The Party Down catering crew is back for another eventful episode - Joel Munt's Big Deal Party. As the title suggests, this episode centers around Joel Munt, a successful businessman who is throwing a lavish party to celebrate his latest business deal. However, the Party Down team soon realizes that Joel's party isn't exactly what it seems.

The episode opens with Ron and Henry setting up for the party while discussing their aspirations. Henry dreams of becoming an actor, while Ron plans to open his own Soup'r Crackers franchise. As they work, they notice that their fellow caterers, Casey and Kyle, are nowhere to be found. Eventually, Casey arrives, flustered and frantic, revealing that Kyle has left her stranded in a parking lot. This sets the tone for the rest of the episode - chaos, mishaps, and unexpected twists.

As the party begins, the team is introduced to Joel Munt, played by guest star Steve Guttenberg. Joel is an eccentric and flamboyant businessman who seems more interested in showing off his wealth and success than actually celebrating his deal. He repeatedly interrupts the Party Down team's work to highlight his various possessions - a private jet, a diamond-encrusted watch, and even a rare Faberge egg.

Meanwhile, Roman is tasked with entertaining Joel's daughter, Mia, who is unimpressed by her father's antics and seems more interested in Roman's writing aspirations. Roman attempts to impress Mia with his poetic and artistic talent, but his efforts fall flat as she shows more interest in his handsome coworker, Kyle, who finally shows up at the party.

As the night goes on, the Party Down crew begins to realize that Joel's deal might not be as legitimate as it seems. Casey overhears Joel on the phone, discussing a sketchy business agreement, while Henry discovers a document that suggests the deal may be fraudulent. Ron, who has been schmoozing with Joel, also begins to suspect that something is amiss.

To complicate things further, Joel's ex-wife shows up at the party, causing a scene and revealing that Joel has a history of shady business practices. As the night devolves into chaos, the Party Down team must navigate the various drama and try to salvage the party.

Overall, Joel Munt's Big Deal Party is a fun and engaging episode of Party Down. Guest star Steve Guttenberg delivers a delightfully over-the-top performance as Joel, and the Party Down team's antics keep viewers entertained from start to finish. While the plot may be somewhat predictable, the charm and humor of the characters and the sharp writing make this episode a standout in the series.
