Top 10 Samantha Episodes in Sex and the City You Can’t Miss

BBG News

In the popular TV series, Sex and the City, while Carrie Bradshaw, portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker, may have been the lead character, numerous viewers often contend that Samantha Jones, brilliantly played by Kim Cattrall with an unforgettable energy, was actually the soul of the show.

When it became known that Cattrall, who apparently had issues with Parker, chose not to reprise her character in the SATC revival series, And Just Like That…, fans of Samantha were naturally disheartened. A fleeting appearance by Samantha in the Season 2 finale provided some resolution to her storyline, but it also served as a hint of what might have been if the two SATC actresses had been able to reconcile their reported off-screen disagreements.

In Season 3 of “AJLT“, Samantha might be absent, but don’t worry, you can always revisit the original series instead. Here are the top 10 episodes featuring Samantha from “Sex and the City‘s” six fantastic seasons.

10. “An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)” (Season 6, Episode 19)

When Samantha is invited to talk at a charity event for breast cancer, she initially intends to deliver a standard speech focusing on how any woman could symbolize breast cancer. However, following an unexpected hot flash during chemotherapy that leaves her drenched and stumbling over her words on stage, Samantha discards her wig and delivers a heartfelt, uncensored account of the genuine hardships faced by cancer patients. This impromptu, colorful speech incites a standing ovation and encourages numerous women in attendance to take off their own wigs.

9. “All or Nothing” (Season 3, Episode 10)

When Carrie confesses about her affair with a newly wed Mr. Big, Samantha stands by her side, being her genuine, non-judgmental self, stating that she doesn’t do shame. Despite spending most of the episode bemoaning her solitary state after contracting the flu, by the end, she recovers from her fever-induced confusion and resumes her enthusiasm for enjoying life to the fullest – a lifestyle which, according to Samantha, does not involve marriage.

8. “Easy Come, Easy Go” (Season 3, Episode 9)

In my case, while Carrie was seemingly lost in the whirlwind of Big’s complexities, I found myself navigating a dating conundrum of my own: getting involved with a man whose, let’s just say, unique flavor palate in that department was quite noticeable during our brunch outing. I tried subtly suggesting dietary changes for his benefit, but when I confronted him about the situation, I received some typical male chauvinism. My response? If he gives it a taste himself, I’ll cease my complaints. As they say, fair game, right?

7. “Luck Be an Old Lady” (Season 5, Episode 3)

In a departure from her usual self-assured demeanor, Samantha finds herself filled with apprehension during a getaway with hotel mogul Richard Wright, who had been unfaithful in the past. Instead of enjoying their celebratory weekend in Atlantic City, she worries about his potential infidelity again. This fear escalates to the point where she chases him up 11 flights of stairs wearing only a pearl thong, trying to catch him in the act. It becomes evident that her relationship with Richard is dimming her radiance. When Richard, who is innocent this time, tries to reassure her by expressing his love for her, Samantha makes it clear she values herself more, saying, “I love you too, Richard, but I love me more.

6. “The Baby Shower” (Season 1, Episode 10)

At a baby shower, which some might call “an infernal experience only your dearest friends can subject you to,” Samantha swiftly defends Charlotte after learning that the expectant mother had taken Charlotte’s chosen baby name without hesitation and declares, “You’re being rude!” This revelation enraged her. Later, Samantha decides to host an “I don’t have a baby” party as a way of emphasizing her individuality and flamboyance, showcasing early on her tendency to fearlessly live life according to her own rules.

5. “The Ick Factor” (Season 6, Episode 14)

Samantha has always adored her physique, often saying, “My legs are marvelous, I’ve got a killer stomach, my bottom is flawless.” However, her perspective changes when she decides to undergo breast augmentation following a series of magazine photos. Unfortunately, the operation doesn’t go as intended, as the doctor discovers a cancerous lump. On her way to Miranda’s wedding, Samantha takes an unexpected detour of 100 blocks to pick up Carrie. This is so she can deliver the difficult news in a manner that won’t overshadow Miranda’s special day. Eventually, the truth emerges at the reception, but Samantha manages to stay strong for her friends. The incident even makes her question her decision to modify her body surgically. “I know I’ll be alright,” she says. “It’s just, I don’t want to lose my breasts. They’re fantastic.

4. “Just Say Yes” (Season 4, Episode 12)

Following the discovery that Aidan intends to propose with a pear-shaped diamond ring, Carrie reacts by getting sick. Samantha then offers her unsentimental opinion, “The wrong ring, the wrong man.” However, despite her own reservations about marriage, Samantha demonstrates the strength of their friendship when she admits to helping Aidan find another ring that would appeal to Carrie and encourage a ‘yes’. In her characteristic bluntness, Samantha expresses this as, “If you’re going to mess up our lives, I might as well enjoy some good jewelry.

3. “Critical Condition” (Season 5, Episode 6)

Initially unsympathetic towards Miranda’s struggles with new motherhood, Samantha changes her tune once Carrie points out her insensitivity. In true Samantha fashion, she supports Miranda by babysitting during a crucial hair appointment at the John Mandee Salon and promptly fixing baby Brady’s oscillating chair when it malfunctions. Despite calling the baby an “asshole” on occasion, this is one of her most considerate actions.

2. “Anchors Away” (Season 5, Episode 1)

After learning that Richard was unfaithful to her, Samantha decided to post fliers around his neighborhood with his picture and labels like “CHEATER!” and “LIAR!!”. When a police officer stopped her for vandalizing public property, she told the officer about Richard’s infidelity, which earned her sympathy from the officer. Although Samantha eventually reconciled briefly with Richard, this incident demonstrated that she is not someone to be taken lightly – especially since an earlier confrontation in the episode had already resulted in him getting a drink thrown in his face and one of Sam’s famous lines: “Dirty martini, dirty bastard.

1. “Cover Girl” (Season 5, Episode 4)

Season 5 of “Sex and the City” showcases a remarkable stretch of episodes for Samantha, but in our viewpoint, the episode titled “Cover Girl” stands out as her best, not just for the season, but possibly for the entire series. In this episode, after Samantha offers her PR services to Carrie at a bargain price, Carrie arrives at Samantha’s office only to find her engaging in an unexpected service with the World Wide Express delivery man. When Samantha tries to joke about Carrie walking in on her, Carrie (remember she’s a sex columnist) finds it hard to hide her disgust. Despite the fact that Carrie usually turns to Samantha for understanding and non-judgmental support during difficult times, this incident leads to a heated argument between the two friends. In defense of her casual attitude towards sex, Samantha delivers one of her most powerful statements: “I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever I want and sleep with whomever I choose as long as I can breathe and walk!
