This Week On Entourage:
While eating dinner with Ashley, Eric gets a phone call from Sloan who tells him she’s co-chairing a charity golf event that he’s participating in with the boys. But Eric keeps that news on the down-low from Ashley.
At the tournament, the boys meet an exhausted Ari who was forced to sleep on the couch for the first time in 15 years, because of the lie he told his wife about Andrew. He also has Lloyd caddying for his group the entire day to build his self-esteem, and plays with the annoying Jeffrey Tambor who cheats to impress his children.
Vince and Drama are paired up with Mark Wahlberg and Tom Brady, while Sloan tells Eric that mega-manager Murray Berenson requested to pair up with him.
Drama tries to spice up the day and puts a wager of a grand per hole, but ends up being the laughing stock due to his poor golf game and temper.
Eric gets a job offer to work as a manager at Berenson’s “big shop,” and Turtle -a Giants fan- tries to convince himself to tell Tom Brady he “sucks balls,” but decides not to last minute when Tom invites Turtle and Jamie-Lynn out for dinner with him and his wife Gisele.
Ari gets more guilt from his wife, who calls him regarding the new Maserati gift for her- assuming it’s a way of trying to buy her off rather than simply apologizing. But Ari explains that there’s a man-code, and it wasn’t his business to spread the news about Andrew’s affair.
When Eric finds out that it was Sloan who recommended him to Berenson, he questions the job and decides to confront her about it.
Later on that night while discussing the job offer with Ashley, Eric mistakingly calls her “Sloan.”
Hookups:
None.
Celeb Cameos:
Mark Wahlberg, Tom Brady, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Jeffrey Tambor.
Episode Importance:
E’s love triangle
Now it’s finally starting take its shape, a nice solid mother fucking equilateral triangle. Sure E admits that he’s with Ashley, but it’s clear this guy is gonna have to make a decision soon- considering that lil’ slip-up at the end, mistakingly calling Ashley “Sloan.”
But I’m sure 99.99% of viewers are rooting for the re-DONK-ulously smoking Emmanuelle Chriqui.
Overall:
Kind of a random episode, but it had a nice touch- t’was pretty sweet seeing Wahlberg and Brady making cameos. E’s story-line progresses even more this week, as he gets a job offer to bigger and better things, and don’t forget his love drama shaping up between Sloan vs. Ashley.
Also by the way, I’m keeping with my earlier statements that this Ashley character his utterly useless. I think Lloyd’s left nut has a more important role, and it’s clear that she is only there as part of E’s individual story-line- and nothing else in the show.
On a better note, it was great seeing Drama this episode. Although he’s been spazzing out since his days of road-rage, Drama’s temper always gets me cracking- especially when he complains about his poor golf game and breaks Tom Brady’s custom-made club.
Speaking of complainers, Jeffrey Tambor had an excellent cameo appearance as he made Ari’s day at the event a living hell- cheating every chance he got to impress his brat kids and whining about everything.
But here’s the thing though, I’m kind of annoyed that Vince is just coasting the entire season so far though- I mean the guy’s story line is basically nothing besides dishing out cash when possible. I would really like to see the boys get occupied with another movie project already, otherwise, we’re bound to see the next few episodes only revolving around E or Turtle’s story-arcs.
And on another note, like I said last week, I think Ari’s gonna pack on some serious stress regarding his white-lie to his wife, and according to his interview with andPOP, we’ll see him breakdown soon.
Rating:
3.5/5
Best Line(s):
1) Jeffrey Tambour cautioning his kids to stop using foul language on the golf course- “Hey this is a family day, so shut the fuck up and hit the ball!”
2) Mark Whalberg’s first line, greeting Vince and the boys- “Yo, Gatsby and the funky bunch.”
T’was pretty smooth coming from Whalberg.
3) Turtle trying to suck-up to Tom Brady, yelling at Drama for breaking Brady’s golf club- “You broke Tom Brady’s club? You asshole. Sorry about that, Tom.”
Best Moment:
1) Drama freaking out over his horrible golf game with his $1000 per hole bet. His excuses: first it’s his lack of concentration, then it’s his apparently newly re-gripped club, then it’s the actual field. But breaking Brady’s club was hilarious.
Next Week:
Murphy’s Lie- Drama warns Jamie-Lynn about a sleazy network executive. E must clear the air with Ashley. Ari has problems at work with Marlo Klein.
