Ari’s break from Terrance is nearly complete when he negotiates an $11 million severance package–on a handshake. He quickly goes scouting for colossal office space, and is spotted by former co-worker. If Terrance finds out Ari could be opening a competitive shop, Ari is sure to get screwed out of the money.
Meanwhile, Eric can’t get Tori out of his mind. He tries to apologizes to her later for the “cuddling” but ends up creeping her out more He has to see her again at the charity auction Sloan is organizing. Tori suggest another three-way to ease Eric’s mind (no rules this time, she says, if he can convince Sloan). But Eric freaks a little and ends up fleeing the party. Also at the event is the agent who spotted Ari office shopping. He approaches Ari with an offer: He wants a partnership and a million-dollar contract at his Ari’s new agency, or he’ll tell Terrance all about Ari’s big plans. Realizing he’s over a barrel, Ari agrees to take him on. Tori ends up crashing on Sloan’s couch for one more night and tells E she won’t deny the attraction, but thinks Eric shouldn’t let a girl like Sloan slip away.
