We’re also talking about how Miranda should have handled her new fling, what Lisa Todd Wexley is doing on this show, Seema’s confusing day in a van and Charlotte’s dog getting… canceled? We are also breaking down Carrie and Aidan’s confusing 5-year-break and bizarre phone sex. We are living, laughing and loving.
