and Miranda feel like outcasts - singles without marriage prospects. Samantha picks up a TV agent, but soon switches her attentions to a physically attractive Franciscan, and offers her charitable PR services in a vain attempt to seduce him. When Charlotte asks Trey if they still have a marital future, he gets sexual but this time premature. Carrie has a birthday party from hell as nobody gets there, but is pleasantly surprised afterward.

Miranda is dating Doug, a respected professional, but just can't get comfortable with his loose sense of toilet intimacy. On a 'non-date' with Mr. Big Carrie meets and gets attracted to Jazz musician Ray King, who turns out to own two clubs and is interested in her too. Trey is finally hot enough for Charlotte, but now she finds him too demonstrative in word and deed. Samantha hits on with Maria, a Brazilian painter she meets in Charlotte's gallery, who turns out to be lesbian.

Carrie has another date with Ray King at his place, and confesses she doesn't really like jazz, because it makes no sense; she tells the girls she had the most intense orgasm in her life. Miranda claims to have sworn of sex indefinitely; her alternatives are sweets and TV, rapidly becoming a chocoholic. Samantha declares she has a relationship- with Maria! She tries to be passionate as always, but is told to make love, not porn scenes- and is quit happy learning about lesbian-style lust in a relationship. Charlotte and Trey get active in bed again, and then in other rooms; he's happy again, she gets so frustrated she runs back to her apartment, but in the morning accepts to 'marry again'. Carrie reaches the conclusion she can't really talk with Ray, and decides to break up, rather then just become one of his many soon tossed away instruments.

While Miranda has the feeling there is a ghost in her apartment, Carrie feels haunted when she gets an invitation for the new bar opened by Steve Brady and her own ex Aiden Shaw, but considers he must go as a step to becoming friends again. Samantha gets fed up with Maria's raving about relationships and just misses mens dicks. Charlotte feels it was bad enough Bunny dominated the interior-decoration of their apartment, but then she dictates what type of bed they should get and when he catches a cold even moves in to nurse her 'little boy' exactly as she always did.

Samantha's lover Warren is great in bed, but addicted to something the quartet hates: baby-talk. Miranda finds an attractive man while training for the marathon whom she welcomes in her bed, but is in doubt about his tongue's interest in her rear. Trey and Charlotte feel ready to get children, but a dinner visit by a couple with young kids shakes that confidence. Carrie's first e-mails aim to arrange double date -with Miranda and Steve- so she can get back to Aidan, who however still seems reticent.

When Miranda learns Steve has testicular cancer, she gives him a 'kick in the balls' about taking it serious and then feels guilty, but he ends up thanking her for making him get the best possible care. Samantha can have orgasms again but freaks out every time a date asks about her plans for the weekend, so she accepts when Carrie begs her to come to Aidan's wood cabin up state where city girls feel stranded; Sam quickly focuses on hunky farmer Luke, Carrie crashes in front of Aidan. Charlotte is in the McDougals posh Connecticut country house where mother in law Bunny nurses orchids and sits at Trey's bath planning her still hypothetical grandchild's future, just when Charlotte's meticulous fertility planning dictates using Trey's saved up seed...

Since Steve's testicular amputation, balls are a sensitive subject; he even wants a prosthesis, however supportive Miranda insists they don't matter to women. Now his movie star- girlfriend has dumped him, Carrie must receive heart-broken Mr. Big at pissed-off Aidan's cabin. Trey is offended when Charlotte insists to have his sperm quality tested and needs personal encouragement once he's in the boot. Samantha wants a job from hotel tycoon Richard Wright, but fears that he refuses to hire a woman.

To her horror, Miranda is pregnant after one single night with Steve. After she told the girls including her intention to abort, Charlotte walks out envious and disgusted; Carrie tells Aidan after making him swear not to tell, so he must sit by how his buddy Steve may lose his baby without even knowing, and goes see waiter Chad, the ignorant father of her aborted child years ago. Charlotte gets a fertility test which confirms her chances are only 15%. Meanwhile Samantha longs for a Birkin, the ultimate status handbag, and abuses her star-client Lucy Liu's name to jump the five years waiting list...

When Carrie's apartment is going co-op, Aidan proposes they buy it together. She finds a ring in his things, and accidentally insults Miranda who helped pick it out. Trey's MD tries to control Charlotte's reproductive zeal in light of the tough statistics of in vitro fertilization, and Charlotte looks into adopting a girl from China. At the annual Highland Fling, Bunny's objection to a 'Mandarin granddaughter' causes a marital row. Samantha finds out Richard Wright is a tough boss but into quick sexy without commitment, such as on a flight to Rio. Miranda tells Steve he's becoming a father but that she doesn't expect his help.

Carrie finds living together with Aidan cramps their space, literally as well as figuratively in secret singular behavior. Samantha is hot enough on Richard to give him a blow job, even in his glass wall-office, but resists any romance. Trey is ready to get on with life without a baby, but Charlotte is offended by any alternative and throws a ladies night which ends quickly as they witness a livid marital row. Miranda has a last hot sex partner, Walker Lewis, before her pregnancy is too far advanced.

The girls spend a hot night at the gay club Trade, dancing in a sea of bare-chest good-looking men. Carrie meets sexy, Australian shoe importer -wow!- Oliver Spencer, to Stanford's envy. Samantha gets so high on beefcake, XTC and naked dicks in the gents (no girls there) that she tells Richard during hot sex she loves him, but gets no response. Charlotte is presented in the club to Anthony's boyfriend Gordon, who works for 'House and Garden' magazine, and arranges for it to take pictures at her place, the house of a 'perfect couple' - but Trey's lack of interest for yet another thing that excites her pushes their relationship to effective separation. Miranda's pregnancy becomes known at her law firm when a young colleague Max means to defend so her dozing off, but they're overheard when she says to what it no more out then his being gay (as she saw him in Trade)- the next day they both come clean.

Big tells Carrie he's moving to Napa Valley, but their last night together is interrupted when Miranda goes into labor; Samantha suspects Richard of cheating.
