And Just Like That Season 2 Episode 5 Review: Trick or Treat
And Just Like That Season 2 Episode 5 gets out of the repetitive grief loop and blinding Che-romance. There is something new for all the characters and, it’s finally good to see some growth.
In the fifth episode, we see all the girls get going to grab some good dick or good time. Carrie, for starters, is not weeping in this one! She meets an app designer named George that gets her interested and invested. However, how long it lasts is an epic Carrie-specific time. But, we have our boss babe Seema do the Samantha Jones-like bidding in this episode with a penis-pump man.
Lisa and Nya don’t sit back on this one either as they leave a party to get that man that will round them up sweet. Meanwhile, Charlotte is well settled in hers and is giving us all the adorable cute-couple vibes with Harry. In fact, this episode even gives us a Rock-specific moment that echoes the old Charlotte’s vibe and path.

The intense moment of And Just Like That Season 2 Episode 5, of course, comes from Miranda and Che’s part of the story. Sadly (or, fortunately?), Che and Miranda go through a whirlwind of things that lead them to part ways. The break isn’t tragic for the audience but, for the characters, it really feels like a canon event that is not reconcilable.
And Just Like That Season 2 Episode 5: Final Thoughts
Well, And Just Like That Season 2 is finally doing a little better in terms of storytelling. We have more empowerment-like growth in characters and less stupidity. It is not yet able to replicate the charisma that the OG show was known for but, at least with this episode we can say that it is trying to.
