HBO – Entourage Season 5 – Episode 5 – “Tree Trippers”

Wow.  Vince, Drama, Turtle, Eric, and Ari taking shrooms in the middle of the desert was unexpected amazing entertainment.  This episode was a nice break from the drama that is currently ensuing on this season of HBO’s hit series Entourage.  I loved it. In the beginning of the episode, Johnny Drama proposes that they go to Joshua Tree National Park to find guidance pertaining to Vince’s struggling career.  Vince has reached a crossroads in his career.  Does he take the money and do Benji, or does he wait and continue to struggle?  The episode is pretty intense as each character handles their mushroom experience differently.  Ari disappears to make a phone call to his wife but gets lost in the desert.  Eric forgets how to talk, and the others just go a little crazy.  Meanwhile, Lloyd decides to throw a party at Ari’s house since he and his wife are on their respective vacations.  Vince decides that Benji is the best bet but reluctantly changes his mind when he sees a group of firefighters on the side of the road.  The episode ends with Ari’s wife returning home to find a big gay party in her backyard.
