      In this episode, Miranda dates "the angry guy" and his name is Kevin. Fast forward to Season 3 episode 6 where she gets chlamydia and has to call all her past boyfriends to tell them. She calls him and he picks up and quotes his name as David.

    The one where Samantha is motivated to pleasure herself by the sounds and actions of her neighbors!
    This "SATC" episode from season 2 which is rightfully and raunchily titled "The F--- Buddy" is a lesson that goes to show using someone for sex just doesn't work into a meaningful relationship! Here we see the gal pals playing the field just trying to prove that it seems they are just dating the same people over and over again. So each decide to spice it up with new excitement as Carrie just fresh from a break up with Mr. Big tries to make an honest way of love with an old buddy yet it proves just to be for sex. Charlotte messes up by over-booking dates, and Miranda dumps her angry attorney boyfriend proving even if sex is good if you don't have nothing in common it doesn't work. And finally in Samantha's cozy apartment she overhears her neighbors love making sounds and moans thru her wall and this motivates Samantha to pleasure herself! Now she considers engaging in a threesome with them, but once she views the couple her mind changes. This proves you can't get satisfaction off of other peoples pleasures. Very memorable also is the scene of Kim Cattrall's Samantha lying on her bed listening to the love making sounds thru her wall in that sexy and silk flowered orange colored bra. Overall good episode that proves the lesson that using a buddy just for sex and pleasure usually ends because if nothing is found to be in common it's hopeless to lead to any love or satisfaction.
