Toby celebrates the confirmation of Mendoza, Josh discusses slavery reparations with a civil-rights attorney and Sam and Mallory battle over school vouchers. An arrest at a frat party attended by the President's daughter could prove explosive, as could the views of a controversial nominee for Assistant Attorney General who supports reparations for slavery.

Sorkin commented that the show received hate mail following Charlie and Zoey kissing in this episode.

[edit] Quotes

Mandy: I think we should get a panda bear.
Josh: You say that now, but I'm the one who's going to end up feeding him.

Mallory: Don't play dumb with me.
Sam: Honestly I am dumb. Most of the time I'm playing smart.

Josh: That's good Jeff, I would love to give you the money, I really would, but I'm a little short on cash right now - you see the SS officer forgot to give my grandfather his wallet back when he let him out of Birkenau.
Jeff: Well your beef's with the Germans.
Josh: You're damn right it is.
