If you have never watched the series, start here. If you are a lapsed fan, revisit it. Listen for the clack of the keyboard. Smell the cigarette smoke. Feel the crushing weight of waiting for a callback.
The final episode on (depending on the DVD or streaming categorization; the standard Region 1 DVD includes episodes 1-4 on the first disc) is "Valley of the Twenty-Something Guys." Here, the women hit a club and realize they are the oldest people in the room.
Because in the end, the question Carrie asks on this very first disc remains unanswered: "Perhaps some cynicism is required to survive in New York. But then again, isn't that giving up?"

: Carrie and Samantha explore the pros and cons of dating younger men. Charlotte faces an uncomfortable request from her boyfriend. Episode 5: "The Power of Female Sex"
Carrie dates a 24-year-old who still uses an answering machine that beeps ("You have… no messages"). Miranda dates a guy who wants to watch Three's Company reruns instead of having sex. The episode crystallizes a universal horror of aging: When did I become the adult in the room?
