Well, I guess we talked about a lot of things: who we think the Republican challenger is gonna be, and incumbency, and campaign strategy - strategic overview, but the long and short of it is, my father never liked me, at all.
After five nights of insomnia, the President allows Leo to call in Stanley Keyworth, the trauma therapist who diagnosed Josh's PTSD the year before. Stanley pinpoints Bartlet's lingering conflicted feelings for his father. CJ does everything in her power to help when she learns one of the reporters from her pressroom has been taken hostage in the Congo. Toby includes inflammatory remarks in a speech, prompting, as CJ put it, an ass-kicking from the Mrs.; Toby's irate ex-wife, Congresswoman Andrea Wyatt, argues angrily that the speech is anti-Muslim. Sam asks for Ainsley's help on a proposal that advocates for the U.S. to pay its backlog of U.N. dues. And Donna is offered a prestigious and highly paid new job by an old friend.
