This week's episode was pretty funny. And it again actually included some plot. Though that didn't really go anywhere, and the ending with Anna and E didn't make much sense since they didn't really explain it much. But this episode had some great lines in it:
Billy: "Somebody grab my fucking luggage?" Drama: "Got a lot of bags, Billy? I like a lot of wardrobe choices too when I'm travelling abroad." Billy: "I got one bag, Drama, you fruitcup. But I took 3 Ambiens and I can't lift my arms." Turtle: "Haha, fruitcup."
Ari's got Lloyd jumping for joy
The mess on Ari's hands between his wife and Lloyd was quite good too. It gave all three of them some funny moments. It's always hilarious when Lloyd gets excited and/or Ari's being nice to him. Probably at least partly because you know with Ari involved that it's not going to last long. "Lloyd, Lloyd...come on, it was a numbers thing...you heard. I couldn't have done anything. Where are you going?" "To unpack." "Unpack?, you couldn't have even packed yet!" "In my mind I did, Ari."
Ari's not pleased
E was being ridiculous as he has been in the past about his opinion of Walsh's script. I don't know how Vince convinced him to lie and say it was good when he just said to convince him that he had tried to get Anna to like it. At any rate it makes no sense that he both got fired and isn't dating Anna. How'd he screw up both of those things? Maybe they felt it was necessary since the season is about to end, but that seemed very poorly resolved.
Billy manages to be unannoying, and even funny at times
And finally, Turtle and Drama were pretty funny on their pointless "sweep" of the airport. It was really pretty hilarious to see Kanye show up at the end and end up getting them all to Cannes.

I liked this episode. It was good where they were taking Eric's career and interesting how they were making Vince be a baby about his career. His loyalty to Billy is a little much. How cool would it be if Medellin bombs at Cannes and they have a huge argument? Ari and Lloyd were good as always.
Agreed about the ending between Eric and Anna. They're not so good at ending things on this show. What happened to Sloane? They never really got into it.
