Over at the exhibition opening, Charlotte, Carrie, and Miranda take in the art, which deals with evolutions, and the group discusses how they’ve changed over the years. Carrie’s mind goes to fashion in a loose interpretation of the work, which she ties back to the vintage belt she’s wearing with her Oscar de la Renta pre-fall 2024 dress, Cult Gaia bag, and Aquazzura heels. But Carrie only gets to reminisce about the glories of shopping in the late ’80s for a moment before Miranda turns it around onto herself.

The lawyer—in an ME+EM dress with gold accessories and red sling-backs—states her case. She feels she has evolved, not only since the ’80s, but since just a few years ago, when she first realized she’s an alcoholic. But now, she’s thinking she may have “overcorrected,” and perhaps she’s just “alcoholish” and can have a drink every once in a while with Joy. Carrie and Charlotte are not so convinced, but neither is willing to outright tell Miranda she’s playing with fire. Because in reality, Miranda is likely wrong, but she’s convincing herself otherwise so she can drink Canadian gin with her hot, new girlfriend.

The conversation sends Charlotte into a tailspin, literally. Her vertigo is back (yes, it’s real), and her sky-high Louboutin pumps are likely not helping.
