Note: This story contains spoilers from \u201cAnd Just Like That\u201d Season 3, Episode 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Just Like That\u201d just gave viewers a breakup that seemed inevitable, but is it really the end for this \u201cSex and the City\u201d couple?<\/p>\n

More from TheWrap<\/strong><\/p>\n

Episode 9, titled \u201cPresent Tense,\u201d followed as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) dealt with lingering trust issues in their relationship which, after a season\u2019s worth of compromises, finally pushed Carrie to call it quits. Her working relationship with Duncan (Jonathan Cake) had been making Aidan uncomfortable for some time now, but this week\u2019s late notetaking session between him and Carrie led to the final argument.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Stuck in the past<\/p>\n

Early in the episode, Carrie was surprised to find that Aidan and her neighbor were hanging out. The hangout made her uncomfortable since she had asked Aidan to stay away, assuring him that there was only a professional connection between the two authors.<\/p>\n

Carrie confided in Seema (Sarita Choudhury) about the awkward moment, which prompted the friend to admit that Aidan had been asking about Duncan behind his girlfriend\u2019s back. Carrie gave him the benefit of the doubt at first, recalling how their relationship ended the first time when she cheated on him with John, who she then married. But that was decades ago, so she figured the lingering trust issues could be something they could get past.<\/p>\n

That night, as Carrie and Duncan went through notes about his latest chapter, Aidan interrupted to try to invite them both to dinner \u2014 which Carrie declined on both their behalves, reminding Aidan she wanted to keep things professional. When she went back upstairs later that night, Aidan lashed out at her and the pair spent the night in separate rooms.<\/p>\n

Carrie was not ready to let things go the next morning, so she went on a shopping walk after exchanging some more harsh words with Aidan. He later texted her to meet for lunch, which she agreed to, expecting an apology. Instead, he doubled down, saying he still has trouble trusting her with other men.<\/p>\n

Aidan\u2019s words stung Carrie, prompting her to walk away from the lunch. Aidan stopped her on the street and she said that after all the compromises she\u2019s made for him, the fact he can\u2019t move on from the past is the final dealbreaker. After all the trials of the past season, it seemed like they really broke up after Aidan moved his stuff out of her home. Carrie ended the episode with narration having no future with her partner.<\/p>\n

So is Aidan really gone for good? Will Carrie keep things professional with Duncan now that she\u2019s no longer attached? With three episodes left in Season 3, anything is possible.<\/p>\n

An iconic cameo<\/p>\n

Drama and usual \u201cAnd Just Like That\u201d shenanigans aside, Episode 9 featured an iconic \u201cSex and the City\u201d character returning for a blink-and-you\u2019ll miss it cameo.<\/p>\n

As Carrie walked around Barney\u2019s after her fight with Aidan \u2014 but before the official breakup \u2014 she got an assist from shoe salesman Danny (Andy Cohen). He offered her to try on a pair of shoes, but she politely declined.<\/p>\n

The Bravo megaproducer and \u201cWatch What Happens Live\u201d host previously played the salesman in the final season of \u201cSex and the City,\u201d making this one of the more meta cameos on the show yet. The cameo is also a nod to Cohen\u2019s real-life friendship with Sarah Jessica Parker.<\/p>\n
