Carrie has been busy trying to make her rocky long-distance romance with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) work, but recently formed a friendship with her handsome downstairs neighbor, British writer Duncan Reeves (pictured), played by Jonathan Cake

As the night wears on, Miranda brings up their growing friendship, which sends Carrie into a tailspin. Apparently, she's convinced that her friend is insinuating something romantic is brewing between them. Fans on social media are siding with Miranda, labeling Carrie as "insufferable" and blasting her for being too sensitive.

But what exactly did Miranda say to spark this drama? It all started when she playfully mentioned seeing Carrie having fun with Duncan at the party. Carrie's reaction was nothing short of explosive - she snapped back, "What are you saying?" when asked if she was upset. The tension between them is palpable!

Meanwhile, Charlotte's husband Harry (Evan Handler) has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but Carrie struggles to keep the secret hidden from her friends. She ends up telling a whopper of a lie - claiming it's Charlotte's bulldog who has cancer! Talk about a canine conspiracy theory!

In other news, Charlotte's daughter Lily (Cathy Ang) is going through her first breakup, while Seema (Sarita Choudhury) has a flirty encounter with Carrie's gardener, Adam Gardens (Logan Marshall-Green). Who knew eyelash extensions could be so...infectious?

As the episode comes to a close, Carrie sits alone in her apartment, cradling her cat Shoe as one of the balloons suddenly bursts. Is this foreshadowing more drama for our beloved Carrie in the upcoming episodes? Stay tuned!
