Ep 4. Halloween

Mindy Kaling stars in "The Mindy Project" as Dr. Mindy Lahiri, a young OB/GYN struggling to get her personal and professional life in order. In season 1, episode 4, titled "Halloween," Mindy is determined to have the perfect Halloween party but things don't exactly go as planned.

The episode starts off with Mindy excitedly preparing for her annual office Halloween party, complete with decorations, a costume, and a Halloween-themed playlist. She enlists the help of her co-worker Danny, who begrudgingly agrees to help her with the party planning. However, when Danny tells Mindy that they won't be able to hold the party in the office due to a scheduling conflict, Mindy is thrown into a panic.

Determined to still have the party, Mindy decides to hold it at her apartment, where she lives with her best friend Gwen. Mindy's Halloween plans quickly go awry when she realizes that she has forgotten to buy candy for the trick-or-treaters. Danny, on the other hand, has other plans for the evening and decides to bail on Mindy to go to a party with his ex-wife.

As the night goes on, Mindy's apartment becomes overrun with people she doesn't even know, and Mindy begins to feel overwhelmed. To make matters worse, someone breaks her TV, and the night quickly turns into a disaster. Mindy becomes increasingly frustrated and asks everyone to leave, but she soon realizes that she doesn't want to be alone on Halloween.

In the end, Mindy and Gwen end up having a heart-to-heart conversation about their friendship and the importance of being there for each other. Mindy also comes to the realization that it's okay if things don't go as planned and that what's important is being surrounded by the people you care about.

Overall, "Halloween" is a fun and lighthearted episode that perfectly captures the spirit of the holiday. It's a great reminder to not take things too seriously and to appreciate the people and moments in our lives that truly matter.
