Carrie calls Aiden later in the night, and tells her she faked their phone sex the night prior.
She then attempts to start it up again, but he tells her his son is sleeping next to him. Embarrassed, she awkwardly apologizes and hangs up.
Unable to go to sleep as he house alarm went off again, Carrie gets up and opens her laptop, beginning to write.
'The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into,' Carrie wrote, before the episode came to an end.
The show picks up 11 years after the events of the 2010 film Sex and the City 2, and follows three of the four original main characters.
Following the success of Kim Cattrall 's cameo in the second season, it's been widely reported Samantha will return for at least part of the third season.
Sara Ramirez will not be returning as controversial non-binary comedian Che Diaz (there's some disagreement as to whether this was because of their political posts, because of the end of the character's relationship with Miranda, or because viewers just found them so annoying).
Karen Pittman also won't return as Columbia law professor Nya Wallace because of scheduling conflicts.
Meanwhile The OC's Logan Marshall-Green and the one and only Patti LuPone will all make appearances in the new series.
Since starting in December 2021, the Sex And The City spin-off has seen Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte grapple with sexuality, gender identity, death, grief, divorce, drug use, and pretty much every other hot issue in Western society.
The original Sex and the City ran for six seasons, airing on HBO from 1998 until 2004.
The story continued with two feature films: Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010).
The first season of And Just Like That... premiered in 2021.
There will be 12 episodes in And Just Like That… season 3, with the last premiering on August 14.
The season 3 premiere comes after Parker revealed Mr. Big's death on the show was 'really hard' for her to film.
The actress addressed the shocking moment in the show where Carrie's husband Mr. Big (Chris Noth) died of a heart attack after working out on his Pelaton bike.
Mr. Big had been a staple character of Sex And The City and Carrie's main love interest so it was a risk for writers to kill him off.
Speaking on The E! News Sitdown with Bruce Bozzi, Sarah gave her thoughts on the storyline.
She said: 'Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally. That's not just a thread. It's one of the main arteries that you would struggle to do without.'
'It was really sad to say goodbye to that. It's not like I needed it for my own health or wellbeing. But that was a hugely wonderful story to tell for a lot of years.'
Since Big's death, Carrie has rekindled her romance with old flame Aidan, who she was involved with in seasons three and four of Sex And The City.

Shares dither, dollar falls as trade angst persists
SINGAPORE, June 3 (Reuters) - Asia shares edged cautiously higher on Tuesday while the dollar fell to a six-week low as erratic U.S. trade policies clouded over markets and investors turned defensive ahead of key developments later in the week. U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will likely speak this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday, days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions. The call between the two leaders will be closely watched by markets to see if the tariff-induced blow to global stocks and the dollar this year could get some reprieve or ratchet up, as trade tensions between the world's two largest economies simmer. Data on Monday showed U.S. manufacturing contracted for a third straight month in May and suppliers took the longest time in nearly three years to deliver inputs amid tariffs. "The May ISM showed tariff pressure is beginning to bite for manufacturers who are seeing slowing activity, longer lead times and declining inventories," said economists at Wells Fargo. China's factory activity in May also shrank for the first time in eight months, a private-sector survey showed on Tuesday, indicating U.S. tariffs are starting to hurt manufacturers. The gloomy global trade situation left U.S. futures falling early in the Asian session, failing to sustain the slight gains made during the cash session on Wall Street overnight. Nasdaq futures and S&P 500 futures were both down 0.2% each. In Europe, EUROSTOXX 50 futures advanced 0.28% and FTSE futures added 0.15%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS), opens new tab reversed early losses to last trade 0.6% higher, while Japan's Nikkei (.N225), opens new tab rose 0.66%. "Trump really does have sentiment in the palm of his hands once again," said Matt Simpson, senior market analyst at City Index. "I suspect we'll hear about 'a really great call' or words to the effect," he said, referring to the expected call between Trump and Xi. "But we'll need to wait for confirmation from China, who tends to take their time on these matters. Until we get concrete confirmation, price action could be shaky and vulnerable to false also have the June 4 deadline for 'best trade deals' from U.S. trading partners to factor in." In China, mainland markets returned from an extended break on a muted note, with the CSI300 blue-chip index (.CSI300), opens new tab up 0.23% while the Shanghai Composite Index (.SSEC), opens new tab gained 0.3%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (.HIS), opens new tab jumped more than 1%, rebounding from Monday's one-month low. The dollar fell to a six-week low against a basket of currencies to 98.58 on Tuesday, ahead of Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls data, which will offer a timely reading on the pulse of activity in the world's largest economy. A rise in unemployment is one of the few developments that could get the Federal Reserve to start thinking of easing policy again, with investors having largely given up on a cut this month or next. The euro scaled a six-week top earlier in the session before paring some of its gains to last trade at $1.1426, while sterling dipped 0.09% to $1.3532. A softer U.S. jobs report would be a relief for the Treasury market, where 30-year yields continue to flirt with the 5% barrier as investors demand a higher premium to offset the ever-expanding supply of debt. The Senate this week will start considering a tax-and-spending bill that will add an estimated $3.8 trillion to the federal government's $36.2 trillion in debt. "The evidence suggests term premium being re-priced considerably higher to account for U.S. fiscal, trade, credit, and geoeconomic risks alongside some hedge against (U.S. dollar) debasement," said Vishnu Varathan, head of macro research for Asia ex-Japan at Mizuho. The dollar was up 0.35% against the yen at 143.20 , reversing some of its 0.9% decline from the previous session. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Tuesday it is important to make policy judgements without any preset ideas as uncertainty over global tariff policies remains extremely high. In commodities, oil prices rose on concerns about supply, with Brent crude futures climbing 0.88% to $65.20 a barrel, while U.S. crude surged 1% to $63.13 per barrel. Spot gold rose to a roughly one-month high of $3,392.03 an ounce.

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.

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.

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.

‘I was let out': New Orleans man who escaped jail pleads case on social media
A man still at large after escaping from a New Orleans jail last month appears to have taken to social media to plead his case to the public. In a video that quickly went viral, the man identifying himself as Antoine Massey – one of 10 prisoners who fled from the Orleans Justice center (OJC) on 16 May – said he was wrongfully accused and held up papers he said corroborate his innocence. 'They say that I broke out,' he said, speaking directly to the camera. 'I didn't break out. I was let out.' Authorities have been searching the New Orleans area for more than two weeks since the men squeezed through a hole behind a toilet in the jail. Graffiti left on the wall included the message 'To Easy LoL' with an arrow pointing to the gap. Eight of the 10 have been apprehended, along with more than a dozen people – many of them friends and family – arrested on allegations of helping the group with food, cash, transportation or shelter, according to court documents. Along with Massey, Derrick Groves has not yet been found. Officials have not yet verified that the person in the footage was Massey. But the man in the video, clad in a sweatsuit and sitting on a stool in a minimally furnished kitchen, has the facial tattoos that match Massey's. He called for an investigation into his conviction and asked for help from public figures, including Donald Trump and Meek Mill. Holding up a wrinkled paper to the camera, he claimed he had a signed affidavit from a woman he is accused of assaulting saying the allegations are false. 'If you was an innocent person,' he said, 'why would you stay in jail?' Massey was being held on the theft of a vehicle and for a domestic abuse charge involving strangulation when he escaped. He has a history of both domestic violence charges and escaping from incarceration. At the age of 15 he broke out of a juvenile detention center with five others using metal shackles to break a window and was on the run for weeks, CNN reported. Massey slipped under a fence in the exercise yard of a detention center at age 27. Court records show there was a third attempt, along with several cases alleging he 'tampered and/or removed the court-ordered GPS monitor'. Now 32, Massey appears to be claiming this attempt to get out is justified. Meanwhile, the FBI, US Marshals Service, state and local police, and the Orleans parish sheriff's office have continued the search. As of Monday, the reward was set for $50,000 if information leads to the arrest of Groves or Massey. In a statement, the Orleans parish sheriff's office said they were aware of the video and encouraged Massey to turn himself in. 'If the individual depicted in the video is indeed Antoine Massey, we strongly urge him to come forward and turn himself in to the proper authorities,' the statement said. 'Cooperating with law enforcement is in his best interest and may help avoid additional charges. It is important that justice is served appropriately and that due process is followed.'
