The Carrie Diaries, Episode 7: "Caught"
Carrie calls her boss Bitchy Barbara, too!! We are so in sync. Whoa, BB. Look at you, all proud of you walk of shame. It also inspired a pretty hilarious convo between Carrie, Mouse, and Maggie that included mulitple uses of the word straddle, much to Carrie's dismay. It also led to a funny line from Carrie about how if she is still talking about guys when she is in her '30's she wants Mouse or Maggie to strangle her. Oh, Carrie. If you only knew what your future held. We also learn that Carrie is still a virgin during the girl talk. Maybe, we knew that. I don't remember. They made a big deal out of it though.
Carrie is still happily dating George, but she hasn't told him about Sebastian showing up at Thanksgiving. She assumes that the Kidd hasn't told Donna, either, but she is mistaken, when the Lady LaDonna shows up at the diner and enlightens her. Carrie and Sebastian still have the hots for each other, so the other girls encourage Carrie to invite George to the winter dance, to rub it in Sebastian's face.
Carrie also gets a internship offer from Larisa. Carrie really wants to intern at "Interview", but also doesn't want to lie to her dad. When she broaches the subject of switching internships, her dad drops some knowledge on her about all that went into getting her the internship, so she drops it. It seems like Carrie is going to stick with the law firm and BB, when Larisa sends her an advance copy of "Interview" with her purse inside.
At the dance, Carrie gets hot and heavy with George, and Sebastian's eyes are on them the whole time. Kidd is jealous and Donna picks up on it. Carrie and George go back to his limo where he tries to pressure her into having sex. Carrie says no and George reveals himself to be the sleazeball we all kind of knew he was. Gag when he asked Carrie to take care of him.
Meanwhile, Maggie is at the dance stag since Walt has the chicken pox. She runs afoul of Officer Statutory Rape and succumbs to his "charms" in the back of his squad car. Donna spies them emerging and puts two and two together. If a skank like Donna knows anything, it's when people have hooked up in the backseat of a car. She attempts to blackmail Maggie into keeping an eye on Carrie so she can keep her away from Sebastian, but Maggie confesses everything to her. Carrie advises her to come clean with Walt and doesn't judge her. What a good friend!
While all this is going on, Mouse and her boyfriend are trying to break in to a teachers room, to drop off Mouse's extra credit because she got a B+. They decide to break up because they are dragging each other's grades down? Whatever.
Dorrit and Papa Bradshaw go to The Nutcracker, previously a mother/daughter bonding experience, and there is friction, that is resolved, until the next episode. Again, I say whatever. It was nice to see Dorrit de-Gothed though.
At the end of the episode, Carrie walks into "Interivew" magazine, thrilled with her internship. By the looks of next week's episode, the elation doesn't last long.
So, what did you guys think? Were you surprised that George didn't last longer? Should Walt just come out already? Are you hoping Mouse gets better storylines? Let me know in the comments.
