Entourage Episode 2 "Amongst Friends" Recap
Last week we were left to wonder if E would take Sloan up on her offer of moving out of Vince's "frat house" and into his own place. This week's episode begins by answering that question, as we see E and the boys moving all of his stuff into his new place. In the midst of the move E invites Sloan to go to the premiere of Vince's new film The Great Gatsby with him that night, and she says she'll only go as "friends," to which E agrees. After Sloan leaves, E's new neighbor Ashley, whom he had previously hooked up with, comes over to welcome him and basically makes it obvious in the most painfully awkward way possible that she is smitten with E.
Meanwhile Ari coaxes Mrs. Ari into having lunch with his business partner Andrew's wife, so that when the foursome go out for events the men can talk business while the women entertain themselves. While the two wives get along great, Ari discovers that Andrew hasn't been able to keep it in his pants and is having an affair with one of Ari's young female agents. Ruh roh! Bad news bears Ari!
Cut to the premiere. The boys arrive with all of their dates: Vince with his random hottie of the week, Turtle with his girlfriend Jamie Lynn Sigler, Drama with Kelly (one of their usual salesgirls), and E with his "friend" Sloan. This is actually a really great moment, because you see that Vince's star has once again risen to the top, and he is that movie star that he always wanted to be.
At the party, E runs into Ashley (crazy scary skinny stalker neighbor girl) who is really rude to Sloan and makes it even more clear that she's psycho after she found a way to get to the premiere just to see E. E brushes Ashley off and Vince convinces E to tell Sloan that he wants to be with her and that he doesn't want to be just "friends." E pretty much professes his love for Sloan to which she replies that she thought they were just going to be friends, to which E replies that he can't just be friends with her, to which Sloan replies that maybe they shouldn't be friends at all. So E gambled and lost it all, but not quite.After the premiere he gets a call from psychotic neighbor Ashley who apologizes for being rude to Sloan and invites E over at 3 am. E says "why not" and leaves to see Ashley, when he gets a text from Sloan saying "I'm sorry!" Then he deletes it.
End of episode.
Basically...Ari is royally screwed because Andrew cannot and most likely will not keep it in his pants long enough to be successful within Ari's company. I predict that he will drag Ari down with him as he gets even more tangled in the web he has already woven.
E has made an awful decision in going to hook up with Ashley again because she's already a stage 5 clinger...I predict things are going to get even WORSE...Ashley's going to go "Basic Instinct" all over E when he decides to get back with Sloan.
Until next week!!
