Vince may still get a break now that the studio is launching Queens Boulevard commercially, but he agrees with the director their re-cut is artistic murder. Johnny has an Edward Burns pilot audition, but throws a ridiculous tantrum, during which his car is stolen, so he isn't even on time. Now Terrance has signed Ari's settlement, he sets up his agency. As soon as Terrance finds out about the agency, he decides vindictively to stop payments and litigate regardless of cost. Just when people discover they won't be paid, probably for months, Terrance's ex offers Ari a way out.

Eric insults Ari, who therefore matches him with has-been super-producer Bob Ryan. Drama is driver for one day, as Turtle is supposed to sign his discovery's record contract with Sammy Kane. Alas, star Saigon doesn't show up. The boys track him down, only to face more problems. Meanwhile Vince enjoys a lazy day with his girl-friend, who has a sassy secret.
