Carrie finds a message on her own answering machine from Big, asking her to call him. She listens to it seven more times and has Miranda come over to listen to the message. As they are chomping on Twizzlers, they debate whether she should call Big back. After Miranda leaves, Carrie calls Big. Big tells her that he thought about it, and it will cost him a lot if he leaves Natasha so he is going to stay with her, and Carrie should forget what he said to her. She hangs up on him. Someone is a glutton for punishment…

Carrie and CIM are now lying around in bed, and CIM tells her she has cracks in her ceiling, and that her place could use some work. She doesn't really care about home improvements, as well she shouldn't, since that is her landlord's responsibility. CIM offers to strip the floors for her, and tells her it is quick and easy and she won't even notice he's there. What kind of floor stripping does he do that is quick and unnoticeable? With all the loud machinery and dust, CIM needs to go to all her neighbors and asking for permission to work on Carrie's floors.
