Entourage – Season 5 – Episode 4

“Fire Sale” 

The 5th season is now in full swing.  Eric’s script about fire fighters has become a hit in Hollywood.  Ari has finally shown interest and wants Vince in as the lead.  An unanticipated bidding war temporarily pushes Edward Norton’s company out of the running.  Meanwhile, Drama has a guest appearance on “the View”.  Unknown to him, the rest of the cast from 5 towns brings their counterparts to the recording.  On camera, Johnny has an emotional breakdown and tells his lost love how much he misses her.  

Vince and Ari go to all the major studio heads to discuss the script and possible roles to help Vince rebound in his career.  Two things are certain, everyone loves Eric’s script, and no one wants to take a chance on giving Vince a lead roll… except for Benji (the dog movie).

Hesitantly, Vince realizes that his best bet for a rebound would be to take a secondary role in this movie and use this role to rebound.  Ari agrees with Vince’s idea and they agree in principle to sell the script and get Vince his comeback role.  

Eric, excited about selling the script, contacts the writers about the sale.  They are sad to hear that Ed Norton has backed out, but agree to let the deal be closed.  As the entourage is leaving, Eric receives a call from Ed Nortons rep saying that they want to buy the script for twice what Ari had gotten them. 

Like the other episodes of this season, I really liked the tempo the series has gotten back to.  I’m glad we’ve gotten into the juice of the season.  We’re starting to see the conflict that is developing between Vince and Eric as they try to succeed.  Honestly, the boozing Drama was entertaining for a few episodes, but it’s really starting to wear thin.  I get that he’s upset, but an entire season of this Chase brother drinking in every episode will definitely get old.  I’m also glad to see that Eric is becoming a successful player in Hollywood, even with out any help from Ari.  

Will Eric sell the script for Ari or Ed Norton?  Will Vince get a role?  What is Drama going to do?

I’m really excited to see how this is going to play out.
