Lillian should have a serious run-in with the law
Lillian Kaushtupper is the wackiest character on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. She’s like Seinfeld’s Kramer on bath salts (no seriously, she might be on bath salts) and that’s exactly why audiences love her. She’s a tough ol’ broad from New York, who’s against the establishment and hates gentrification and hipsters more than anything.
Lillian has mentioned drug dealing in the past, and she definitely has connections to local gangs. She’s a questionable landlord to Kimmy and Titus, and the jury is still out on whether their apartment is legal or not. But she has actually proven to be a good friend to the two of them, maybe even a mother figure. Not a great mother figure, but a mother figure none the less!
We think the best thing for Lillian after last season’s love affair with businessman Artie Goodman, who headed to Europe to live life to the fullest before his passing, would be to get back to her petty crime roots. Lillian needs to stir up some major trouble in the neighborhood and end up in trouble with the law. She’s a true gangster, and a true gangster isn’t afraid of a little jail time.
Obviously, Lillian doesn’t have much money, and her two tenants don’t seem to be paying very much rent (though with Kimmy’s new start-up job, maybe that’ll change), so a return to the life of crime would be perfect for her. You can’t keep Lillian Kaushtupper down, and if the series is going to be ending this season, what better way to send her off than with a dramatic exit.
We would hate for anything serious to happen to Lillian, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is not the type of show to kill off characters for an emotional farewell. But this tough gal needs to end the series in style. We think some kind of heist or being on the run from the law would be the way to do it.
