To make matters worse, the woman he's dumping her for--Miranda--dumps ''him'' not two seconds after they sleep together again, meaning he just cost himself a potentially great relationship for someone who doesn't give a damn about him. And she's ''already'' treated him crap beforehand, so he ''really'' should have known better.

** Richard SlutShaming Samantha and refusing her a job because she slept with his architect. Samantha points out the hypocrisy by saying, "If I were a guy, you would have shaken my hand, bought me a scotch, and given me a key to an office." She makes it to the elevator before breaking down in tears. (Although it becomes better when Richard calls Samantha back and offers her the job anyway because her speech impressed him.)

It turns out [[spoiler:her her friends were stuck in traffic]], traffic. They eventually get together at a coffee shop, but still...Carrie, still depressed, has this to say:
-->'''Carrie''': The longer I sat at that table, the more alone I felt. And it really hit me: I am 35 and alone.
-->'''Miranda''': You are not alone.
-->'''Carrie''': No, I know I have you guys, but... and really, I hate myself a little for saying this, but... it felt really sad not to have a man in my life who cares about me. No special guy to wish me happy birthday. No goddamn soulmate. And I don't even know if I believe in soulmates.
** Followed by a Heartwarming tearjerker moment, with Charlotte suggesting [the four of them] could be each other's soulmates.
-->'''Charlotte''': And then we could let men be just these great nice guys to have fun with?
** The crowning moment occurs at the end with Big, whom Carrie invited to her party, showing up at her stoop in his limo to see, topped off with balloons and champagne, really bringing forth the happy tears.

* Carrie and Berger struggling to make their relationship work and ultimately failing, with him walking out on her the morning after they've supposedly reconciled and decided to give things another try. It's a very realistic scenario that the writers themselves described as "Meeting The Right Guy. . .At The Wrong Time." that a lot of viewers can emphasize with.
