Personal
After over 30 hours in captivity as a political prisoner of Qumari agents, Zoey Bartlet has returned safely home. Zoey's politically-motivated kidnapping has estranged the President and First Lady.
Josh and Donna are saddled with a snotty new intern, Ryan Pierce, as a political favor from Leo to Ryan's well-connected Washington family.

Political
Bartlet had handed the mantle of the presidency over to Republican Speaker of the House Glenallen Walken during the crisis, but upon Zoey's return, Bartlet signed a second letter and took control of the White House again.
When an OEOB staffer named Helen Baldwin leaked a story of her affair with Vice President John Hoynes, Hoynes was compelled to resign from office, seemingly ending his political career. The office has been vacant ever since.

Following a harrowing chapter in the nation's history, the White House celebrates the Fourth of July. Bartlet endures the painful process of nominating a candidate for vice president. But his first choice, Secretary of State Lewis Berryhill (recurring guest star WILLIAM DEVANE - "Knots Landing"), will have a difficult time getting approved. Meanwhile, while the reclusive First Lady tends to personal matters, Amy (recurring guest star MARY-LOUISE PARKER - "Fried Green Tomatoes") champions Abbey's violence prevention provisions for an upcoming bill. Josh and Amy share a romantic moment. And Donna is appalled by a new intern, Ryan (recurring guest star JESSE BRADFORD).
