Seems I missed this episode...funny.
It’s Toby’s day of jubilee – Mendoza is going to be elected today by at least 51 per cent of the Senate – but Toby won’t let anyone celebrate until the 51st vote is cast. Obviously in the last few episodes, Toby and Josh have been working on the confirmation process but we haven’t seen much of it.
But Mallory is going to disturb Sam’s day of Jubilee, she’s upset about a position paper that he has written about school vouchers and she commands his morning to talk about it, Sam is hapless and goes along with it even though it was a paper that was arguing the opposite of what he actually thinks. Mallory (played by Allison Smith) eats her words.
CJ has a great moment in this episode, as she lip synchs “the Jackal” for her colleagues. Allison Janney, as usual, is just great. She spends most of the episode trying to keep a story smothered about a supposed drug dealer that was arrested at a party that Zoey Bartlett was at (she left before he was arrested apparently).
Josh spends most of the episode talking to a black civil rights leader he wants to appoint to a higher office about financial reparations for slavery. It’s a good discourse and well worth listening to.
Mandy makes a pretty lame appearance here. We know she’s not in the next season and I guess that Sorkin was just trying to find something for her to do – I’m sure she was under contract and so might as well be used. She’s concerned about getting the National Zoo a new panda bear after the last one died. Boring!
