Is it possible to determine the best Sex and the City episode of all time? For VF's Still Watching podcast, christress, hillibusterr, and clairehoworth attempt to do just that:
to discuss the first three episodes vying for the top slot: season two’s “They Shoot Single People, Don’t They?,” season three’s “Hot Child in the City,” and season four’s “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda.” The first finds Carrie looking bedraggled on the cover of“The central question of the episode is, Are we happy being single women, or do we hate ourselves?” notes Busis—a question that gets asked over and over throughout the course of the series.
“Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda” takes a decidedly more serious tone, focusing on Miranda as she considers whether or not to get an abortion—and sending each woman to reckon with their own history with abortion and pregnancy. Murphy names it among the most impactful episodes of the series, in its handling of a sensitive issue rarely discussed on television in that period of time. “You can appreciate that for Samantha and Carrie, abortions were just matter of fact,” says Howorth.
Part two adds another pair of episodes to the pile: “The Post-it Always Sticks Twice” and “Splat!” They contain two of’s most iconic moments: Carrie getting dumped via Post-it note, and Lexi Featherston falling out a window. That Post-it, Murphy notes, has transcended the series to become a part of popular culture writ large: “Everyone knows the Post-it breakup.”’s Lexi, the messy party girl who proclaims “New York is so over” before falling to her untimely demise.
