Personal
In what looked like an attempt to distract attention from the White House's bid to confirm Roberto Mendoza as the newest Associate Supreme Court Justice, Congressman Lillienfield of the House Government Oversight Committee called a press conference to announce that "one in three" White House staffers regularly uses drugs.
Having given up his crusade to reform the call girl Laurie, Sam has settled for considering her a friend. He was shocked to see her at a State Dinner with a high-profile Democratic lobbyist, a client who introduced her as "Brittany." Sam respects Laurie's ambition to finish law school though he's still dubious about the way she's going about it.

As Christmas Eve approaches, President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) eagerly sneaks out of the White House for some last-minute Christmas shopping, while a haunted Toby (Richard Schiff) learns more about a forgotten Korean War hero who died alone on the district's cold streets while wearing a coat that Toby once donated to charity. In other hushed corridors, Sam (Rob Lowe) and Josh (Bradley Whitford) ignore Leo's (John Spencer) advice and consult Sam's call girl friend (guest star Lisa Edelstein) concerning her confidential clientele when one political rival hints at exposing Leo's previous drug problem. C.J. (Allison Janney) wonders aloud about the President's public response to a notorious hate crime while her personal resolve weakens as a persistent reporter (guest star Timothy Busfield, "thirtysomething") continues to ask her out. Moira Kelly and Dule Hill also star.
