Plot[edit]
The episode begins where the previous one left off: Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper), Cyndee Pokorny (Sara Chase), and Donna Maria Nuñez (Sol Miranda) have found something shocking in a hidden safe within the private room of Reverend Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm), the man who kept them and Gretchen Chalker (Lauren Adams) captive for fifteen years. The camera reveals that they have found a cassette tape. They put it into a television next to the safe, hoping to find some evidence that he is guilty. However, it is just a demo reel of him being a DJ, doing karate, and auditioning to be on The Apprentice. Knowing that she can't prove anything, Kimmy takes the other two women back to the main hall to meet back up with Gretchen, still turning the crank that was revealed to be the power source for the Reverend's private room. Kimmy's stepfather, Randy (Tim Blake Nelson), is still outside trying to get the mayor's cat down from the tree as a way to get back on the police force. As three of the four women were in the Reverend's office, they did not hear Randy's warning and are shocked when the door shuts and automatically locks because a motorcyclist rides over the top. As they realize that they are trapped, they all begin to argue. Finally, Donna Maria yells at them in English, revealing that she learned the language after two years of being in the bunker. When Kimmy asks why she did not testify in English, she explains that she has so speak Spanish as part of her mole sauce brand. Cyndee finds her diary and reads an excerpt from when Kimmy found a rat in the air filter and stood up to the reverend and Kimmy realizes that they can escape through the filter and still catch the trial. Kimmy, Donna Maria, and Cyndee all stand on each other's shoulders but are not tall enough to reach the grate at the top of the filter. Realizing that they need Gretchen's help, Kimmy promises to join the Reverend's cult forever if he goes free. Gretchen accepts and Cyndee gets her hand through the vent. A fireman rescues Randy and the four women are set free once again.
Meanwhile, in New York, Kimmy's employer Jaqueline White (Jane Krakowski) wakes up early in the morning where she is visited by Kimmy's landlady Lillian Kaushtupper (Carol Kane). Since Titus and Kimmy left without telling Lillian their plan, she assumed that Kimmy had been at Jaqueline's house the whole time. Jaqueline tells Lillian Kimmy's true identity and Lillian vows to go to Indiana to support Kimmy. Jaqueline, realizing that a road trip could be what she needs to find out who she is, agrees to come along. After the both go into the backseat, Lillian asks Jaqueline to drive. Jaqueline has a flashback to being a teenager in South Dakota with her parents Virgil (Gil Birmingham) and Fern White (Sheri Foster Blake). She remembers receiving the keys to her father's tractor on her birthday but turning it down because it was not a car. Back in the present, Jaqueline agrees to drive but they are quickly lost after she smashed the GPS. As she is standing outside her car, she sees the logo on her Mercedes-Benz and has a second flashback to her father informing her on the medicine wheel. In the present, she realizes that they are just going the wrong way and they quickly get back on the road. As they are stopped at a gas station, a high school band with the mascot of a Native American arrive and Jaqueline, with the help of a rivaling school band, beat them up while howling towards the sky.
When the four women arrive at the courthouse where the trial of the Reverend is taking place, Kimmy places the cassette in a television screen and submits it as evidence. Though everyone, including the prosecutors Marcia Clark (Tina Fey) and Chris Darden (Jerry Minor), is skeptical of Kimmy, she soon sees that he filmed his audition for the next season of The Apprentice on June 5, 2006. She asks him why he would film an audition for an upcoming season of a television show if he believed the world was ending and he is left speechless. The jury finds him guilty, Marcia and Chris celebrate their win, and Jaqueline and Lillian arrive at the courthouse just in time to see Kimmy. Jaqueline tells Kimmy that she plans to go back to South Dakota so that she can be with family and find out who she is. She takes out color contacts, not realizing that they are prescription. On accident, she drives away in a police car, thinking that it is hers. Just as Kimmy is celebrating the win, she sees that she has many missed phone calls from her friend Dong Nguyen (Ki Hong Lee) who she had recently began dating. She calls him back and he informs her that he is getting married to another friend of Kimmy's named Sonja (Suzan Perry) so that he can get his green card, an idea Kimmy had not agreed to. Kimmy's roommate Titus Andromedon (Titus Burgess) also receives bad news as he is called out by his wife Vonda (Pernell Walker), asking where he has been since their marriage in the late 1990s. Titus sees Walter Bankston (Mike Britt), a man who informed him on the dangers of going viral online, tip his hat and walk away.
