Warning: This post contains spoilers for And Just Like That… Season 3, Episode 2, “The Rat Race”.Aidan’s return came early in And Just Like That…, and showrunner Michael Patrick King has a good reason for it. A sequel to Sex and the City, the show was intended to be a simple miniseries but quickly earned a renewal after season 1. Sarah Jessica Parker serves as the show’s lead, Carrie Bradshaw, who remains infatuated with John Corbett’s Aidan Shaw. After And Just Like That… season 2 ended with Aidan returning to Virginia to look after his son Wyatt (Logan Souza), it seemed that it would be another five years before they could reunite, but Aidan returned early.
