This episode in season six tackles the constant power struggle between single women and their friends with children. Carrie's prized Manolo shoes go missing at her friend's party, prompting her to ask the hostess to replace them. An argument ensues due to the high expense of the shoes, but Carrie holds her ground and refuses to be punished for being a child-free woman. Since she has spent hundreds on her friends' wedding and baby shower gifts over the years, it's time for the universe to give back to her. It's an episode that still holds up perfectly.
