This Week On Entourage: As Eric reviews the late-night box office results for Gatsby, Ari calls to inform that Vince’s upcoming film is being pushed back three months.
This leaves a stress-free 12 weeks of vacation for the boys.
But not so with Ari, as his wife gets a call from Marlo Klein who’s looking for her husband Andrew. Ari covers it all up temporarily saying he’s probably with a client, but gets to the bottom of things at work, warning Klein that the affair with junior agent Lizzie better be over.
Andrew assures Ari it’s done, however when David Schwimmer shows up for a meeting and begins flirting with Lizzie, Andrew reveals his jealously.
Meanwhile, Vince is trying to figure out what he should do while on hiatus. Disappointed that all his buddies are too busy with their own lives, he decides to occupy himself with a waitress named Nicki for the afternoon…and Facebook too.
Drama, who’s being scripted a love interest for Five Towns, takes part in a model make-out casting session to see if any chemistry sparks- but nothing. He demands that the show get some real talent, but there’s not enough time for another casting session.
As a result, he pleads with Turtle to ask Jamie-Lynn if she would consider doing it. Turtle, out shopping for new wardrobes for school with Jamie-Lynn, immediately refuses.
When Lloyd tells Ari that Mr. Klein is crying alone in his car, Ari tries to figure out Andrew’s meltdown. He tells Andrew to think of his family, which he then takes the wrong way, and decides to leave his wife Marlo.
This leaves Mrs. Ari furious with Ari, when she hears from Marlo that Andrew broke off the marriage based on Ari’s advice.
When Turtle gets back to the house, he tells a depressed Drama that Jamie has agreed to do the brief make-out scene in Five Towns. And Eric breaks the news that he’s shutting down the Murphy Group.
Hookups: E and Ashley, Vince and a waitress named Nicki
Celeb Cameos: Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Jason Schwimmer
Episode Importance: Ari dealing with stress-
Seriously, the guy has to balance being one of the most powerful Hollywood agents, a husband, a father, a best friend…it’s obvious that the stress is going to start to get to him.
Now he has a decision to make: Side with his wife and get rid of Andrew before he makes even more commotion, or keep Klein- his latest agent gem (who’s bringing in a lot of business at work).
Ari has no time to babysit Andrew, and it’s clear that their relationship is on thin ice.
Overall: Truly amazing. Last week’s episode was one of the best produced in the series, but this one was by far the funniest of this season. Almost every scene left me laughing.
Sad to see our irish nugget close down the Murphy group, I really hope he continues working in the business somehow…and apparently next week, he’ll get just that.
And Jason Schwimmer at the agency was brilliant.
Rating: 4/5
Best Line(s):
1) Jason Schwimmer responding to an agent’s idea for a TV show he should do-
“Wow, so it’s kind of like ‘Raymond’ meets the ‘Loveboat.’ Cool…or I I just shoot myself in the fucking face right now.”
2) Ari telling Lloyd to keep an eye on Andrew- “Pretend he’s Zach Efron’s ball-sack!”
3) Timothy Busfield explaining to Drama why it took so long to get him a love interest-
“The network was resistant to the idea…they didn’t think the audience would believe you could get laid.”
Best Moment(s):
1) Jason Schwimmer’s performance at the agency. Hilarious.
2) Drama at the model-casting session for his love interest in Five Towns.
3) And then Drama- upset over the lack of talent in the pool of models- demanding that the show audition real A-List actresses for the role, such as Natalie Portman, Rachel McAdams, Jessica Alba or Scarlett Johanson…only for this brief kiss in one scene in an episode of the show.
The usual funny Drama shtick.
Next Week: Fore- Vince and Drama take on Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg at a charity golf event. E gets an unexpected job offer. Ari is in trouble with Mrs. Ari.
