Marvin the accountant tells Turtle his business is losing thousands of dollars each month and advises him to find a new line of work. When Turtle tries to cut salaries, all of his girls quit.

To squash rumors that he's leaving, Ari calls a staff meeting and announces he's bringing a football team to LA. He reminds everyone that the NFL reputation is "prestigious" so they should watch what they say. Lizzie lobbies for Andrew Klein's job but Ari says no.

Phil Yagoda gets John Stamos interested in playing Drama's brother - they just need to meet. Drama calls Eric with the good news, and Vince tells him to join the party taking place at the mansion. Eric gets Sloan's okay to leave their quiet dinner at home to head to the party - he's worried that Scott has introduced Vince to Randall Wallace. Once there, Eric gets into a shoving match with Scott and breaks Vince's new dinosaur head.
