Entourage 7x10

Entourage, Lose Yourself, on HBO
Just when you think things couldn’t get any worse, for Vince and his Entourage, they do. Ari had hit his all-time low when he scolded Amanda Daniels in front of his wife and the NFL executives. But his life is taking yet another turn for the worse when his wife no longer wants to talk to him. The tension is palpable. Still, he is planning a big surprise party for her fortieth birthday. Even John Cleese is invited, and Christina Aguilera is going to sing Mrs. Ari’s favorite song, “Beautiful.” For his part, Turtle is hoping to get enough money to keep Mark Cuban from purchasing Avión and ruining the family company. But when all else fails, he is able to convince Cuban to invest in the business with no strings attached. Meanwhile Vince is gone missing. Scott is the last person to see him at 4 a.m., when he caused a raucous looking to score some coke. He misses an appointment with Ari and instead shows up drunk at Sasha’s promotion shoot for her upcoming fiveway gangbang flick The Cumback. (Wink-wink, nudge-nudge, get it?) He has an argument with Sasha’s ex and demands she quits doing porn. She won’t let him control her life and he walks out on her.

Then he arrives at the mansion, where Drama has arranged an intervention. Eric is there, Turtle, Scott, Billy Walsh, and even Ari (despite his marital crisis). Vince tells them, “I know you all need me, but I’ll call you when I need you,” and runs away. He ends up at Eminem’s party at the Roosevelt Hotel doing lines. He’s chatting up chicks to sleep with him, and telling off everybody else, insulting Mina Kelly in the process. He refuses to leave when the bouncers tell him there have been complaints about him. Johnny barges in, looking on as Vince gets into a fist fight with Eminem and his entourage. When he later tries walking out of the hospital telling everyone he’s fine – his face is battered and bruised badly – a police officer shows him the bag of cocaine they found on him. Vince is definitely not fine. Ari’s not fine either, as his wife tells him she needs a break. For his part, Scott informs Eric he’s planning a coup at their agency, and after a run in with Sloan’s father, Eric is in, too. This truly was one heck of a great episode, and a fun season. Too bad this was the finale – and too bad there will only be one more season next year. Can’t wait!
