"Snow Job" is the tenth episode of the fourth season of the American comedy-drama television series Entourage. It is the 52nd overall episode of the series and was written by series creator Doug Ellin and story editor Ally Musika, and directed by Ken Whittingham. It originally aired on HBO on August 19, 2007.
The series chronicles the acting career of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they attempt to further their nascent careers in Los Angeles. In the episode, Ari and Dana try to salvage Billy Walsh's script project, while Eric deals with Anna Faris and her boyfriend.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.77 million household viewers and gained a 1.8/5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received extremely positive reviews from critics, who praised the new storylines and humor.
Dana (Constance Zimmer) contacts Ari (Jeremy Piven) about their deal with Billy (Rhys Coiro), who wrote an incomprehensible script set in a farm in 2075, heavily deviating from the original book. Ari angrily confronts Billy over the adaptation, as he even changed the film's title to Silo. Despite Ari's warning that he could be blacklisted from the industry, Billy is unmotivated to change his idea.
Eric (Kevin Connolly) continues seeing Anna Faris, accompanying her during a photoshoot. However, Eric feels threatened by Faris' boyfriend, Dave (A. J. Buckley), who is suspicious of his motives. Dave constantly minimizes Faris' work, as he is angry that his pilot was rejected by The CW. After Eric tries to calm him, Dave angrily leaves the set. Eric chases him, although Dave is now convinced he is romantically interested in Faris. They return to the photoshoot, where Dave accuses Eric of trying to steal Faris from him. Faris decides to break up with Dave, who angrily leaves.
While Ari tries to salvage the new film, he is surprised when Vince (Adrian Grenier), Drama (Kevin Dillon) and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) love the script, and Vince is confident he has a new hit in his hands. Ari rushes to meet with Dana's boss, Richard Wimmer (John Heard), trying to get him to greenlight Silo. Wimmer accepts as he believes it will be a summer blockbuster, warning Dana and Ari if the project falls apart. Ari and the boys inform Eric of the project, who has been out of the loop for the past hours.
