On Thursday's episode of HBO Max's And Just Like That..., many situations escalated quickly. Spoilers ahead.

First, Carrie Bradshaw went from having a sore back to need full on hip surgery within the first few minutes of the show. The girls come to her rescue, taking shifts to make sure Carrie has the support she needs in recovery—sometimes literal support to get to the bathroom.

Throughout Carrie's healing process, Miranda grows closer with Carrie's podcast partner, Che Diaz, who she goes on an accidental date with in the hospital cafeteria and then welcomes into Carrie's home while the invalid is sleeping. There, several plot threads come to a head: Miranda over indulges in tequila shots, Miranda and Che end up having very loud sex in the kitchen, and Carrie ends up peeing the bed.

Though the flirtation was hinted at in earlier episodes of the season, fans were still shocked, delighted or horrified to see that Miranda and Che actually got physical.

Some were thrilled:

Some were really surprised that Miranda Hobbes was suddenly queer, having rejected the idea that she might be interested in women in the original series. They wondered if the new storyline was more related to Cynthia Nixon's life than a realistic portrayal of the character.

And a few wondered how Miranda could cheat on her husband Steve after his similar betrayal hurt her so much in the SATC movie. Not to mention Carrie was being a little judgmental of cheating considering her history with Big.

But the answer to their questions might be in the convo that carrie and Miranda have afterwards, when the latter realizes just how bad she has messed up.

“I'm unhappy. I'm unhappy,” Miranda tells Carrie. “I'm trapped. I hate my marriage. I hate it. I hate my life. I hate it.”

“Since when?” Carrie asks her friend.

“Since forever,” Miranda says.

Che or no Che, Miranda has a lot of stuff to work out.
