1. Entourage
With his latest film "Head On" about to hit screens across the country, actor Vince Chase is living the player's life in L.A. Along for the ride are his best friends (and now employees): Eric and Turtle, who grew up with him in Queens, and Vince's brother, Johnny Drama. The crew spends most of their time relaxing at Vince's house in the Hollywood hills, shooting hoops, playing rooftop golf and entertaining ladies at the pool.
But to keep the lifestyle going, Vince has to keep making movies, and his superagent Ari thinks he's found just the project--the action film "Matterhorn." "Too busy" to read the script himself, Vince presses Eric, the only person he really trusts, for his honest appraisal, and his friend gives the "Die Hard at Disneyland" concept a thumbs down.
Ari goes ballistic when he hears that someone has gotten the ear of his client, and unleashes a torrent of abuse at the neophyte Eric over a sushi power dinner. Later, Ari calls with the capper: while Vince was dragging his feet on "Matterhorn," Colin Farrell has taken the part, keeping everyone from a multimillion-dollar payday.

2. The Review
"Head On" opens, but Variety tags Vince's performance in the film as lackluster. Talking it over with Eric, Vince doesn't seem to see the negative review as that big of a deal, but during a visit to Ari's office, Ari tells Eric to not bring up negative reviews in the future. The trip to Ari's office does offer a couple of positive moments, as the boys encounter pop starlet Justine Chapin, and Eric meets Ari's beautiful new assistant Emily.
To help fight off the cloud of the review, the boys head over to a Rolls Royce dealership, where Vince picks up a $320K Phantom-and then picks up some girls on the drive home. His business manager hits the roof over the ride, but the damage is already done. That night, Vince's "Head On" co-star Jessica Alba invites the crew to her house for a party she's throwing in Justine Chapin's honor.
Jessica formally introduces Vince and Justine, who definitely have some chemistry. Ari, who's also at the party, lays into Eric for allowing Vince to go nuts with the Phantom. But if momentum seems to be slowing down for the newly minted star, it revs up again the next morning: The New York Times declares Vince "the next Johnny Depp."
Now Eric just has to figure out how to return the Rolls.

3. Talk Show
Partying after a boxing match, Vince runs into Jimmy Kimmel, who immediately does his best to get Vince to commit to an appearance on his show the following night. Vince agrees, much to the chagrin of Shauna, who would rather see her client appear on Leno or Letterman. Also at the party, Luke Wilson tells Turtle and Drama about his new home theatre setup, planting the idea in their heads that they need an upgrade.
The next day, Drama reveals he and Kimmel have a past history, and that Kimmel disappeared and ignored him when Drama's career cooled off. Regardless, Vince decides to appear on Kimmel's show, and goes shopping with his publicist Shauna and Eric so he'll look good for the taping. Eric warns his friend not to ad lib his interview, remembering some previous disasters.
Eric's mind is elsewhere anyway, as his ex-, Kristen, visits the house to pick up a few of items that she had left behind. The former couple end up coupling again, but Kristen later dismisses it as "break-up sex."
The backstage area of the Kimmel show lives up to its wild reputation, and Vince has a romantic encounter with former fling and fellow guest Sara Foster in her dressing room. Meanwhile, Eric and Emily get some time to hang out privately, while Ari tries to woo comedian Sarah Silverman into joining his stable.
A relaxed Vince delivers a knockout performance on the show. During the segment, Kimmel even calls out Drama for an on-air reconciliation, giving him a golden opportunity for a plug - and a free home theatre set-up for the house.

4. Date Night
The big day has arrived, and "Head On" is opening wide across the country, but Vince doesn't seem to be too concerned about going to see the film. Instead, he makes plans to spend the big night hanging out with his boys.
Following his lead, Eric plays down the opening and sets up a first date with Emily--and as soon as Vince hears, he declares a date night, over Eric's strident objections.
The crew will make a night of it: Eric has Emily, Drama has a muscular new companion of his own; Vince brings pop starlet Justine Chapin and Turtle finds a hot, if potentially psycho, fan of Vince's by reading through his mail.
Before the festivities begin, Vince goes on Power 106 to promote the film on L.A.'s hottest radio show, Big Boy's Neighborhood. The conversation veers a bit off-course, and Eric's poor dating history is brought up. His ex-, Kristen, hears about the appearance, and calls him up, hinting that maybe she's not entirely ready to break things off for good.
When evening rolls around, the crew travels in style in a limo rented by Turtle, much to Eric's horror. The party goes all over LA, stopping briefly at a few theatres showing "Head On" before making its way to a bowling alley. Eric is aghast, but Emily takes it all in good fun.
Eventually, everybody ends up at the club Prey, including Ari, who shows up to deliver the fast financials for the film. Emily is uncomfortable being there with her boss, but she and Eric share a kiss before she departs. Departure turns out to be the theme of the evening, as the other three guys also wind up losing their dates (Vince and Justine split far less acrimoniously than do Turtle, Drama and their respective dates).
Ari does deliver good news, as "Head On" is the number one live-action film in the country (coming in second to a talking squirrel picture). Shots of Patron are produced, and the boys from Queens look to celebrate together--at least until the next beautiful women goes by.

5. The Script and the Sherpa
Vince is dating a new girl, Fiona, and the rest of the crew are not happy about the new relationship. Fiona is an outspoken vegan, causing Vince to rearrange his routine to try and keep her happy. This doesn't sit well with Turtle, Eric and Drama, who all see her as a potential Yoko Ono, ready to ruin Vince's career... along with the sweet setup that they've established.
A rival agent, Josh Weinstein, slips Eric a script at the gym. Eric positively loves "Queens Boulevard," and urges Vince to read the script. However, it isn't until Fiona recommends it that Vince actually winds up opening the script. Ultimately, he does, and instantly falls in love with the script.
Turtle's biggest headache is the massive marijuana shortage that is currently gripping the West Coast. Nobody seems to have a supplier, and Turtle relies on the weed to help him to score. Shockingly, Fiona has a solution... her guru, who has an enormous operation working out of Bel Aire. The crew meet the Sherpa, who, while wildly eccentric, does have the goods. Fiona finally shows the crew that she's got one thing going for her by providing the hookup, and she soon establishes a second, as she leaves the country to go on a months-long spiritual quest.
Ari gets Vince a meeting with Scott Wick, the producer of "Queens Boulevard," but he warns that Wick is not a fan of Vince. The meeting is cold at first, and it looks as if Vince won't be offered a role, but when Wick discovers that Vince has a source of weed, the relationship warms. Vince then manages to keep Scott out of trouble when a cop discovers them smoking up outside the restaurant, cementing him as the top choice to star in "Queens Boulevard."

6. Busey and the Beach
Vince is still dedicated to doing "Queens Boulevard," but Ari has yet to make that deal happen. Instead, the agent is pitching Vince on a myriad of other projects... a tact that's wildly unsucessful. Vince and Eric don't understand why Ari hasn't gotten Vince on the project yet, and they begin to grow dissatisfied with his work. Complicating matters is rival agent Josh Weinstein, who interjects himself into Vince's life, and invites the boys to a beach party.
Ari sets up Drama with representation, but Drama balks when he meets his new agent, who doesn't have an office and answers his own phones. Drama's depression grows when he runs into an old acting buddy who is now working as a waiter. The agent comes through, though, getting Drama 3 auditions in a week, saving him from a life of serving shrimp puffs.
The crew go to an art exhibit, presenting art from another of Shauna's clients: Gary Busey. The laughable works are basically ignored by the foursome until Turtle accidentally knocks over a piece, destroying it. Turtle knows Busey's rep, and begins to worry about what the "Lethal Weapon" actor will do to him. Later, Turtle encounters Busey, who scares the hell out of him, but doesn't actually wind up doing anything physically damaging.
The situation with Weinstein puts a huge strain on Eric's growing relationship with Emily. She has feelings for Eric, but she also knows that she has to have loyalty to her boss. When Emily tries to remove herself from the situation, Eric makes it clear that he's concerned about Vince's career, causing her to walk away in disgust.
Vince and his boys go to Josh's party and have a great time. They're so enamoured with Josh, that Eric calls up Ari, implying that they're about to fire him as an agent. Ari rushes over to the party, and confronts Josh, making it clear that he has the power to absolutely destroy the younger agent in Hollywood. After humiliating Weinstein, Ari finds Vince and Eric, explaining exactly why the deal hasn't been done yet. The rare honesty is appreciated, and Vince retains Ari as his agent.

7. The Scene
Pre-production on "Queens Boulevard" is moving along nicely, and famed indie director Billy Walsh is tapped to helm the project. Vince takes an immediate liking to the freewheeling Walsh, but Eric has a few concerns. Tensions between E and Walsh grow, as Walsh continually refers to E as a "suit." Despite Eric's concerns, it looks like Vince will give the partnership a greenlight -- until Eric discovers that Walsh has added a scene to the film in which Vince will have a romantic liaison with another man.
While Vince and Eric debate whether or not they can go with Walsh, Drama finds himself flush with cash from a nice residual check. Turtle wants a cut of the cash so he can spend it on some "dancers," but Drama refuses since he's sworn to never pay for sex again. Later, the two bring home a couple of women from a club, but it doesn't look like they'll be able to score-at least not before Drama helps out one of the women with her rent. He may have fallen off the wagon, but at least his residual money went to a good cause.
To help decide whether or not Walsh is the man for "Queens Boulevard," the crew sits down to watch Walsh's first film. As much as it pains him to admit it, Eric is blown away by the piece. E and Vince meet with Walsh again to talk about possibly removing the scene, but Walsh refuses. Vince relents, and agrees to do the scene, but Walsh reveals that he never actually intended for it to be in the film; it was just a test to see if Vince trusted in his vision.

8. New York
Sick of being known as "Vince's guy," Eric wants a title commensurate with his responsibilities. With his latest shoot taking him to New York for three months, Vince prepares to say goodbye to L.A.--as well as his many "special" girlfriends. Meanwhile, Drama debates taking either a high-paying TV role or a low-paying film gig, and Turtle stakes out a claim as Vince's "farewell party" promoter.

1. The Boys Are Back in Town
With filming on Queens Boulevard completed, Vince, Eric, Turtle and Drama arrive back in LA, ready to pick up where they left off. Eric tries to fulfill his new duties as Vince's manager, while also trying to control the frustrations caused by his relationship with Kristen. He also has to deal with Ari, who lets him know that offers to Vince have started to dry up, and that Vince should take the starring role in James Cameron's "Aquaman." Turtle steps up into his new role as the house manager and Drama finds an unconventional way to get a new set of headshots.

2. My Maserati Does 185  
Ari intensifies his attempts to get Vince attached to Aquaman, but the young actor doesn't want to get on board with the project. Instead, he devotes his energies to attending a party at Jaime Pressly's beachhouse. At the bash, Eric hooks up with a Perfect 10 model, making him feel guilty about cheating on Kristen. He buys her some jewelry to try and soothe his conscience, but he soon discovers that she cheated on him while "Queens Boulevard" was shooting in NY. He breaks things off with her and finally starts enjoying himself. Meanwhile, Drama wonders if his legs are attractive enough to earn him some of Hollywood's meatier roles.

3. Aquamansion  
The crew gets kicked out of the mansion, and Vince immediately falls in love with one of Marlon Brando's old homes. However, since the new digs fall way outside of his price range, the "Aquaman" offer starts to become a bit more appealing to Vince. A slumber party at the Playboy Mansion could serves as a welcome distraction for the guys, but Drama find out that he's banned for life by Hugh Hefner. Turtle devises a way to sneak Drama into the party, but he's soon found out. Some quick talking and a flash of memory allows Drama to get the ban transferred to Pauly Shore, and the crew are finally able to enjoy themselves. The relaxed atmosphere gives Vince a moment of clarity, and he decides to take the "Aquaman" role... so long as he gets approval on his super hero costume.

4. An Offer Refused  
As Vince and Turtle break out the credit cards to decorate the new mansion, Eric worries that the 'Aquaman' offer isn't in writing. Ari does all that he can to close for his client, but he just can't seal the deal. The only person in the house unconcerned about the state of financial flux is Drama, who is preoccupied with his calves and is considering augmentation-- regardless of the $10K price tag. Working the phones frantically, Ari and Eric believe they have finally gotten Vince his popcorn movie... but their glee is short-lived when they find out that it's still not official--and that Leonardo DiCaprio is the new frontrunner for the part.

5. Neighbors  
Vince finally gets his first Variety cover with the news that he has landed the role of Aquaman... unfortunately, the deal hasn't actually been inked. No matter how many phone calls Ari and Eric make, they're not able to get a meeting between Vince and James Cameron, who is helming the aquatic epic. Complicating matters is Emily, who has no real love for either Ari or E, and is now working for Cameron. Eventually, Cameron agrees to screen Queens Boulevard to see if Vince will be right for the role, but Walsh refuses to show the film to anybody before its premiere at Sundance. Meanwhile, Turtle manages to break out of a lengthy slump with the help of a professional.

6. Chinatown  
To help pay the bills, Ari lands Vince a gig appearing in a lucrative foreign commercial. The benefits extend beyond the financial compensation, as Vince also manages to bed his beautiful stunt coordinator. Meanwhile, Turtle decides to make his own bank by entering an Xbox boxing tournament, but he gets ousted early on by a young gaming prodigy. Eric continues to stress out, since he's not able to get an advance print of "Queens Boulevard" for James Cameron. Luckily, the A-list director agrees to attend the Sundance screening of the film, offering hope that Vince may still end up with the "Aquaman" role

7. The Sundance Kids  
The crew arrive at Sundance, eager to see the final cut of "Queens Boulevard"... and to convince James Cameron to cast Vince as his Aquaman. A chance encounter between Erica and a studio big wig leads to an offer for Vince that is a safe alternative to "Aquaman," but Vince instead decides to take his chances and go for the superhero franchise. Although Cameron only sees about ten minutes of "Queens Boulevard," he decides to slot Vince in as his leading man. Also at the festival, Turtle and Drama both romance the same woman, leading to a very awkward moment

8. Oh, Mandy  
Now that Vince is officially slated to star in "Aquaman," the next order of business is to choose his "Aquagirl" for the film. Several A-list actresses are up for the role, with Mandy Moore, a former flame of Vince's, on the short-list. Vince doesn't think casting his ex- would be problematic, but after having dinner with her - and learning that she's engaged to be married -- he asks Eric to keep her out the film. Drama, meanwhile, endures a difficult audition (and a brief jail stay after a bout of road rage), but ends up landing a great role.

9. I Love You Too  
Heading to a comic book convention to launch Aquaman, Vince decides that he overreacted in blackballing Mandy Moore from the film, but when she wants him to be friends with her fiance, he can't quite play along. The situation gets worse when an influential Internet journalist starts asking questions about the co-stars' old fling, and Vince abruptly ends the interview.
As the hero of Viking Quest, Drama is a big man at Comicon, and it's his acquaintances - a group of porn-stars turned comic heros -- that finally manage to turn the angry journalist around. After a visit from the Pussy Patrol, he deems Vince the perfect Aquaman, and the boys head back to L.A. to celebrate at a U2 concert, courtesy of Ari.

10. The Bat Mitzvah  
Vince tells Mandy that he still cares for her, but she is uncomfortable with the admission due to her engagement. James Cameron and Eric both worry that this complication will derail the production of "Aquaman," but Vince swears it won't be a problem. The crew shop for suits for Ari's daughter's Bat Mitzvah, where they run into Sloan, the daughter of Ari's boss. Eric and Vince show interest in her, and at the Bat Mitzvah itself, they both make plays for her. In the end, Sloan goes with Eric, a fortunate choice, since Mandy and her fiancee decide to take a break, opening the door for Vince. Meanwhile, Ari's boss starts to make a move to steal Vince away from Ari, putting a damper on Mr. Gold's rare good mood. Also, Turtle and Drama have to jump through hoops to get a good meal.

11. Blue Balls Lagoon  
Vince and his Aquagirl are outed as an item by Page Six, much to the concern of Shauna. Eric goes into damage control mode, keeping the two on a professional level when they're out in public. Ari gives Vince a painting as a gift, but Eric later finds out that the painting is a fake. Realizing that he's already in trouble due to Terrance's overtures towards Vince, Ari replaces the painting with the original, straight from his own wall. Drama loses his Movie of the Week gig when he gets over-excited about his scene with Brooke Shields. Eric's relationship with Sloan grows more interesting, further complicating his personal and professional lives.

12. Good Morning Saigon   
As Vince's relationship with Aquagirl intensifies, Eric has to deal with two increasingly anxious sets of agents - those representing Vince and those tied to his paramour. Ari lies to Eric, claiming that James Cameron is willing to drop Vince from the project if the actor doesn't focus on the film. But the charade is exposed, and Eric turns the tables by sending Ari to Napa on a revenge-motivated wild goose chase. After Eric's car is stolen, a demo CD is left behind by the perps. The crew loves the tunes on the CD, and Turtle tracks down the artist, signing him to a management deal.

13. Exodus  
Vince's feelings for his Aquagirl intensify, but when Eric, Turtle and Drama see her with her ex-, the crew begin to worry for their friend. Drama and Turtle follow her to get photographic evidence of her infidelities, but their low-rez camphone shots fail to convince their friend. Vince does ask her about her feelings, and she admits that she thinks that she needs to return to her former flame, leaving Vince devastated and ready to quit the Aquaman project. Ari's conflict with Terrance hits a boiling point, and when Ari attempts a coup, he winds up being fired from the agency.

14. The Abyss  
Vince's despondent mood alienates all of those in his inner circle, leaving them to consider possible futures without him. Turtle sets up a showcase for Saigon, while Drama is dropped by his agent. Terrance offers Eric a job as an agent (which he eventually refuses) and the now-unemployed Ari does everything he can to try and get back into the game while holding his meetings at the Coffee Bean. When Vince meets with James Cameron to discuss dropping out of the project, he realizes that he can't let this opportunity pass him by, choosing to snap out of his funk and remain in the role of Aquaman.

1. Aquamom
The night of the Aquaman premiere draws close and the crew is preparing themselves for the biggest event of Vince's career. Drama and Turtle keep finding better looking women to bring to the event, but they find themselves prematurely running out of passes to hand out to the hotties. Vince is less concerned about finding a date. He knows there's only one woman to bring -- his mom. Mrs. Chase is hesistant to make the trip to the West Coast due to a fear of travelling, but E finally convinces her to travel with both his and Turtle's mothers. Meanwhile, Ari adjusts to life in his new office (complete with broken down elevator) and finds that he's in for a huge challenge on his own.

2. One Day in the Valley
It's "Aquaman's" opening day and the pressure is on. Initial box office projections, already "Titanic"-sized, get even higher after the first East Coast numbers stream in, giving everyone hope that the film has a chance to pass "Spider-Man" as the biggest opening weekend in history. To avoid getting recognized, Vince and the boys decide to take in a showing in the Valley, but the 100 degree heat sets off blackouts -- and unsure West Coast numbers. The bouncing box office receipts and the heat push everyone to the brink, so to unwind, the crew ends up crashing a high school party, where Vince gets to live out his "Almost Famous" fantasy. When Ari finally finds them - a drunken Vince celebrating on a rooftop - he breaks the big news: "Aquaman" is back on track to break the weekend box office record.

3. Dominated
After a night on the town celebrating Vince's bona fide movie star status with the success of "Aquaman" and the unveiling of the new Aquaman theme park ride, the crew gets a surprise visit from Dom, a recently paroled childhood friend from Queens. Back in the day, Dom took a rap for Vince, so Vince is glad to help out his friend in any way he can. But Dom's brash ways quickly prove to be too much for Eric, Drama and Turtle. Unfortunately for them, Vince hires "the Dominator" as his new head of security, so it looks as if he will be around for a while. Meanwhile, Ari has his hands full trying to keep his daughter away from an egocentric tween star with bad intentions.

4. Guys and Doll
With Aquaman packing multiplexes across the world, it's time for Vince to capitalize on his success and pick his next project. Ari informs his star client that the dream role of Pablo Escobar in "Medellin" is available, and all that Vince needs to do to land the role is to impress Phil Rubenstein, the film's producer. The entire entourage attends a party at Rubenstein's Santa Barbara mansion, but all of the goodwill that Vince earns is destroyed when a prized model of Shrek disappears from the producer's house during the party. Suspicion immediately turns to Dominick, but the ex-con flatly denies the theft. Turtle, Drama and E don't believe him, but Vince does, and he won't waver in his support for his friend. "Medellin" is about to be totally derailed when Dom finally admits to lifting the doll during the party. The crew cut Dom loose and surreptitiously return the model, only to learn that there's a new complication: "Aquaman 2" has been greenlit and is scheduled to start shooting -- the same day as "Medellin."

5. Crash and Burn
With help from Ari and Eric, Vince puts the heat on the studio to delay "Aquaman 2" so he can film his dream project, "Medellin." They manage to buy a 65-day window, but "Medellin" director Paul Haggis can't see himself chopping his script or trimming the shooting schedule. Eric comes up with a solution, convincing the director to shoot part of the script after Aquaman, and everyone's happy. Vince sets up a meeting with the head of Warner Brothers to tell him the good news.
Meanwhile, Ari is still preoccupied with his daughter's burgeoning romance with Max. He undermines one of his own kid clients, recommending Max to Penny Marshall as the lead for her tween terror film shooting in Kazakhstan. Turtle requests a sit down with Ari when Saigon starts getting heavy play on the radio and the calls from labels come rolling in. When Drama calls "shotgun" on Turtle's lunch with Ari, he finally gets Mr. Gold Standard to agree to represent him.
They're all in for a surprise when Vince meets with the studio head, who has changed his mind on "Medellin" -- he can't have Aquaman "doing three hours of blow on every multiplex in the country." Beside himself, Vince demands $20 million to do the sequel. "What'd I miss?" Ari asks when he arrives late for the dinner.

6. Three's Company
The showdown between Vince and the studio intensifies over Aquaman 2 vs. Medellin, and Ari is popping every vein to bring the two sides together. Adding to his aggravation, his prize client refuses to talk to him until he lands Johnny Drama a role -- a tall order considering Drama's current lack of star power.
Eric gets the offer of a lifetime when Sloan suggests they get together with her gorgeous friend Tori for a threesome. Before any action ensues, Sloan lays down some ground rules for her boyfriend, making it clear she's not willing to share all of him. After the trio spends a night together, Eric wakes up to find himself spooning Tori, which sends Eric into a tailspin -- Tori has really gotten under his skin.
The studio ups the ante for Vince and plays hardball with Ari, threatening to shut off access to their projects for all of his clients if he fails to deliver "the pretty boy." A last minute audition for Drama (procured by Lloyd) finally opens the lines of communication with Vince a little too late, Ari delivers news Vince doesn't want to hear: Medellin is off the table, the role has gone to Benicio Del Toro. After Ari convinces him he has no choice, Vince finally agrees to do Aquaman 2 - for the original offer, on principle - and he never wants to work with the studio again afterwards. But when Vince fails to show for a breakfast with the studio chief the next day, the offer is rescinded. They're dumping him from A2, leaving everybody's future in doubt.

7. Strange Days
E is still sweating the fact that he woke up cuddling with Tori rather than Sloan during their threesome. To try and ease his conscience, he tracks down Tori at her hotel to apologize, but in doing so manages to creep her out even more.
Ari's break from Terrance is nearly complete when he negotiates an $11 million severance package - on a handshake. He quickly goes scouting for colossal office space (for what will be the biggest agency in LA, he tells his wife), and is spotted by former co-worker (and Terrance stooge) Adam Davies.
Eric can't get Tori out of his mind, and he has to see her again at the charity auction Sloan is organizing. While Sloan is busy auctioning off Vince to the highest bidder (a septuagenarian), the prize movie star is busy in the coatroom with a cocktail waitress, and Tori is suggesting another three-way to Eric (no rules this time, she says, if he can convince Sloan). Queasy with nerves, Eric ends up fleeing the party. And as Sloan's father hobnobs, Adam Davies approaches Ari with an offer: he wants a partnership and a million-dollar contract at his Ari's new agency, or tell Terrance all about Ari's big plans. Realizing he's over a barrel, Ari agrees to take him on.
Tori ends up crashing on Sloan's couch for one more night, keeping Eric up until he gets the chance to talk to her one final time. She doesn't deny an attraction, but suggests that Eric not let a girl like Sloan slip away.

8. The Release
In the wake of the record-breaking Aquaman, Queens Boulevard is picked up for wide release. Vince and E's joy at the news is quickly muted when they learn that the film has been re-cut and colorized ("Aquaman-ized," says director Billy Walsh). Worse, Vince has to go tout the film to the Hollywood Foreign Press in a matter of hours, and he's not sure he wants anything to do with what was once his passion project.
Drama lands an audition for Ed Burns, but he loses his laser-sharp focus on the role after a series of distractions fan the flames of his notorious temper. He misses the audition, and after briefly contemplating anger management classes, he takes a call from Burns. He missed the audition too, and he wants to offer the gig to Drama - no audition necessary.
The heads of the major talent agencies are on to Ari's big plans, and they ambush him 'five families' style at a restaurant. When Ari comes clean, Terrance announces that he plans to spend $50 million in legal fees to avoid paying him the $11 million sum they negotiated. All looks lost until Barbara Miller, the woman who led Ari into the ambush, offers to buy into his new agency. After a quick negotiation, the Miller Gold agency is announced - to a table full of eager young agents ready to sign on.
But Ari's agency troubles have kept him from attending to his star client, and when he shows up at Vince's Press event, he's in for a surprise. "The movie I loved you will never see," Vince announces to the gathered cameras. "These execs ripped out its soul."

9. Vegas Baby, Vegas!
In the wake of the "Queens Boulevard" debacle, Vince decides that it's time to get away from L.A. and take a trip to Vegas with the boys. Ari tries to talk his star client out of the excursion, but with very little arm-twisting, ends up joining them instead.
Turtle helps make the trip into a working vacation by getting Vince a gig judging a "beauty contest." The $100K payoff requires a bit more work than expected, but it allows a lot of time with the buxom contestants... who turn out to be strippers. While debating whether his client should be affiliated with a stripper contest, Ari starts chasing his losing streak at the blackjack tables. Eric has his own problems, as he keeps running into Seth Green, who taunts E about his past with Sloan.
Drama has his own agenda for the trip -- a run of massages from his favorite (male) masseuse. Drama's doting patronage leads the former football star to think Drama is coming on to him, and Dramas "advances" that are eventually welcomed by the man with magic hands. All of the stress relief that Drama has earned is instantly undone, and he storms off in a twitchy rage.
Ari's losses continue to mount until Vince intervenes and starts playing his cards. After stacking the chips high, an improbable spread of cards come Vince's way, saving the day. The streak of good luck comes to an abrupt end at the stripper contest, when tensions between Eric and Seth Green come to a head. Fists and drinks fly between the respective entourages just in time for Drama to jump in and prove his manhood. Vince's sullied image is in for another beating.

10. I Wanna Be Sedated
Ari has been preoccupied with setting up his new agency, and with the Vegas brawl and foreign press debacle fresh in his mind, Eric accuses him of blowing off his star client. The pair butt heads in the office, and as a way of sticking it to Eric, Ari dumps windy old-school producer Bob Ryan on him.
It's Turtle's big day - the record deal signing - but Saigon is nowhere to be found. When he goes to the meeting without 'the artist,' he infuriates the record exec, who gives him until the end of the day to deliver the rapper. In the meantime, Vince decides to spend his 'unemployed' time at a bookstore, where he meets a cute girl and spends the day with her, taking her shopping and joining her in the dressing room.
Eric finds himslef sequestered in Bob Ryan's mansion, listening to endless old Hollywood stories. When he pushes to hear about the projects the old guy has in mind in for Vince, he gets nowhere.
Turtle and Drama turn L.A. upside down trying to find Saigon. After a bit of detective work, they finally locate him - partying in a swank hotel suite... with his other manager. He neglected to tell Turtle that he was already obligated to the guy, and they just signed a deal with a hip hop label, one that's not 'the whitest in town.' Drama tries to intervene on Turtle's behalf, but ends up dangled from the hotel balcony, Vanilla Ice-style. Saigon steps in to get his manager to buy Turtle out for a quick $40k, and Johnny is spared.
Vince is already smitten with the bookstore girl, and invites her to spend the next day with him. She turns him down, explaining she’s engaged. "It's not what you think," she explains. "You were on my list." She and her fiance agreed they could sleep with certain celebrities if the chance ever presented itself.
Over in Old Hollywood, Bob finally admits to Eric he doesn't have a project for him, but he was hoping they could brainstorm something. (He locked Dennis Hopper in his bathroom with a bag of mushrooms in '68 and 'Easy Rider' was born.) Eric is ready to flee, but as he waits for Bob to find his driver, he spots a photo of him with Joey Ramone. Bob just happens to own a script about the Queens punk pioneers, Vince's favorite band, and Eric has stumbled upon his next big project.

11. What About Bob?
Eric, Ari and Bob Ryan take the Ramones project to the studios, but Ari and Bob soon find themselves at odds over how to pitch the biopic. After a spectacular failure of a meeting, E gets Bob to agree to let Ari take the lead on the next one. That's not good enough for Ari, who sends Bob to the wrong studio to get him out of the way.
It's the first day of shooting on Drama's new pilot, and the elder Chase brother finds himself in the throes of a panic attack. Director Ed Burns keeps expanding his role with elaborate blocking and more monologue, sending Drama over the edge. When his meditation mantras ("you are not a pussy") fail him, Drama disappears into the back of his trailer to take matters into his own hands - forgetting that he's still mic'd up. Though the entire crew learns of Drama's relaxation technique, he nails the scene.
With Saigon cash burning a hole in his pocket, Turtle sets out to score some Fukijamas, a pair of red-hot limited edition sneakers. Vince accompanies him on his quest but refuses to play his celebrity card and cut the line, so they come up empty-handed. After DJ AM barters for the last pair in Turtle's size, Vince cooks up a solution - he offers the graffiti artist $20K to design a custom pair exclusively for Turtle.
Without Bob weighing him down, Ari quickly drums up interest in the Ramones pic at Universal. Just one hitch: after realizing he'd been led astray, Bob paid a visit to his friend Alan at Warner Bros, the very studio that blacklisted Vince, and sold him the script.

12. Sorry, Ari
Screwing him out of the Ramones project was the final straw, and Vince is ready to fire Ari. When Ari hears that Vince is placing the call himself, he refuses to take it - instead setting out on a mad scramble to get Vince back on the punk rock pic.
In the meantime, the boys decide to "flirt" with a few new agencies, and Drama suggests they rate each one based on his point system (décor, service, amenities and ambiance). But it all seems moot when every pitch they hear is straight out of Madison Avenue.
Lloyd uses his connections in the "gay assistants corps" to learn Vince is taking meetings, information that sends Ari into overdrive. He gets a glimmer of hope when Dana Gordon, the Warner chief's beleaguered sidekick, tells him off-the-record that the studio hasn't officially bought the Ramones script from Bob Ryan yet. Not only that, her boss was planning to shelve the film - he was only interested in it to spite Vince for ditching Aquaman 2. Dana wants out of her job and on the film as a producer, and Ari promises to help her get on the project while protecting her as his informant. He drives straight to Bob's house to play his new cards, and is forced to reveal his source.
But after mulling it over, Bob decides to "trust his instincts," and officially sells the project to Warners. He also stooges out Dana Gordon, getting her fired. Ari is screwed.
After dodging him all day, Ari invites Vince into the office - and mobilizes his forces. But instead of apologizing for screwing up the Ramones pic, Ari and his agency give Vince the same generic presentation as every other shop in town. Vince realizes that it's time for a break, and Eric delivers the news - officially firing Mr. Gold in the hallway of his own agency.

13. Less Than 30
It's Vince's birthday, and Amanda, his new agent, has two gifts: courtside tickets to a Lakers game and an offer to star in an adaptation of an Edith Wharton novel. The basketball game ends up being somewhat awkward since Vince sees Ari across the court, but responding to Amanda's enthusiasm for the Wharton script, Vince expresses interest in taking the project.
Seeing Vince at the game reopens Ari's wound from losing his star client and he begins a campaign to woo back Vince. He sets up a "friendly" birthday meal with Vince (who, at Drama's urging, opts for lunch over dinner, and brings E as a buffer) and presents his gift: the news that 'Medellin,' Vince's dream project, is once again available. Amanda denies that 'Medellin' is still in play, but the seed of doubt has been planted in Vince's mind.
Meanwhile, Turtle and Drama have been tasked with planning a birthday party for Vince, but are having trouble fitting their big plans into their limited budget. Turtle wants to hold the party on a boat, but the only vessel with a big enough capacity for the guest list is the Queen Mary. In a flash of inspiration, Turtle solves the budget crisis: sponsorship.
The party is huge, with scores of Hollywood players in attendance-including both Ari and Amanda, who face off in front of Vince. Eventually Ari retreats, but not before his mission is accomplished; Vince decides to back burner the Wharton project, just in case 'Medellin' really is available.

14. Dog Day Afternoon
Amanda is pushing Vince for an answer on the Sam Mendes project, but Vince seems more concerned about his upcoming couples trip to Wine Country with Eric and Sloan. Unfortunately, E and Sloan didn't know that Vince was planning on coming along on the excursion, so the pair concoct a plan to go away without Vince.   
In anticipation of having the house to themselves, Drama and Turtle bring Ahnold to a dog park to try and pick up some girls of their own. The plan works well at first, as the pair find two women that have a Rott and soon all six are hooking up poolside. Unfortunately, Ahnold's "date" doesn't go that well, as he ends up sending the female Rott to the vet in a fight over a piece of meat. The dog ends up okay, and the party goes back to the girls' apartment. But Drama and Turtle end up leaving unsatisfied when Turtle loses it on his date after she suggests that Ahnold should be neutered.
Ari has the opportunity to sign Jay Lester, an A-list writer known as "The Syndication Machine." To help move the deal along, Ari subtly offers up Lloyd to Lester, a notoriously promiscuous queen. Lloyd is soon dispatched to a club to "personally" deliver the agency papers. Much to his own surprise, Ari has a rare moment of conscience, and drives into the heart of Boys Town to rescue Lloyd -- at the cost of inking the writer.
Eric's and Sloan's plan to get away alone appears doomed, as Vince seems to have an answer for every excuse that they provide. Eventually, E mans up and tells Vince the truth, so Vince packs up Turtle and Drama and takes off for Cabo for some Spring Break fun.

15. Manic Monday
Amanda needs an answer on the period film, but Vince won't commit to any other project until the cameras are actually rolling on 'Medellin.' Amanda persists, so Vince has the crew read the script to get everybody's opinion. Unfortunately, the script is so dry that nobody can get through it, leading Vince to realize that the project isn't right for him after all.
Back at Miller Gold, Barbara demands that Ari fire an inept agent, but Ari can't bring himself to lower the ax - usually one of his favorite tasks. Ari's couples- therapist postulates that he's feeling emasculated by losing Vince as a client. Ari dismisses the theory and storms back to the agency to cut the dead weight off the Miller Gold payroll - but wimps out again. In a full-blown identity crisis, Ari tracks down his therapist on the golf course, and she helps him reconnect with his inner anger, allowing him to return to work, fire the agent and reclaim his Ari Gold swagger.
Amanda makes one last attempt to attach Vince to the period film, demanding that he and E join her for a dinner meeting. Infuriated to hear that Vince is officially passing, she asks if Ari is responsible for the change of heart. Vince denies it, and Amanda insists that going forward, they be completely honest with each other. The new honesty policy is immediately invoked when Amanda and Vince admit their mutual attraction and get together for a hookup.

16. Gotcha!
Vince and Amanda are still glowing in their post-hookup bliss, but they resolve to continue on with their professional relationship as if nothing had happened. The pair aren't very good at hiding their attraction, and E quickly realizes what is going on. Concerned about what the situation will do to Vince, E lets Amanda know how he feels about the affair.
Pauly Shore has a new hidden camera show, "Gotcha," and word gets to Drama that he's going to be surprised by a filmed prank. So when Drama has a run-in with UFC Champion Chuck Liddell later that day, he assumes it's part of the show and plays it up for the imagined cameras by getting tough with the MMA superstar. Liddell is about to drop Drama, when fate intervenes and Drama is spared. Unfortunately, the real "Gotcha" involves a troop of money-grubbing girl scouts and Drama realizes that he's now on Chuck Liddell's hit list for real.
Ari's college buddy Scott comes to visit, and Mrs. Ari is not happy about it. She has always found him to be boorish, but when he arrives at the house, he's far more civil than before and he even has a beautiful fiancee in tow. Scott is also wildly rich due to a dotcom deal that earned him $65M, and Ari finds himself jealous of his friend. To try and bring back the old Scott, Ari begins acting like a frat boy towards Scott's fiancee, offending her and cutting the reunion short.
To try and smooth things over with Liddell, the crew go to a fundraiser that he's putting on for underprivileged kids. But the Iceman isn't fooled and challenges Drama to step into the octagon to settle things. Liddell demands that Drama fall to his knees and beg for mercy, an option that Drama quickly opts for. Just as the beating is about to begin, the Iceman quietly whispers "Gotcha."

17. The Return of the King
It's Yom Kippur, and while Ari attempts to gain forgiveness for his sins, he runs into 'Medellin' co-producer Nick Rubenstein at his temple. Nick drops the bomb that the biopic is back in play and that they'd like Vince to step in. The only issue? The studio needs an answer from Vince before sundown - and coordinating a deal on the high holy day won't be easy. Ari contacts Amanda, and she agrees in principle to the deal, but Nick's offering half Vince's usual quote. Amanda hesitates to work with Ari on coming to terms, and the crew begins to suspect that she's trying to sabotage the deal for some unknown personal reason.
To take their minds off work, Vince and his crew lay down their troubles - and their wallets - at the track. Drama's "lock" of a horse finishes as an also-ran, and Vince's brother cringes at the thought of "King" being done away with due to his lack of speed. To save King, Drama purchases the horse, giving him a new home on Vince's front lawn. Unfortunately, Drama soon realizes that boarding a horse is wildly expensive, losing thousands of dollars to food and the required permits. After King takes a brief trip outside Vince's gates, Drama gets a few hefty fines and realizes he has to give up his horse. But, instead of sending him to the glue factory, Drama passes King off to Ed Burns as a "gift" for Ed's kids.
As the deadline for 'Medellin' approaches, Eric makes the call to track down Ari and finish the deal, bypassing Amanda entirely. Eric and Vince think they've locked things up, but after all the delays, the project is officially off the table for Vince. Believing Amanda mishandled the situation and cost him his dream project Vince confronts her over dinner. She explains that Nick Rubenstein was the one who actually killed the project by constantly hounding the EP on the holiest of days. Vince is embarrassed by the truth, but he's even more shocked when Amanda walks away, dropping him both as a client and as a boyfriend.

18. The Resurrection
'Five Towns' is about to debut, and Drama is doing everything he can to avoid seeing any reviews for his new series. He swears to spend the entire day relaxing, but instead he finds himself agonizing over the pending premiere. To release the tension, he hits an Asian "massage parlor" but ends up seeing a copy of Variety as his masseuse gets down to business. He gives in and reads the review of his performance, freaking out when he sees he's been panned.
Vince and Eric tell Ari they'll return to Miller Gold on one condition - that he delivers 'Medellin.' So, Ari sets up a meeting with super-producer Joe Roberts to try to sell him on the project. Roberts agrees to make Medellin happen, but he has a condition of his own: Vince must agree to FINALLY appear in 'Matterhorn.' Vince refuses to do "Matterhorn", and he and E hatch a new plan - to buy 'Medellin' and make the film themselves. Rather than enter a bidding war, Roberts backs out of 'Medellin,' allowing Vince and E to acquire the script for $5 million.
As a consolation gift for Drama, the crew fixes up his car. While picking up the ride, Turtle falls for Kelly, the daughter of the repair shop's owner and the female version of himself. Against all odds (and with only vague approval from her father), Turtle gets her phone number. However, the car repair backfires, sending Drama further down the spiral of depression because he sees it as ANOTHER thing he has to rely on his brother to do for him. Drama hops in the car and drives off into the night, ending up at the Grand Canyon. The next morning, he finally decides to answer Vince's calls and is shocked to hear that 'Five Towns' drew 16 million viewers to become a certified hit. Johnny Drama has finally become a star.

19. The Prince's Bride
With Vince's mansion hawked to pay for the 'Medellin' script, Ari rushes him and E to meet a shady prince interested in financing the flick. The deal looks promising, but complications arise when Vince picks up a sexual vibe from Prince Yair's wife, Nika. Drama, riding the wave of his TV success, receives a summons to Brett Ratner's mansion, only to realize the director's assistant plucked the wrong name from the 'Five Towns' credits - he wanted Drama's teenage co-star. Johnny refuses to leave the house without a role, so Ratner dangles a bit part as a bus driver to lure him out of the pool.
Turtle lands a date with his dream girl, Kelly, but his plans slowly crumble beneath her family's intrusions and officially die when her dad, Rufus, chases him off. Vince has better luck with Yair, who literally serves a check on a silver platter - with one caveat: Vince must go upstairs have sex with Nika. With the offer on the table, the prospective financier joins Ari and E for billiards, leaving Vince to consider the dilemma looming above him.

20. Adios, Amigos
With only a few boxes separating Vince from his new home at the Mondrian Hotel, his buddies hound him for declining Prince Yair's indecent proposal to fund "Medellin" - maybe because the rest of the crew's new digs don't look so luxurious. E moves in with Sloan despite his friends' warnings against "planting a flag," while Turtle and Drama kick off their apartment hunt with a studio slum. A call from Shauna forbidding Drama to taint his brother's image by living like a "transient crack whore" sends the pair to a $1.4 million condo that, through the sly art of negotiation, Drama buys for $1.5 million.
As Johnny sets himself up for a fiscal disaster, Vince and E solve one when Nick Rubenstein decides to finance the flick with his freshly released trust fund. Too bad he's offering less than half of what the studios estimated the budget would be. In a stroke of genius, E taps Walsh - who's been trying to "bring the class back" to porno - to direct 'Medellin' on a shoestring budget. As the crew pours champagne to celebrate E's first production, Walsh calls to drop the inevitable bomb: He plans to shoot the entire film in Spanish. Raising his glass, Vince shrugs it off, positing, "It could work."

1. Welcome to the Jungle
At long last, Vince and his comrades have arrived in Colombia to shoot 'Medellin.' A documentary crew captures the action, most of which occurs behind the scenes as Walsh steadily unravels. When Walsh demands 1,000 extra soldiers, assaults the director of photography, and confesses that he doesn't have an ending for the script, rookie producer E rushes to hold things together.
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Walsh confesses, "Too many sets, too many extras, too many explosions. I'm melting down." E reassures him, going so far as to hire an Academy Award winner remove the pressure or writing the ending. But, before the writer arrives - and after E pays him 275k - Walsh rewrites the entire script, complete with the finale his masterpiece deserves. As explosions on Pablo Escobar's compound punctuate the last day of shooting, the narrator asks Walsh whether he thinks he made a good film, and the director replies, "Till I see the final cut, I have no idea. But you know what, neither does anybody else."

2. The First Cut Is the Deepest
Vince and company return to L.A. after an Italian vacation that wiped out the last of their funds. Drama volunteers his new condo for his baby bro's "welcome home" party, which Turtle slowly escalates from intimate gathering to all-out rager. While Drama scrambles to party-proof his pad, hiding furniture and padlocking the bathroom, Vince and E meet with Ari to decide which job to take next. Ari delivers the bad news that the industry has placed Vince on death watch; no one will sign him before seeing 'Medellin' in case the film bombs a la 'Gigli.' But Ari's problems extend beyond business; some sort of hitch has threatened his son's admission into the Briar Country Day School, which his daughter already attends. After charming, threatening and bribing his way to an answer from the headmaster, Ari finds out his cell phones and swearing have driven the school over the edge, and blackballing the son is the only way to expel the father. Ari yanks his daughter from class on his way out.
Vince and E try to speed up the 'Medellin' release with a visit to Walsh - who's wearing the only cut around his neck - but the director tears off on a motorcycle to avoid showing them the film. After a day spent hunting for him, E calls from Vince's party and shames Walsh into screening the movie. As soon as Vince and E leave the condo, Drama ejects the entire crowd, which resettles in Vince's hotel room, a venue Drama couldn't care less about destroying. Walsh sweats out the screening by performing calisthenics in the hallway, but after the flick Vince and E congratulate him on a job well done. On the way home, E asks Vince, "You didn't really like it, did you?" Vince says he thought it was great, but E tells him, "I thought it sucked." A call from Turtle interrupts the conversation. Anthony Michael Hall has urinated off of Vince's balcony, and the hotel management didn't exactly appreciate it. Adding "homeless" to their list of "broke" and "unemployed," Vince and E head to Drama's condo to sleep it off.

3. Malibooty
In a major role-reversal, Vince and the guys are crashing at Drama's place. While Turtle tries to identify the senior Chase's whacked-out health food - "What's a psyllium husk, anyway?" - the man of the house returns, offering bagels and good news. Donna Devaney, an L.A. party girl from Drama's surprisingly lengthy past, has finally agreed to hook up with him. Plus, she has a hot friend for Turtle. Vince and E aren't sitting so pretty with the Medellin cut, so E tries giving Walsh some notes to spruce up the film. Predictably militant about protecting his vision, Walsh won't cooperate, and making things worse, has already sent a print to the Cannes Film Festival. E runs to Ari for a solution and settles on the option to ditch Walsh by selling the movie to Harvey Weingard.
Vince rolls with his brother and Turtle, promising not to steal their thunder, and they couldn't be more thrilled when he hops out at a stop light to join a random hottie in a convertible. She takes him to the home of her "family friend" to go swimming, which turns out to be Dennis Hopper's beach house. Hopper and his buddies tempt Vince into placing a $100,000 bet - that he can't cover - on a soccer game. The future holds less uncertainty for Drama and Turtle; their cougars are ready to pounce. Too bad for Turtle, Donna's "hot" friend Marjorie is twice his age, not to mention twice his size. But, in a typical turn of Drama's luck, Donna decides at the last minute to opt for Turtle, leaving Drama manhandled by Marjorie in the hot tub. Vince's soccer win comes through, infusing him with some much-needed cash, but he and E still differ on the direction they want to take 'Medellin.' When E says Harvey made an offer of $25 million, Vince throws him for another loop: Cannes accepted the film. "Maybe you should watch it again," Vince tells him.

4. Sorry, Harvey
Trapped between a trip to Cannes and volatile studio head Harvey Weingard, E can't even enjoy some pampering at The Shave without Ari calling to jump on his back: "You sold a movie you weren't in a position to sell." E assures Ari he'll sever the deal with Harvey. Hanging up, Ari meets M. Night Shyamalan in person to pick up his latest screenplay, which the paranoid filmmaker expects him to read that night. At Drama's condo, the elder Chase has hatched a plan to schmooze the mayor of Beverly Hills into annexing his condo into 90210 territory – but he needs Vince to lend some star wattage to his carousing with the mayor, who hopes a touch of celebrity will raise his odds with the ladies. Meeting Harvey for dinner, E starts to see his own odds – for survival – slipping through the cracks as the exec berates the waiter and contemplates fighting a nearby guest.
Restaurants aren't treating Ari well either. When a Morton's valet accidentally gives his car – along with the Shyamalan script – to a stranger, Ari tracks down his ride using GPS. A 140 mph speeding ticket lands him in jail on the way home, but at least he has plenty of time to read. Out for drinks at Winston's, Drama manages to hook the mayor up with a hottie without Vince's aid but receives bad news when the bouncer says she's a tranny. The good news? The mayor doesn't care. With Drama's zip code all but updated, he shifts his attention to the awkward ballet unfolding around Harvey, who's come along with E to "celebrate the sale." Neither Vince nor E has the cojones to break off the deal, especially when Harvey works himself into a lather over a botched drink order. As the bouncer drags him out of the bar, Drama – elated in his victory – steps in to do the deed: "You can't buy the movie. Sorry bro."
The next day Ari, haggard but prepared, meets Shyamalan in his office only to find the filmmaker has rewritten the script. "Here, read it," he tells Ari. "I'll wait." It seems Drama has wasted the previous evening as well when Turtle shows him the latest gossip online: a video of the mayor escorting his "lady" to the car, which ends in a Britney-esque crotch shot – and two nasty surprises. "Don't know how much longer he'll be mayor," Turtles remarks.

5. Sorry, Harvey
Drama brings the crew to Barney's to scrape a few years off his look. While he preens in a leather jacket, Vince and E run into Snoop Dogg on their way to the store's restaurant. The rapper compliments them on the 'Medellin' trailer, which he saw leaked on YouTube that morning. Vince and E take the news in stride, but when they meet Walsh at the restaurant, he freaks and blames E for the disclosure. The argument escalates to vulgar insults and ends in a table-scattering scuffle. While E grapples with his director, Drama sees a customer wearing a "California Homegrown" hat that he must have. His quest leads him to a medical marijuana facility, but he's barred from entering without a prescription card. Naturally, Turtle knows a guy and hooks Drama up with a doctor to remedy his "anxiety disorder." Leveraging his diagnosis to buy the hat – and the maximum pot dosage allowed by law – Drama heads to the 'Five Towns'set. But, his cast mates are less impressed with his polished image than the dank he scored, leading to a real re-visitation of his youth, ripping bong loads in his trailer.
Fistfights notwithstanding, the 'Medellin' leak turns out to be a blessing: Ari's office has been flooded with calls looking to cash in on Vince's sudden marketability. But, the agent promises Vince he'll convince Dana Gordon, who's back on top after Ari got her fired from Warner Bros., to attach Vince to a mountain-hiking story called 'Lost in the Clouds.' Also, Elvis Mitchell from Interview magazine is in town to meet Vince, E and Walsh about the genius behind 'Medellin.' The trio makes it through the meeting without a meltdown, but afterward, a shirtless Walsh (complete with a monstrous 'Medellin' tattoo on his back) chases E's Aston-Martin down the street. Swearing he'll never speak to the director again after the release of 'Medellin,' E takes a call from Ari who's sold Dana on his dream team: "Who wants to climb Mount Annapurna," he asks. "Vinny stars, E produces, Walsh directs. Boom."

6. The WeHo Ho
Vince has finally landed some work with 'Lost in the Clouds,' but E threatens to derail the "package deal" when he calls Ari to boot Walsh off the pic. Ari tricks E into meeting the director at his office to make nice – which actually happens when Walsh apologizes for blaming the 'Medellin' trailer's leak on E. As it turns out, his editor's betrayed girlfriend uploaded the video to exact revenge. E and Walsh shake hands, but Ari finds himself mired in another sour relationship when Lloyd's breakup with his boyfriend, Tom, leaves the assistant too heartbroken to work. With bungled schedules and general chaos shrouding the desk outside his office, Ari takes the logical approach: He visits Tom at work to mend the breach. Tom says Lloyd cheated on him, but Ari covers his assistant's tracks by swearing they'd been together on the night in question. Tom buys it, but when Ari calls Lloyd to deliver the good news, he includes a warning: "I love liars, but I hate cheaters."
Drama and Turtle have concocted a scam of their own, buying into a shady investment with Turtle's cousin Ronnie, whose father's obsession with Sandy Koufax has unearthed some lucrative info. Apparently, Koufax hasn't left his house in weeks, meaning the game jersey Turtle, Drama and Ronnie intend to buy at auction will skyrocket in value after his imminent death. Ronnie backs out at the last minute, unwilling to profit on the demise of his father's hero, so Drama picks up his end of the $62k tab. As Drama collects the goods, the auctioneer informs him that Koufax couldn't appear to sign the uniform because his schnauzer, which had been sick for weeks, just died. But Koufax, thank God, is "healthy as a clam."
While meeting with Dana Gordon about 'Lost in the Clouds,' E realizes – thanks to Walsh's argumentative tactics – that life is too short to deal with the director throughout another shoot. Later, he tells Vince and Ari he'll take to the sideline this time around, but he also warns Vince off the film. Considering his manager's advice, Vince decides to go ahead with the project. "There we go," Ari says. "I'll have a $2 million advance check cut today. How horrible."

7. The Day F**kers
While the guys grab breakfast at Urth, E catches the eye of a hot waitress – too bad Drama calls him out for being incapable of "unemotional sex." When E can't name a conquest he didn't pursue a relationship with, Drama throws down a $5,000 bet that Turtle can hustle a one-night stand before E musters the nerve. Vince matches his brother's action, taking E under his wing at the Mondrian pool, while Drama and Turtle peruse the online meat market of Craigslist personals. Ari, on the other hand, prefers to gamble with his son's future, hiring a private investigator to help blackmail the Briar Country Day School's headmaster, Andrew Preston, into matriculating his kid. Unfortunately, Preston turns out to be a model citizen, reducing Ari to begging on the headmaster's doorstep. Glad to have taught Ari a lesson in humility – and snagging an industry job for his own son in the process – Preston withdraws his barring of the Golds. "The things we'll do for our children," Ari says.
At the Mondrian, Vince attracts a pair of British girls, but just as E starts to settle in with one named Heather, he runs into Sloan, sending him into his characteristic relationship tailspin. Turtle encounters some complications, too, when the hot girl he meets on Craigslist turns out to have a stuffed-animal fetish and a man-sized bunny costume to match. In the end, it's just a little too freaky for Turtle, but Drama opts to take the furry romp as a consolation prize for his lost bet. E breaks down and calls Sloan to "talk about us" but gets back in the game after she tells him she's met someone else. Hanging up, he heads to Heather's room at the Mondrian, and when she asks him what he'd like to do for the evening, he replies, "What would you say if I said let's just blow off the restaurant and order in?" Catching the green light, he closes the door behind him and wins five grand for Vince – if he can keep his hands off the telephone, that is.

8. Gary's Desk
When Eric gets his own office, Vince eyes a piece of antique furniture that also has a rich history, but someone has already gotten his hands on it. Ari preps for a meeting with R&B superstar Mary J. Blige, but has to contend with twin-sibling rivalry in his own office.

9. The Young and the Stoned
Eric gets into a fender-bender with Anna Faris, leading to what he belives to be "a little moment," but in the end, his career is about to change. Ari's wife acts on a soap opera, leading him to try and dissuade her from doing so. Turtle gets prepped for a party by picking up some provisions, and girls, only to encounter the law on the way home.

10. Snow Job
Vince, Ari, and Dana Gordon receive the script for Vince's next project, but Billy's interpretation is vastly different than what he was supposed to write. Vince loves the script anyway leading Ari to try and keep the studio interested. Eric is occupied with a new client and her boyfriend.

11. No Cannes Do
Security issues at LAX strain everyone's hopes of getting to Cannes on time for the Medellin premiere. Mrs. Ari and Lloyd both wish to take the trip with Ari. Walsh writes Eric's new client into his script.

12. The Cannes Kids
After arriving at the Cannes Film Festival, the guys attempt to sell Medellin for a good price, before the movie is even screened. In the end, the film is bought from an unlikely source, at a price that could not be turned down. In the meantime, Drama enjoys his celebrity status, since Viking Quest is very popular in France.
