[edit] Plot

When five crew members of an E-2C Hawkeye AEW aircraft are shot down by North Korean jets near the hostile country, President Bartlet dispatches a Navy SEAL team to retrieve them—prompting Leo to recall his own harrowing experience when he was downed as a F-105 Thunderchief pilot over North Vietnam. Leo's good friend and fellow flyer saved Leo's life and now is in trouble for allegedly paying bribes to defense contractors to obtain military contracts. Meanwhile, C.J. accepts the challenge of dueling on live television with an opinionated, conservative talk show host, Taylor Reid. Josh fumes when he briefs the President about a contested tax cut for stay-at-home mothers and is undercut by brash, young intern Ryan. And the commander in chief balks at posing for his official portrait.
