Lourie is delighted to spend the day with Vince and his friends.
Ari (Jeremy Piven) receives a script by M. Night Shyamalan, promising to read the 200-page script for the following day. This conflicts with a dinner with Melissa (Perrey Reeves) and her friend, so Ari rushes the dinner to get back home earlier to start reading the script. However, Ari realizes that his car was mistaken for another; the left the script in the other car, and the new car includes sex toys. Using GPS, he returns to the owner's house in Oxnard. The owner's wife was unaware of his visit to the restaurant, but Ari leaves in his car after finding the script intact. On his way back, he is stopped by a police cruiser for a speeding ticket and spends the night in jail, where he starts reading the script. However, Shyamalan says he disliked the ending and makes him read a new ending he wrote.
Eric meets with Harvey at a restaurant, and while Harvey says he wants to slow down his stress, he warns that he doesn't like people who break his trust.

While surprised, Lourie does not care, confident that they shared a great evening. Harvey gets into a heated argument with a waiter, and he is taken out by security guards. Drama seizes the opportunity to say they won't sell the film to him, causing Vince to state that he will make sure to destroy his career, unclear if it refers to Eric or Drama. The following day, the boys find that TMZ has leaked a video of Lourie's encounter outside the club.
