![]() But wouldn’t ya know, on her way home, she runs into Bitsy. ![]() When she can’t hold back the tears and needs to stop for the day, everyone gets that too. And how could it not? She’s reliving the worst moment of her life. and all - it’s chapter three where things go downhill. While Carrie doesn’t seem super comfortable doing the audio recording of her book at any point - even though the two audio producers seem like real sweeties, b.o. Chapter three is the big Big moment in the book. It’s chapter three that really gets Carrie. Sometimes it’s something small (or nothing in particular, really) that triggers it, and sometimes it’s something pretty major, like having to record the audiobook version of the memoir you wrote about your husband’s death … suddenly you’re right back in the shower where you found him dying and you are just laid out by it.

I promise we’ll still have so much to giggle and snark about! We get to watch part of Che’s pilot in which Tony Danza calls them his “little cannoli,” okay? They can never take Che Pasa away from us. Oh, friends, I really hate to do this, and from the bottom of my heart I apologize for starting things off this way, but I think I need to be earnest about And Just Like That … for a second.
