The reelection campaign of President Josiah Bartlet is underway and moving quickly–so quickly that after Bartlet finishes a speech in Unionville, Indiana, Josh Lyman, Toby Ziegler, and Donna Moss are accidentally left behind by the motorcade containing C.J. Cregg and the other staffers. The three must find their own way back to Washington, D.C. At the White House, Leo McGarry and Admiral Fitzwallace become anxious when they learn that the country of Qumar has reopened its investigation into the death of one of its officials. Later, Bartlet is informed that Qumar intends to accuse Israel of the assassination, in which Bartlet was actually involved. Also troubling the staff are the floundering stock market and a casual remark made by First Lady Dr. Abigail “Abbey” Bartlet about the importance of being a mother. In Josh’s absence, Sam Seaborn tends to the President. Sam also gets a surprise visit from Mallory, his former girlfriend and Leo’s daughter, who asks Sam on a date. Meanwhile, the staffers deal with the crisis caused by a bomb that explodes at a University of Iowa swim meet. Also, Charlie Young revisits the idea of hiring Deborah Fiderer as Bartlet’s executive secretary.
