Caroline in the City season 2 episode 2, titled "Caroline And The Letter," follows the life of Caroline Duffy, a cartoonist living in New York City. In this episode, Caroline receives a letter from Paris that changes her life forever. The episode starts with Caroline and Richard discussing her latest cartoon strip. Caroline is eager to show him the original artwork and suggests that they get drinks, but Richard mentions he has something to do and leaves abruptly.
Caroline goes to her mailbox to pick up her mail and finds a letter from a man named Gilles in Paris. She is taken aback by the letter and doesn't know what to make of it. She goes to her friend and business partner Annie, who is also from Paris, for advice. Annie tells her that the letter is a love letter and Gilles is a man from her past who she had a fling with when she was in Paris years ago.
Caroline is excited by the prospect of being pursued by someone from her past and decides to write back to Gilles. She spends hours penning the perfect letter, trying to balance her excitement with her reservations. At the same time, she's dealing with her own struggles with love as she sees her ex-boyfriend Del. The two of them start talking, and Caroline is reminded of why they broke up.
Meanwhile, Richard is upset that Caroline is spending so much time writing her letter to Gilles. He feels neglected and forgotten. He confides in Charlie, his best friend from college, about his feelings. Charlie is more of a "man's man" and is sympathetic but doesn't have too much advice to give.
Caroline finally sends her letter and is thrilled to get a response back from Gilles. She reads his letter out loud to Richard, but he can sense that she's still distracted. He confronts her about it, and they have a real heart-to-heart talk about their relationship. Caroline realizes that she has been neglecting Richard and decides to put more effort into their relationship.
Caroline continues to correspond with Gilles, and their letters become more and more intimate. She confides in her friend and editor, Remo, about her feelings for Gilles and her growing dissatisfaction with Richard. Remo is supportive of Caroline and encourages her to follow her heart.
In the end, Caroline has to make a choice between Richard and Gilles. She decides to go to Paris to meet Gilles in person and see if their connection is as strong in real life as it is in their letters. Meanwhile, Richard is left wondering if Caroline will come back to him or if he's lost her forever.
"Caroline And The Letter" is a romantic, heartwarming episode that explores the complexities of love and relationships. It's a reminder that sometimes the path to true love is filled with twists and turns, and that often the things that we think we want aren't necessarily the things that will make us happy in the long run.
