The President agrees reluctantly to have Thanksgiving at Camp David instead of Manchester, and learns later that Abbey pushed for the location after polling data indicated it might help his polling numbers. To Charlie and Toby's amusement, the President assumes a fake name and calls the Butterball Hotline for information on how best to cook a turkey. Meanwhile, CJ must meet with two Indians who are staging a stand-in in the Northwest Lobby, refusing to leave until someone addresses the deplorable state of public heath care on reservations. CJ averts a public fracas by getting them a meeting with Leo's help. Toby comes up with a simple way to gain momentum: support small initiatives with widespread support. Josh tries to get a teenage murderer extradited from Italy, a country that opposes the death penalty, and Sam worries over the political fallout from a mathematical formula that made millions more Americans poor overnight.
