Holy Night

From West Wing Wiki

It's two days before Christmas and who should appear but reporter Danny Concannon (Timothy Busfield). He's dressed as St. Nick, but isn't spreading good cheer. He's investigating some rumours he's uncovered surrounding Sharif's plane going down.

Also showing up at the White House is Toby's father (Jerry Adler), a former member of Murder, Inc. He and Toby do not get along, and Toby is furious at Josh (Bradley Whitford) for setting up the meeting. Toby is also dealing with depositions about Andy's pregnancy.

When Leo (John Spencer) learns that the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem may be closed on Christmas due to a faulty roof, he orders Josh to see what he can do to fix it.

Bartlet's (Martin Sheen) daughter Zoey, accompanied by her French boyfriend (Charlie isn't pleased to see him) also arrives and psychiatrist Stanley Keyworth (Adam Arkin) comes by, and both Bartlet and Leo complain about concentration lapses.

Meanwhile, the president decides to rip up the HHS budget just before it's due at the printer's. That'll mean a lot of work over the holidays. Also, Will (Joshua Malina) finds fitting in in his temporary position in the West Wing a little daunting.

"But I'm not convinced and that's 'cause you haven't convinced me. This isn't Tillman at the Stanford Club or the California 47th. This is big-boy school, Mr. Bailey. You understand?"- Leo McGarry
