[edit] Plot

Bartlet covertly meets with a psychiatrist, Dr. Stanley Keyworth, for a troubling sleep disorder and receives a sobering personal assessment rooted in his relationship with his late father. C.J. lobbies vigorously to help secure the release of a White House reporter and adversary of hers who has been taken hostage while on assignment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Toby, who is already on non-speaking terms with the President, risks the wrath of his ex-wife, Congresswoman Andrea "Andy" Wyatt, by writing an inflammatory speech for the President's visit to the UN condemning Islamic extremism. Sam asks Republican lawyer Ainsley Hayes to review a proposed act that calls for payback of U.S. debt to the United Nations in exchange for special requests, but has problems when a White House intern accuses him of sexist behavior. Donna is stunned when she is offered a lucrative job outside the White House, working on a political website project, and Josh admits there isn't anything else they can do for her professionally.
