Ep 2. One Day in the Valley

The show Entourage premiered its third season with the episode named "Aquamansion" which saw the boys adjusting to their new home while also trying to pitch a script to Warner Brothers. This was followed by the second episode of the season, titled "One Day in the Valley".

The episode picks up with the boys walking through a crowded parking lot to attend a meeting with their agent, Ari. The meeting does not go as planned as Ari, who is running late, tells the boys to wait for an indefinite amount of time with no clear end in sight. This leads to the boys venting their frustration in the parking lot. Meanwhile, Ari is doing his best to keep his clients happy by frantically running between meetings with various Hollywood executives.

As the day progresses, the boys decide to take matters into their own hands and pitch their own movie to a producer they meet in a coffee shop. The producer is distracted by his attractive assistant and shows little interest in their pitch. However, as the boys leave the coffee shop, they bump into James Cameron, who shows them just the kind of support they need. The legendary director offers Vince an opportunity that could change his career and life forever.

Meanwhile, Drama is trying his hand at being a personal trainer, but is having trouble finding clients. However, his luck changes when he runs into an old acquaintance, who offers him a job training a celebrity client. Drama jumps at the opportunity, but ends up making a fool of himself at a Pilates class and gets fired in the process.

Turtle is also trying his luck on a different front. He sees an opening in the market for a t-shirt with a catchy slogan worn by an up-and-coming rapper. The boys think the idea is a winner, and Turtle proceeds to invest all his money in the venture. However, things do not go as planned when the rapper backs out at the last minute, leaving Turtle stranded with all the unsold t-shirts.

As night falls, the boys convene once again for dinner. Vince is ecstatic about the opportunity offered to him by James Cameron, but is devastated when he learns of a legal issue that could jeopardize the deal. Ari, always on his toes, reassures Vince that he will handle the problem, setting the stage for the next episode.

In conclusion, "One Day in the Valley" is an entertaining episode that showcases the boys' struggles with their careers, and love lives. It sets up new storylines, while also offering resolution to some old ones. The episode is well paced, with snappy dialogue, and a warm sense of humor. It epitomizes the show's spirit of camaraderie, boldness, and the never-say-die attitude of its ensemble cast.
