Let's first take a moment to thank God for the first Dom-free episode of Entourage in 3 weeks. I didn't realize just how much the big lug weighed down the dynamic of our boys until he was gone (best comment about Dom definitely comes from RealityMonkey: "Dom, the Yankees called. They want their stereotypical fan back"). But Dom wasn't the only problem Vince, Eric and Ari were facing: last week, the bombshell was dropped that Warner Bros. had greenlit the start date for the sequel to uber-successful Aquaman to begin on the same day as Vince's dream project, the Pablo Escobar biopic Medellin (sorry about the massive misspelling last week). What does this mean for Vinnie? Will he not get something he wants?!?! Oh no! But things aren't all messy start dates and contract disputes. Someone else is having a very nice upswing, and for once it's not Vince or Eric. Let's just say his name sounds a lot like Curdle.
Vince is still riding high from Aquaman's boffo box office, so it's no surprise that at the beginning of this episode we see Eric test driving an Aston Martin while on the phone with Ari. Eric and Ari are still trying to work out a way for Vince to be able to do his dream project Medellin AND satisfy the bosses at Warner Bros. by checking into his purple green Aquaman suit for the sequel. I wish I had Vince's problems. All they need to do is set up a meeting with the big boss man at Warner Bros. and get A2 pushed back 90 days. No sweat.

I loved this episode, especially because it was one WITHOUT DOM! I also can't wait for tomorrow's episode.

Thanks for the recap & screengrabs. I had missed the ENORMOUS cross on Penny Marshall- weird.
Great episode.

Umnata, I agree with you. Vince is pretty dumb not to have realized how Hollywood works. Has he never read a magazine in his life? And I mean any magazine. They all do interviews with actors because it sells and actors always bitch about how deals in Hollywood. Oh yeah, I forgot, these boys aren't readers. Enjoyed the recap, thanks.

I guess it's just me but I find the story line about Ari and his daughter pretty boring. Ari and Mrs. Ari story lines are great, Ari and the boys story lines are fantastic, but Ari and his daughter? Eh. Since the bf is out of the country, maybe the daughter will go the same way as Dom.

Ari’s daughter is the Wesley Crusher of this series. With only 30 precious minutes per episode, I always pray for her over-acted scenes to end quickly. That little smart-assed punk she’s dating though, is pretty cool.

Meh. The episode's only good moment was when Vince paused, gave Alan his laser stare and asked for the $20 mil. Cool!
The little rat bastard going after Ari's daughter is better off gone. This little byplay was giving me thillies.
The whole Aston Martin thing seemed out of place. Big Daddy rewarding the tykes for being his? Come on, way over the top! Besides, they almost always go everywhere together, anyway. They should have gone for another cool car like the Maser. Do these guys sign up for 6 month leases, or what?
Medellin will be with us for the whole season, fear not.

Thanks for the mention, Umnata. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't the highlight of my week.
But I must say that I found the best part of this episode to be when Drama references his weight loss to play the bulimic pedophile on the Commish. I'm still laughing at that.

I was just about to protest the comment about Dom/stereotypical Yankees fan and suggest that he's a bit more Mets than Yankees. But then I had a Dom clone sitting in front of me at the Yankees game yesterday, along with his female counterpart. Yikes.

This is the first season I have watched so maybe I'm missing something but, I can't buy that anyone would be attracted to Ari's fugly daughter.
