Post Description
1.Pilot
The entire White House staff bristles with activity when it's learned that the President (Martin Sheen) injured himself during a bicycle accident.
And his absence becomes a factor as chief of staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer) must juggle a host of impending crises
including a mass boat lift of Cuban refugees approaching the Florida coast and the reaction of conservative Christians to a controversial televised
comment by deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman (Bradley Whitford.
Meanwhile, Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe), the trouble-prone deputy communications director
unknowingly spends the night with a call girl (Lisa Edelstein) and then makes another critical error during a children's White House tour.
2.Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc
Despite warnings from fellow office workers, infatuated White House staffer Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) presses his luck when he continues
to publicly pursue a high-priced call girl (Lisa Edelstein) with whom he shared a night of passion.
Press secretary C.J. Cregg (Allison Janney) tries to defuse a potentially nasty public clash between the President (Martin Sheen) and his willful
Vice President (Tim Matheson) concerning the Veep's quotes about a bill favored by the chief executive.
Exasperated political consultant Mandy Hampton (Moira Kelly) drowns her troubles when her only client ignores her advice and agrees to bottle
up a key bill in committee that could have been costly for the President if put to a vote.
The President forges a kinship with a young African-American Navy captain (Reuben Santiago-Hudson) who's substituting for his regular
White House physician - so much, in fact, that he asks him to assume the position on a full-time basis.
