Bartlet for America
Leo and other White House personnel reflect back on the early days of the presidential campaign as he is getting grilled by a congressional committee over what and when he knew about the President's diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.
Not my favorite episode. The flashbacks felt a little forced. The main cast characters didn't seem any different despite the fact that they were working for a governor running for President and not for the President of the United States. It got a little more interesting towards the end when Congressman Gilborn started asking questions. This led into the final flashback of the episode where Leo gets tempted with alcohol, while fundraising for Jed Bartlet, and falls.
I could have done without the romantic overtures on Leo's part toward his attorney. It didn't add anything substantive or of interest for me. If anything it seemed a bit creepy and inappropriate. Looking ahead I see this is the first of 5 episodes in which she appears, all in season 3.
