New York City columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her friends vow to stop worrying about finding the perfect mate - and start "playing the field" like men. Their new stance soon leads to Carrie meeting Mr Big, Miranda warming to Skipper, and Samantha having a one-night stand.
Miranda makes the mistake of going out with a "modelizer" (someone who is obsessed with models), whilst Samantha chooses to go out with a modelizer and has their erotic encounter videotaped. Meanwhile, Carrie experiments with "Derek the Model", and flirts with Mr Big.
Carrie is invited to a couple's house in the Hamptons....only to be flashed by the husband. Elsewhere, Miranda's law firm think she's homosexual, Samantha gets to know her doorman better, and Charlotte dumps a suitable guy because of the pattern on his china set.
Carrie discovers the limitations of going out with a twenty-something hunk, Charlotte's boyfriend has a sexual favour to ask, and Samantha comes to the sobering realization that she'll always be older than her boy toy.
Carrie goes on a date with a gorgeous French architect, who shows his "thanks" with a thousand dollars. Meanwhile, a famous painter uses Charlotte as one of his models, and Skipper becomes sexually obsessed with Miranda.
Carrie thinks Mr Big is keeping her a "secret", whilst Miranda discovers a secret about her new boyfriend. Meanwhile, it comes to light that Samantha has never been discreet with anyone she's ever slept with, and Charlotte divulges a secret love affair from her past.
