While Bartlet, Leo and Fitzwallace (John Amos) grapple with terrorism and "moral absolutes," Josh and Amy (Mary-Louise Parker) grapple with each other over a welfare-reform bill. Meanwhile, Donna represents the White House at a North Dakota state-party caucus; Toby doesn't want the President to go to a New York fund-raiser because Gov. Ritchie will be there; Charlie is tasked with finding candidates to replace Mrs. Landingham; and C.J. discovers that Simon Donovan is a very straight shooter.
