And Just Like That... Season 3, Episode 12 "Party of One" Recap
We’re back to break down the And Just Like That series finale. We’re wrestling with MPK’s “this felt like the natural place to end” narrative and questioning how a Thanksgiving episode with daylight leftovers somehow passed for a send-off. We go character-by-character, breaking down Anthony and Giuseppe’s pie-in-the-face romance, LTW’s still-unfinished Michelle Obama-maybe-narrated doc, Seema’s unfinished Adam storyline, Charlotte’s hallway reveal, Miranda’s Lego-swallowing dog date, and Carrie’s Tommy Tomato solo act. Along the way, we dive into the show’s weird relationship to wealth, the wasted Samantha storylines and why a final montage of everyone alone-but-together could’ve saved it. Plus, listener homework for the upcoming post-mortem, a proposed cameo from Candace Bushnell and the fan-made alternate ending that gave us chills.
