"Not On Your Wife Closing Night" was a farce in its truest sense. After the community theater, Party Down does the catering and at the same time enters their own farce, thus the episode itself becomes a farce. The episode doesn't get moving until halfway through until all hell breaks loose for a wild ride until the end. There are mistaken people, kissing, lesbians, cheating, improbable coincidences, and it all comes flying together in the final scene.
On the character front, Casey and Henry are inching closer and closer together. Last week Casey stripped off her clothes before Henry stopped her, and this week they kiss twice before Henry breaks away. Based on the episode description, Kristen Bell is showing up next week. Naked mud wrestling, anyone? I haven't been a fan of Lydia going around an gossiping, but she actually tried to engage her coworkers this week, asking Casey for advice and doing to deed with Ron.
Score: 9.0/10
