Heartwarming / Party Down

• The end of "James Ellison Funeral", when the widow finds out The token white girl at the funeral was her late husband's mistress. The duration of the episode was spent either keeping it a secret, or talking about how great of a man the deceased was, and the widow simply accepts it and goes to connect with the mistress. It's incredibly moving, considering the widow was convinced that she knew her husband well
  • She did - they had an open marriage, so she already knew he was having an affair and had no problem with it.
• "Steve Gutenberg's Birthday". It's great to see the gang get cut a break and get to relax for once, even if most of them squander the opportunity.
• Kyle ending his burgeoning friendship with a party guest after seeing him humiliate Constance.
• Ron and his intense need to hug everyone throughout the series, and the fact that he is really the only one who does so.
• In the revival, Lydia's daughter, Escapade (who was a Bratty Half-Pint in the show's second season), gets one. When the crew is catering an event for Escapade's latest movie that Lydia has themed to give her daughter a proper prom, a rival talent agent appears and Lydia is initially concerned that he was there to sign Escapade as a client over Lydia. Instead, Escapade had invited him there in attempt to set her mother up on a date, because she's concerned about the fact her mom has put her own social life on hold for so long to help her career.
