 The West Wing staffers are introduced as each learns via phone or pager that the President was in a cycling accident. Josh faces the possible loss of his job after an on-air insult of a political opponent, which Toby tries to prevent by having Josh make a personal apology. Sam s fling the previous night with Laurie, who unbeknownst to Sam is a call girl, puts him in hot water, which he compounds when ineptly lecturing a class of 4th-graders about the White House and then asking their teacher which child is Leo s daughter. Leo must deal with the fallout from Josh s blunder, as well as 137 Cuban refugees who escaped on rafts and are seeking asylum. The president walks in during during Josh s apology, recites the First Commandment, and lambastes three Christian pols for not denouncing a fringe group.
