## Plot

Vince (Adrian Grenier) is awakened in the middle of the night when someone breaks into his house, although he is unable to see the intruder. The following morning, the police inspects the house, but conclude that the intruder didn't take any valuable items from the house. However, Vince and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) realize that Vince's underwear was actually stolen.
Drama (Kevin Dillon) is upset upon learning that Coakley (Matt Letscher) has cancelled his shooting scenes for the day, alarming him that he will be fired. He is also banned from showing up at the studio, and Coakley refuses to speak with him. Eric (Kevin Connolly) begins working with Murray (George Segal) at his agency, competing with his colleague Scott Lavin (Scott Caan) in signing talent. Murray wants them to get Bob Saget, and Eric decides to use his connection to Saget in getting close to him. However, Saget claims he is only interested in being part of the agency if he is allowed to have sex in Murray's office. Eric talks with Murray, but is confused when Murray agrees to let Saget do it.
After speaking with his friends and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Drama decides to sneak into Coakley's office to apologize and explain his personality. Despite Drama having recorded their conversation, Coakley tells him he won't fire him, but suggests he will torture him. He returns to Vince's house, bringing a gun as security. When the gun accidentally goes off, Vince decides to get a new security system, despite having to wait days for installation.

### Critical reviews

"No More Drama" received generally positive reviews from critics. Ahsan Haque of IGN gave the episode an "amazing" 9.3 out of 10 and wrote, "More so than other episodes this season, there seemed to be a lot of genuine character development moments. Vince's reaction to his home being broken into, Eric's handling of his new nemesis at the office, and Drama's predictable apology were all great character moments. Add to this a completely over-the-top performance by Bob Saget and you have the makings of a very strong episode. It's pretty clear that Vince and his career is taking a back seat to his buddies this season, and it's a welcome change of pace. We've seen a lot of Vince over the years, so stepping back and letting Drama, Turtle and Eric take the spotlight has been quite entertaining so far."
Claire Zulkey of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "C" grade and wrote, "I thought it was a ho-hum episode overall, but again, I was asked to think about it so the regular TV viewer in me would have declared it "fine" but as an AV Clubber I have to give it a "meh.""
Emily Christner of TV Guide wrote, "Predictably, his apology turns into another threat when Coakley pushes the wrong buttons, making the situation worse. You didn't think Drama would get himself out of this one without a little more "drama," did you?" Jonathan Toomey of TV Squad wrote, "Eric taking Murray's job offer may be the best thing that's ever happened on Entourage. It's opened up this whole new dynamic on the show and honestly makes things a lot more interesting. Granted, it does push Vince even further into the background of the show, but that's been a steady trend for a while now. I'll put up with anything to get Bob Saget back."
Scott Caan, Bob Saget and George Segal submitted this episode for consideration for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.
