Nip tuck season 1 episode 13
C.J., in flashback, recalls the time when Toby, on behalf of Leo, invited her to join the Bartlet presidential campaign after she was fired from a high-powered Hollywood PR job to appease an incompetent, arrogant studio executive she has several problems with the press corps and with her own memory. A large group of state and federal police grab the accomplice. Leo instead fires them all and keeps Toby, telling Jed that he is sick of terrible campaigns between terrible candidates and wants to show a good man can be elected President of the United States. Toby also has a flashback about Nashua, when then-Gov. Bartlet, and then a completely-impressed Josh recruited Sam from a miserable, white-collar law job in NYC to join him and help elect "the real thing." Meanwhile, a high-level meeting takes place in the Situation Room. He then listened to Leo's urging of him to go to Nashua, New Hampshire, to check out Gov.

The motorcade heads first toward the White House and then to the George Washington University Hospital Zoey, Leo, and Abbey join the President at the hospital. Gina reports an accomplice and a signal to the shooters from the ground. President, can you tell us right now if you'll be seeking a second term?"ĭuring the aftermath of the shooting in Rosslyn, it becomes obvious that President Bartlet was shot in the back, Josh in the stomach, Charlie (the apparent target of the racist shooters, which a conspirator later confirms when he is arrested) remained unharmed, and the two shooters died at the scene. The season ends with the President announcing his multiple sclerosis, and concludes just moments before he answers a reporter's question: "Mr. Landingham's funeral is central as is the question of whether the President will run for re-election. Landingham, the longtime secretary of President Bartlet, dies in the penultimate episode, " 18th and Potomac." In the final episode, " Two Cathedrals," Mrs. This theme remains central to the entire series. The multiple sclerosis arc (also introduced in the first season) becomes central late in the second season as staff members are introduced one-by-one to the President's ailment and the public made aware. Also vital to this theme is the new doctrine for legislating laid out in the first-season episode " Let Bartlet Be Bartlet." In this season, The West Wing characters are shown as being more capable of legislating thanks to an increased approval rating (described as a temporary "bubble" due to the shooting that ends the first season). It covers a wider legislative array than the first season does, and presents issues including the rights of hate groups and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. The second season details the period between the end of President Bartlet's second year in office and the middle of his third.

Rob Lowe once again receives star billing, while Martin Sheen receives the "and" credit for his role as President Josiah Bartlet.

The second season had star billing for eight major roles. Aaron Sorkin originally planned to have such flashbacks as a major part of the entire season, but budget and logistical demands prevented this. The first two episodes, "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, Part I" and "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, Part II", showed how many of the central characters were introduced to Josiah Bartlet, his campaign for the presidential nomination, and his election. The second season made frequent use of flashbacks, revealing Bartlet's campaign for the presidency in the period prior to events covered in the first season.
