The Carrie Diaries, Episode 10: "The Long and Winding Road Not Taken"
It's Carrie Bradshaw's 17th birthday and as per usual, she is torn. Should she hang out with her friends and finally turn her V card in with Sebastian, or should she go work the door at a fabulous literary party for Interview. Carrie's friends each kind of find more important things to do, one by one, so Carrie doesn't feel guilty about going into the city. I mean, really though, was there really any competition? A lame teen party or a hot magazine party, filled with publishers and editors and people who could help Carrie in her chosen profession. Sebastian is going to go with Carrie, but he decides not to, so Carrie decides to invite her best gay -- er, best guy friend, Walt.
When Sebastian ends up at the party, is where things begin to get interesting. Sebastian quickly starts downing liquor and getting wasted. Carrie has been having a great time, before the Kidd shows up. With Larissa's help, she has caught the ear of a book publisher, who is interested in publishing her diaries. Sebastian puts Carrie in quite the pickle. She is torn about whether she should continue trying to help an increasingly belligerent Sebastian or work on her ambitions.
Meanwhile, Walt is continuing to take a few tentative steps out of the closet. I'm happy that the show has taken Walt's coming out so slowly. I was afraid that Walt would already be out of the closet by now, exclaiming "Fabulous!" every chance he got. The writers have been handling Walt's storyline with care and it is another way that this series reflects the original. For the most part, the SATC writers treated their gay characters with a lot of respect. I mean, as long as we just completely disregard the second movie and I think we are all OK with doing that. Bennet and Walt are really cute together and I'm fine with them taking this burgeoning relationship slowly. They are also handling his relationship with Maggie nicely. She tries to get back together with Walt, but he lets her down gently. I'm hoping that their relationship doesn't fracture when she finds out the truth.
Dorrit is tasked with buying Carrie a tape for her birthday. So, she goes to the old record store and meets a cute guy who is working there. He looks way older than her, but whatever. She tries to shoplift and is busted. She leaves the store in a huff. The Father Bradshaw finds her trying to pawn off a family record on Carrie and sends her back to the store. She ends up bonding with the records store guy and they make out. Whew. I'm glad that's over.
Bact at the par-tay, Carrie opts to tend to a drunken Sebastian. She drives his car home, terribly. They have a cute moment at his door and he invites her in. It seems like Carrie is going to cash in her V-card, but they are interrupted by Sebastian's boozy absentee mother.
Also, Carrie gives Donna a purse that she really wants.
So, what did you guys think? Was your 17th birthday as eventful as Carrie's? Let me know in the comments.
