But before we tune in to their new adventures, we all need a little refresher. After all, it’s been too long since we’ve seen Carrie on our screens! Take a look at some of the biggest plot points of season 2 below so you don’t miss a thing!

What Happened in ‘And Just Like That’ Season 2?

Here are all the key things that happened in And Just Like That… season 2 to get you up to speed for season 3.

Carrie & Aidan Made a Pact

In season 2, Carrie reunited once again with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), the ever so charming furnite designer who’s always had a soft spot for her. The two met on Valentine’s Day after 13 years apart and instantly rekindled their relationship.

Despite Aidan not wanting to enter Carrie’s apartment (it had too many sour memories for him), the two continued strong throughout the season, with Carrie buying a massive apartment in Gramery Park by the end of the season where they could live together. Sadly, however, Aidan’s 14-year-old son Wyatt, who was having a hard time at school, crashed his truck when he was high on drugs, and Aidan knew he had to be there for him.

When talking to Carrie about his decision to stay in Virgnia, he asked her to wait for him for five years. By then, Wyatt will have gone to college and Aidan would finally be able to move out and move in with Carrie.

“No matter what happens… this was not a mistake,” Carrie says as they say goodbye, per TVLine.

Charlotte Returned to the Art World

Since having her two kids with Harry, Charlotte dedicated most of her time to being their mom and a housewife. In season 2 of And Just Like That…, she admits that she wants to go back to work as an art gallerist, a career she excelled in during the Sex and the City years.

She does eventually go back to work (and even sells a painting to Sam Smith while she’s at it), and it flips her dynamic with Harry. For the first time in years, Harry’s the one running errands and picking the kids up from school.

As for their kids, Lily started dating Brady, Miranda, and Steve’s son, while Rock came out in season 2 as non-binary and pursued a career in modeling.

Miranda Is Single Again

While fans of the show were perhaps rooting for Miranda and Che (Sara Ramírez) to split since their relationship ended Miranda’s marriage to Steve (David Eigenberg), they did indeed call it quits in season 2. After fighting on and off throughout the season, especially after Che’s TV pilot flops, Che ended things in episode 6.

“From where we are now, this probably isn’t going to get better,” Che told Miranda.

After their breakup, Miranda continues exploring her sexuality and goes on a date with a voiceover artist named Amelia Carsey (Miriam Shor). It doesn’t go well and Miranda scurries off before Amelia is back with the laundry.

Lisa Todd Wexley Lost Her Pregnancy

Another major plotpoint in season 2 involved Lisa Todd Wexley and her husband Herbet (Chris Jackson). In the second-to-last episode, she finds out she’s pregnant and is understandably upset. After spending years taking care of her kids, her dreams of making it as a filmmaker were finally coming true. “I just need to wrap my head around this new reality,” she says to her husband at one point. “I always do.”

Before she even gets used to the idea, however, LTW suffers a miscarriage in the finale and is riddled with guilt.

Samantha Jones Returned, But Not for Long

While we think this plotline might not come up in season 3, we couldn’t recap season 2 without Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) and her long-awaited cameo. In the scene, Samantha calls Carrie to say that she won’t be able to make it to her apartment for a goodbye dinner because of a flight delay (Samantha is now living in London). Carrie then puts Samantha on speaker before she says, “Thank you for everything, you f—- fabulous, fabulous flat.” It was iconic, to say the least.
