In episodes 11 and 12 of the hilarious Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Kimmy has been summoned to testify in a court of the Mole Woman trial. She doesn't want to go, but after finding an activity to take the trail off her mind, Kimmy is in the same situation again. Will she go and testify in court?
In the episode "Kimmy Rides a Bike," Kimmy gets a letter from her hometown in India that she's been called to testify against Ravened Richard Wayne G. Wayne (played by Jon Hamm). It turns out that Kimmy doesn't want to go, and when she mentions it to Titus, all he can think of is when the trial is on and what channel he can watch it.
Much to his liking, he tries to be a good friend but goes to the library and watches the trial unfold. As Kimmy goes to see Jacqueline, they both head to the gym for a cycling class. The instructor (played by Nick Kroll) has a certain appeal with the ladies and guys in the class.
Kimmy enjoyed the class so much that she goes back for more, and it takes the thought of going back to Indiana off her mind. As Titus has been watching the trail, it's not looking good as Rev. Wayne is winning. Heck, the prosecutors aren't as good as Wayne, but they do make a cute couple.
Titus returns from the library and starts to freak out from what Wayne has said, getting all crazy and seeing the devil Lillian smoking. He comes home and sees Kimmy on the bike. Kimmy realizes that after falling on the floor, she's back in a cult.
Kimmy decides that she's going to go back to Indiana and testify. But first, she had to stop at the cycling class. The instructor is a fake who has a video screen for half his body as he is sitting on the toilet. That was a real shocker and unbelievably funny.
The episode "Kimmy Goes to Court" is one of the weirdest and most hilarious episodes yet continues the arc of Kimmy and the trial. Kimmy comes back home, and the river is now a parking lot.
As Kimmy walks into court, reporters hoover around her, asking questions. But Titus saved her as he began to ask questions if they wanted to know about the environment.
Later, he takes the attention away from Kimmy and onto himself. Titus is Kimmy's PR manager.
The trial goes on, and Kimmy is asked questions. There were simple ones, but when Wayne started asking questions, he got the whole thing to turn around on Kimmy as if she was the bad one. Kimmy had a chance to let one of the girls go out, but she backed off.
With everyone hating Kimmy, Kimmy had no idea what to do. She talks to Titus as she hasn't seen him mostly all day. After talking about it, she decides to return to the bunker and take the girls, too.
They searched the place to see what they could find, and they found where the Reverend was staying most of the time. A room full of electronic stuff powered by the crank that the girls had to work.
But then Kimmy finds curtains hiding a safe, and they've found something to turn the trail around as that will lead up to the season finale.
These two episodes were excellent and very weird, as well. I was stunned and moved by the performance of John Hamm, who played the great Reverend Wayne G. Wayne. I believe that he stole the episode.
One of the hilarious parts is when Titus is about to be interviewed by a news anchor from WTHR 13 but is too busy to notice that he's on life. He sings his heart out until he realizes he's alive and freaks out. And up it's a YouTube hit.
Overall, I give "Kimmy Rides a Bike" an 8/10 and "Kimmy Goes to Court" a 9/10.
