Leo & President Bartlet decide to seek legal counsel as they try to navigate the legal implications of not disclosing his M.S. diagnosis. Sallie couldn't join us for this episode, so we're joined by our good friend Sarah Johnson. Of all the important topics discussed, we decided we really need a West Wing chess set & that Toby surely must've had a cat (and we want to know its name). There's more to the story and you can hear it all in our recap of, "Bad Moon Rising."

Oh man... This is the episode where President Bartlet reveals his health secret to Toby, and everyone else is working on the speech for the correspondent's dinner. Join us in this unabashed gush-fest for one of the best episodes of television in our recap of, "17 People."

Oh dear ol' Stackhouse, standing tall, hour after hour, reading your recipe books & rules of cards. We salute you! Leo & Bartlet have a candlelit dinner, and if you're anything like Sallie, this episode will give you all the feels. Here's to defying convention & standing up (literally) for the cause of people you love. We'll recap it all as we discuss, "The Stackhouse Filibuster."

We hope you like Sam Seaborn because he takes the cake in this episode. It's Big Block of Cheese Day once again, and this time we have a lot to learn (or unlearn) about the social equality of maps. Would we want to watch this episode again? In a New York Minute, yes! Enoy this recap of, "Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail." (Spoiler alert: neither of those things happen.)

Tempers flare as the Surgeon General airs her opinion on legalizing marijuana in an online chat. When her goddaughter, Ellie Bartlet - the middle of the Bartlet daughters, voices her support she ends up backing the President into a political corner. Who's our favorite Bartlet daughter? It's all in this episode recap of, "Ellie."

Ainsley Hayes has an opportunity to re-meet the President; Josh gets some enlightening insight from Joey Lucas; and Dr. & President Bartlet finally hash out the whole, "We had a deal!" conversation. Meanwhile, we talk about monogramming towels & overanalyzing texts from boys. Somehow it all relates, but you can find out for yourself in today's recap of, "The War at Home."

It's speech time, and Joey Lucas is back! The Bartlets experience some marital tension at the possibility of running for a second term. And Ainsley Hayes finally meets President Bartlet (under less than favorable circumstances). Blame it on the bossanova in this episode recap of, "Bartlet's Third State of the Union."

Toby urges President Bartlet to add a controversial "drop-in" to a speech to the environmental lobby & it does not go well. AND he keeps Sam in the dark about it. No good. But it's a delightful episode featuring Roger Rees as Lord John Marbury, and Sallie & I discuss possibilities for our next podcast once we finish The West Wing. Lots of notable quotables in this recap of, "The Drop-In."

Toby gets played by Ann Stark. Karen Cahill wreaks havoc on the West Wing team. Underpants are involved. Hilarity ensues. Join us as we break down The Leadership Breakfast.

Oh man. A West Wing classic. It's Christmas again at The White House, and Josh has a heated session session with a trauma counselor about life after the shooting at Rosslyn. If you have extra feelings, prepare to spend them all here as we recap, "Noel."
