Toby, who is already on non-speaking terms with the President, risks the wrath of his ex-wife, Congresswoman Andrea "Andy" Wyatt, by writing an inflammatory speech for the President's visit to the UN condemning Islamic extremism. Sam asks Republican lawyer Ainsley Hayes to review a proposed act that calls for payback of U.S. debt to the United Nations in exchange for special requests, but has problems when a White House intern accuses him of sexist behavior.
