abstract
  • "Previously on the West Wing" spoken by Leo President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) considers the extraordinary option of recalling the Senate from a winter holiday to push through a ratification of a new nuclear test-ban treaty - despite the lame duck status of many Senators who will not return in the next session. Meanwhile, a drunken Ukrainian member of Parliament, Vasily Konanov (Eugene Lazarev) thunders through the White House demanding to see the President. Elsewhere, Toby (Richard Schiff) is shocked to hear that even if the Senate returns, the White House might still lack the necessary votes; Sam (Rob Lowe ) learns something when he grudgingly works with new Republican Assistant Counsel Ainsley Hayes (Emily Procter); a stubborn C.J. (Allison Janney) argues against allowing Danny Concannon (Timothy Busfield) private access to the President for a series of exclusive stories; and Donna (Janel Moloney) is on a mission to get the President to back legislation on repetitive stress injuries.
