Personal
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 and Leo want to name Secretary of State Berryhill as the new vice president, but despite Josh's valiant efforts, they were unable to get Congress to confirm the liberal Berryhill. Instead, Bartlet nominated Robert "Bingo Bob" Russell, a Congressman from Colorado and a solidly mediocre politician. Russell is non-threatening to the Republicans, who hope to take back the Executive branch and refuse to confirm the nomiation of any viable political threat.

A renowned North Korean pianist is greeted at the White House for a solo performance, but the formalities change when the musician slips a message to the President stating that he wants to defect. Despite C.J.'s passionate argument, others counsel Bartlet that granting the defection would endanger crucial ongoing negotiations with the nation. Also, members of the staff work hard to get the President's new choice for Vice President, Colorado Congressman Robert Russell (recurring guest star GARY COLE - "The Brady Bunch" movies, "Family Affair"), unanimously approved by both houses of Congress — but there's one holdout whose "nay" vote could embarrass everyone.
