Secrets spill and true feelings are revealed in this week's The Carrie Diaries. Just when it seems things are going right for Carrie, all her secrets catch up with her and pinch her at the toes like a brand new pair of Manolo Blahniks. And what about Maggie and her secret? Can it be kept from her boyfriend Walt? Not if Donna has anything to say about it. Let the drama begin.

The Limelight Invite:
Carrie is still pretending to be going to her internship at the law firm when her dad drops her off in the city, but she really sneaks off to her new internship at Interview magazine. Apparently "Bitchy Barbara" has agreed to cover for Carrie indefinitely! Looks like "Bitchy Barbara" is out and "Bodacious Barbara" is in!? She is truly loving her internship there and can't get enough of the environment, the fashion, and even Larissa. Although she has been submerged in a pool of sparkle and fabulousness, she still can't seem to distract herself enough from thinking about Sebastian. Luckily for her, a pair of Manolo Blahniks are doing the trick. Loretta being Loretta tells Carrie the shoes are hers and she can wear them to the Limelight party coming up...the same day as Carrie's school lock-in party. She pressures Carrie into attending and demands she be there if she is going to be one of them. Umm...sure! Could the timing be any more perfect?

Carrie has Mouse and Maggie over to tell them the good news. Mouse is pretty disappointed that Carrie won't be attending the school event they've been talking about for years but understands how major it is that she is invited to a huge Manhattan party with Interview magazine. Mouse relays more good news and informs Carrie that she ran into Sebastian at school and told her that he is breaking up with Donna. Carrie is skeptical because they haven't heard anything at school so who knows if it will ever happen, especially since no one breaks up with Donna LaDonna. Sigh. Carrie is over the drama and like she says, "When one door closes, a shoebox opens."
Rewind and Fast-forward:
Earlier at school, Sebastian confronts Mouse about acting weird around him since the school dance. She uses a snarky attitude to dig at Sebastian saying Carrie and her boyfriend George are completely happy, superfluous even, just like him and Donna. Right? Well Sebastian admits that he has been trying to figure out how to break up with Donna without any drama. Mouse is excited and asks if he is breaking up with Donna to be with Carrie. He tries to play it cool and says no but we all know better. Before heading off to class Mouse let's Sebastian in on a secret, Carrie and George are totally over.

Maggie is starting to feel the weight of her guilt from cheating on Walt. He has no idea what is going on but is suspicious that something is wrong. Maggie is finally about to confess to Walt when Mouse interrupts and tells them about her run in with Sebastian. Maggie is worried now more than ever that her secret will be let out by a dumped Donna.
Sebastian decides it is best to dump Donna at the diner during their lunch break and surprisingly Donna is taking it pretty well. She plays it off as though the relationship was starting to fizzle anyway. She asks him to keep their break up a secret till after the lock-in. She says she prefers the fawning kind of attention rather than the "poor Donna" kind. Sebastian is glad that their break up is Donna drama free and even accepts the fact that Donna will tell everyone she dumped him. Oh chivalry..
Back at school, Donna approaches Walt who is helping her prepare for the lock-in. She is thrilled when she finds out he got the reel of her favorite movie, Rocky III, and starts to realize that Walt is a really thoughtful guy. Finally it dawns on her as to how she will use Maggie's secret to her advantage. Uh oh, here comes trouble!

Later that evening, Maggie and Mouse run into Sebastian at the diner while they stock up on food for the lock-in. Mouse blatantly asks why Sebastian didn't break up with Donna like he said he would. Sebastian tries to explain that it is complicated and that he is not going to the lock-in tonight because of it. Mouse won't let him get away with that answer and probes him further till he blurts out that they have broken up. So what are his future plans about Carrie? Well he was thinking about asking her to a movie - Umm...no! The girls shoot that idea down and suggest a big grand gesture. Inspired, he gives Carrie's home a call but Carrie deliberately ignores it as she is leaving for the city to go to the Limelight party. Feeling defeated, Mouse and Maggie decide to head over to the lock-in, but Sebastian isn't ready to give up. He asks the girls if they'd like to go on an adventure instead and find Bradshaw. The two are blown away by his idea and so Mouse agrees to join him.

Family friend Harlan desperately wants to get Carrie's dad laid and back into the dating scene. He asks him to a steak dinner with two fine ladies to where her dad reluctantly agrees. The dinner is going well all things considered. While Harlan goes off to bone his date in the bathroom, Carrie's dad chats up his date respectively. They both admit they had low expectations for tonight but are glad they came. Harlan and his date return to the table and are determined to keep the party going. Harlan convinces Carrie's dad to stick around for a good time, and while Carrie's dad may believe he may not be ready...he is having a good time letting loose.
Lock in Secrets, Lock out Pain:
The lock-in starts and Donna reveals to the Jens that she dumped Sebastian because things just weren't working out. She tells them that they are going to help her get a new guy she has her eye on. Hmm... could it be? Unsuspecting Walt is cornered by the Jens and is tricked into following them into the projector room. Door closed, he and Donna are alone. Donna starts by saying she has something to tell him about Maggie and hates to be the one to say it. Oh yes, of course...because this is just so hard for you. You ain't foolin' no one woman!

Maggie finally locates Walt sitting alone on a bench deep in thought. He gives Maggie the third degree and ask how many times she was with that cop. Maggie tries to tell Walt that she ended it and it will never happen again. She screwed up because she was confused and they were having problems. She never wanted to hurt him and feels awful. Walt is angry and says he doesn't care about her feelings. There is no "us" and "we" doesn't exist anymore...ever. Completely heart broken, Maggie runs for the exit. After having a slight melt down as someone came to unlock the pad lock on the door, she exits the school and repeats to herself, "There is nothing here for me anymore."

Donna finds Walt upset over by the lockers and apologizes for having to tell him about Maggie. She says she knows what it feels like because Sebastian dumped her. For once, Donna feels pain and is starting to wonder if there is something wrong with her. Walt tells her there is nothing wrong with her to where she replies there is nothing wrong with him. Walt finally makes the move and -gulp! - kisses her.

He is furious and demands Carrie go home. The fight catches Larissa's attention and the diva flocks over to protect Carrie. She tells the man to stop acting like someone's father to which he replies he is Carrie's father. Carrie asks her dad why he's even there and he angrily retorts that he is an adult that can go wherever and dance however he wants but she on the other hand cannot because she is 16 years old. That's it, secret one is out. Larissa is shocked and asks Carrie if that is true. When Carrie agrees, Larissa couldn't be happier because now she has the youngest and hippest intern ever at Interview magazine. She couldn't be happier which allows Carrie one sigh of relief. But wait, Carrie is supposed to be still interning at the law firm. Secret two is finally out. Everyone starts to get into an argument so Carrie finally does what she should have done a long time ago, tell the truth.

Carrie follows her dad to the car as he storms out of the party. He asks her if she really thought she could keep this huge other life from him and asks what happened to the girl who once looked before she jumped. She tries to explain but her dad won't hear it. He tells her to say goodbye to New York because she won't be seeing it ever again. Ouch! Did anyone else feel that tinge to the heart after hearing that statement?
Back at Limelight, Sebastian and Mouse have difficulty finding Carrie through the sea of people. They decide to give up and Mouse is frustrated that the grand gesture was an epic fail. Sebastian is still feeling good and doesn't regret coming in to the city because tomorrow Carrie will know he made the trip to find her. Mouse is impressed until she spots Sebastian's car being towed! Run!

Mouse visits Carrie's house and tells her about what happened last night with Sebastian. Carrie is taken with how romantic it was but before she can make a move with Sebastian, she wants to talk to her father who has been giving her the silent treatment. She approaches him downstairs reading the paper and she apologizes for lying and keeping secrets. She tries to tell him that last night was more than just a party. The people at Interview magazine value her because of how well she is doing. She didn't think he would understand or say yes if she had asked him and that is why she had to keep it a secret. Her dad is losing patience but Carrie continues elaborating on how much she loves her internship at Interview because of everything it has to offer her. Carrie's dad interjects and says of course she loves it because of all the parties. Hush Dad, no. The internship allows her to express herself and has made her believe she could be a writer. He doesn't believe her and claims she is only 16 so she doesn't know what she wants. Carrie replies she thinks she does and he may be able to keep her from the city and Interview, but he can't stop her from wanting it and wanting a life that is hers.
In school, Donna runs into Walt and says that things were a bit weird last night. She admits that she has always had a little crush on him, so he asks her what happens now. She gives him a big smooch and tells him that now he is her boyfriend. Ok then.
Carrie meets up with Sebastian at the diner for lunch and is finally feeling relieved that she doesn't have to hide her secrets or her feelings anymore.
