As his second inauguration looms, increasing acts of genocide prompt a reticent Bartlet to intervene in the Republic of Equitorial Kunhndu, after efforts by the UN, the Vatican, and a coalition of regional African nations fail to stop the bloodshed. Meanwhile, Charlie continues his fruitless search for the perfect inaugural Bible; in the end, the Bible in the House of Representatives Library is used, which turns out to be nothing more than a Gideon's Bible taken from a DC motel.

Finally, Will Bailey--working for Toby on a contract with the Democratic National Committee--is brought into the West Wing as the Deputy Communications Director and Special Assistant To the President.
