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.

Drama can't unwind for his first day on set as Ed Burns makes his part more challenging. The sting of the problem proves the solution. Meanwhile Turtle wants a pair of exclusive Fukijama sneakers, without standing in line early. Vince initially refuses to ask a celebrity favor, then accepts to do something special himself, in vain. Turtle gets a great surprise, the other boys an uppercut when Ari's trick to dump Bob backfires.

In his battle with Vince's agent-lover Amanda, who seems to overplay her hand for Arthur Gatoff's 'Bogota' movie, Ari uses the pardon on Yom Kippur and ex-alcoholic Nicky Rubinstein's family. Alas Ari's wife refuses to let him break Sabbath restrictions to help out Nicky. It gets the boys doubt if she sabotages it to keep him in California and counter Ari, so E gets Vince to turn to Ari themselves. Meanwhile Vince has taken the boys to the race track and bets on King's ransom, which loses them one. Yet Drama decided to buy the stallion, although no stud but infertile, and an unruly troublemaker on his hands. There are surprising consequences on both fronts.
