When a Man Leaves a Woman

what happens

Kevin realizes that he is bored with his inhibited girlfriend, Nancy, and agonizes over how to end the relationship. When he tries, Nancy misinterprets him and becomes even more serious about him. Matt's advice is of no use, and Carrie is upset because Nancy is her friend. Finally, Kevin gently reveals his true feelings to Nancy, who overreacts. Carrie appreciates that Kevin is sensitive and unwilling to be cruel. Meanwhile, knowing how much Mary-Kate loved horseback riding when her mother was alive, Carrie invites her to come on Carrie's weekly ride. Mary-Kate declines, puzzling Kevin. But Carrie finds out that Mary-Kate secretly visits the stables every day. Mary-Kate admits to Kevin that she doesn't want to remind him of his wife, and he assures her it's okay because it is a good memory. Also, Ashley gets into trouble when she secretly orders a handbag over the Internet using Kevin's credit card.
