Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Recap: Kimmy makes Waffles! (Season 1 Episode 13)

We’ve made it to the Season 1 finale of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: “Kimmy Makes Waffles”. And judging by what we learned that phrase meant in the last episode, hopefully things will end well for Kimmy.

Turns out, there is a tape in the safe, but it’s full of the Reverend recording complete nonsense, like karate moves and auditioning for The Apprentice, and Kimmy realizes they have nothing.

Meanwhie, Randy has wandered away from the bunker in order to try and save a cat, and isn’t paying attention or standing guard by the door. A four wheeler drives over the top, and closes the entry, locking the women back in the bunker.

Lillian goes over to Jacqueline’s to search for Kimmy, and finds her a complete mess. Without anyone to do anything for her, she is helpless, and Lillian tries to escape before Jacqueline clings to her. But it’s too late, and Jacqueline decides that they both need to go on a road trip to find Kimmy. So, they load up in the car, and head out, even though they can’t seem to figure out how to drive, or get off the island.

Finally, Jacqueline digs deep into her past, harnesses her knowledge of the Native American medicine wheel, and remembers that the sun rises in the East. With a renewed sense of direction, she and Lillian are off…again.

Using an air filter vent, the mole women find a way to escape the bunker, and head back to court.  Armed only with the tape, Kimmy starts playing it and stalling, hoping something comes to her. She bides time as it plays, until Gretchen suddenly gasps, and Kimmy realizes why: The Reverend was making a tape to audition for The Apprentice, which means he never believed the apocalypse was going to happen.  The court is outraged, and the verdict is guilty!

Lillian and Jacqueline show up right as everyone files out of the courthouse. The road trip has made Jacqueline realize she needs to go home for a bit to South Dakota, to rediscover her roots.  Kimmy waves her goodbye, and suddenly realizes she has nine missed calls. It’s Dong, and immigration found him while she was gone. He had to marry someone else. Kimmy quickly tells Titus the news, hardly believing it herself, as someone yells at Titus through the crowd.

It’s Titus’ wife.

WHAT? What a cliff hanger! I cannot wait to see how the next season plays out. Titus is married? Dong is married now too? How will Kimmy react to all this news?
