President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) faces the voters, but when he returns to his limousine in Manchester, N.H., after casting his own ballot, Charlie (Dulé Hill) notices things in the president's behavior that make him fear more for Bartlet's physical health than his political well-being.

Meanwhile, in Orange County, Cal., the recently deceased Democratic congressional candidate might not be as politically dead as had been assumed. And in Washington, Debbie Fiderer (Lily Tomlin) is making rules that Josh (Bradley Whitford), for one, doesn't like.

Andy (Kathleen York) is pregnant (with twins), but dad-to-be Toby (Richard Schiff) is worried mostly about how that will play professionally. Meanwhile, Donna (Janel Moloney) meets an intriguing Navy Lieutenant Commander, Jack Reese (Christian Slater), who has been transferred to the White House as Deputy Military Aide.

Finally, Sam (Rob Lowe) is shocked to discover that the campaign in California, run by Will Bailey (Joshua Malina), is actually going to win. Sam has to decide if he will honor his promise to run.
