"The Monogamists" is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls under the genre of a scripted drama, focusing on the interpersonal dynamics of a small group of friends. The format is concise, delivering its story within the confines of one instalment rather than a longer series. In this episode, Carrie and Samantha find themselves weighing the idea of entering monogamous relationships. Both women discuss the possibilities and challenges that such a commitment might bring, questioning whether they are ready to settle into exclusive partnerships. Meanwhile, Miranda's storyline diverges as she begins to exhibit a possessive attitude toward Skipper, showing a growing need to keep him close and under her control. The narrative juxtaposes the two couples of thought: on one side, the tentative contemplation of monogamy by Carrie and Samantha, and on the other, Miranda's increasingly protective stance over Skipper. These parallel threads highlight contrasting approaches to intimacy and ownership within the same social circle. By the episode’s end, each character’s perspective has been laid bare, offering viewers a snapshot of how desire, fear, and affection can shape the choices people make about love and companionship.
