India invades Pakistani-held parts of Kashmir, and the President is suddenly facing the possibility of a nuclear conflict. Toby makes the call to leave CJ out of the loop, leading to a credibility-damaging gaffe on her part. Despite Leo's admonishments, Bartlet calls in reinforcements in the form of eccentric British diplomat, Lord John Marbury. Meanwhile, an annoyed Josh is deposed by a citizens' advocacy group intent on outing Leo as a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. Mandy wants to work for a liberal Republican, to Sam's, Josh's, and Toby's shock, and Charlie wants to date Zoey Bartlet -- to the President's dismay.

Sam:  How could we not have an ambassador in Pakistan?

Bartlet:  We were getting to it.

Toby:  How could the CIA miss 300,000 armed people walking over--

Bartlet:  They didn't exactly miss them.  In fact, they've got a very good photo now.

Toby:  Yeah, but the idea is to spot them before they cross the border, right?

Bartlet:  Yeah.

Toby:  Oops.

Josh:  I'm being deposed at lunch tomorrow.

Sam:  Who are you bringing?

Josh:  I'm not bringing anyone.

Sam:  Josh.

Josh:  It's a non-event.

Sam:  You should bring a lawyer.

Josh:  I am a lawyer.

Sam:  Seriously.  You should bring a real lawyer.

Bartlet:  Zoey just walked right up to him and asked him out.

Leo:  She's a very outgoing girl.

Bartlet:  See, but a dungeon would have put an end to that.

Leo:  We learn these lessons the hard way.

Bartlet:  You're just trying to cover up the fact that you're enjoying this.

Leo:  I'm not trying to cover it up at all.

Bartlet:  I'm a father in pain.

Leo:  Well, really you're just a pain.
