Finally, the day we'd all been hoping for has come. In a fate worse that the focus group for Ché Diaz's failed pilot, the writers of have forced viewers to sit through way too many episodes of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan Shaw's (John Corbett) seemingly flaw-free rekindled romance. We've been subjected to the tighty-whities.

Though actor Willie Garson died in real life in September 2021 after a private battle with pancreatic cancer, his beloved character, Stanford Blatch, is alive and well on. Garson filmed several episodes of the Max reboot's first season before his unexpected death, and at the time, the show explained his exit with the character leaving to follow one of his influencer clients to Japan and asking his husband, Anthony Marentino (Mario Cantone), for a divorce.Since then, there have been several references to Stanford — in the season 2 premiere episode, Carrie wears a kimono that she says he sent her — but on Thursday's episode, Stanny's storyline seemed to have a clear end note. Outside of the central relationships and drama going on within Thursday's episode, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) asks Anthony over to her apartment, telling him that Stanford wanted her to speak with him.
