(continued)

Meanwhile, Big and Carrie have put the abortion behind them and seem well on their way to marriage. But in a post-coital spoon session after a bout of strenuous lovemaking on 600-count Egyptian cotton sheets, he drops a bomb on her: It turns out he actually has a love child in São Paulo, the product of a boozy business trip to Brazil three years ago. What's more, how does she feel about the little tyke coming to live with him in New York? Carrie is floored. Now that she and Big had a stable relationship, she was thinking about trying to get pregnant again. Now she's not so sure it should be with Big. "Is it okay to give the one real love in your life another shot, even if he knocked up some skank in a foreign country and is liable to do it again?" she asks contemplatively. After a trip to Barneys to clear her mind, she decides it is.



The next morning, however, she is confronted with a surprise visitor outside of her apartment building. It is Petrovsky! (Remember him?) He's in town for a major retrospective of his work at the Guggenheim, he tells her. He is riding a camel. In one hand he holds a spine-worn copy of Settled at Last! With characteristic old-world charm, he says, "I read whole shitty book so I might sex you forever in style of dog." Carrie feels a flutter in her chest.

Carrie tells Miranda about Petrovsky's visit. Miranda has just had Steve's mother-in-law euthanized after a losing battle with Alzheimer's. She threatens to euthanize Carrie.

Over a clandestine espresso with Petrovsky at the Viennese café in the Neue Galerie, the Russian gets real with Carrie. "I do not want cheeeldren," he tells her. "But I will buy you diamonds as big as fists." Carrie is torn!

Carrie asks Samantha what she should do about Petrovsky's visit. "Castrate him," Samantha says. "Sex ruins everything." She then asks Charlotte. "I don't have time to think about this shit anymore. It's fight night." Carrie is confused!

Days pass. Carrie still doesn't know what to do. She decides to come clean about the Petrovsky situation with Big. Not long after she shows up to break the news, however, they end up having toe-curling sex in a trash compactor. Carrie realizes she loves Big and only Big. Shortly thereafter, she's pregnant!

Nine months pass. Samatha's breast cancer is completely in remission! She celebrates with a suite of cosmetic surgery. The makeover is so profound that Samantha, for the last six minutes of the film, is played by Usher.

Carrie, Big, Smith, Usher, and Miranda climb in a cab to see Charlotte's pit bull, Audrey Hepburn, square off against some Mexican's Doberman in Chinatown. Around 14th Street, however, Carrie's water breaks. With excitement, they speed to NYU Hospital. "I love you," Big tells Carrie. "I love you, too," Carrie tells Big. They kiss.

And ... scene.
