Former flames Josh (
Bradley Whitford) and Mandy (
Moira Kelly) argue the merits of allowing an economic bill to pass through Congress even though political opponents have made an addition that would upset the pro-environment President Bartlett (
Martin Sheen). C.J. (Allison Janey) must attempt to squelch a story that the president and Vice President Hoynes (
Tim Matheson) disagreed passionately during a Cabinet meeting, while simultaneously deflecting the advances of reporter Danny Concannon (
Timothy Busfield), who is the best in the business at sniffing out a hot lead. Leo (
John Spencer) is less than thrilled that his daughter has invited Sam Seaborn (
Rob Lowe) to join her at the opera. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
