The Bartlet Administration prepares to leave the White House and The West Wing. While Santos and his winning camp are nervously gearing up for the presidential inauguration, current President Bartlet, CJ and the others fondly look back as they prepare to leave the White House forever.

At the Democratic Party National Convention, the race to become the presidential nominee has narrowed to three candidates, Russell, Hoynes and Santos.

Josh is caught off guard when political commentators are critical of Leo as a running mate for Matt Santos, White House Counsel Babish sits with CJ about the leak investigation, and Donna approaches Josh for a job.

The success of the impeccably organised Republican Convention contrasts with the Democrats who look in disarray as the candidates continue to battle to become the Democratic Party presidential nominee.

Santos travels to Sacramento, California, for the last few days before Super Tuesday. Russell decides not to go to California, and Hoynes capably dodges the issue.

Santos and Vinick have to deal with press fallout when it looks like the Bartlet White House is not going to continue the investigation into the press leaks.
