While President Bartlet frets about where to spend Thanksgiving — and how to best cook a gourmet turkey — C.J. powwows with two Native Americans (guest stars Gary Farmer and Georgina Lightning) who are camped in the lobby and promise to cause a media dustup if they can't meet with a bigwig about receiving better public health projects on their reservation. Elsewhere, Josh pulls some political levers as he tries to gain the extradition of a teenaged boy who murdered his teacher and fled to Italy; Toby informs Bartlet of an inexpensive way to improve his polling numbers; and Sam questions a new poverty income index that could spell trouble for the president by classifying millions more people as poor virtually overnight.
