Ah ha moment: Kick was married to Harlan the Douche. I'm still not sure how Barbara fits into this, but she is showing a less rigid side of herself because someone needed to be in this scene with Carrie. Carrie puts on a beautiful, perfectly fitting dress; Barbara offers some fake jewelry from last year's party to accessorize. Now I see that Harlan owns the law firm. That's how it all fits together, in case anyone is still watching this show or, even less likely, if anyone cares.

Back at the diner, which we care about even less, Mouse and Maggie are talking about sex and whatever. Donna LeDonna walks in with the Jens to be a bitch because it's what she lives for. But hey, the Jens got some lines. They are also bitches. Maggie starts some storyline about staying at the diner to keep Donna and the Jens from sitting there?

Tom and Harlan have a walk and talk. Tom is hung up on his ring still, not anything important like any of the legal casework sitting back at his desk. Harlan notes that his son is "wining and dining" Tom's daughter, and maybe lightly alludes to the fact that he hopes George will get laid. It's all Harlan could want for his son.

In the hallway, Walt and Mouse have a chat about sex and how to properly hold a penis in one's tiny Asian hands.

Keeping it in the family, Tom runs over a woman's foot with his car on the way home. He tends to fixate, this Tom. Anyway, the lady looks like the tampon lady from the grocery store but isn't. They're all the same to me.

Back at the office, Carrie is all ready to go to the soiree. Barbara tells her everything will be fine, as long as she remembers to tell Kick that the canapés are divine and that their Basquiat is so much better than some other asshole's. George shows up in a tuxedo -- uh oh, he forgot to mention that it's formal and Carrie is dressed cocktail. There can only be one solution: MAKEOVER. Please makeover. Not quite makeover, though, as Carrie just makes do with several layers of black/sapphire tutus. Yeah, those were just lying around the office. Classic Carrie Bradshaw.

They arrive at the party and Kick seems perfectly nice, but she invited George's ex, Blythe. I can see that Blythe will be the problem, not Kick. Or perhaps neither of them will prove to be a real problem.
