It's Monday morning, and Zoey Bartlet's been missing since late Saturday night. Walken gets a hard lesson on the very real consequences of military action, when he makes condolence calls to the parents of soldiers who died during an operation he ordered. Josh suspects Walken's staff may be plotting to push through legislation during Walken's tenure in the Oval Office. Toby and Will work on a joyful speech and a mournful speech, and disagree over the tone Bartlet should take when he reassumes power. Leo struggles with divided loyalties, and must ultimately inform President Bartlet that the attack Walken ordered may cost Zoey her life.
