We now have Turtle starting his first day of school, which is good, because it means the writers seem set on having Turtle carve out a niche for himself.  This was a good episode, but it did bother me that we didn’t get spend a ton of time with Turtle at school, but what we did get was pretty interesting too.

Vince decides to go with Turtle to school since he seems not to have very much to do this season, which is good thing. Fortunately Vince found someone to play with in the form of a hot co-ed. The main plot of this episode though had Drama filming his scenes of Five Towns with Jamie-Lynn. A studio exec decides to take her out for lunch and after being told that the executive is known for having sex with stars he takes to lunch, Drama does some spy work.

Kevin Dillon as Johnny ‘Drama’ Chase

With all that goes on with Entourage, I think often times we forget how close these four friends are and this episode shows it as Drama does everything he can to help Turtle not lose his girlfriend. Of course you would think that doing this would mean that he doesn’t think Jamie-Lynn can resist.  This all ended with Drama physically choking his boss and afterwards being terrified that he would get fired. This episode is probably the one that defines Drama the most as a good friend and I liked it. Of course now it looks like Drama might be out of a job, so we’ll have to see next episode if he can fix what he’s done.

The title of this episode is “Murphy’s Lie” and Eric told a big one.  The last couple of episodes everytime Sloan calls he feels compelled to lie to Ashley. He also hasn’t told her that Sloan is also the one who helped him get his job.  It looked like things between him and Ashley were over until Ashley listens to his voicemails which had Sloan calling him. Now Eric seems free and he’s admitted to himself that he still has feelings for Sloan. I’m glad this Eric and Ashley mess if over for now, but we’ll have to see if he can make things happen with Sloan.

We also can’t forget about Andrew Klein whose wife comes up to the agency looking for the person Andrew cheated with. It was nice to see Ari get out of the doghouse because we do love Mr. and Mrs. Gold as a couple. Of course now Ari has to deal with his mad wife and he also has to deal with Andrew. Andrew seems to be screwed now because not only is his marriage over, but his fling is over also. Now it looks like Andrew is going to have to find a way to worm his way back into his own marriage.

I did like this episode, was a bit disappointed that they used Turtle being in school as a way to keep him off the show because I would really like to see how school life is for him. This was a good episode and it looks like next week we’ll be seeing Drama try to fix his situation and Eric start his new job.
