Ep 6. Not On Your Wife Closing Night

The Party Down catering team is back, serving up another wild and hilarious event in season two episode six, titled "Not On Your Wife Closing Night." The episode centers around the closing night of a theater show called "Not On Your Wife," which tells the story of a young girl who marries an older man for his money, only to fall in love with another man shortly after. As the show ends its run, the Party Down crew is tasked with catering the after-party for the cast and crew.

The episode kicks off with Henry (Adam Scott) feeling particularly despondent about his career as an actor. Having just landed a role on a television show, he has high hopes for the future, but is quickly reminded by his Party Down co-workers that most actors never make it big. Casey (Lizzy Caplan) tries to comfort him, reminding him that he's lucky to be working, but Henry can't shake the feeling that he's destined for failure.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team is gearing up for the "Not On Your Wife" closing night party, which is being held at the home of one of the show's producers. Roman (Martin Starr) is particularly excited for the evening, as he's hoping to reconnect with Kyle (Ryan Hansen), a former Party Down employee who has since moved on to a career in acting. Roman is convinced that Kyle is on the verge of superstardom, and is determined to use their time at the party to network and further his own career.

As the night progresses, tensions run high between the Party Down crew and the "Not On Your Wife" cast and crew. Ron (Ken Marino) finds himself drawn to the play's leading lady, Mary (Justine Bateman), and can't resist the urge to flirt with her throughout the night. Meanwhile, Casey becomes increasingly annoyed with the show's director, who is rude and dismissive towards her all evening.

Things come to a head when a group of rowdy guests crash the party, causing chaos and destruction throughout the house. The Party Down team tries to keep things under control, but their efforts are thwarted by the drunken partygoers, who seem to be having the time of their lives. In the midst of the chaos, Henry has an epiphany about his career, realizing that he may never become a famous actor, but he's still doing what he loves.

As the night draws to a close, the group reflects on the events of the evening. Roman is disappointed that he didn't get a chance to network with Kyle, but is still hopeful for his own future. Ron is left heartbroken when Mary reveals that she's married, but ultimately realizes that he's better off focusing on his own life. And Casey, while frustrated with the director's behavior, is reminded that she's lucky to be doing what she loves, even if it means dealing with difficult people from time to time.

Overall, "Not On Your Wife Closing Night" is a hilarious and entertaining episode of Party Down, filled with witty banter, wild antics, and a healthy dose of heart. Fans of the show are sure to love this latest installment, and newcomers will quickly be drawn into the world of the Party Down catering crew.
