Complete story — includes the ending
The President and staff deal with a study on sex education in public schools refuting the use of abstinence-only techniques, a forthcoming signing of a hate-crime bill, the parents of a young man killed with religious-motivated homophobic violence, and an advance man to the Vice President who has abused his position. C.J. and Danny continue to deal with their relationship. An influential man offers Leo some unwelcome advice, which he refuses. A senior member of the House of Representatives summons Josh and Sam and leans hard on them; they make a deal, which avoids a hearing on Leo and the related inquiries. Sam finds out how Lillienfield and Claypool obtained the information about Leo's addiction and treatment. Leo and the young staffer ( Liza Weil ) who leaked the information agree to give each other a second chance. Note: The episode title refers to a White House practice of using Fridays to release as many stories to the press as they can in the hopes that negative stories will go unnoticed.
