Personal
The vicious hate crime attack in Rosslyn — teenage neo-Nazis bent on murdering Presidential aide Charlie Young, an African-American dating Bartlet's daughter Zoey — left some of the West Wing staffers physically wounded, but left all of them emotionally scarred. Josh physically recovered from a severe gunshot wound and returned to work without stopping to consider how the event might have effected him psychologically.

Christmas draws near as Josh (Bradley Whitford) is ordered by Leo (John Spencer) to consult with a doctor who specializes in analyzing trauma victims -- but Josh's denial of his occasional emotional outbursts belie the fact that he isn't fully recovered from his life-threatening injuries in the Presidential assassination attempt. What's particularly telling is Josh's identification with a dead fighter pilot who recently took his own life by deliberately crashing his jet -- a man who coincidentally shared his birthday and experienced emotional trauma after being shot down over Bosnia. Elsewhere: the President (Martin Sheen) wants to personally sign all of his Christmas cards -- which total hundreds of thousands; Sam (Rob Lowe) confronts a representative of the Energy Secretary who publicly advocates release of federal oil reserves; C.J. (Allison Janney) gets personally involved when a foreign White House tourist becomes extremely agitated at the sight of a painting donated by the French government. Richard Schiff, Dule Hill and Janel Moloney also star.
