Chicago Party Aunt is a raunchy animated sitcom that follows the life of 45-year-old Diane Dunbrowski, aka the Chicago Party Aunt, as she navigates through various ups and downs of her one-of-a-kind life. In season 2 episode 4, titled Swing and a Ms., the story picks up from where it left off in the previous episode, as Diane tries to bounce back from being fired from her job by starting her own business.
The episode begins with the Aunt realizing that staring her own business is harder than she anticipated. She decides to take a break and cheer herself by participating in a swing dancing competition that she used to be a pro at. While rehearsing for the event, Diane meets an old boyfriend from her younger days, Benny. Benny is back in town for the dance competition, and they quickly rekindle their flame and start to build back their relationship.
Meanwhile, her nephew Daniel, who also happens to be her new intern, is trying to help Diane find better ways of promoting her business. He suggests that they create a viral video, starring the Aunt herself. Daniel has some interesting ideas, but they don't necessarily align with Diane's brand, so she dismisses them. Later in the episode, Daniel decides to take things into his own hands and create a video without Diane's permission. It ends up going viral, but not in the way they wanted as it portrays the Aunt in an unflattering light.
As the competition draws closer, Diane realizes that Benny is still the same old him, and their relationship may not be worth rekindling. She also learns that winning the competition is not going to be as easy as she had hoped. Diane and her partner, Harold, who is now her business partner as well, have to put in extra work to make sure they are ready for the competition.
The climax of the episode comes when Diane and Harold finally perform in the swing dancing competition. They face stiff competition from another couple who also happens to be the reigning champions. However, Diane and Harold give it their all and end up impressing the judges and the audience with their moves, taking home the grand prize. Later on, Diane takes Daniel to task for the incident with her viral video but admits that she was impressed with his creativity and is proud of him.
Swing and a Ms. is an episode that is filled with memorable moments. The swing dancing competition is the icing on the cake, but some of the episode's best moments come from the interactions between Diane, Benny, and Harold. The dialogue is witty and sharp as always, and the animation is visually stunning.
