13 Take Out The Trash Day
The White House staff is in full crisis mode when President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) is found unconscious as he prepares for the State
of the Union speech while the India-Pakistan border skirmish flares again when a fearful Pakistan gives its field commanders control
of its nuclear arsenal. While the President's condition is officially blamed on the flu, the First Lady (Stockard Channing) knows better
and Toby (Richard Schiff) is too busy to notice as he polishes his boss' upcoming address. Equally distracting is the inevitable disclosure
of Leo's (John Spencer) former substance-abuse problem by political rivals, as well as the reappearance of the amusing Lord Marbury (Roger Rees) --
a besotted ladies' man who doubles as a key adviser on the India-Pakistan conflict.
Despite the crises, C.J. (Allison Janney) and Mallory (Allison Smith) express their romantic feelings about two very different men.
14 Take This Sabbath Day
After the Supreme Court refuses to stay the execution of a Federal prisoner convicted of killing two drug kingpins, President Bartlet (Martin Sheen)
must decide whether or not to commute his sentence in less than 48 hours, so he calls upon his sagacious childhood priest (Karl Malden) for guidance.
Meanwhile, even Toby (Richard Schiff) feels the heat over the controversial issue when he hears a sermon on capital punishment from
his rabbi (David Proval). Elsewhere, a hearing-challenged, combative campaign manager (Marlee Matlin) demands an audience with the President
when her Democratic congressional candidate has purposely been underfunded by his party before the upcoming election to unseat an incumbent.
