Not urgent, but just popped into my head. I recall there was an episode late in the series where Carrie talks to an old woman in a diner, who tells her that when she was young she broke off a relationship because she thought someone better would come along, and it turned out no-one ever did afterwards.

Anyone remember which episode this is?

(less than 30 minutes between question and answer, the SDMB comes through again)

Excellent! Did you remember off the top of your head?  
I’ll grab my SATC DVDs later today. Thanks, this was bugging me for quite a while.
