This Week On Entourage: Eric, nervous about the pilot screening for Charlie’s new sit-com, is pissed off when Ashley- who just spent the night at his house -admits that Charlie sucks in the pilot.

Meanwhile, the boys are all celebrating Turtle’s 30th birthday, but Turtle is experiencing the birthday blues. After a phone call from his mother who chews him out after looking like an idiot in People’s Magazine- for the sneaker shot at the premiere with Jamie-Lynn -Turtle decides it’s about time that he make something of himself.

Vince decides to cheer him up by taking him and the boys Ferrari racing on a racetrack, and then gives him a $240,000 Ferrari as a birthday gift.

Only Jamie then comes by to deliver her birthday present: a balling black Porsche- leaving Turtle even more down on himself that he can’t man-up and buy his own stuff.

At the Miller-Gold agency, Lloyd’s latest challenge is to refrain from smiling, refer to each client by last name, and memorize their favorite drink.

Eric discusses Vince’s new lucrative movie offers with Ari, before then getting a phone call from the CW for the pilot screening: the show rocked, but Charlie flopped. They gotta replace him.

He then goes home and tries to figure out how to break the news to Charlie, and decides to listen to Ashley’s advice about the show.

On the advice of Ari, Eric then decides to go badass-agent and storm into the CW office to protect his client, telling off Amy Miller and calling her a racist. But no luck.

Not an Ari Gold-like line, but Ari tells Eric that he’s proud of him for trying.

Turtle, still trying to figure out what he should be doing with his life, goes to Ari for potential investors for a business he wants to start. But Ari tells it to him straight-up, there’s more to just having an idea…come back when you can prove it.

So at the birthday dinner that night, Turtle surprises everyone by telling them he’s going back to school- UCLA night courses in business. Drama decides to cover Turtle’s tuition as a birthday present.

Finally a busy and tired Eric arrives, and confesses to Vince that he likes Ashley rather than Sloan, and decides to take the bill for Turtle’s birthday dinner.

Hookups: Eric with Ashley twice

Celeb Cameos: 50 Cent, Jamie Lynn Sigler

Episode Importance: Vince said it best “Everyone wants to be their own man”

Eric is slowly showing glimpses of breaking into the world of being a Hollywood agent, and wants to try and make it on his own without having Vince’s name as a producer on the shows. He had to deal with his first network rejection for a client, and also his first time telling his client the rough news that he’s off the show.

Tough, but even Ari says that Eric’s making progress.

And Turtle, who’s been merely Vince’s sidekick and chauffeur, finally got a wake-up call, and has decided to pursue bigger and better things. Although after the meeting with Ari, Turtle learns that there’s tons of factors that he hasn’t even considered or heard about yet, and realizes he’s going to have to put in a lot of work and pay his dues for this one. Deciding to go back to school shows that he’s also trying to forge his own path and break out of the frat house.

Overall: Well done guys. Much better than last week.

The fact that E and Turtle are both trying to branch out makes the story-line for this season more and more interesting. I love seeing Ari sort of taking E under his wing and teaching him how to be a bad ass, and then in the end when nothing came out of it, saying he’s proud of him.

I’d also like to see Drama getting a storyline though- he’s always at his best when he has some work-related stress (we might be seeing it next week).

Turtle’s phone call with his mother was hilarious, and E barging into the network’s office- on the advice of Ari -was probably the best part of the episode.

But once again, really not feeling this Ashley character. Totally useless.

Overall, some great humor, solid  plot advancements, and time with the boys. Nothing better.

Rating: 4/5

Best Line(s):

1) Drama recalling how mean Turtle’s mother was when they were growing up- “Remember your 13th birthday? She got you a Weight Watchers membership.”

2) Ari giving Eric advice on how to approach the network’s rejection of Charlie- “I would make a scene of biblical proportions. I would lie, scream, beg, borrow and steal. And if that somehow didn’t part Amy Miller’s legs, then I would somehow call her out on her racism, and I would yell for all to hear, ‘you’re really gonna fire my poor black client off the show he created!? I’m calling the NAACP, the Reverend Al Sharpton and the ghost of my man, Malcom X!”

3) Drama telling Eric about his experience with network rejections- “I hate when people tell me they hate me.”

4) Ari getting a call from Eric right after he just had a meeting with Turtle- “Wow it’s be a whole 10 minutes since I’ve been called by the Jonas Brothers, whatsup E?”

Best Moment(s):

1) Seeing Eric march into the CW’s office Ari Gold-style. Priceless.

2) When Loyd who has to refer to each client only by last name, refers to Turtle simply by
“Hello Mr…Turtle.”

3) When Turtle tells Ari that the bank won’t fund him for his business plan because he has no collateral, and Ari says “did you tell them about your hat collection?”

Next Week: Lloyd is sent to spy on Andrew Klein. Drama must prepare for a romantic scene on his show. Turtle gets a new wardrobe, courtesy of Jamie-Lynn, and Vince keeps himself occupied between projects.
