This Week On Entourage:
Turtle watches on in pain as Drama and Jamie-Lynn kiss on-screen for the Five Towns episode. Eric joins the gang and tells them about his slip-up of calling Ashley “Sloan” the night before.
Drama advises him to continue lying, and Turtle heads off to his first day as a UCLA college student.
Meanwhile, Ari finally makes amends with his wife, but experiences a huge problem at work when Marlo storms through the agency yelling and screaming like a demon to find Andrew’s “whore.”
Eric drops by Ashley’s place and apologizes again for the mistake. When she becomes skeptical, he promises to never lie to her again.
After Drama and Jamie finish their scene, studio exec Dan Coakley decides to drop by on-set to have lunch with Jamie. But Drama’s concerned that he wants to sleep with her.
While Eric is showering, Ashley listens to a voicemail on his phone from Sloan, realizing that she got Eric the job offer. Upset, Ashley walks out.
Vince drives Turtle to the UCLA campus, where they both experience a bit of popularity- Turtle being Jamie-Lynn’s boyfriend, and Vince…being Vince.
After Turtle leaves for class, Drama calls Vince to warn him that the studio exec is trying to hit on Jamie-Lynn. While Vince is off keeping himself busy with a college girl, Drama continues his spy up-dates on the lunch with Jamie and Coakley.
At the agency, Ari calls Lizzy and Andrew to his office and ends up firing Andrew. He tells him to go home and sort all this out with his wife.
Eric ends up taking the management job, after being assured that it has nothing to do with the fact that he’s friends with Vince.
After Drama can’t focus during his next scene -not knowing where Jamie and Coakley are- he bolts to the head office to confront the studio exec. When Coakley tells him that they didn’t fuck but now he’s setting his eyes on the Soprano star, Drama chokes him.
Coakley threatens to have Drama killed- by the writers- but Drama’s loyalty to Turtle is stronger.
Eric drops by Ashley’s place, who accuses him of having feelings for Sloan. Giving him one chance to admit it out in the open, Eric agrees that he still likes her.
Hookups:
Eric and Ashley, Vince and a college co-ed.
Celeb Cameos:
Steve Nash, Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Episode Importance:
Manning up
Drama deciding to put his friendship with Turtle before his career as an actor, Ari firing his best friend Andrew, and Eric finally admitting that he still has feelings for Sloan- in front of Ashley.
Not gonna lie, that takes balls boys.
Overall:
It could be…yes it is, she’s going, going…Ashley…is…GOOOONE!! (Well maybe not for good, but at least E admits that he’s still a Sloan-lover).
Nicely equipped episode. In fact, I’ll say it’s the best one of the season so far.
What makes a great episode is as follows: Ashley getting the boot. Nah, just kidding, but that was a relief.
Actually in my opinion, it’s a healthy combination of Action/Drama, Comedy, Sex, Partying and a Celeb cameo for brownie points.
1. Now there was tons of Action/Drama, as you can see- Drama choking a studio exec, E admitting to Ashley that he likes Sloan, Ari firing Andrew, and Marlo bursting into the agency trying to find Andrew’s “whore.”
3. Ari Gold is all the comedy you need- just take a look at his quote that made the Best Lines.
4. A very nice Vinnie Chase college dorm sex scene- which could very well turn into a interesting sex tape scandal for a story-arc.
and..
5. Steve Nash- whether he had half a line or not, still pretty wicked.
**True, there wasn’t any partying with the boys, but with the story-line of everyone growing up, we gotta take what we can get.
Rating:
4/5
Best Line(s):
1) Ari warning junior agent Lizzy about inner-office relationships – “You so much as eye-fuck another agent in this building, and I will deport you naked to the Taliban.”
Abso-fucking-lutley Brilliant.
2) Drama’s advice to E about keeping secrets from Ashley- “I know you like to think about yourself as honest-Abe and all, but in this situation, lie like a mattress.”
Best Moment(s):
1) Marlo storming into the Miller-Gold Agency like a mad woman. Well executed.
2) Drama’s confrontation with Dan Coakley.
3) After Drama just finished the kissing scene with Jamie-Lynn Sigler while Turtle watched, Jamie then kisses Turtle, and Drama blurts out “Ew, it’s like you just kissed me.”
Next Week: No More Drama- The house has a break-in. Drama must make amends with a studio executive, and E goes up against a co-worker at his new job.
