Complete story — includes the ending
After Josh is hailed as the "101st Senator" on his birthday in a newspaper profile, he clashes with Senator Chris Carrick, a conservative Democrat from Idaho. Carrick withholds his approval of a backlog of military promotions so he can secure an expensive but ineffective missile system that a former Republican President pledged to build in his state. Will is asked by newly-approved Vice President to be his communications director, while C.J. runs afoul of Leo's temper when she deviates from the administration's scripted line regarding an Environmental Protection Agency report on coal-based energy. Likewise, Amy earns the President's wrath when she aggressively pushes for funding of the First Lady's agenda on violence prevention. Meanwhile, Toby creates a message calendar to maintain focus during President Bartlet's second term. Note: Submitted as Emmy nominee for Outstanding Drama.
