Vince is leaving for Italy to begin filming soon but it seems like he might be going solo…

Drama initially says yes because he’s free without persuing an acting career, but after a change of heart, Drama decides to go in for the Melrose Place audition.  He completely kills it and leaves confident he will not be joining Vince.  Then he suddenly gets a call saying the network loves him… but he’s too old for the role.  Good news is the network wants to create a show for Drama to star in and they’re giving him a nice holding contract in the meanwhile.  Nice.  Drama gets to join baby bro.

With Jamie-Lynn gone, good old Turtle initially lies to the boys about sleeping with the hot co-ed.  We find out later he lied and when he goes back for attempt number two, he’s unable to get into things and is clearly still in love with her.  He decides if she’s not answering his calls, he’s hopping on a 14 hour flight to go visit her in New Zeland.  Right as he’s about to take off, Jamie Lynn calls him and tells him not to come… she doesn’t want to try and make the long distance thing work and she doesn’t want him to give up on making something of his life.  Ouch, he’s stuck on the plane.  When he finally lands, he decides to take another ridiculously long flight to meet up with Vince in Rome.

E is too busy with his real job and persuing Sloan to even consider going.  E decides to surprise Sloan by kidnapping her and taking her to lunch to get her back as his girlfriend.  The lunch ends up going disatrous when she finds out why he took he there after she had to cancel plans and demands he return her.  On the road home, E gets pissed, pulls over, and demands to know why Sloan won’t take him back.  She’s afraid he still won’t commit and would sell her out for the boys again.  He proves he’s ready by whipping out a ring and proposing!  She says yes and thw two head to the airport to say goodbye to Vince.  She offers to let him go with the guys and he goes running up in the plane…. before popping out and saying he’s kidding.  Thank god, we just saw the look on Sloan’s face and it wasn’t pretty.

We meet up with Ari in couples counseling as he’s trying to convince his wife that she should put up $12 million of her own money for him to be able to buy Terrance’s business.  He also needs to convince her it’s a good business deal and he’s not just out for revenge.  After a classic Ari speech, she’s convinced, and the deal can go forward… that is until Terrance throws a last minute wrench into the deal.  He demands his legacy, the name TMA, remains.  Ari finds it a deal buster and walks out on the deal.  

Terrance comes by Ari’s office and actually apologizes for firing him and tells him he wants Ari and no one else to buy it because he knows Ari is the only one that can take his legacy forward the next fifty years.  After the apology, Ari agrees to keep the name and the deal is signed.  Ari heads into the TMA offices with a paintball gun, shooting the people he plans on firing.  Ari fies Davies, but can’t find Lloyd.  Lloyd shows up at Ari’s office to quit, only to find out Ari promoted him to a real Asian…err agent.

Oh, and before we forget to mention it, there’s some silly plotline with Matt Damon creepily tracking Vince down to get some money out of him for some kid’s charity.  He uses celebrities such as Bono and Lebron James to eventually lure him in to give $150,000.  Wow that was lamer than the break in plotline.

Vince and the guys are clearly struggling with the pressure the security team is putting on living at the home.  I mean, someone ate their fruit loops!  Not cool.  E comes to join the guys at the fitting for Vince’s new Frank Darabont film, and Aaron (the new security guy) tells them they have to moving the fitting to his house for secruity reasons.  Frank Darabont (famous director of The Shawshank Redemption) is present at the fitting and encourages Vinnie to head home.  When Frank Darabont speaks, you listen.  Apparently.

The guys get home and they feel cooped up all day.  Drama, who’s in hideous makeup from his Five Towns shoot as a result of pissing off the boss, decides to go reneagade when he finds out the stalker works The Pleasure Chest, a place he frequents.  Drama heads in to confront the jackass.  Meanwhile, Turtle finds out at school from a bunch of giggling girls that they broke into his house to “steal the underwear of Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s boyfriend” for a sorority rush prank.  Drama aborts mission and heads back with way too many bags from the store.

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the lack of an Entourage recap for episode 6.08 “The Sorkin Notes.” I was unable to watch the entire episode, in time, though I’ve since been able to catch the episode.

Having said that, I want to continue by saying OH MY GOD IT FINALLY HAPPENED. After years of taking abuse from Ari, Lloyd has left. He’s quit, leaving Ari stranded high and dry with a new assistant. Why is Entourage such a downer these days? I came out of the episode just feeling depressed that one of television’s best comedic duos has been split up. However, I’m reassured by the fact that it’s almost a certainty they’ll get back together.

The episode starts off with an annoyed Turtle waking up to the new security guys telling jokes and laughing outside his window, rather loudly. Unable to sleep, he begrudgingly gets up, going downstairs to discover that Vince has already been awakened as well. Drama shows up moments later, wearing makeup for his television show because he has a shoot that night, and he doesn’t want to endure the painfully tedious makeup process again. He’ll be wearing the makeup throughout the day — and it’s of a battery acid burn covering half his face. “You’ve got two bad sides now,” jokes Turtle.

Meanwhile the head security honcho shows up with information on the man whose driver’s liscence was found in his couch. The man, Curtis Tucker, was apparently a childhood arsonist, though never convicted. Vince is reassured that he needs the security guys.

Meanwhile, Turtle calls Eric so that he can accompany Vince to the fitting. Eric’s in bed with Ashley, and due to Drama’s inappropriate comments is very terse on the phone. Ashley questions him afterward, grilling him on who called. He convinces her that it was Turtle and Drama, but she still checks his caller ID after he leaves.

Meanwhile, Ari greets Lloyd with the news that Adam Davies has been promoted to the head of his talent agency. As a gift, Ari steals Zac Efron from Davies and takes him on as a client. Efron is happy to be Ari’s client as long as Ari buys him a car, though he is disturbed by the mother who is following him around, much to her young daughter’s chagrin.

While at the fitting, Eric shares with his friends Ashley’s insecurities, but they tell him that he simple needs to earn back her trust. When director Frank Darabont shows up, he is startled by the security guys around them, but when Vince tells him about the stalker threat, he becomes serious, telling him about an incident that happened after The Shawshank Redemption, where he was forced to shoot someone who threatened him. He offers Vince a gun, but after remembering the incident with Johnny shooting out a window, Vince turns him down. He instead returns home to finish the fitting there.

Adam calls Lloyd to offer him a job as an agent. Lloyd, however, feels like he’s being used, and he declines, though he begins to reconsider after suffering numerous abuses from Ari.

Meanwhile, the head security guy has found out that Curtis Tucker, the stalker suspect, wrks at a Please Chest sex store, a place that Drama is very familiar with. He calls a cashier there, and she tells him when Curtis will be coming in to work, and Drama vows to be there then.

Lloyd finally tells Ari that he recieved a job offer, and when he tries to make sure he and Ari are still on the right track, Ari begins adding days to Lloyd’s fifty remaining days, and begins increasing Lloyd’s workload, eventually causing Lloyd to leave after an accidental car accident with Ari’s car.

Meanwhile, Ashley calls E to ask where he is, because he isn’t at work, he’s at Vince’s. Drama, meanwhile, confronts Curtis at the Pleasure Chest, though Curtis has no idea what Drama is talking about. Turtle, having discovered that the break-in was a sorority prank in order for a group of girls to wear Jamie-Lynn Seigler’s boyfriend’s underwear, finally reaches Drama to inform him, and Drama discovers that Curtis’ liscense was in the couch because he was the former owner of the couch.

Ari meets his replacement for Lloyd, Craig, and is abusive to him as well, claiming to have killed Lloyd. As Craig leaves and begins his new job, Ari stares over at Lloyd’s empty desk, ending the episode on a sad note.

Poor Andrew wakes up in his pajamas on the couch in Ari’s office.  When Barbara sees him in the office in his pjs, she tells Ari that she’ll fire Andrew if he doesn’t sign Aaron Sorkin that day.  Ari tries to tell Andrew, but finds out he’s not in the office.  Apparently he went home to collect his Sorkin notes, but can’t get into the house and gets in his car, ready to head back into the office.  When Marlo sets the notes on fire, Andrew goes nuts and turns the car and drives into his house.  Ari is busy trying to delay Sorkin in the meeting, but when Lloyd announces Andrew is in jail, Sorkin and Ari head to jail.  A pitiful Andrew is reduced to tears, and Sorkin, who apparently also had a nasty divorce, agrees to sign with Andrew.

E is busy working hard at the office when he receives a phone call from Sloan, which he cuts short.  The boys convince him to call back and he does, setting up a friendly meetup for drinks.  When E arrives there, he gets a call from Ashley who apologizes and misses him.  He decides to tell Sloan, he’s not interested in being toyed with and missing a chance with a girl he potentially likes and blows Sloan off.  Go E.  Glad you finally grew something between your legs.

Meanwhile, the incredibly exciting main plot of the show, involved Vince hiring some Israeli security guy recommended by Ari.  The dude runs some drills, set up a $100,000 retainer, and manages to find the license of the stalker wedged in the couch. It’s some creepy looking dude.

Vince wakes up in the middle of the night and hears a strange sound coming from downstairs, finding one of his doors open.  When Arnold does nothing, Vince calls the cops and decided he needs to take security seriously.  Ari recommends Vinnie bring in his security guys, but the boys instead to pick up some guns.  When the jackasses play with their new toys at home, Drama ends up shooting a door and the guys opt for the security crew.

Meanwhile, E begins his first day at Murray’s office and instantly finds himself at home when Murray says he wants the firm to land Bob Saget, who E, of course, knows from previously being neighbors with him.  As a result, he sees some resistence and competition from fellow manager, Scotty, who’s been trying to land Saget for months.  E manages to get Bob to come in and tries to help Scotty land the account, but Bob only wants to deal with him.  He’s willing to sign with E under one condition… he can nail his girl in Murray’s office.  Murray agrees and congratulates Eric on a great first day.  We’re also introduced to E’s hot new assistant at the office played by Kate Mara.

The episode, however, definitely belonged to Drama, as evident by the title.  Drama spent the episode desperately trying to get back on the studio’s lot, only to find out that Coakley gave direct orders not to let him in.  Eventually he bribed the security guy with a gift basket that included three iPods, but most importantly, cupcakes from Sprinkles.  When Drama finally gets in front of Coakley, he begs for forgiveness but tries to record Coakley repeating his lines about Jamie Lynn.  He realizes Drama is wearing a “wire” and exposes him.  In the end, Coakley tells him he’s not going to fire him due to resistance, but instead will just torture him.

Ari: What I’m capable of doing and what you’re capable of doing are two totally different things.
E: So what would you do?
Ari: I would make a scene of biblical proportions. I would lie, scream, beg, borrow, and steal. If that somehow didn’t part Amy Miller’s legs then I would call racism and I would yell for all to hear: “you’re really gonna fire my poor black client off the show he CREATED? I’m calling the NAACP, The Reverend Sharpton and the ghost of my man, Malcom X!”
E: Awesome. Guess I’m gonna try my own thing.
