While Josh and Sam accidentally set the building on fire, CJ and her staff obsess over the seating arrangements for a breakfast championing a new spirit of bipartisanship. CJ maintains that it doesn't matter, since no one's going to be listening to anyone anyway. Toby disagrees, and pushes top Republican aide -- and former friend -- Ann Stark to allow discussion of several controversial issues, ruining CJ's bargaining power in the process. A chagrined Leo sends Josh to apologize to an influential columnist for insulting her shoes, and Sam lobbies for removing the press briefing room to the OEOB.
