We waited all season for that? Truly, hats off to Kim Cattrall, who I’m sure got paid a literal fortune to sit in a car and pretend to talk to her archnemesis on the phone for 60 seconds. If the cameo had been kept under wraps, it would have been a fun little surprise to begin the episode. But with everyone anticipating the return of Samantha Jones with bated breath, the phone call was underwhelming (even with the Annabelle Bronstein reference).

This season’s penultimate episode and finale were labeled part one and part two, which makes sense because this installment actually felt like a continuation of various arcs (mostly), whereas the rest of this round of And Just Like That… dropped developments from week to week.

Take, for example, my guy Steve (David Eigenberg). One of the most impactful scenes of the season was his blowout with Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) in episode six, in which they aired years of frustrations and grievances—and then the show basically never dealt with the fallout. How did Miranda feel about it? How did Steve feel? How did it impact Brady? We’ll never know! I would have loved an old school Sex And The City brunch scene where they all dissected the fight.

Last week, Miranda found out from Carrie that Steve was opening a new restaurant on Coney Island, and she began to grapple with how abruptly she leaves relationships. In the finale, she actually visits Steve on Coney Island and they have a heart-to-heart about wanting to be in each other’s futures, even as they let go of their partnership. I mean…yeah? You have a son together? You were definitely going to have to see each other. This isn’t a revelation.
