Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Has a Birthday" & "Kimmy's in a Love Triangle" recap

In episodes nine and ten of the hilarious Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, we find Kimmy in a joyous mood as she's about to celebrate her 30th birthday. However, turning 30 and being an adult significantly differs from celebrating when she's 15. Plus, the two men in her life (besides Titus) will have to decide which one to date and which she can't see anymore.

"Kimmy Has a Birthday" 

Kimmy turns 30, and she hasn't had a real adult party. She's so excited to buy alcohol that she tries to buy some from a guy who has some in his van but is stopped when Titus arrives.

Complete with joy, Kimmy plans to have a fantastic party. Until her father comes, or step-father, with her sister Kymmi, who's jealous of Kimmy. Her stepfather was searching for Kimmy, but the only problem was that the man couldn't find anything or anyone. This character probably can't find the nose on his face.

Kimmy demands them to leave, but before they take off, her stepfather gives her a gift. It turned out to be a necklace of her mom with her and Kymmi's picture on it, and it had Kymmi storming out and leaving for Olive Garden.

Meanwhile, Titus figures out what to give Kimmy on her birthday. He tells her that she's written a song for her, but when he tries to come up with a song, he quits and finds a cute mummy unwrapping his costume.

As Kimmy gets ready, she has two men who want to give and be there for her: Dong and Logan. Logan gives Kimmy 30 gifts. One of the funniest scenes with them is when he calls and mentions that the iPhones are out. Just before they hang up, he tells Kimmy that they need to get the new ones before the older models fall apart, literally!

But with Dong and Logan at the party, it became a hilarious moment for the two of them. They try to fight, but no one can hit one another. Dong tries to kick him but lands through the wall, and Logan tries to boot but is stopped by Dong's hand holding the other.

Kimmy was furious and had everyone out. When Kimmy's step-dad shows up high on heroin, Kimmy figures out where Kymmi could be, and when they reach her at the Olive Garden, Kimmy tells Kymmi that she doesn't want her to hate her. She gives the necklace back to Kymmi and eats out.

When Kimmy gets back to the apartment, Titus gives Kimmy her gift, in which she has no clue of any songs before she was taken. So Titus performs the song "Fireworks."  Kimmy liked it but had some fundamental criticisms of the song. Poor Titus, but poor Katy Perry, right?


Kimmy did get an adult birthday party that had so much drama going on, but it was simply hilarious. Watching Dong and Logan fighting for Kimmy's love was just hysterical. Man, Titus indeed has some great taste in music. Also, not to mention that Kimmy and Kymmi look like they could be best friend sisters someday.

"Kimmy's in a Love Triangle" 

In this episode, Kimmy's sure in a real pickle when deciding who she wants to be in a relationship: Dong or Logan.

Logan has plans with her to meet his parents. But they end their conversation on the phone, and Kimmy tells Logan that she chose him as her boyfriend. The weird part was that he was horseback riding on a small horse, more of a phony.

In the meantime, Kimmy finds Dong but learns he's fired because the immigration people came and took everyone. Kimmy takes Dong in and has him spend the night at her place.

But all in, when Logan came to pick Kimmy up, he admitted that he was the one who called the immigration people and informed them about the illegal workers at the restaurant. Kimmy leaves Logan and finds Dong at the bus, but just before he agrees to stay, for him to survive, they'll have to get married. Yikes right?

But one of the best scenes throughout the episode was of Titus wanting to be Dr. Frankenstein at the restaurant, but when someone gets the part because he passes as straight. So Titus goes to a guy who teaches gay actors to be straight, and it turns out the guy is Dean Norris as M. La Loup, the straight coach.


It's that story in the episode that made it its best so far. I couldn't stop laughing when watching Titus learning, and going through those exercises was the best and funniest. 

I think that Kimmy and Dong could be a great couple. Heck, heck, they had a fantastic montage of Friends that they did and also the Breakfast Club as well. 

I give "Kimmy Has a Birthday" a 9/10 and "Kimmy's in a Love Triangle" a 10/10.
