Kimmy Schmidt has been one of the most unique and captivating shows on television since it premiered on Netflix in 2015. The show revolves around the titular character, Kimmy, who was kidnapped as a teenager and kept in an underground bunker for 15 years by a doomsday cult leader. After being rescued, she ventures out into the world and tries to adjust to life as an adult.
Season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has been an emotional rollercoaster for both Kimmy and the viewers. The season began with Kimmy trying to move on from her past and put the traumatic experiences behind her. As the season progressed, however, she began to realize that she could never truly escape her past, and that it would always be a part of her.
In the final episode of season 2, titled "Kimmy Finds Her Mom!", Kimmy embarks on a journey to find her mother, who she was separated from as a child. Throughout the series, Kimmy has had a strained relationship with her mother, and has been searching for her for years.
The episode opens with Kimmy visiting a private investigator to try and get some information on her mother's whereabouts. She is initially skeptical of the investigator's abilities, but he eventually points her in the direction of a woman who he believes could be Kimmy's mother.
Kimmy goes to visit the woman, who is understandably skeptical of her claims. Kimmy tries to convince her that they are related, and even shows her some childhood photos that she's held onto. The woman is hesitant to believe her, but eventually reveals that she did give up a baby for adoption many years ago.
Kimmy is overjoyed at the prospect of finally finding her mother, but the woman tells her that it's not that simple. She explains that she was in a difficult situation at the time, and that she had to give up the baby in order to give her a better life. She fears that if she were to reconnect with Kimmy now, it would only bring back painful memories and make things more difficult for both of them.
Kimmy is understandably heartbroken by this news, but she's not willing to give up that easily. She decides to track down her mother's ex-husband, who might have more information on her whereabouts. With the help of her friends, Titus and Lillian, she manages to track him down and pays him a visit.
The ex-husband is initially cold and dismissive of Kimmy's claims, but she manages to charm him by tapping into their shared love of music. He eventually reveals that he knows where Kimmy's mother is, and gives her the address.
Kimmy races to her mother's house, but finds that it's been abandoned for years. She's devastated at the thought of coming so close to finding her mother, only to have it end in disappointment. As she's about to leave, however, a neighbor informs her that her mother has actually moved to a retirement community.
Kimmy rushes to the retirement home, and is overjoyed to finally be reunited with her mother. The two women embrace and a flood of emotions come pouring out. They discuss their past, and Kimmy's mother apologizes for what happened all those years ago. She explains that she never stopped thinking about Kimmy, and that she just didn't know how to reconnect with her.
The episode ends on a hopeful note, with Kimmy and her mother beginning to rebuild their relationship. It's a fitting end to a season that has been all about the importance of family and connection. While Kimmy may never truly be able to escape her past, she's finally found a sliver of happiness and closure in the form of her long-lost mother.
