Ep 7. Party Down Company Picnic

The party planning crew of Party Down is back in the second season of the popular comedy series, and in episode 7, they're gearing up for their biggest event yet: the company picnic. With tensions running high and personalities clashing, the team must work together to pull off a successful celebration for their clients.

As the episode opens, we see the Party Down team gathered in a park, surrounded by picnic tables and balloons. Ron (played by Ken Marino) is dressed in a ridiculous costume, tasked with playing the role of the company mascot for the picnic. Henry (Adam Scott) is trying to keep things professional, but Casey (Lizzy Caplan) is distracted by a handsome new employee from the company they're hosting the picnic for.

As they begin setting up for the event, we see tensions mounting between the team members. Roman (Martin Starr) is annoyed at having to handle the grill, while Kyle (Ryan Hansen) is more interested in flirting with the company's interns than helping out. When Ron disappears to get drunk and Casey disappears to spend time with her crush, things start to unravel even further.

Despite all the chaos, the party gets off to a relatively good start. The company employees arrive and seem to be having a good time, thanks in part to Roman's surprisingly good grilling skills and Kyle's charming schmoozing. However, things take a turn for the worse when one of the employees accidentally spills a drink on Ron's costume, causing him to freak out and shout at the man.

As the day goes on, tensions continue to rise. Casey and her crush are caught making out in the company's supply closet, leading to a confrontation with Henry. Meanwhile, Ron's mood swings lead him to go from being belligerent to being weepy and emotional. Roman and Kyle, tasked with leading a team-building exercise, botch it completely and end up getting into a fight. By the end of the day, everyone is exhausted and frustrated.

Despite all the mishaps, the party turns out to be a success in the end. The company employees seem to be having a good time, and the Party Down team is able to pack up and head home. However, it's clear that there are still unresolved tensions between the team members, and it remains to be seen how they'll be able to work together in the future.

Overall, Party Down season 2 episode 7 is a hilarious and chaotic look at what goes into planning a company picnic. With a talented cast and sharp writing, the show continues to be a must-watch for fans of comedy and workplace dramas alike.
