Watch Entourage

As Vince shoots an action movie directed by Nick Cassavetes, he is asked to perform a dangerous driving stunt. Eric and Ari intervene, but there may be no stopping it. Now running a fledgling carservice business, Turtle is frustrated when an employee named Alex (Dania Ramirez) causes problems for him. Drama wants a job since his holding deal will expire in eight weeks, but Lloyd has not been forthcoming about his prospects, and Ari is the one who gives Drama a harsh reality.

Despite Vince’s best efforts to film a pivotal scene for Smokejumpers, Verner — who never wanted Vince in the first place — fires him from the movie, forcing Ari and Dana Gordon to try to bring the uncompromising director in line. After receiving an unexpected call from Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Turtle goes back to Los Angeles to spend the day with her. While he doesn’t reveal his encounter to the guys, he does tell her his real name.

Charlie gets his pilot script picked up, but when the studio wants to cast Seth Green — Eric’s nemesis — Eric must cast aside his personal feelings. Vince is upset that Verner, the director of Smokejumpers, continues to drag his character down, but Verner thinks Vince is the one with the problem. Ari and Lloyd give Ari’s old friend and mentor Andrew Klein a Hollywood makeover so he can impress agency co-owner Babs (Beverly D’Angelo), but when she is disrespectful, Ari has had enough.

On the set of Smokejumpers, Vince winds up getting his lines stolen by co-star Jason Patric, and not only does the director allow it, but Vince is too intimidated by Patric to do anything about it. Ari has lunch with Andrew Klein (Gary Cole), an old friend and mentor who needs his help.

After scoring a first class airplane seat next to actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Turtle later makes a claim about onboard sex that the guys don’t buy. Ari learns that another Vince-hater will get the job as the studio head of Warner Bros. if he doesn’t take it. Ari tries to prevent that while preserving his current job. Josh Weinstein uses Ari’s distraction to court Vince with filmmaker Frank Darabont.

Vince gets a taste of the fashion world when he agrees to do a Dolce & Gabbana photo shoot with a supermodel. Ari pays his respects at a funeral, and winds up getting offered the chance to head the movie studio Warner Bros.

Ari squares off against Alan Gray in a golf game in an attempt to get a role for Vince, only to have Alan continue to be his usual angry and vindictive self. After causing a televised car chase, Dom asks Vince to bail him out, but only Eric — who still doesn’t trust Dom — can afford it. Desperate for a job, Turtle agrees to be Drama’s personal assistant.

Vince, debating over whether to take the big studio picture Benji, a children’s film for $3 million, goes with the guys and Ari in search of clarity and guidance in the arid expanse of Joshua Tree National Park, with psilocybin mushrooms and their friend Eric Roberts. Lloyd agrees to watch Ari’s house while Mrs. Gold and the kids are away, but Lloyd and his boyfriend use Ari’s house to throw a gay party. Ari has a bad reaction to the mushrooms and gets lost at Joshua Tree. But eventually, on the way back, Vince uses his hallucinogenic experience to make another bad career choice.

Ari shows interest in Eric’s indie script, imagining it as a big studio production with Vince as the lead, but the novice writers, believing they now have a bidding war on their hands, up their price. Determined to postpone his post-breakup depression, Drama gets pumped for his guest appearance on The View (with Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck playing themselves). Drama, set up by his Five Towns co-stars, who have supplied the show with photos of Jacqueline, embarrasses himself, much to the frustration of publicist Shauna.

To avoid bankruptcy, Vince takes Shauna’s and his accountant’s advice by agreeing to make an appearance at a not-so-sweet-sixteen bash. Ari and Adam Davies’ feud restarts with an impromptu street race, but Davies takes it too far. Still devastated by his breakup, Drama gets drunk on a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue whisky.
