Charlotte is a MILF — and Che is a villain — in ‘And Just Like That’ Episode 3
Making the MILF list is pretty exciting for Charlotte York Goldenblatt and Lisa Todd Wexley in “And Just Like That” — but the latest installment was less thrilling for Che Diaz, whose relationship with Miranda Hobbes is now on the rocks.
In Season 2, Episode 3, Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker) hears about a list ranking moms’ hotness at a PTA meeting at the Arbor School, discovering she ranks second and Charlotte third.
After feigning outrage at the list for approximately five seconds, Lisa and Charlotte discover the MILF culprit, a misbehaving student.
Milo H. walks out of the principal’s office like he’s walking away from a slow-motion explosion, and Charlotte and Lisa swoon for a moment — yes, they’re ogling a teen — before deciding that MILF-gate shouldn’t get in the way of the handsome wrongdoer’s bright future.
Kristin Davis, who first brought prim and proper Charlotte York to life in 1998, has hinted that her character has more surprises in store for this season of “AJTL,” telling People magazine that we should expect to see a “freer” version of the show’s resident good girl.
“There’s something toward the end of this season where you definitely haven’t seen this from Charlotte,” Davis promised.
The MILF list manages to be the most outrageous plot line in an episode featuring a fake case of COVID, a dramatic couple’s quarrel at Che’s live taping and a Birkin theft.
Carrie’s main arc shows her struggling to record the audiobook version of her upcoming memoir about Big’s death by Peloton. “I keep popping my Ps and swallowing my Ts,” she whines, after receiving notes on her enunciation.
But Carrie has bigger things to worry about than her “P” popping.
Unable to make it through the big “Big” death scene, Carrie fakes a case of COVID and spends half the episode hiding at home with her face mask and expensive chocolate as she deals with her unresolved grief.
Elsewhere, the show decides to sprinkle in a hint of daddy issues to complement the MILF mania.
As the live taping of the first episode of Che Diaz’s TV show, “Che Pasa,” approaches, they worry about filming a scene with TV dad Tony Danza involving a confrontation about Che’s non-binary identity.
The scene taping begins with a few jokes but manages to work toward a touching conclusion as Tony Danza’s character tells Che that he loves them no matter what.
Miranda then ruins the moment when her Android goes off in front of an entire studio audience as she awaits a call from her distressed son, Brady, who’s stranded in Amsterdam after a bad breakup.
This leads to an argument between Che and Miranda on the Warner Bros. studio lot about whether Che’s fictional family drama pulls rank over Miranda’s potentially-suicidal son.
It’s a “yucky moment” for the fledgling couple, and it ends with Miranda flying back to the Big Apple to comfort Brady.
The confrontation was spurred by a moment of narcissism from Che, whose total lack of sympathy for Miranda’s situation has led critics to observe that the character is descending into “full villain mode.”
Meanwhile, Seema was walking down the street swinging her signature caramel Birkin bag, which retails for something in the ballpark of $30,000 and infamously requires all hopeful owners to register on a waitlist. Her fashionable stride is derailed when the bag is ripped from her hands by a burglar in the opening minutes of this week’s episode.
She tearfully tells Carrie, “I bought it so long ago, there wasn’t even a waitlist.”
Seema then compares the lost handbag to Carrie’s dead husband, to which the Manolo-loving protagonist replies: “It wasn’t just a handbag, it was a Birkin…It meant something to you.”
At the end of the episode, Seema reunites with her Birkin after finding it in a bush, and she and Carrie socialize with some handsome strangers over Cosmopolitans.
And just like that, Carrie’s fake case of COVID becomes a real one.
