 On the series  first "Big Block of Cheese" Day (nicknamed "Total Crackpot Day" by Josh), staffers meet with reps of various organizations causes, e.g., C.J. hosts a group that wants $900 million for a "wolves only" highway. The president has everyone to the residence for a homemade chili party, we learn about Mrs. Landingham s past, and Zoey (Elisabeth Moss) is introduced to the group, including Charlie, for whom the intro soon becomes fateful (recurring romantic relationship throughout the series).
