Carrie & Sebastian’s Tragic Romance

A few weeks have passed since the April 1 episode (in Castlebury time), and Sebastian surprises Carrie at her house. They both apologize to each other for the mishap after the Madonna concert. They realize they never wanted to break up and reconcile with a few “I Love yous” and a hot make-out session.

Unfortunately, Carrie’s happiness is short-lived. Maggie (Katie Findlay) has a slip of the tongue and admits that Sebastian has been keeping a secret from Carrie — her dad’s been seeing a new lady friend. Carrie confronts Sebastian, but he admits to only wanting to protect her. She goes on about how maybe they’re too different to be together — she overthinks and he doesn’t think enough. Carrie calls off their date to the prom.

Following this reveal, Maggie apologizes to Sebastian for letting their secret out. He’s not having it and chooses to give Maggie a taste of her own medicine. He tells her that Walt likes boys. (More on that later.)

Walt Is Forced Out Of The Closet

Upon Sebastian leaking the news to Maggie, she bum rushes Walt at the diner and calls him a “homo!” Clearly, Maggie is not happy with the news of Walt’s homosexuality. She feels betrayed and says she’s disgusted that she ever dated him. Carrie tries defending Walt, but Maggie is too busy screaming in her face as well. Apparently, Maggie puts the blame on Carrie for keeping Walt’s sexuality a secret. (I am definitely a fan of Carrie and Walt’s friendship. I only hope they stick together in the future!)

In New York City, Walt kisses Bennet. While Bennet admits to wanting to kiss more, he tells Walt they’ll have to wait until the end of the summer when Walt turns 18. (I’ll definitely be tuning in come September for more hot Walt and Bennet action!)

A ‘Sex and the City’ Character Is Introduced

It’s during a conversation between Walt and Bennet that we hear the sweet sound of a Sex and the City character! Bennet admits that his roommate’s name is Stanford! Can you believe it?! The prequel will finally meet up with the original series! Now, that alone, is a reason to tune into season two!
