Part III: Vicky Cilliers was struggling to recover her health and to come to terms with the fact that her husband, Emile Cilliers, had been arrested for attempting to murder her. In disbelief, Vicky found it hard to accept this truth. Their marriage wasn't perfect, but could he really have tried to kill her? As she cooperated with the police, uncertainty and doubt plagued her during Emile's trial, with the predatory media hovering over her. Vicky frets about the possible outcomes: "What if he is convicted? What if he isn't? What will co-parenting look like?" As the wheels of justice turned slowly, Vicky began to shed the effects of coercive control. This controlling influence gradually slipped away. **UPDATE:** Where is Vicky Cilliers today? How is this remarkable woman, mother, veteran, and survivor?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
