This episode of Entourage was one of those fun episodes that we’ve gotten a lot of in past seasons, but this season we’re not getting as many as before, which is a good thing. This was a fun episode, but it did a good job in connecting it to the rest of the season, so it wasn’t a total vacation from Entourage.

So Ashley is still around and I still personally hate her. The only redeeming quality about this whole thing is that I’m hoping and praying that Ashley is just a device to bring Sloan back to Eric where she belongs. Speaking of Sloan, it was great to see her back and not really forced on us for no reason. Sloan seems to get around a lot in town, so it felt natural to happen to just be running the golf charity that the boys were going to be. Poor E still hasn’t gotten over his feelings for Sloan because he can’t stop lying about her when he talks to Ashley. E has actually had probably the funniest lines this season next to Ari, so we got another great one when he talks to Sloan and when Ashley asks what she wanted he tells her I don’t know.

Emmanuelle Chriqui as Sloan

That wasn’t the end of the Sloan/Eric drama because Eric ends up playing with someone who’s a huge management boss and wants Eric to work for his company, which seems like a great opportunity for E to finally break off on his own. E ends up not wanting the job after he finds out that Sloan set up the whole thing for him. I thought it was cool when E finally confronts Sloan because she’s really not to blame too much, but she really can’t seem to let E go. It’s obvious that she cares for him, but what’s stopping her from being with him? I’m sure this isn’t over, especially considering he called Ashley Sloan at the end of the episode, so one way or another Sloan is going to be getting in the middle of this relationship.

Everything else in this episode was pleasant also. We had Ari still feeling the repercussions from his wife kicking him out on the couch, but I have to say it all sounds kind of dumb. Ari really shouldn’t be held responsible for his friend breaking up with his wife; I feel sorry for Ari in this case.

Tom Brady, Adrian Grenier, Mark Wahlberg, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Dillon

I especially liked Turtle giving Tom Brady attitude for being a Patriot and then about when he’s about to tell Tom Brady to suck balls. He ends up being charmed by him for the opportunity to come over for dinner. Tom Brady was nice to have on the episode, even though his acting could use some work.  Mark Wahlberg fit in just as well also.

I thought the funniest guest on this episode was Jeffrey Tambor who’s appeared on here before, but his relationship with Ari is always funny. The only thing I wonder is if Ari really did confirm Tambor’s course record or not.

I thought this was a good episode. It was funny and entertaining to watch. It continued the momentum of this Sloan/Eric relationship and I look forward to next week’s episode.
