It seems I was getting a little ahead of myself when I declared the fourth season of “Entourage” as one of the best yet. It’s true, the season has been amazing after that overly long (and ultimately eventless) junior year, but enough already with the whole Eric/Walsh blowout. I get that Walsh is a giant prick and Eric is sick of putting up with his crap, but it’s Hollywood – you’re making shit tons of money for doing very little (especially Eric), and yet you still can’t grin and bear it like everyone else? Has Eric ever thought that maybe Walsh doesn’t enjoy working with him? Of course not, because he’s too busy bitching and whining about why he doesn’t like Walsh, how Walsh has screwed up “Medellin,” and how he’s already peaked as a director.

As a favor to Vince, however, Eric has bailed out of his producing duties (which he’ll still get paid for, though) on the new Chase/Walsh collaboration, and will simply operate as Vince’s manager. This is probably a good move for all three of them, but if Eric ends up being right about Walsh, the audience is going to be forced to side with him in every future decision he makes and, well, that wouldn’t be good.

Hopefully, this won’t get in the way of Ari signing Walsh, but I doubt it will since Vince has still agreed to star in the film. Ari, meanwhile, has more important things to worry about when Lloyd up and leaves the agency in the middle of the workday. His reasoning? His boyfriend, Tom, just broke up with him, and he’s simply too depressed to carry on. After a clueless replacement screws up a call from Eric, Ari goes looking for Lloyd in an attempt to get his all-star assistant back in the game. It doesn’t work, however, and Ari is forced to make a visit to the ex to patch things up. What he discovers when he gets there, however, is that the reason Tom broke up with Lloyd isn’t just because of his long work hours (as Ari was told), but because he cheated on him. Ari, always prepared to lie to get what he needs, convinces Tom that Lloyd was with him the night in question, and presto, Tom takes back Lloyd, and Lloyd comes back to work. You gotta love Ari Gold sometimes; the guy knows how to get things done.

And in a very unsurprising turn of events, Drama and Turtle stayed as far away from the main action this week in order to go off and do their own thing. Turtle’s cousin, Ronnie, is in town with a possible investment opportunity involving a Sandy Koufax baseball jersey up for auction. He doesn’t have enough money to seal the deal, though, and so he goes to Turtle for the other half. With rumors swirling that Koufax could kick it any day, it’s the perfect time to swoop up some rare personals to turn around and sell for some serious profit. Unfortunately, after Ronnie bails and Drama steps in to pick up the financial slack, the pair wins the jersey only to discover that the rumors are false. Big surprise, there, and yet another complete waste of time for the comedic duo.
