Carrie Bradshaw

The episode began with Carrie visiting an Asian restaurant where she ordered food on an iPad, was served by robot waiters and was forced to sit across from a giant plush tomato since she was eating alone. Carrie later complained about the restaurant when attending a bridal fashion show with Charlotte, Seema and Lisa, saying it was taboo for women to be alone in the past and, based on this experience, it will also be taboo in the future.

After the fashion show, Carrie walked home with Charlotte and said she feels more alone now than ever. She suggested that maybe she should stop thinking "maybe a man" and start accepting "maybe just me." Later, while chatting with Adam (Logan Marshall-Green) in her garden, she asked him to give her something "more wild and free."

Carrie went on a pie-delivering spree before she arrived at Miranda's new apartment for Thanksgiving, which saw its list of attendees nearly halved before dinner at started. While initially greeted by Miranda and Brady (Niall Cunningham), she was ultimately left alone with the mother of Brady's baby, Mia (Ella Stiller), and her friends, as well as Mark Kasabian (Victor Garber).

When the awkward Thanksgiving dinner was over, Carrie worried that Mark would offer to take her home, but he saw himself out after a bathroom incident (more on that later). Carrie quietly left Miranda's apartment when Miranda's girlfriend Joy (Dolly Wells) finally showed up.

Carrie went home to enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie while she danced around her townhome to Barry White's "You're the First, the Last, My Everything."

The episode ended with Carrie at her laptop — with her cat Shoe playing behind her — as she rewrote the epilogue of her book which read: "The woman realized she was not alone — she was on her own."

Afterward, Carrie danced down her hallway and disappeared around the corner.

Miranda Hobbes

While at dinner with her former husband Steve Brady (David Eigenberg), Miranda learned he wasn't coming to her Thanksgiving gathering. Steve also informed her that he wanted to make amends with Brady after coming to terms with the fact that his son is becoming a father. The pair agreed they are on the same page about figuring out how to be in their future grandchild's life.

At Thanksgiving dinner, Miranda greeted Carrie by telling her that Joy wasn't coming because her dog was sick. After calling Joy and finding out her dog was having surgery because it swallowed a LEGO, Miranda left to be by Joy's side during the scary experience.

Miranda later returned to her apartment to eat with her guests and was greeted by Mia and her off-putting friends, Silvio (Paulo Hernandez-Farella) and Epcot (Spike Einbinder). Things were awkward — Silvio barely responded to her but continued to vogue around the living room — but at least, Miranda made headway with Mia in mending their relationship.

After dinner, Mark quickly left after the toilet overflowed due to Epcot's constant use throughout the day. While Miranda cleaned up the mess, Joy arrived to spend time with Miranda as a thank you for her showing up for her, while Carrie departed.

Miranda told Joy that Steve and Brady had made amends, but she questioned how her life ended up like this. Joy embraced her and commented on their shared "mess" before the two enjoyed pie together.

Charlotte York Goldenblatt

Charlotte was looking to reignite the flame of their sex life with Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler). After dealing with his inability to make love after his cancer surgery, he informed Charlotte — while she was basting their turkey — that he was aroused. They ran off to their bedroom to celebrate.

Earlier in the episode, Charlotte had a discussion with Lisa at the bridal fashion show about marriage, during which the two women agreed they are both steadfast in their relationships.

While delivering her dish to Miranda's apartment, Charlotte admitted to Carrie that she was trying to set her up with Mark, which Carrie didn't appreciate. Carrie noted that Mark had been married three times already, but Charlotte thought the fact that he had a plane outweighed that.

The episode ended with Charlotte around the table with her family. Rock (Alexa Swinton) asked Charlotte to see photos of themself in their school production of Thoroughly Modern Millie, but Charlotte deleted them from her phone. Lily (Cathy Ang) said she still has them, though, while Rock told Charlotte that they will be a lot of people in their life. It was a moment of togetherness for the York Goldenblatts.

Seema Patel

Seema got ready in her bathroom when a fully nude Adam walked in and proceeded to pee. While peeing, he called weddings a "waste of time" and the concept of marriage "such a ridiculous idea," clearly upsetting Seema.

Seema brought this up with Carrie at the bridal fashion show, telling her that Adam was "literally pissing all over the idea" of getting married and that she was in love with a man who won't ever commit to her. Carrie asked her if she had to get married, and Seema unloaded the societal expectation of women to desire marriage, saying she has been groomed and programmed to want it since she was a little girl. After a bit of back and forth, Seema wondered if it was Adam's responsibility to make her feel chosen, or if her desire to feel that was more indicative of a flaw within herself.

During Carrie's pie-delivery montage, she dropped one off with Seema as she was getting in a car to meet Adam for Thanksgiving. Carrie remarked about Seema wearing jeans. Later, Seema appeared happy with Adam.

Lisa Todd Wexley

While Lisa and Marian (Mehcad Brooks) were in the edit booth working on their docuseries, when she received a message from Marian's contact close to Michelle Obama. As it turns out, Obama was interested in potentially narrating the project. Marian suggested they get dinner or drinks to celebrate, but Lisa shot him down and said they need to keep their relationship professional.

At the bridal fashion show, Lisa expressed her frustration in her marriage to Herbert Wexley (Christopher Jackson), who was still upset over losing the election, but her conversation with Charlotte strengthened her resolve to make things work. She returned home and told Herbert she would stand by him whether he's in Tom Ford suits or sweatsuits, and he vowed to perk himself back up.

The episode ended with Herbert offering to clean up the Thanksgiving dinner mess, which made Lisa happy.

Anthony Marentino

When Carrie saw Anthony while making her rounds of delivering pies, he revealed that he couldn't go to Miranda's because he needed to have a conversation with Giuseppe (Sebastiano Pigazzi), after indicating he wasn't sure they should get married following their proposal in the previous episode.

At the end of the episode, Giuseppe asked Anthony if he truly thought the only reason he wanted to marry him was because he wanted Anthony to take care of him, and Anthony answered yes. Annoyed by the situation, Giuseppe threw the chocolate cream pie in Anthony's face, but the two laughed before sharing a kiss.
