Carrie’s getting breakfast with her former podcast co-host, famously Smoke’s husband, Jackie. They’re eating eggs benedict at some fancy hotel and Carrie, ever the narcissist, gives him a signed copy of her book. Suddenly, Jackie gets explosive diarrhea from the hollandaise sauce and has to get up to go shit himself.

Just then, some gray-haired man sends a selfie to Carrie and she looks confused. Her former Vogue editor Enid walks by at that moment, actively (but unsuccessfully) trying to avoid Carrie. Carrie calls her over anyway and Enid sheepishly approaches and apologizes for not sending condolences when Big died. She was too distracted dealing with her own death…..her firing from Vogue. Yikes.

But don’t worry, she’s got a newsletter that’s “rivaling Goop”! Carrie says she asked Enid to blurb her book but never got a response. Awk. She then asks if she’d mention the book in her Goop-rivaling newsletter. Enid’s like, “Well if I do that for you, I’d have to do it for everyone.” Then she asks Carrie if she’d like to get involved in a new site she’s creating, Vivante, for women “their age.” Carrie bristles at the idea that she’s the same age as Enid. She gives her a yes/no non-answer and Enid excuses herself to take a call from her “beau.”
