This week's episode of Entourage deals with all kinds of reprecussions most notably from the Eric/Sloane/Tori ménage a trois. You see, Eric woke up all snuggle bunnies with Tori, and not with his girlfriend Sloane, post-threesome. To make matters worse due to Sloane's "rules" he wasn't able to fully, err, release his feelings towards Tori during the bangfest. So now Eric's heads are both filled with unfulfilled fantasies about the hot hot hotttt Tori. Oh poor guy, what is that, like the one fantasy these four guys have yet to fulfill? No tears will be shed for you and your limited FMF experience. But this isn't all that we explore in this ep. We also get a heaping dose of Mrs. Ari and the beginning of the resolution of Ari's firing from last season. Plus, Ms. Melinda Clarke shows up for a few so we can elevate this episode from lackluster to O.C.-tastic!
Eric is the kitchen seeking cuddle amber alert advice from his boys, which is a pretty big mistake. Besides my mother and a priest I used to work with, I've got to think that Johnny Drama and Turtle are the two worst people to seek threesome advice from. Or any advice really. Luckily, Vince is there to also lend some much needed brain power. Okay, maybe not brain power, but perhaps some experience. Being that Vince is currently unemployed and a Hollywood leper - congratulations Ben Affleck, you've been replaced - he is very interested in helping his buddy out. Drama is too, but only really in deriding E for even giving an unsolicited snuggle. It's so unmanly. I can't be the only guy who doesn't mind a good snuggle. Cue swooning female TVgasm readers.
Ari is on his way to meet Terrence, his former boss, about the compensation he requires for basically making Terrence's agency the cash cow it has become. As Terrence is sitting there all sleek silver-haired evil, I remember why Malcolm McDowell was so freaking scary and awesome in A Clockwork Orange. I half expect him to leap out of his chair and start beating people to death while humming "Singing in the Rain".
Terrence makes Ari a lowball, crap offer, which Ari wipes his ass with. Ari bluffs Terrence (surprised her fell for that), reminding him that he's got a rich wife who loves spoiling him and nothing but time. SEE YOU IN COURT GRANDPA! Terrence finally caves and they come to an agreement: $11 million dollars. That seems like a bargain to get Jeremy Piven out of your hair, no?
At the charity event setup for Sloane - which is for like Chihuahuas who have been abused by a Hilton or something - things are awkward for Eric, as he just about messes his pants when seeing Tori. I have to admit that, due to a relocation of my TVgasm office (read: I moved out of my apartment), I didn't catch this episode until just the other night a full 24 hours after the least surprising shock announcement ever: Lance Bass is gay. Now every time I see Sloane all I can think of is this:
Vince, sensing the tension emitting from E, lightens the mood by saying he's willing to do anything Sloane needs to help out with the cause. After all, he once had a Chihuahua that was abused by a Hilton. Sloane, seizes the opportunity and informs Vince that Zach Braff just bailed on being an auctioned off dinner date. Since Vince is the most famous person in the room right now, he'll make an excellent replacement. Oh, best line -
Turtle to Sloane, about the decoration help from Tori: "You guys work well together."
The awkwardness may end when Eric and the guys leave, but the craziness just won't stop. Due to Tori's cool demeanor towards Eric, he is now convinced that he should head over to Tori's hotel to apologize to her. For the snuggle. After their threesome. But whyyyyy, Eric? Why? Why? Why? Well there is no room for reasoning when a hobbit finds love, so he sets off to her hotel to confront Tori about his serial snuggling.

Except for the Ari on Mrs Gold action, I found this episode boring. I just can't bring myself to care about Eric's threesome issues.
Nice recap, though.

Good recap,Umnata. As for Eric's problems: the little troll should just be grateful that he HAS a girlfriend and behave himself.

I am not a huge fan of either Eric or his portrayer, Kevin Connelly . . . a better actor might be able to make something more of Eric's whining and high horse hopping; a better character might appeal more to Kevin's strengths...
Amen Umnata. The character of E and his portrayer, Kevin Connelly, is one of the show's weaknesses. Whenever the show focuses on E, the action slows considerably. The character and the actor are both dry as unbuttered toast. E is slightly interesting in his scenes with Ari or Vince when they are talking about Vince's career. But when the plot turns towards E's alleged hotness and love life, I start to lose interest. Especially if it's as unrealistic as two women as beautiful as Tori and Sloane being remotely interested in E.

How in the hell does Vincent afford his lifestyle? He lost Medellien to Benicio, and totally pissed off the (cue ball) head of a major studio. He may as well be a radioactive leper right now. At this rate, he’ll be filing chapter 11, and driving a Chevy by seasons end.
E is a pussy. Any dude that takes a pass on a no-rules threesome with Sloan and Tori is either gay, or so morally conflicted that he needs to place Brian Wilson’s psychiatrist on retainer. “E” now stands for “emasculated”.

I thought it was Adam Davies instead of Andrew?
