Three's A Crowd is the eighth episode of the first season of the HBO television series Sex and the City. It originally aried on July 26, 1998.

This episode revolves around all four of the women contemplating having a threesome for unrelated reasons. Carrie finds out that Big was married once, and that he had a threesome. She meets the ex-wife and eventually gets over her worries that she'll never be able to live up to her. Charlotte's boyfriend wants to have a threesome. When she finally goes forward with the idea, the boyfriend becomes more interested in the third woman than in Charlotte. Samantha unwittingly becomes involved with a married man, and the wife offers to have a threesome to keep the marriage together, to which Samantha declines. Miranda feels left out because she's never been "threesome material", so she responds to a classified ad to validate her sexual appeal.
