Entourage 7x07

Entourage, Tequila and Coke, on HBO
Barely dressed girls, tequila, weed, cocaine and you wonder why guys enjoy Entourage? Billy Walsh must be having a hard time staying clean and sober at Vince’s mansion, though. Eric is concerned that Vince is losing his focus on his upcoming movie. He calls Vince in the morning to make sure he isn’t going to miss his next meeting with director Randall Wallace. Sasha gives Vince a quick head before he rushes out. Our reformed Billy is meditating in the front lawn and senses Vince isn’t right. Vince rushes back in, washes his face and gets some coffee. At the meeting, he’s so twitchy, Wallace is certain Vince is on coke. How is he going to repair the damage he’s done? He’s dating a porn star, snorting coke, and promoting tequila!

Ari is still in damage-control mode, hoping to salvage the havoc Lizzie Grant and Amanda Daniels threatened to wreak. He phones Anna Fowler at Deadline Hollywood, who has no idea why he might be calling. She does tell him that Lizzie quit Amanda’s firm. It is one of the greatest moments of the series, seeing Ari genuinely make peace with Lizzie. Not only does he treat her as a human, he admits he had to let her go because his wife was jealous. He agrees to find Lizzie a studio job, and in return she hands him the tapes. Ari is ready to return to his deal with the NFL, but then Barbara Miller (Ari’s business partner) breaks the bad news that the contents of the recordings have been posted online anyway – no doubt by that vengeful Amanda. The NFL deal’s off. How is Ari going to save his career?

Knowing what a complete prick Billy used to be, it is wonderful seeing him excited about his idea for a cartoon featuring Johnny. And it really is hilarious! The show, he pitches, is called “Johnny’s Bananas,” and is about an angry monkey looking a lot like Johnny Drama. Eric is intrigued, but Drama’s insulted – overly sensitive as always. Let’s hope we are going to see this cartoon happen! Meanwhile, Turtle is full of ideas how to make AviĆ³n big Stateside, but is shot down by the owner, who just needs him to convince Vince to become the face of the tequila. The episode is jam-packed with celebrity cameo appearances, too, including Mark Wahlberg (who is a co-executive producer of the show), Lenny Kravitz, and Sean “Diddy” Combs.
