The second season of “And Just Like That” has wrapped with fans finally getting to see Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones making her much-anticipated return to the world of “Sex and the City”.
In the scene, in which Samantha (in London) chats via video call with Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw, the character makes a brief reference that may have gone over the heads of all but the most hardcore “SATC” fans.
At one point during the call, Carrie pokes fun at Samantha’s faux British accent since relocating to London, which prompts her to jokingly refer to herself as Annabelle Bronstein from India (pronounced ‘Indja’),” before ending the call with, “Ta and cheerio, and have a great night.”

Annabelle Bronstein, in fact, was Samantha’s fake alter-ego, invented so she could use the rooftop pool at Soho House in a sixth-season episode of “Sex and the City”.
As People recalls, it all began when a Soho House staffer asked if anyone had accidentally left their membership card behind, with Samantha pretending the card — belonging to Annabelle Bronstein — was hers.
“Since they didn’t seem to know who she was at the Soho house, she figured she could be Annabelle Bronstein. The next day, Samantha tested the waters with her fake ID,” said Carrie in a voiceover.
The following day, however, Samantha’s plan is nearly derailed when another staffer said it would be “impossible” that she was Annabelle Bronstein — because she was in London that week, and was British. Samantha responded by putting on an over-the-top British accent insisting she “absolutely” was Annabelle Bronstein.
