But despite fans fuming over one specific character and being cringed out over a phone sex scene, there was another moment that stunned fans of the show.
Miranda Hobbes, played by Cynthia Nixon, was seen having sex with a virgin nun played by Rosie O'Donnell.
Rosie is known as a talk show host, comedian, and actress.
She began her comedy career as a teenager and received her breakthrough on the television series Star Search in 1984.
In the new AJLT episode, which was titled Outlook Good, Rosie, 63, played the role of a virgin nun named Mary.
The two hit it off while drinking in a bar, with the virgin nun flirting with Miranda.
"You are so pretty," Mary said to Miranda.
The nun was brazen and quickly said that she had a "hotel room" before they both headed back there together.
Enjoying a passionate night together, the morning after Mary made a confession.
She revealed the truth to Miranda, which left her utterly stunned.
Mary revealed that Miranda had in fact taken her virginity.
DIVIDED FAN REACTION
Viewers were completely divided by the raunchy scene and storyline.
"Miranda taking a nun's virginity is such a Samantha storyline," said one person, referencing the beloved Sex and the City character who does not feature fully in AJLT.
Another was stunned and simply said: "The concept of miranda deflowering a nun."

"I can't stand Miranda now. The whole virgin nun scene was stupid," slammed a third.
A fourth then wrote: "What a disaster of an episode lmao, BUT the Miranda and the lesbian nun subplot was decent writing because it actually propelled her forward and made her reflect on her queer awakening."
While a fifth said: "Where are we going with this Miranda deflowered a nun storyline?"
And a sixth penned: "Miranda hooks up with a virgin nun? This is the kind of shenanigans we would get on the old show. Maybe there's hope for this season. lol."
PHONE SEX SCENE
This came as Carrie Bradshaw and Aidan Shaw were embroiled in a phone sex scene.
Before the new series got underway, Carrie and Aidan embarked on a five-year break.
But despite Aidan not being in New York, he did return to screens - and made his way back into Carrie's life, too.
Calling Carrie from his Virginia home, the pair could be seen having a rather steamy conversation that turned into phone sex - a scene many people thought was "cringe".
Reacting to the phone sex scene, one person penned on X: "Who THE F**K thought this phone sex scene was the thing to do…"
Another added: "I ache for you - followed by the worst phone sex scene I've ever heard. I'm gonna vomit now."
And a third said: "Please no more phone sex scenes."

Renee Zellweger stuns as she leads the stars at Gotham Television Awards amid rumors about Ant Anstead romance
Renée Zellweger looked gorgeous in an off-the-shoulder black dress at Monday evening's 2025 Gotham Television Awards in New York City. The 56-year-old longtime actress — whom sources tell is living apart from boyfriend Ant Anstead, 46 — commanded attention in the form-fitting number, which cinched at the waist and fell to her ankles. She wore her blonde locks in a fuss-free updo that included a side part and face-framing loose strands at the front. Zellweger kept the look simple, opting for minimal accessories as she rounded out the outfit with pointy-toe black heels. Her wrinkle-free face was taut and glowing as she hit the red carpet in natural-looking makeup. The Bridget Jones's Diary star has been in the Big Apple filming the new season of Only Murders in the Building. Last month she was spotted working on a scene with fellow Hollywood vet Bobby Cannavale. During the mid-May shoot day Zellweger sported a ginger-toned bob hairstyle with a side part and flipped ends. Details regarding her OMITB character have been kept under wraps, but co-star/producer Selena Gomez recently shared photos from the production featuring Zellweger. Friends of the siren told in February that she has put the brakes on her relationship with Anstead, revealing she is not interested in marriage. 'Renée and Ant have been dating for over three years,' one insider said. 'She loves the relationship the way it is. 'She's seen so many couples, especially celebrities like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who have happily dated, only to split not long after getting married. 'Why would she risk rocking the boat and rushing to take her relationship with Ant to the next level?' Alec Baldwin, 67, and wife Hilaria Baldwin, 41, coordinated in shades of blue. Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria Baldwin coordinated in shades of blue Her co-star Leslie Bibb, 51, was also in attendance, arriving in a pale turquoise satin dress with a high collar Hilaria looked darling in a slinky, sleeveless, royal blue number with a flesh-baring cutout at the back. She showed off a fresh haircut featuring her brunette locks chopped into flattering face-framing bangs. Parker Posey, 56, was among the superstars at the awards show on Monday. The White Lotus actress wowed in a cream-colored dress with a plunging neckline and long, sheer, bell sleeves. The fashion-forward beauty added matching lacy gloves to the 60s-inspired look, which included a subtly ruffled hemline. Parker debuted a new look — a rust-hued hairstyle with a center part and curled ends. She added round, pink-tinted sunglasses and carried a chic handbag with a long chain that she gathered around her hand. Her costar Leslie Bibb, 51, was also in attendance, arriving in a pale turquoise satin dress with a high collar. And another White Lotus standout, 44-year-old Carrie Coon, looked exquisite in an off-the-shoulder white column gown. Sheryl Lee Ralph, 68, looked younger than her years in a little black dress with a side slit. Her halter neck look showed off her cleavage and she punctuated the timeless look with open-toe heels, revealing a white pedicure. She flashed her megawatt smile in a full face of glamorous makeup, and her dark locks were arranged in a center part and fluffy curls. Jenny Slate, 43, arrived in an eye-catching black dress featuring a short white shawl accoutrement. The It Ends With Us actress accentuated her trim waistline with the frock's corset bodice, which transitioned into a billowy skirt. Her jaw-length jet black locks were in a middle part with a natural tousled texture and one side tucked behind her ear. Severance star Britt Lower, 39, modeled a sleeveless white dress with thin black line accents. Her red hair was pulled into a sleek updo with short, side-swept bangs left out at the front. Also dressed in white was Netflix actress Lovie Simone, who stars in the streamer's hit coming-of-age series Forever. She posed for photos in a Versace gown with asymmetric straps, a thigh-high slit, and subtle ruching. The New York native complemented the getup with a bombshell hairstyle that was parted on the side and set in tight wand waves. Her old Hollywood glamour-inspired makeup was complete with a matte, berry-toned lip stain. Actress Justine Lupe looked great arriving in a delicate black slip dress with beaded accents throughout. The 36-year-old Nobody Wants This star wore her long, bright blonde locks loose, set in a middle part and slightly textured as they flowed down her back. Her makeup was flawlessly applied and featured fluttery lashes that made her blue eyes pop, and glossy pink lipstick. Meanwhile, YouTube sensation Cleo Abram, 32, turned heads in a two-toned green and black slip dress. The top half of the look boasted low-cut black lace while the lower half called attention with an emerald green skirt. She added pointy-toe black heels to pull the sultry getup together. Model Haley Kalil, 32, looked angelic in a flowing, low-cut white dress with stone detailing at the chest. Actress Rachel Brosnahan, 34, bared her long legs in a quirky black mini dress. The netted number boasted a thigh-length black skirt that swelled at her hips, creating an exaggerated silhouette. The sleeveless look teased a built-in black bra underneath, and the Superman star pulled her glossy, dark locks back for the occasion. Actress Madeline Brewer, 33, was fashion-forward in a green sleeveless dress with draped detail. The 2025 Gotham TV Awards ceremony, celebrating outstanding achievement in television, was held at Cipriani Wall Street. Crime series Adolescence led the nominations across three categories — Breakthrough Limited Series, Lead Performance in a Limited Series, and Supporting Performance in a Limited Series. AppleTV+'s The Studio took home the first award of the night for Breakthrough Comedy Series, per The Hollywood Reporter.

'I might not make it': Sarah Jessica Parker on the stress of reading two books a day
Sarah Jessica Parker was the subject of some unwanted headlines over the past few weeks after saying she reads two books a day. While speculation of her reading capabilities circulates, the actress continues the challenging mountain of novels she has to get through in order to be a judge for the Booker Prize. The actress is part of a panel of judges for the literary award which announces the "Booker Dozen" of 12 or 13 books on 29 July, its shortlist on 23 September and the overall winner on 10 November. The winner receives £50,000. "I have one by my side now," Sarah Jessica tells Sky News during an interview for her show And Just Like That. "It's been hard these last two weeks because we've been promoting the show and I thought I would be able to read between interviews, but you can read two words. You can read these three sentences, so I'm feeling very anxious about how many books I have yet to read for our next deliberation," she says. The Sex And The City actress compares the workload to preparing to take an exam. "I've not ever felt this behind, including in high school. Like, I really am not entirely sure how I'm going to read the required amount of books by our next deliberation," she says. "I thought about this last night in bed, that even if I stay up every day and don't sleep, I might not make it. So I'm not sure how. I have to not make dinner for anybody, not do anybody's laundry. I have cut out all tasks. So we'll see. It's pretty fantastic, this burden is pretty wonderful." Turning to her spin-off series, she says she never paid much attention to the cultural impact Sex And The City had on portraying women in their 30s on screen without a rose-tinted lens. "I think we're just always wanting to tell interesting stories," she says. "And the rule in the writing room has been, for as long as I've known, the story can only be as far removed as one person from the writer, so every single story told has either happened to a writer or to a friend or family member or colleague of the writer." She says what makes it real is that the show deals with real moments that happen to women as they age, from children flying the nest to navigating the dating pool. "You don't flat line at 50 or 60. People are living pretty colourful, interesting, exciting lives and they have influence and authority. They're trying new things. They're leaving marriages. They're saying goodbye to kids. They're starting new jobs, they're leaving jobs, and they're getting married, they are widows, there's just endless amounts to talk about and it should be," she says. 'It is insane there aren't more shows like us' Her co-star Kristin Davis agrees and states her main hope for returning was to break certain taboos for women now in their 50s. "It is insane that there aren't more shows like us, you know? I'm hoping that there will be," she says. "It's very interesting that somehow women, especially at a certain age, you're just supposed to just vanish. I don't know where we're supposed to be and that just makes no sense." Sex And The City was 'incredibly white', says Cynthia Nixon For Cynthia Nixon, playing Miranda now as a lesbian character allowed the show to explore the challenges that face people coming out later in life and navigating the world they find themselves in. She says although Sex And The City broke taboos for white women in their 30s, she felt the original iteration of their show wasn't as reflective of the real world as it could have been. "The one thing that didn't really sit well with me in the past was how incredibly white the show was," she says. "So, I think to expand the universe of, you know, who gets to be centred in the show has been a tremendous boon. Whether you're talking about people of colour, whether you're talk about queer people, people of different ages. We used to have a wonderfully fascinating lens, but it was fairly narrow. "We've moved in our view of queer people… for so long, if you wanted to put a gay person on screen, one of the ways to make them palatable was to really emphasise their funniness and I think we have many very funny gay characters, but we're able to, I think, have a more well-rounded view of them."
