It's Party Time on HBO's 'Togetherness'

Mary Steenbergen and Mark Duplass hang out in a teepee on "Togetherness."

Fans of the quirky Duplass Brothers (they directed Jeff, Who Lives at Home and Cyrus) can now watch them on HBO on the series, Togetherness. The latest episode ("Party Time") features Mark Duplass, as Brett, getting high on mushroom tea.

In Brett's mind, his marriage to Michelle (Melanie Lynskey) is not going well. So rather than stay home and participate in a day party she's throwing, he heads over to a party at his friend Linda'a house. It's an old-fashioned psychedelic bash, complete with sitar music, tents and a teepee, and the aforementioned mushroom tea. He takes a sip and has a mild freakout, which Linda (Mary Steenburgen) manages to chill out. Upon returning home, Brett's painfully honest with Michelle, who doesn't quite know what's happening to their relationship. Perhaps if they drank the tea together, they could find a common ground, but instead he secludes himself in the bedroom and reads Dune.

Watch Togetherness on Sundays at 10:30 pm ET on HBO.
