HBO’s “And Just Like That” get any more ridiculous? In the fourth episode of Season Two, the ladies — Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) once again test the limits, cramming sperm jokes, penis size jokes, off-the-wall fashions and a Gloria Steinem cameo into 40-ish absurd minutes of screen time.We catch up with the gang in a state of flux, dealing with Miranda’s crumbling marriage, Charlotte’s husband’s crumbling pelvic floor, and Carrie’s struggle whether or not to lean on former Vogue mentor / fashion industry legend Enid Frick (Candice Bergen) for a much-needed book endorsement.But first, sex stuff.
