"Tequila Sunrise" is the fourth episode of the seventh season of the American comedy-drama television series Entourage. It is the 82nd overall episode of the series and was written by series creator Doug Ellin, and directed by Adam Davidson. It originally aired on HBO on July 25, 2010.
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, Drama tries to convince John Stamos in doing the sitcom with him, while Eric competes with Scott over Vince. Meanwhile, Ari continues with his NFL plan, while Turtle goes to Mexico with Alex.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.58 million household viewers and gained a 1.6/5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who noted it as an improvement over the previous episodes.
Eric (Kevin Connolly) is annoyed over Vince (Adrian Grenier) taking offers from Scott (Scott Caan), especially when he already read the script for the Air-Walker film. While Eric likes the script, he is frustrated that Scott has already set up meetings without consulting him. After talking with Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui), Eric decides to patch things up with Scott, who in turn admits his jealousy of Eric.
Ari (Jeremy Piven) tries to part in good terms with Lizzie (Autumn Reeser), but she angrily dismisses his words, warning him she will get revenge eventually. Ari and Barbara (Beverly D'Angelo) then attend a meeting with executives over the plan to expand the NFL into Los Angeles, successfully winning them over. Later, Ari is called by Andrew (Gary Cole), still in rehabilitation, who warns him that Lizzie is planning to use her contacts to go after his clients. In Mexico, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Alex (Dania Ramirez) are taken to a mansion by her friend, Carlos (Miguel Sandoval), owner of an expensive tequila brand. Turtle realizes that they want him to use Vince for their brand, and intends to leave Mexico, although Alex convinces him in staying.
Drama (Kevin Dillon) invites John Stamos to Vince's mansion, hoping to convince him in starring in the sitcom. Noting his ping-pong table, Stamos decides to play with Drama. Drama easily wins their match, prompting an angry Stamos to leave. Yagoda (William Fichtner) admonishes Drama for his actions, as Stamos is known for constantly losing in games. He orders him to make amends, as the network won't move forward with the sitcom if Stamos leaves. He visits Stamos at his club, and they decide to do a rematch, wherein Stamos will agree to the sitcom if he loses. Stamos manages to win the game, although he still intends to read the script. Vince and Drama then leave with Stamos and Scott on a trip to Las Vegas, while Eric is forced to stay behind as he has to arrange his wedding.
