Vince takes his recent break-in seriously, and calls in Ari’s security guy, who is rather pricey. Sloan asks Eric to meet her for drinks, but when he gets a phone call from Ashley, he decides once and for all who, and what, he really wants. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin arrives to sign with the agency, but Andrew’s domestic issues threaten to derail the deal, but the outcome is very surprising. Watch Video »
Eric starts a new job, and immediately clashes with a colleague over Bob Saget, who makes a very unusual request. Vince’s home is broken into, and Ari and Turtle seem to be more concerned about it than Vince. Drama tries to make amends with his boss, who just can’t leave well enough alone. 
As Turtle begins his first day at college, Eric manages to fix things with Ashley, who then finds out that he hasn’t been forthcoming. Jamie-Lynn films her appearance on Five Towns with Drama, who suspects that his boss has other things in mind for her. Ari gets out of the doghouse at home, only to be surprised by an agency visit from Andrew’s wife, and Ari is ready to get rid of the problem entirely. 
Vince and Drama team up with Mark Wahlberg and Tom Brady at a charity golf tournament, and Turtle – who’s a Giants fan – is ready to tell Brady his negative opinion of him. Ari – who’s also in the tournament – is in hot water with his wife and a client (Jeffrey Tambor) of his for refusing to talk about his partner’s affair. Eric is surprised by a job opportunity, and even more surprised when he finds out why he got it in the first place. 
With production on his next film delayed for 12 weeks, Vince looks for ways to amuse himself, and Eric is rather bored as well. Andrew claims to have ended his affair with Lizzie, but Ari is not too sure and urges him to think about his family. As Jamie-Lynn takes Turtle out for back-to-school clothes, he gets a request from Drama, one that doesn’t please him too well. 
A disparaging phone call from his mother and two very expensive gifts from Vince and Jamie-Lynn only sour Turtle’s mood on his birthday, so he seeks help from Ari, who helps him realize how to get ahead. Meanwhile, Eric learns that Charlie (Bow Wow) did not test well on his pilot, and knowing that The CW is about to fire him, goes somewhere he’s never been to stop it from happening. 
As the Gatsby premiere nears, Eric asks Sloan to accompany him “as friends,” only to realize that it’s not what he wants. Ari arranges a friend date between Mrs. Gold and Andrew’s wife, and Ari is not pleased when he finds out a secret about Andrew. Meanwhile, Lloyd goes on a crash diet per Ari’s demand, Drama gets a date to the premiere, and Turtle makes his red-carpet debut with Jamie-Lynn Sigler on his arm. 
After his post-Medellin difficulties, Vince is on the fast track once again, as he prepares for a driving test as well as an appearance with Jay Leno to promote his new movie Gatsby, directed by Martin Scorsese. Meanwhile, Sloan presents Eric with the idea of getting his own place, but worries about how it will affect his friends. Lloyd threatens to quit if Ari doesn’t promote him, so Ari counters with a proposition of his own. 
Nearly broke, the guys return to Queens. But thanks to a tip from Vince and Drama’s mom, Rita Chase (Mercedes Ruehl), Eric tries to get filmmaker Gus Van Sant to cast Vince in a role. Van Sant won’t let Vince audition, leading to a confrontation between Vince and Eric; Vince fires him, and Eric returns to L.A. Later, Vince reconnects with his high-school sweetheart and Drama invests in a neighborhood bar. Turtle continues to try to maintain his relationship with Jamie-Lynn Sigler as a secret, despite the guys’ curiosity. Eric’s efforts turn out not to be in vain, as Van Sant forwarded Vince’s reel to filmmaker Martin Scorsese, who calls Vince to say he wants Vince in the lead role of his remake of The Great Gatsby, which will film in New York City. Vince flies back to L.A. to reconcile with Eric in person. 
Despite Vince’s best efforts to film a pivotal scene for Smokejumpers, Verner — who never wanted Vince in the first place — fires him from the movie, forcing Ari and Dana Gordon to try to bring the uncompromising director in line. After receiving an unexpected call from Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Turtle goes back to Los Angeles to spend the day with her. While he doesn’t reveal his encounter to the guys, he does tell Jamie-Lynn his real name.
