It's the Fourth of July, one of the President's favorite holidays, but they're all still recovering from Zoey's kidnapping. Zoey, bruised but healing, appears for a photo op with her father, and despite continuing trouble coping, manages to wave and smile for the cameras. Later, Abbey decides to take Zoey up to New Hampshire to recover. Meanwhile, the senior staffers are confronted with an appalling list of Vice Presidential candidates acceptable to the virulently partisan Speaker of the House. Donna deals with spoiled new intern Ryan, who got the position through family connections, and Amy uses her position as Chief of Staff for Abbey to get some women's initiatives proper funding -- despite the fact that Abbey has no knowledge of her actions.

Josh:  He's on board.

Will:  So our message is stature.

CJ:  And national security.  Toss in motherhood and the flag and blast fax it.

CJ:  Smart offense.

Will:  Error-free ball.

Josh:  Knock yourselves out, but he's a slam dunk.

Toby:  Okay, that's one too many sports metaphors.

Josh:  No one gets confirmed by the House.  This is your one at-bat.

Leo:  We should let them have the room.

Haffley:  Leo, no.  I don't need to be schooled by my Senate brethren.  I get what my job is here.

Josh:  Advise and consent.  That's your job.  Confirm the president's choice; he's qualified.

Will:  Diane Frost is a serious name.

Josh:  Diane is a serious loon of the left.

Toby:  I love Diane Frost.  I'd marry Diane Frost if I were a member of her stated sexual preference, but Diane is the definition of unelectable.

Josh:  He's the Congressman from Western Colorado, and I don't mean the state, I mean the mining company.

Toby:  Bob Russell is not presidential.

Josh:  Are we actually discussing the list?

CJ:  We're dissing the list.  Wasn't Russell -- Is he Bingo Bob?

Toby:  That's Russell.

Josh:  Let's not even dis the list.

Toby:  Guys?  We can't confirm Berryhill.

CJ:  We can't?

Will:  We're having trouble with the Democrats.

CJ:  Wow, along with the Republicans.  That's kind of everyone.
