And just like that, HBO Max\u2019s Sex and the City sequel series returns for its third and FINAL season. And Just Like That…<\/a> brings back our long-time New Yorkers Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), as well as relative newcomers Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker), to our televisions and laptops. What is summer and fall without our gals talking candidly about sex, making bad puns, and dining and drinking around the city?<\/p>\n

Like previous<\/a> seasons<\/a>, Eater will be tracking<\/a> where the gang is eating across New York City, from brunch sessions to romantic dinners to cocktail dates. This guide will be updated weekly when each episode airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m., leading up to the finale, which is tonight (!). And we\u2019re saying it now: there will be spoilers ahead.<\/p>\n

Episode 12, \u201cParty of One \u201d<\/p>\n

This is the end, my friend. We\u2019re at the SERIES FINALE of And Just Like That\u2026 There are perhaps too many loose threads to tie up: will Carrie stay solo or start dating a random dude? Will Miranda and Joy work through their issues? Will Harry be able to have sex with Charlotte? Will Samantha come back? How many pies will be consumed during the Thanksgiving dinner? We get some answers to some of these questions \u2014 the on-the-nose revision to Carrie\u2019s epilogue of her novel says it all: \u201cShe was on her own.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, we have a pretty wedding dress fashion show as Seema ponders if she wants to get married; Lisa exchanges vows with Herbert even though he\u2019s going through a tough time; Charlotte sleeps with a post-cancer-surgery Harry; and Miranda and Joy show up for each other for their respective important moments of life, while Miranda deals with a gross clogged toilet (why?).<\/p>\n

But before we go, I am pleased that the finale is paying homage to the tradition of Thanksgiving episodes taking place in New York City. See: Gossip Girl, Friends,<\/strong> How I Met Your Mother. The November holiday brings people together amidst drama.<\/p>\n

In this series finale, Brady is in charge of Thanksgiving dinner at Miranda\u2019s, but Carrie has to watch the roasting turkey (unsuccessfully) while he hunts for cucumbers, brown rice, and seaweed for the mother of his child. We also see him blending mashed potatoes while holding up a carton of milk. Alas, the episode skips straight over the actual dinner.<\/p>\n

138-23 39th Avenue, near Union Street, Flushing<\/p>\n

Gasp: Carrie Bradshaw ventures out into Queens to dine solo and chooses this hot pot restaurant<\/a> because, as she explains to the host, \u201cI was just walking by and it looks so interesting.\u201d What do you think she was doing in Flushing?<\/p>\n

Carrie crosses paths with a robot server and says \u201cexcuse me\u201d to it. She\u2019s set up in a booth and isn\u2019t sure how or what to order from the tablet menu (I suppose the restaurants she\u2019s frequented have only had paper menus, even during contactless COVID times). Carrie is scrolling through the menu when a (human) server comes by, and she asks for recommendations. The server says spicy broth, shrimp, and bok choy, but then he says to pick two (which actually isn\u2019t clear, two what?). He leaves, and a host comes by, lugging a hefty, oversized stuffed tomato boy creature named Tommy Tomato, and places him on the other side of her booth. Carrie is rightly bewildered, but the host explains it\u2019s so she doesn\u2019t have to eat alone. I don\u2019t know about Carrie, but I will fight anyone who gets in Tommy Tomato\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

Later on, Carrie recounts her \u201clunch with a side of shame,\u201d to which Charlotte responds that they should leave a review on Yelp. Later on, Carrie calls it her \u201clunch with a doll\u201d and wonders whether she can accept being alone.<\/p>\n

35-01 36th Street at 35th Street, Astoria<\/p>\n

Miranda is clearly fond of Mexican restaurants<\/a>, isn\u2019t she? This time, she and Steve are dining at the Queens Mexican restaurant to discuss their son and the forthcoming grandkid. They ordered enchiladas suizas and enchiladas rosa. They talk about Thanksgiving, but Steve isn\u2019t coming because he doesn\u2019t want it to become a thing since Brady is still mad at him for his outburst, Brady\u2019s preference for oat milk, and the fact that they\u2019re going to have a grandkid.<\/p>\n

401 East 90th Street, near First Avenue, Upper East Side<\/p>\n

If you get to know me IRL, you\u2019ll learn that I love pie! Okay, so last week, I couldn\u2019t identify the pie bakery in that episode<\/a>, and many helpful people wrote in to share their guesses as to what the mysterious-to-me pie shop was. It turns out \u2014 thanks to a single tipster who got it right and the helpful awning with an address pictured in this episode \u2014 the Petite Pie Place is Michaeli\u2019s Bakery (which shared the news on its Instagram<\/a>). Other potential options included Petee\u2019s Pies<\/a> (which I was digging into, but nixed) and Little Pie Company, since Sarah Jessica Parker is a noted fan of the bakery<\/a> (perhaps this chosen fake name was in homage to it, too). But also, the Israeli bakery does not sell pie.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we see Carrie leave the bakery with the pies she preordered, wearing an epic magenta dress with a sequined top, fluffy skirt, and amazing hat. She\u2019s the pie fairy, dropping the sweets at her friends\u2019 places. First, the Charlotte household gets a pumpkin-looking pie; then Lisa\u2019s family gets an apple crisp pie. Next is the \u201cgluten-free imposter\u201d for Seema, in a perfectly timed car-to-car exchange, and Anthony with his chocolate cream pie. Finally, she arrives at Miranda\u2019s place with the rest of the order.<\/p>\n

We end the episode with Carrie back in her apartment with her pie as she blares Barry White and sings and dances while digging into her sweet amidst a montage of the other ladies eating their pies with their loved ones. Giuseppe smashes the cream pie in Anthony\u2019s face, but they laugh and kiss about it; Charlotte et. al. eat pie while looking at Rock\u2019s play photos; Miranda and Joy dig into the good pumpkin pie; and Herbert enjoys a second piece of pie while telling Lisa she can relax.<\/p>\n

And just like that, we\u2019re done with the Sex and the City spinoff. It wasn\u2019t a wholly satisfying ending \u2014 but here\u2019s hoping Carrie finds peace with herself and Shoe the kitten.<\/p>\n
