[edit] Plot
Eric wakes up to find Vince standing over his bed and tells him that he cannot sleep and thinks they should fire Ari. Ari is then shown in bed telling his wife he had a dream that Vince was going to fire him today. As a result, Vince begins contemplating whether to fire Ari or not. Vince personally makes a phone call to Ari's office, but Ari realizes that he'll probably fire him, so he tells Lloyd to stall Vince. He does, but does so indelicately, which causes Vince and E to feel even more angry at Ari. Ari manages to set up a meeting with Allen, the head of Warner Brothers but it goes terribly. Meanwhile, Ari gets news of Vince meeting with another agent from Lloyd. Ari calls one of the agencies Vince is scheduled to meet with and, pretending to be E, cancels the meeting. Dana Gordon manages to catch up with him and reveals that Allen is not going to actually film the Ramones project, but is only buying it to anger Vince. She also reveals that the papers for the Ramones Project hasn't been officially signed yet, and to keep this information a secret.
Meanwhile, Vince is meeting with another agent, where Vince feels uncomfortable, while a montage is shown of Coca Cola and other various companies, and want Vince to be a brand name, much like Coca Cola. They leave unsatisfied. Vince has tried several times to contact Ari, but Ari continues to stall. Ari makes his way to Bob Ryan's house but he won't open the door. Finally, he is able to convince him to open the door and tells him that Allen is not going to film the movie, and is only doing this to crush Vince. Bob is stunned, but doesn't believe him. Reluctantly, Ari tells him his source, Dana Gordon. Vince on the other hand, is now trying to meet with the other agent that Ari personally canceled the meeting for. E and Vince realize that Ari is interfering. They head over to Josh Weinstein's office.
At Josh Weinstein's office, E and Vince are impressed with the office overall, and as they head to the board room, they begin to feel something eerily reminiscent, as it would turn out, they had a montage showing various brand name companies as well, and they leave unsatisfied once again. Ari returns back to his office, believing that Bob Ryan is not going to sign the papers, and he tells Lloyd to call Vince. Before that happens, Dana Gordon calls him, and she reveals that she's been fired since she was exposed. Ari now feels there are no more options. He calls Bob to see what happened, Bob says that he went with his instincts, and says he's sorry and tells him that he signed the contract and he's done with Hollywood.
Ari feels that all is done for, but Lloyd manages to keep his spirits up and Ari prepares to call Vince. When he calls Vince, he asks for them to meet personally. Vince feels that they should fire him, but Drama says that Ari is one of a kind, and Vince feels he may not fire him. He goes to Ari's office and they walk into Ari's new boardroom, where Barbara is and all the agents in the company. The screen starts playing yet another montage of various brand name companies like Microsoft, and Vince walks away disgusted. Ari walks out and asks what's wrong. Since Vince and Ari have known each other for a long time, all Vince wanted was an apology from Ari. Vince tells him how disgusted he was and tells him he's nothing different than all the agents. Ari tells Vince he's sorry about the Ramones Project, but Vince walks off and says it's too late. E then turns around and says that he's fired and walks away as the episode ends.
