Plot
Will Bailey's work on the inaugural address makes quite an impression (as does the foreign-policy doctrine it espouses), and Danny Concannon's reporting makes quite a splash. Meanwhile, Charlie's luck in finding a Bible for Bartlet's swearing-in isn't improving. There's been a serious leak to Danny Concannon from a "White House aide" revealing the discontent of some of the military. The leak is attributed to Donna, which Josh cannot believe, even though she's confessed to it. As she sits in her apartment, unable to face attending the Inauguration Ball due to her disgrace, Josh suddenly realizes she's taking the rap for her boyfriend, Jack Reese, and enlists the help of motley crew Toby, Charlie, Will and Danny Concannon to coax her out. There is a poignant moment as Josh suddenly looks at her when she finally emerges into the snow in her ball gown, and says "you look amazing!". The President tells his senior staff that he's going to authorize a U.S. military intervention to stop the genocide in Kundu, and agrees with Toby that Will Bailey should be appointed the new Deputy Director of Communications.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
