The Carrie Diaries

In the series premiere of this Sex and the City prequel, a young Carrie Bradshaw deals with high school drama while meeting Manhattan for the first time.

New couple Carrie and Sebastian can't seem to catch a break. Between being grounded and rival Donna's sneaky attempts to break them apart, Carrie worries Sebastian will lose interest in her. Desperate for some alone time with him, Carrie must lie to her father and bail on plans with her sister, Doritt. Maggie's obsession with having sex drives a wedge between her and Walt. Meanwhile, Larissa wants to do a photo shoot with Carrie's purse for Interview magazine, forcing Carrie to scramble to make it work.

After Tom forbids Carrie to see Sebastian again, Carrie snoops through Tom's work files and uncovers some alarming information about Sebastian's past. Carrie decides to confront Sebastian about what she's discovered and is shocked by his reaction. Maggie deals with her breakup with Walt in the only way she knows how and finds some solace from Dorrit. Meanwhile, Larissa takes Carrie, Mouse and Seth (recurring guest star KYLE HARRIS) to an outrageous performance art club in New York City, which leaves them all feeling self-conscious.

When Carrie is invited to a Halloween party in the city by Larissa, she decides to invite Walt to go with her to keep her company. It doesn't take long before the night goes awry and Carrie is forced to babysit Larissa, who has clearly taken too many drugs. Walt finds himself in an uncomfortable position after a party guest gets a little too close for comfort. Elsewhere, Maggie convinces Mouse to go with her to Sebastian's Halloween party at the diner to help keep tabs on him. After Doritt's attempt to sneak out of the house is thwarted, she discovers hanging out with her father isn't so bad.

Carrie runs into an old friend at her internship and gets invited to his mother's dinner soiree in Manhattan, but her feelings for Sebastian get in her way - until she see him with another girl. Mouse is excited about getting back together with Seth (recurring guest star Kyle Harris), but her worries about being bad at sex lead her to ask Walt for help. In order to hang on to a favorite spot at the diner, Maggie takes on Donna LaDonna and her friends. Meanwhile, Tom loses his wedding ring, which makes him realize that Harlan (recurring guest star Scott Cohen – Necessary Roughness) might be right about starting to date again.

Carrie gets in way over her head when she tries to cook the perfect Thanksgiving dinner for her family, her new boyfriend, George (recurring guest star Richard Kohnke), and his dad, Harlan (recurring guest star Scott Cohen), so she enlists Mouse's help. Tom is oblivious to the chaos going on in the kitchen, while Dorrit finds a new way to torture Carrie. Meanwhile, Maggie is excited to have Thanksgiving with Walt's family, but when the topic of college comes up she realizes that she hasn't put much thought into her future. Elsewhere, Sebastian learns that his mother decided to fly out of town with her boyfriend, leaving him to fend for himself on Thanksgiving.
