On Sunday's night sixth season finale of Entourage, there's an Ari/Lloyd showdown.
There's also drama between Turtle and Jaime; and resolution to the ongoing E/Sloan drama.
But the episode is stolen by Matt Damon, who appears as himself and gets pissed at Vince's lack of committment to a charity he sponsors. It's great stuff. Watch Damon's cameo below:

It looks like actual storylines are coming to Entourage.
While the show has been slogging through its sixth season, giving its characters very few interesting situations beyond just hanging out together, a pair of big developments are on the way.
Courtesy of Korbi Ghosh at Zap2It, viewers can expect to see the following events take place before this season concludes:
It may be hard to believe - partly because so little has actually transpired so far - but the sixth season of Entourage is already halfway finished.
Fortunately, it sounds like the best is yet to come.
E! News has reserved an entire spoiler column to the show. For more upcoming guest stars and relationship developments, read on...
There are more guest stars to come. Look for Zac Efron, Aaron Sorkin, LeBron James and Matt Damon - who "comes and just kills it," according to Kevin Dillon - to make cameos.
Neither Chase brother will find love. Adrian Grenier says Vince will have "a lot of love," but we know what that translate into; while Dillon says: "Drama's love is the art. He's all about doing good movies. It's not as much fun if there's girls involved for Drama. He's gotta be obsessed with anything that's related to his fame."
Will E and Sloan ever get together? Maybe. At some point. "There's resolution [and] unexpected surprises," Emmanuelle Chriqui says.
Jeremy Piven has won three consecutive Emmy Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy.
But that streak is guaranteed to end this year, as the Entourage star isn't even nominated.
Piven's co-stars are in shock over that fact, blaming the negative press the Ari Gold portrayer received when he dropped out of a Broadway play earlier this year due to alleged mercury poisoning.
"I'm meaning to call Jeremy, because he's probably feeling a little down today," Kevin Dillon, who received his third nomination for the role of Johnny Drama, told TV Guide Magazine. "I think he deserved a nomination. He did some great work last season. Maybe the weird press had something to do with it."
Added producer Doug Ellin: "Jeremy was so good last year. To go from a perennial winner to not even being nominated with the work he did last year is kind of shocking. Jeremy was as good as ever last year, but he has some great stuff coming up this season."
That includes a great scene with Drama, said Dillon.
"We have a heartfelt moment, which is unusual for us. Usually Ari and Drama don't have many scenes together - and certainly not heartfelt. Let's just say, Drama is considering moving on from the Miller/Gold Agency."
Finally, Autumn Reeser (aka The Woman That Saved the Final Season of The OC) is returning to television.
As previously reported, the adorable actress will guest star on a sixth season episode of Entourage.
We've now learned more about her character of Lizzy: she'll work as a junior agent at Miller-Gold, one that is hooking up with Gary Cole's shady new character, Andrew Klein.
How will Ari react to this mixing of business and pleasure by his longtime friend? Will Klein's days at the agency be numbered? And is there any chance we'll see Reeser topless?
Fans will need to tune in and find out!
On the season finale of Entourage, Matt Damon will stalk Vincent Chase. Sort of.
The actor has filmed his scene with Adrien Grenier, which involves the former bugging the latter to donate to his charity, One By One.
“I came up with [an] idea for Matt,” said creator Ellin, who also nabbed basketball star Lebron James for the season's closing episode. “Lebron and Matt have a scene together and they just kill it!”
“They were just amazing,” Kevin Connolly told TV Guide Magazine. “Doug wrote a scene where we’re all at the airport together. Matt was all smiles. He was definitely there to have fun.”
Added Grenier about the set up:
“The joke is that Matt is very passionate about his charity – almost in a stalkerish kind of way. Vince becomes intimated by his intensity. He ends up bullying Vince into giving much more than he should.”
The episode airs on October 4.
As David Schwimmer’s August 2 guest-starring appearance?
“David comes in as himself to discuss projects with my character, who is a TV agent,” said new star Gary Cole. “He pokes fun at himself and Friends. We have a meeting about what his next TV project should be.”
The sixth season of Entourage may feature a heavy dose of Sloan, but she won't be the only girl sharing a bed with Eric this summer.
Actress Alexis Dziena has been cast on the show, as she'll portray the third point of E's upcoming love triangle.
"I'm not sure how serious it gets," Dzeina told E! News. "But I can tell you that I'm around and we have fun together."
Dziena's character - who was announced in February - is named Ashley and she's a jeweler, the rising star said, adding:
"She's somewhat bohemian, but not bohemian to the point where she doesn't shave her legs. She's a character who only wears her own jewelry and works only with natural materials. She's someone very different for E. There's a very big juxtaposition between Ashley and the other girls you may have seen E with."
That's fine and all, but don't be an idiot, Eric. You have seen Sloan, right?!?
Vincent Chase Martin Scorsese film?!?
Even the most ardent Entourage fans have a problem buying the way last season wrapped up. Will this project be another Medellin-like disaster for Hollywood's faux rising star?
That's unlikely, says Rex Lee, who plays everyone's favorite assistant, Lloyd. In an interview with E! News, Lee said fans shouldn't expect the Scorsese movie to be a hit, but "it's not a flop."
As far as Lloyd's future as Ari's bitch? Little will change on that front.
"Lloyd definitely wants a promotion and wants to move ahead," Lee said. "[He] asks for a promotion, but it doesn't happen, not by any definition of promotion I've ever heard of."
Season six of Entourage premieres this Sunday night, July 12.
No, upcoming episodes of Entourage won't be centered around a debate between evolution and creationism, as this headline sort of implies.
Instead, the show's creator told The New York Post that season six of his HBO series will depict major growth in each of the main characters.
"I wanted to reinvent [Entourage] without making it a different show," Doug Ellin told the newspaper. "I think it has the feeling of Season 1, with more maturity. [The key] characters are finally evolving."
For example, Eric will move into his own apartment this season.
"This is a very eventful season... especially for me," said actor Kevin Connolly, adding that the goal of paying his own rent will be to win over Sloan once and for all.
Meanwhile, Turtle will be spending almost every night alongside Jamie-Lynn Sigler, the actress that plays herself on the show (and is somehow dating actor Jerry Ferrara in real life).
"Turtle's watching the other guys and learning the business," said Ferrara. "I think [Ellin] is moving slow with him... But I believe there are going to be a lot of openings for him soon. Deep down, he's a hustler and it will pay off."
But will he end up with Sigler? A recent on-set photo doesn't portend a happy ending for this couple.
In terms of name recognition, she isn't exactly on par with LeBron James, Tom Brady or even Zac Efron.
But Vail Bloom has joined those A-listers as another major guest star on the upcoming season of Entourage.
The beautiful actress has portrayed Heather Stevens on The Young and the Restless since 2007. No word yet on how she'll be used on the HBO series, but look for her to appear on the July 26 episode.
