In the season finale, President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) encounters Ritchie (James Brolin) -- his Republican presidential rival -- when they attend a Broadway play while the President faces a terrorist threat after he discovers that a high-ranking Middle Eastern official has been supporting terrorism. Bartlet finally comes to the decision to go ahead with the covert op that will have the Qumari Defense Minister killed. As the President watches the play, the order is given.
When Josh (Bradley Whitford) supports a key welfare reform bill that his feminist activist/lover Amy (Mary-Louise Parker) opposes, it threatens their personal relationship.
Elsewhere, the flirtation between C.J. (Allison Janney) and Secret Service bodyguard Simon Donovan (Mark Harmon)that had been limited by the boundaries of their professional relationship is free to grow more serious after the man sending her death threats is apprehended. However, it ends in tragedy as Donovan is gunned down while attempting to stop a convenience store robbery.
