On tonight's episode of Entourage, Drama prepares for his big appearance on The View. He postpones his breakup depression and recovers quickly from a hangover in order to turn in a perfect performance. Ari tries to convince Eric that he can get a better deal for his indie writers but Amanda puts a solid offer on the table. Eric gets put in a tough spot when the writers ask him to start a bidding war to get their film made. A studio owner asks to buy the film but doesn't want Vince attached. He offers the writers 350K and Vince an Executive Producer credit as a sign of good faith, but Ari turns him down. With 5 meetings left, Ari insists that Eric not sell the script until they have all of the offers.

Previously on Entourage, Drama was brooding over his breakup with Jaqueline while Vince's accountant Marvine pressured him to get a job. The boys head to Shauna for help so she lined up a Sweet 16 gig for Vince. However, when the birthday girl's mother insisted that Vince sit on a thrown of ice, he refused, forcing Shauna to step in and negotiate the terms. Ari was thrilled about Mrs. Ari's anniversary gift which came in the form of a new Ferrari but lost a drag race bet to Adam. Moreover, Eric secured Amanda and Ed Norton's interest in his new clients' script while Nine Brave Souls morphed from indie flick to Ridley Scott studio film called Smokejumpers. You can read a more detailed recap in this article.
Read on for a preview of this week's episode of Entourage.

On tonight's episode of Entourage, the guys make a pact to help Drama through his break up. Over at the Gold residence, Ari's wife surprises him with a brand new car for their anniversary. Vince's accountant, Marvin, tells him that he's officially broke and needs to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy. He doesn't want to file so Marvin suggests that he gets a job - fast. While heading to work, Ari sees rival agent Adam Davies at a light and the two decided to break out the rulers and drag race through the streets of Hollywood. Unfortunately for Ari, Adam makes him eat his dust, making sure to flip him off as he speeds away.

I love TV comedy. For me, there's nothing better. Good comedy is always, always hard to come by. It's forever hit and miss, the bad comedy consistently overwhelming the good comedy. The success rate for a comedy of any kind is abysmally low. More fail than succeed. This is nowhere more apparent than on television. But, even so, today's crop TV comedy is very, very good. The Best Comedy category of the Emmys is, as a result, quite hard to predict this year. The nominees are diverse, both in tone and quality – Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, 30 Rock, Entourage and Two and a Half Men. One of these shows will take home a cute little statue this Sunday. Let's take a gander at who the favorites might be.

Previously on Entourage, Vince ran into an old flame as he got back in Los Angeles for business and felt insecure over the fact that every movie he was interest in has been cast and almost everyone has a project they're working on except for him. Additionally, Eric enlisted a rival agent, Jacqueline dumped Drama for his obsessive contact with her, and Ari struggled to come clean with Vince about the unstable status of his career.
In the first two episodes of Entourage's fifth season, Vince's career pretty much hit its lowest point, leaving room for others to shine. But it's safe to assume that he'll soar once again in the coming episodes. The question is: when?

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Vince is not only back in L.A., he's back to business. He won't even head out with Turtle to look for some girls to hook up with because he's so busy reading scripts. At Ari's office, the boys give Drama crap for constantly talking to his girlfriend, Jacqueline. If they're not iChatting, they're on the phone. Eric and Vince find out that every movie they had interest in have been cast. Everybody from Tobey to Leo to Wahlberg has a project they're working on, but not Vince. Eric suggests an indie movie but Ari compares indies to the holocaust: never again. Ari also promises to bring Vince back and twice as strong.

After a whole year off the air, Entourage finally returned last week with enough vengeance and insults to get the show running for what is hopefully a good season 5. The season opener saw Eric (Kevin Connolly) and Ari (Jeremy Piven) deal with the fallout from Medellin's shameful reviews while Vince (Adrian Grenier) and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) laid low in an undisclosed Mexican paradise, and Drama (Kevin Dillon) continued his long-distance romance with Jacqueline but turned into a diva during a photo shoot. You can read more about last week's premiere in this article.

Entourage returns tonight for its fifth season premiere and we haven't heard from the boys in a good year. When we last left them, they were trying to sell Medellin and were getting offers from Yair Marx and Nicky Rubenstein. Harvey Weingard ends up picking up the film - for a dollar - after people booed and walked out of a screening of the film. Though things didn't end well for Eric and Vince, who funded the film, Harvey will still put out the effort to promote the film and somehow turn it into an Oscar contender. Just try to convince Vince of that, though.
