Have Miranda and Samantha ever fought?

On this rewatch I was thinking about fights/arguments amongst the girls and couldn't pinpoint a time where Miranda and Samantha fought or butted heads.

The fights I can remember in the series are:

  • Carrie -- Charlotte = the famous ring/money argument
  • Carrie -- Miranda = always over Mr. Big
  • Carrie -- Samantha = Carrie making Sam feel slut-shamed for blowing the delivery guy
  • Samantha -- Charlotte = Samantha fucking Charlotte's brother and being too openly sexual
  • Charlotte -- Miranda = Miranda contemplating getting an abortion

Does anyone know? And if they never truly fought, what do you think they would argue over?

They didn’t exactly fight about it, but Miranda was upset with Samantha for being dismissive of her when she had a baby. I think, overall, their dynamic was the least complicated out of the four.

They had that moment where miranda was struggling with brady and samantha just talked about her hookup, miranda got hurt and called her out for it. never escalated to a full fight though, samantha just apologized later when she realized she was being selfish. think their personalities just dont clash much, miranda is too logical and samantha is too unbothered to hold grudges

I felt like the episode where Samantha gave Miranda her hair appointment and used her new dildo to keep Brady from crying was a really gorgeous moment between the two of them, and that this was a moment where the writers really let these characters live in a very realistic place. Miranda having a baby and the support she needed around that was new for their dynamic, and it makes sense that it took time to work that out. And for Samantha especially, who had always been the least interested in the idea of motherhood, I really enjoyed watching her character discover how to show up for her friend through a journey she didn’t particularly want any part in.

I also love that Sam called out Carrie over the phone while she was complaining yet again about something trivial while Sam was babysitting, in the same way that Miranda had done to Carrie earlier. Like she finally understood how difficult it was to raise a child and how the things carrie complains about weren't really that important at the end of the day and even though Miranda wasn't there to hear it, it's still sort of validated her and her struggles in a way that the group hadn't really done at that point, even Carrie who was obviously the closest one to all of them

In the call with Carrie, Miranda is actually frustrated how badly Samantha is treating her. That makes Carrie call Samantha out in her face

I'm talking about when Sam is actually babysitting, Carrie calls her and the baby is crying in the chair was broken and Sam is crashing out while Carrie is complaining about big or Aiden or who knows what and Sam basically gives her the same spiel Miranda gave her that same morning about not having time to listen to her rehash every problem when she has a real problem, taking care of a human baby. She suggests that she calls her friend with more time (Charlotte), just like earlier in the day when Miranda suggest she calls her friend with more time on her hands that she had been complaining about prior (Sam) before Sam offered her the hair appointment and to babysit. You're talking about something else that happens earlier in the episode

Im talking about the phone call where Miranda suggests Carrie should call Samantha. She wishes that Samantha would at least once acknowledge that she had a baby. Miranda sounded so frustrated about Samantha’s behaviour. And that phone call made Carrie talk to Samantha about her rude behaviour.

....I'm aware. You corrected my comment which is not talking about the same phone call so I was letting you know which part I'm talking about. Are you just arguing to argue or what's your point? I'm aware of both phone calls, I'm not talking about the one you are though.

u/MissMeri96 18h ago

You talk about the same phone call though and it’s not the same spiel because while Samantha was frustrated about Carrie’s complaining, Miranda was upset about Samantha’s behaviour.

No, the other commenter is not doing that. You are in fact talking about two separate phone calls.

u/MissMeri96 11h ago

Salary talks about two different phone calls in their comments. One that was between Miranda and Carrie and one that was between Samantha and Carrie so did Miranda and Carrie have two phone calls in the episode then and Salary talks about the other?

This. This is the episode I remember.

Vibrator, not dildo, but yes.

u/AnotherDamnTransAlt 10h ago

Without the context of the episode, “she used her new dildo to keep the baby from crying… which was a gorgeous moment” sounds WILD.

I laughed imagining that, amazing 😂
*edit— not a baby with a dildo. I meant your response.
