A recovering addict, Ertz asks Vince's help in resurrecting his career by being part of his new movie idea. Despite their past, Vince agrees to help him as part of the program involves forgiveness.

When Andrew Dice Clay suggests skipping work due to their very low salary, Drama (Kevin Dillon) asks Eric (Kevin Connolly) and Scott (Scott Caan) to help him in solve the problem. Carlos (Miguel Sandoval) tells Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) that he will assign a company to own Avion, praising him for his actions. Turtle is even more disappointed when he learns that Alex is now dating another man. He decides to use his stocks to get his favorite restaurant in the coast. On an advice from Lloyd (Rex Lee), Ari (Jeremy Piven) decides to go on a date with one of Lloyd's friends. However, the friend's roommate ruins their moment and Ari calls Dana (Constance Zimmer) to ask to come over. Dana allows him, and they end up sleeping together.

Despite Yagoda (William Fichtner) warning that test screenings do not always indicate success, Clay refuses to compromise and fires Scott. Annoyed, Yagoda fires Clay from Johnny's Bananas, replacing him with Jamie Kennedy. While Vince wants to help Ertz, Turtle is unconvinced by Ertz, still hating him for their past experience. They visit him at the house, only to realize that Ertz is not interested in Vince's idea and pitches something entirely different. During the argument, Ertz gets angry and locks himself in the bathroom to snort cocaine. As Vince calls him from the other side of the door, an exasperated Ertz opens a drawer, taking out a gun and jamming it to his head. When they hear a gunshot, Vince and Turtle brutally kick the door, horrified at the scene.
