[edit] Plot

Joe Quincy (Matthew Perry) is a lawyer applying for Ainsley Hayes' old job in the counsel's office. Joe couldn't have picked a more eventful day for his interview: A shooting at the press briefing room has led to a "lockdown," but he's already in the building, so his interview with Josh proceeds as scheduled. And it goes well enough, but Josh can't help thinking that something's not quite right about this guy. Meanwhile, poker night goes on despite the lockdown, but the president keeps getting interrupted; a spy plane has been lost over Russia and he is put in the awkward position of calling the Russian President and asking to be allowed to retrieve the spy plane without explaining its purpose.

[edit] Trivia

The title of this episode comes from the New Testament, Hebrews 11.1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen..."
