Season 3 Episode 16
“Gotcha!”

It’s the morning after Amanda and Vince’s one time thing, and they’re in the tub together, with E trying in vain to get in touch with Vince. Afterwards, Vince sends her flowers. (Yup. Definitely a one time thing.)

Meanwhile, Drama gets into a verbal altercation with UFC champ Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell over a parking spot and ends up in the octagon with him (all part of the long-range, two-fold master plan of Drama’s arch-nemesis Pauly Shore—their history stretching back to Season 2’s “Aquamansion”—for his new hidden camera show, Gotcha).

And on the Ari front, Ari’s frat brother Scott stays over with his hot fiancée and Ari finds himself getting jealous of this ex-loser’s success. The subplot winds down with Ari and Mrs. Ari having hot monkey love anyway, so it’s all good. (It’s great that Mrs. Ari is getting some.)*

Before the episode wraps up, E finds out about Vince’s “one time thing” and ends up talking about it with Amanda, who admits she may like Vince after all. And when Vince hears this, he says he may like Amanda after all too…
I’ll say it again: Complication, anyone?

* Seriously though, it’s one of the great things about this show, Ari’s loving relationship with his wife. I mean, they have problems, but they really do sincerely love each other.

Season 3
Episode 15
“Manic
Monday”

As Mrs. Ari and Lloyd worry about Ari (he’s not eating and he’s sleeping in a little too much), Babs senses something amiss with her partner (he’s “weak” and “nice”; he isn’t himself).
And unknown to them all, he’s tearing up at the sight of wallpaper showing him and Vince in happier times.
An impromptu session on a golf course with Therapist No. 7 (or 5, according to Mrs. Ari) makes shrink and client realize that the break with Vince has really affected him, and that he’s “evolving.”
Of course, Ari doesn’t wanna evolve. He needs his anger and his edge, so he goes back to the office and does what he sees as a wonderful perk of his job: he fires someone.

Meanwhile, Amanda demands face time with Vince to find out why she’s getting the run around, a meeting that gets Vince to admit that he thinks she’s “cute.” And when Amanda confronts Vince and asks whether that means he wants to get in the sack with her, he says “Yes,” and they arrange for a one-time thing, after which, they can return to a strictly agent-client relationship. (At least that was the plan…)
Complication, anyone?
