There were a lot of questions left unanswered after the first half of season three, but if there’s just one that summarizes the last two years of “Entourage” best, it’s this: will “Medellin” ever get made? The on-again-off-again biopic has seen its share of troubles, and with Vince not working a day (the Vegas strip contest doesn’t count) since “Aquaman,” it’d be nice to see him finally get back to business. Of course, it looked like that question might finally be answered in tonight’s episode, but instead, things were only further complicated when Vince’s chances were reignited.
It’s Yom Kippur, and though Ari has promised his wife a quiet day with the family at temple, his attitude quickly changes when he learns through studio brat Nick Rubenstein (Adam Goldberg) that “Medellin” is back on the market. Benicio del Toro has official walked and the producers want Vince for the role. More out of love for their friendship than as a coup to win back his client, Ari informs Vince and Eric of the good news. Unfortunately, Amanda has bumped Vince’s asking price way too high for an indie art flick, making Ari more than a little suspect of Amanda purposefully sabotaging the deal.
Vince and Eric agree, but when they finally take things into their own hands, they learn that the deal has expired, “Medellin” has closed down productions, and the film will never be made. Of course, we already know that this isn’t true, since the preview of next week’s episode (damn you spoilers) shows that the movie is most definitely still going to get made. Except when the deal is finally inked, it’ll be with Ari by Vince’s side, and not Amanda’s. The duo isn’t officially back together, but with Amanda saying her goodbyes after Vince accused her of sabotaging the deal, it looks certain that Ari will be Vince’s agent once again.
That also means Vince can take off that silly “love bracelet” Amanda bought him, which the guys teased him for during their day at the races. Speaking of which, what’s with Drama laying down $5,000 for that horse? I know he was a bit upset to learn it was headed for the glue factory, but couldn’t he have just convinced the guy to donate it instead of paying for it? He certainly learned his lesson when the horse got loose and he was fined more than twice its cost by the police, and though he finally got rid of it in the end, I do feel bad for Ed Burns. Oh well, I guess he can afford it. And if not, it’s off to the glue factory for old King!
