The title of this week's episode of Entourage refers to the Banana Cream Pie that Jason Patric stole from Vincent Chase's (Adrian Grenier) sidekick Turtle (Jerry Ferrara).  But, ultimately, it refers to a lot more......

Vincent Chase lived in a Hollywood that handed him everything when he first made it big.  He had his piece of the pie and then some.  One might even say he had his cake and ate it too. 

Along with his Entourage (Kevin Connolly's Eric Murphy, Kevin Dillon's Kevin Dillon, and the aforementioned Turtle), he had Hollywood on a silver platter.

But, alas, no more.  

In an industry that used to spoonfeed this hot celeb with a silver spoon, Vince has found himself the recipient of sloppy seconds.  And, worse yet, the hand that feeds him has basically told him he is unworthy of his own portion, let alone extras.

It was made more than apparent that Jason Patric, not Vincent Chase, is the star of "Smokejumpers".  From the trailer, to the "stolen lines", plus the director's fear of losing Patric, it was made abundantly clear to Vince that he was second banana on this film. 

Can we trust the director that Vince will shine in the 3rd act, during his "big scene"?  Maybe.  It would definitely seem that he has a vision, and is marginally less crazy that Billy Walsh (note marginally). 

And, I really do feel that Vince is learning valuable lessons this season that will serve him well in years and seasons to come.  I think doing this movie will put him back on track and, who knows, a Best Supporting Actor role may be in the table for this once headliner.  How sweet would that be?

Right now, Vince needs to concentrate on eating his Humble Pie, and getting back on every directors' menu in Hollywood. Then, he will get his just desserts again!!
