Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.
Still away from New York, the girls embark on week two of their Los Angeles adventure. Hoping to get away from the happy superficiality of LA and reconnect with her neurotic roots, Miranda gets together with Lou, an old New York friend. But instead of trashing LA as Miranda hoped, Lou says the city has taught him to let go of his toxic anger. Meanwhile, Carrie and Samantha try to live the quintessential LA. scene by going to a movie screening party - but they're rejected at the door. Luckily, Carrie meets Keith, who gets them into the party. Wowed by Keith's status, Carrie goes on a date with him and ends up in bed at his fabulous home...until Keith's boss comes in the house and lets the cat out of the bag -- Keith isn't a television mogul; he's a personal assistant. Back home, after another failed attempt to have sex with Trey, Charlotte decides she misses her friends and hops on a plane to LA. Over lunch, Charlotte breaks the news that her marriage is fake, and they're not having sex -- the girls are stunned. And in a last ditch effort to be LA women, the girls all head to Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion for a pool party.
