She wonders if modern Manhattan girls like her are just sluts, and is he serious, or, as Samantha suggests, becoming just a friend?

Miranda discovers she has chlamydia, so she calls all her 42 former partners, and Steve suffers an intimate test despite being monogamous. One of Samantha's countless dates accidentally allowed a violent robber into her posh building; as soon as the other tenants find out, she feels shunned...—KGF Vissers

- Carrie wants to sleep with Aidan, but he's reluctant to rush into a physical relationship. Aidan is a great kisser and makes Carrie weak in the knees. She is impatient to get in bed with him. Carrie tries to bucket Shaw as a friend or a boyfriend with everything he says. Samantha says if they don't have sex soon, he will be a friend who kisses. The next time Aidan tries to make an excuse to get out of having sex, Carrie slams the door in his face. Turns out Shaw is a romantic and Carrie is embarrassed that it didn't occur to her. Aidan keeps up the guessing routine, but he is really a sweet person. He keeps charming Carrie by things like drawing a relaxing bath for her. Carrie invites Aidan into the bath with her.

This also means that Miranda is confronted with her "number", the number of sexual partners she has had in life as a 30 something old woman. She finds that she got it from the lawyer dude David (David Lansbury) she dated, the one who was always angry and made partner. He was tested (before Miranda) and was found positive. But he never called her. Miranda yells at David before slamming the phone down. Steve gets the test (swab from inside the penis) and tests negative. Miranda's reveals her number to Steve, and it is 42. Steve's number is a lot higher (he is a bartender and is cute). It's a lot higher than 60.
Charlottes' new boyfriend calls her names (bitch and whore) during sex. Charlotte is mortified that she is now considered a prostitute as nobody decent wants to marry such a woman. Turns out the dude just involuntarily blurts it out when he comes and has no idea or memory of it being said. Charlotte points this out to the guy and he is mortified. He says that Charlotte is the kind of person he hopes to marry one day and promises never to call her those names again. The guy cannot bring himself to come again, until Charlotte allows him to call her those horrible names again. He starts seeing a therapist.
Samantha's neighbors disapprove of her sex life after a late-night visitor to her apartment lets in a burglar, who holds one of the apartment owners at gunpoint to steal from them. The building residents say Samantha is bad for the building. She is exposed. The residents ban Samantha from the building and says that she has too many outside visitors which put the building at risk. Samantha moves to the meat packing district. The rents are much higher, but it is worth it as people do not judge each other.
