Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Competition is the word of the day as Ron competes for a job at the head office, Casey for best all around at the events and Roman and Kyle compete with Val Halla catering.
Our Take
A rare episode where almost everyone gets something to chase, and the office park setting somehow brings out the best in the cast. Ron’s desperation has never been funnier or sadder, and the rival catering crew gives Roman a worthy target for his sneering. It’s slight, but the jokes land at a higher rate than usual, and the Casey material finally gives Lizzy Caplan room to work.
