Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Recap: Kimmy Goes to a Party! (Season 1 Episode 7)

You know with a title like “Kimmy Goes to a Party!” this episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is going to be great, and we dive back in with the Voorhees, who have been missing for a few episodes.

Jacqueline arrives back from China, husband in tow, along with a new found sense of paranoia. She can’t find anything to pin on him, but gets Kimmy to spy on a phone call of his. From what they can gather from the call, Julian is having his lover over, and throwing a dinner party to cover for it. Jacqueline knows she can catch him in the act, so she tells Kimmy to put on something special and to arrange the music for the evening.

Kimmy knows just who to hire for the musical act: Titus. Titus sees the perfect opportunity for a makeover. Using a variety of things he finds around the house, including a bathmat, a toilet chain, and a vacuum, he completely gives Kimmy the “Cinderella”. They both arrive to the party ready to make a splash!

The big surprise at the dinner party doesn’t end up being the outing of an affair, however, but a new robot that Julian’s business has been working on.

Everything sort of falls apart for the characters at this point. The man Kimmy has been flirting with all night finds out she’s not what she has been pretending to be, and her Cinderella experience comes to an end. Titus’s last song of the evening gets taken over by the robot, and Jacqueline realizes that the robot is slowing filling her roll in the house. Jacqueline and Titus do what they have to do, and try to bury the robot in the backyard, to save their marriage and career respectively, much to Julian’s horror.

But as these episodes have a way of tying themselves up neatly, the cute man, Logan Beekman, comes back to the house and figures out that Kimmy wasn’t trying to take advantage of him like he thought So, he decides he wants to start fresh. And Titus gets a job out of the evening, working in a theme restaurant. Even better, the restaurant is on Broadway, so he is more or less finally living his dream.

On top of that, Jacqueline discovers that she is indeed not crazy or paranoid, and Julian has been having an affair.  She just discovers that the affair has been with their therapist, during their therapy session.
