Carrie Gives Emotional Sendoff to Stanford
"And Just Like That" is officially saying goodbye to Stanford Blatch, the beloved character portrayed by the late Willie Garson.
In the Thursday, August 17, episode of the Max series, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) shares a Stanford update with his estranged husband, Anthony Marentino (Mario Cantone).
Stanford Finds Peace in Japan
"Stanford asked me to speak to you," Carrie said, holding up a handwritten note that she received from her longtime pal. "He's back in Japan, in Kyoto. He went to see the geishas and he's staying."

Stanford, who previously moved to Japan to be the talent manager for a young TikTok star following Garson's death, sent Carrie a message and photo to explain what he was up to. "He's a Shinto monk... he wrote, 'Carrie, for the first time in my life, I felt peace, real peace,'" Carrie explained.
Anthony's Surprise
Anthony, who married Stanford in the "Sex and the City 2" feature film, was taken aback by Carrie's revelation. "Why didn't he tell me this himself?" he asked. Carrie explained that Stanford was afraid to tell Anthony out of fear of being mocked.

Letting Go of Attachments
Carrie revealed, per the note, that Stanford had given all of his belongings, including the apartment, to Anthony. "I want no attachments. I have let go of all things that no serve me and I let it all go with love," Carrie said. Anthony expressed his surprise and remarked that Stanford could let everything go while he couldn't.
Remembering Stanford
Carrie proposed a toast to "Stanny" and when asked who would get to "keep the photo" of Stanford, Carrie proclaimed that she was "very attached" to the image of Garson's character donning a traditional Japanese robe.

Moving On for Anthony
Anthony and Stanford had separated during "And Just Like That" season 1 when Stanford moved to Asia. Anthony has since tried to move on, and season 2 introduced a new love interest in Italian poet Giuseppe (Sebastiano Pigazzi).
Remembering Willie Garson
Thursday's episode comes nearly two years after Garson died at the age of 57 in September 2021. Garson, who is survived by his son Nathen, had privately battled pancreatic cancer prior to his passing.

New episodes of "And Just Like That" drop Thursdays on Max.
