Charlotte is playing host to the Halloween party. After their costume party goes successfully, she is back to her parental role.

Nya
Nya is still on the rebound after her breakup with Andre and she’s at Charlotte’s party hoping to meet a man. At the bar with Seema, Nya ends up picking up a gentleman. Nya, seeing how stressed Miranda’s living situation is making her, offers Miranda the opportunity to move in.
Nya’s Fashion Moments
Nya had an impressive turn dressed as Catwoman. Her low-cut patterned dress at the bar with Seema also got her lucky with a man for the night.
Lisa
Lisa is having the time of her life dressed as the Bride of Frankenstein at Charlotte’s party as she dances with Anthony, who is dressed as the devil. Herbert shows up, not bothering to wear the George Washington costume Lisa picked for him and tells Lisa that dancing with someone dressed as the devil is bad press optics, and it’s clear he’s feeling the stress of running for city comptroller. He later makes use of the George Washington costume as they have some light role-play before getting intimate.
Lisa’s fashion moments
The hair and makeup department looks like it had its work cut out for them to accomplish Lisa’s very detailed Bride of Frankenstein look.
Seema
Seema is in a bar when a well-dressed gin salesman approaches and flirts with her. All seems to go well until they go back to her townhouse and Seema learns he has erectile dysfunction. Seema reluctantly tells Carrie she will see him again, but their fling ends when Seema uses a vibrator while she’s in bed with him and he takes grave offense.
Seema’s fashion moments
Although Seema spends much of the episode unclothed in bed, the one-shoulder dress she wore at the bar certainly got his attention.
Carrie
This episode is momentous for Carrie as she explores dating again after Bigg’s passing. A man in the bike lane crashes into her when she’s crossing the street. She stops to help the man after she thinks she may have broken his wrist or given him a blood clot.
Carrie takes him to urgent care and learns his name is George. They become seemingly flirtatious with each other. After leaving urgent care, they return to his house where Carrie meets his business partner Paul who interrupts their intimacy and reminds George they are on a deadline for their latest app.
When they try getting intimate later in the episode, Paul calls and asks for their app deck. Paul starts having a whole conversation with Carrie, at which point Carrie decides George and Paul are too involved in each other’s lives to the point it seems like they are dating, and she sneaks off, ending the episode.
Carrie’s Fashion Moments
Viewers finally get a look at the Pierre Cardin bag, blazer, plaid coat and multicolored dress Carrie wore in the promotional trailer for the second season. This is the outfit she wears when George crashes into her in the bike lane.
To help Miranda pick out a mattress to move into Nya’s place, she wears a bedazzled fascinator.
Perhaps her best look is at the beginning of the episode, where she wears a gold dress and ties her hair into pigtails as she cosplays famed Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown for Halloween.
