Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte are back in the second episode of Sex and the City, titled "Models and Mortals." This time, the ladies tackle the topic of men and their fascination with models.

Carrie is still reeling from her breakup with Mr. Big and decides to jump back into the dating game by going out with a modelizing guy named Barkley. As they go on a date, Barkley reveals that he only dates models because they're "like a higher species." This comment doesn't sit well with Carrie, and it prompts her to examine how men see the women they date.

Meanwhile, Samantha delivers a blow to a young model's self-esteem when she advises her to get plastic surgery to enhance her breast size. The model takes the advice to heart and ends up with unsatisfactory results which, in turn, makes Samantha feel guilty about her role in the situation.

On the other hand, Miranda tries to find love with a regular guy, Steve, who works in a bar. She's initially dismissive of him, but he wins her over with his endearing personality. Things are going well until Steve's ex-girlfriend shows up, causing Miranda to doubt whether she's good enough for him.

Charlotte, who works in an art gallery, tries to land a big-name artist for her gallery's upcoming show. However, the artist only seems interested in her physically, which brings up the issue of men only seeing women as objects.

The episode takes a lighthearted approach to the theme of men's fascination with models, but it also tackles deeper issues like self-esteem, body image, and whether women are seen as individuals or just objects. The four leading ladies are the perfect vehicle to explore these issues, as they each have their own perspectives on dating and relationships.

Overall, "Models and Mortals" is a relatable episode that will strike a chord with anyone who has ever felt insecure about their appearance or felt like they were just being objectified by men. It's also a great continuation of the show's exploration of dating and relationships in the modern world.
