President Bartlet’s controversial — and conservative — new choice for associate White
House counsel (Emily Proctor) has rough sledding on her first day when she suffers the
wrath of her hostile boss (John Larroquette), gets a chilly reception from her co-workers
and is humiliated by two other staffers (Steven Flynn and Paul Perri). Also, when Josh’s
insurance company turns down his claim for his recent life-saving medical bills, Sam tries
to convince him to sue the people who shot him — the Ku Klux Klan. In addition, C.J.
tries to shame an outspoken general (Tom Bower) who is critical of the President into
meeting with her.
From TV Guide:
Ainsley Hayes meets her new boss, White House counsel Lionel Tribbey, and receives her
first assignment: clean up after two domestic-policy staffers who presented inaccurate
testimony before a House committee. Meanwhile, Sam hits upon the idea of Josh suing the
hate group whose members shot him; and C.J. stares down a soon-to-retire general (Tom
Bower) who's planning to blast the Administration on TV talk shows.
