This episode asked the question, "What if this had happened?" Here's a recap!
"Sliding Van Doors" was one of the best and most special episodes as the ninth episode of season four. It asked that simple question: what if this had happened? Would things be different? It would be so, but it all comes back in the end. When Kimmy and Titus thought that they could have met each other in Indiana if Kimmy hadn't gotten in that van.
If Kimmy hadn't gotten in that van, Kimmy and Titus would have met at a movie theater and moved on their way. Kimmy goes to college but gets hit and lands in a coma until she wakes up and becomes a famous local reporter who lost her husband to their maid. She flies to New York City, and when she gets there, it doesn't turn out how she had hoped until she reunites with Titus.
After meeting with Kimmy, Titus gets to New York City but misses the audition and does the unthinkable thing: joining Scientology and becoming Tom Crusie's stunt double in his movies. He soon gets the role of a lifetime and keeps his perfect image during press screening until his fiance dumps him and has to find someone else. He finds Kimmy, and becomes partners for life until a murderer comes in to kill them.
Meanwhile, Jacquline turns upside down when she tries to find a wealthy billionaire who turns out to be Mike, the construction worker. They have five children and try to find that big break until they enter the witness protection program. Lillian, looking for a renter, turns out to be a gang leader just like that and decides to kick Jacquline and her family out to do her business.
It's such a great episode with solid character development and writing. The performance of the cast was outstanding. I couldn't get enough of this episode from start to finish. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, available now on Netflix.
