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:
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
