Warning: This post contains spoilers for Season 2 of "And Just Like That." The new season brings back familiar faces from "Sex and the City," including Enid Frick, who happens to be one of Carrie Bradshaw's least favorite people. While "Sex and the City" didn't have a clear primary antagonist, Enid was the closest thing to a villain in Carrie's life. Their relationship was fraught with disagreements, and Enid's return in "And Just Like That" only exacerbates this tension.
Carrie, who has resumed writing, is currently focused on releasing her latest book, which explores the death of Mr. Big and the subsequent grief she experienced. During the preparation process, she unexpectedly crosses paths with the perpetually irate Enid, a journalist from Carrie's past. Enid's return was announced prior to the premiere of "And Just Like That" Season 2, with Candice Bergen reprising her memorable role from "Sex and the City." Enid's reappearance reignites the animosity between her and Carrie, highlighting Carrie's ageism and throwing the writer into a chaotic and embarrassing predicament. Surprisingly, this situation ends up benefiting both women.
Enid's Role In Sex And The City Explained (& Why She Returns In And Just Like That Season 2)
Enid initially appeared in season 4 of Sex and the City, reprising her role in seasons 5 and 6, albeit in a limited capacity. She served as Carrie's editor during her freelance stint at Vogue. Their relationship was tumultuous, as Carrie was unaccustomed to receiving critical feedback on her writing, while Enid was known to be quite forthright. Although they weren't particularly fond of each other, Enid provided Carrie with valuable advice throughout the series. Enid's last appearance was in season 6, during which she expressed interest in being set up with a friend of Carrie's boyfriend, Aleksandr Petrovsky.
Enid makes a return in season 2 of And Just Like That, seeking Carrie's assistance in writing for her newsletter. Conversely, Carrie desires Enid to write a blurb for her book. A awkward conversation about Enid's boyfriend's private parts ultimately leads Carrie to invest $100,000 in Enid's new venture. In exchange, Enid promises to speak highly of Carrie's book to her readers. Between the conclusion of Sex and the City and the commencement of And Just Like That, Enid was ousted from Vogue and successfully launched her own newsletter called "Ask Enid." In season 2, Enid prepares for the launch of her forthcoming online magazine, Vivant.
What Enid's Return Means For Carrie's And Just Like That Season 2 Story
Carrie's storyline in season 2 of And Just Like That has primarily revolved around her dating life after the passing of Mr. Big. However, since Carrie recently lost her podcasting job, it's possible that Enid's comeback could lead to Carrie joining the staff of Vivant. Given that Carrie has already made financial contributions to Enid's online magazine, it would be logical for her to return to her journalistic roots. She could propose to Enid the idea of having her own column at the publication. Initially, it may be challenging due to the fact that Enid and Carrie are not close friends, but Enid will likely require assistance, and Carrie is already a trusted and influential voice.
