[edit] Plot

The President decides that he needs an opinion from White House Counsel Oliver Babish on whether his MS cover-up constituted a criminal conspiracy. Babish doesn't sugarcoat his answer. Meanwhile, an oil spill off the Delaware coast hits home to Sam; Josh must deal with a Mexican economic crisis; and Toby's on the rampage because of a press leak about a possible change in the President's position on school vouchers.

[edit] Title

The title, Bad Moon Rising, is a reference to the name of a Creedence Clearwater Revival song from 1969.
