Oh Come All Ye Faithful

Synopsis
Miranda dates rising playwright Thomas John Andersen, whose only flaw is he needs to shower immediately after sex, which he blames on nun teachers; her saying sex is not sinful gets her thrown out forever. Carrie observes churches draw classy dressers, as her Mr. Big, an atheist who takes his Presbyterian mother every Sunday and won't invite Carrie along. Samantha startles telling she's in love with jazz-loving lawyer James, without having had sex; when they finally do, she can't even feel his tiny cock, she's shattered and hates herself for it. Charlotte consults psychic card layer Noanie Stein who sees no marriage for her, so she tries Santeria, where she's told that's curable for 100 dollars. When Carrie spies on them with Miranda, Big is not amused, and she grows upset when he introduces her as just a friend. Stanford invites everyone, even Skipper, to the gay disco club presentation of the new fragrance Fallen Angel and his boyfriend Allanne, the bottle designer. Carrie expresses her doubts when Big comes pick her up for a holiday trip, resulting in her breaking up with him.
