And just like that, Carrie Bradshaw is rekindling her old romance with Aidan Shaw — again — after their Sex and the City 2 kiss.
John Corbett’s Sex and the City character finally made his debut appearance on And Just Like That during the Thursday, July 27, episode, wasting no time in asking Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie out for dinner — on Valentine’s Day.
Despite initial miscommunication over the restaurant address, Aidan and Carrie ended up reconnecting by the tail end of Thursday’s episode. After their sweet dinner date, Aidan accepts Carrie’s offer for a nightcap at her West Village apartment.
“When you said come back to your place, I thought you had a different place,” he says in the scene, standing on the stoop of her iconic New York City brownstone. “At the restaurant, I thought, ‘How great. This feels really great.’ We’re back where we started. But this is where we ended with that f—king wall I couldn’t break through and those floors — remember the floors I redid? It’s all bad. It’s all in there.”
Carrie — who dated Aidan on and off starting in season 3 of the original series before cheating on Aidan with Chris Noth’s Mr. Big and calling off their engagement — quickly pointed out that it’s not exactly the same as what it once was.
“It’s the same place, but we’re not in the same place. And really it doesn’t even look the same. I hung wallpaper and I’ve repainted,” Carrie muses. “And it wasn’t all bad, Aidan, was it?”
Carrie sold the Upper East Side penthouse that she shared with late husband Big at the end of And Just Like That season 1 following his death in the Max pilot. As Carrie had not previously let go of her classic downtown apartment, she subsequently decided to move in full-time when the sale was complete.
