Party Down. Season 2, Episode 8. "Joel Munt's Big Deal Party" Paul Scheer

Two changes to the status quo, but - otherwise - it's business as usual at Party Down.

Henry is back with Casey and, for this episode at least, they are both very happy. Happy and playful. And cute. And I love it, but I fear for it's lasting success. Especially as there are two episodes left in the season and this is a not a show where anyone gets a happy ending.

Ron is back in charge. This is a very welcome change in the status quo. Actually, it's a return to the (original) status was Ron was also the boss back in Season One. And it's a good fit for him. He's a natural (bad) boss (tv character). This season two story arc has done wonders to expand and deepen the character, but - at heart - he works best as the one in charge.

Aside from all these changes, it's a typical episode. Lydia gets high (Megan Mullally) while Kyle & Roman work together to get revenge on an enemy of Roman's who is hosting the party. This storyline leads to many comic moments and great lines: "I never would have come to Hollywood if I'd know I would be lied to."
