Personal
Will Bailey is still struggling with his new position as Deputy Communications Director. The situation worsens when the other speechwriters on staff all quit in protest over his out-of-the-blue hiring and promotion. With limited options, Will corrals a bunch of Communications Office interns and effectively deputizes them as his new speechwriting staff.

Political
Sam Seaborn's campaign in the California 47th was less than impressive, despite a valiant effort by Sam himself, and unilateral support from the White House. Still, it's next to impossible for a Democrat to win in Republican Orange County — but Toby refuses to let Sam go down without a fight. With temporary leave from the White House, Toby remains in California to take over Sam's campaign.
War continues in the African Republic of Equatorial Kundu, despite intervention from the US military. Though the US attempts to take control of the airport were successful, the Kundunese continue their campaign of genocide against their own people, and have also turned their hostilities against the US occupying force.
