This episode of Entourage was a bit slower in pace and a bit slower than any of the other previous episodes of the season. Not a bad episode by all means, but it was just a slight bit of a buzz kill.

That by all means doesn’t mean that it was a bad episode, because compared with the great episodes we’ve been getting this season, it was still a good episode.

The main plot of this episode had Ari dealing with Andrew again who is still dating the junior executive. Ari’s not only worried about this affecting his job performance, but affecting his own marriage as well, since Mrs. Gold has become great friend with Mrs. Klein. Jeremy Piven’s acting is pretty good once again in this episode, because it was less of him trying to be funny and more of him trying to be a good friend and a better boss.

We had a great cameo from David Schwimmer, who was funny once again and it’s really quite funny to see him be some kind of an r-rated Ross from Friends. I also liked how Ari tried to push David Schwimmer towards the junior executive; it’s just too bad it didn’t work how he wanted to.

The other side plots were kind of thin and really were given little time like Vince being bored, because everyone is working and he’s not, or Turtle going school shopping, or Eric deciding to close down his business. All were interesting, but simply pushed to the side and I’m sure each of these will be brought up in the upcoming episodes.

I do wonder though why the writers chose to have Eric close his business and I wonder if there was a different plan for it or if they just ran out of ideas for it. Either way I hope they’re still looking to propel farther and not just keep him stagnant.

Once again this was quite the good episode, but it was just a little slower in pace and excitement. Looking forward to next week when it looks like Sloan will pop back into the picture, because we all know we love Sloan. A good episode, but I’m definitely looking forward to the next episode.
