Carrie runs into Mr. Big at the Hamptons party, and the age detail makes the scene land hard.
1. And Just Like That... We Found Therapy discusses Sex and the City season 2, episode 17, “Twenty-Something Girls vs Twenty-Something Women,” with Liv Singh as the guest. 2. Liv says she is 27, owns her own talent agency, is from Newcastle, and has lived in London for eight years, which the hosts use to cast her as the “youth correspondent.” 3. The episode asks whether being in your 30s is too late for a house share, after Charlotte is offered a Hamptons rental with women who are married or in relationships. 4. Liv says a 30-something house share is “fun” when people are single, while the hosts note they have lived together in their 30s without wanting the arrangement to become “chaos.” 5. The conversation shifts to Samantha Jones and Nina G, with Liv describing herself as “a bit of both” when asked whether she is more of a boss or an assistant. 6. Charlotte’s attraction to a 26-year-old boy on the Hamptons Jitney leads to a discussion of lying about age, including Liv admitting she once said she was 21 or 22 when she was 17. 7. At the Hamptons house, the mildew smell and the bonfire invitation set up the episode’s social tension between the older women and the younger group. 8. The hosts talk through the idea that 20-something girls and 30-something women experience single life differently, with Liv saying her 30s look “more sure of yourself.” 9. Carrie’s side plot with Laurel introduces a younger fan who wants Carrie as a mentor and asks whether 23 is too young to write a memoir. 10. Carrie and Laurel discuss “saving themselves for marriage,” and the hosts clarify that the show is talking about not having sex rather than abstinence in the abstract. 11. The episode then turns to the idea that younger people are having less sex, which Liv agrees with when asked directly. 12. Liv also says younger people are drinking less, tying that to TikTok culture and the pressure to wake up early, journal, and do yoga. 13. The hosts contrast that with their own nightlife, including nights that end with lost shirts, lost shoes, and the choice to “go big or go home.” 14. An Oura Ring gets named as a reason for drinking less, because the device reportedly shows bad sleep and a high heart rate after heavy nights. 15. Carrie meets Bradley Migo, whom the hosts describe as “good on paper” and possibly “bad in bed,” and they argue about whether that kind of rule fits every man. 16. The crabs storyline comes up when a virgin in the house recognizes the symptoms, prompting questions about whether she is really a virgin or simply very well informed. 17. Samantha’s conflict with Nina G becomes a workplace loyalty test, and Liv says she would not bow down to someone who had “fucked me over.” 18. The hosts describe the hoedown party, the fireworks, and Carrie’s realization that Laurel is still orbiting her social life before the Mr. Big scene lands. 19. The episode has a chatty, back-and-forth interview style, with frequent detours into the hosts’ own ages, drinking habits, and friend-group dynamics. 20. People who like Sex and the City age debates and generational banter will like this episode, while viewers wanting tight plot recap may skip it.
