The emotional centerpiece of the episode is, undeniably, the memorial service for Mr. Big. For ten episodes, Carrie Bradshaw has been defined by her grief, moving through the stages of denial and anger in a beige apartment that feels like a tomb. The memorial serves as a necessary exorcism. The choice to have Carrie give the eulogy—punctuated by the return of the haunting "Auld Lang Syne"—is a narrative masterstroke. It allows Carrie to reclaim her agency. She is no longer the widow left behind; she is the author of her own story, finally able to articulate the complexity of her marriage.
