In Season 3, Carrie and Aidan navigate a shaky relationship due to Aidan's five-year ultimatum. Aidan makes surprise visits to Carrie, leading to a complex dynamic that includes glass symbolism. Carrie’s glass dining table and a shattered window represent their relationship's fragility. Aidan admits to cheating on Carrie with his ex-wife, which Carrie surprisingly accepts due to their past agreement. Fans speculate that Carrie may eventually break the dining table in frustration, symbolizing a potential breakup and emotional tipping point.
Throughout the first half of Season 3, Carrie has emphasized two particular things within her home: the glass dining table she found on 1stDibs, which she thought represented her and Aidan's relationship, and the unique glass window that Aidan accidentally shattered when he was throwing rocks at her window, completely fumbling his surprise romantic gesture.
Aidan became oddly preoccupied with fixing the glass window, which is later explained in the episode when he admits to cheating on Carrie with his ex-wife, Kathy.
Carrie takes this bombshell very well, saying she "understood" how he'd end up in that situation. In fact, she thought they were allowed to be with others during their five-year "break," meaning they needed to re-establish their boundaries.
One fan thinks Carrie will eventually get fed up with their relationship and let it out by breaking the dining table, perhaps to symbolize an actual breakup.
