Answer: Jed Bartlet

Jed invited Toby in to talk to him about how he had recently had some bouts of blurry vision and some other troubling medical symptoms. This was when he confessed to Toby that he had multiple sclerosis. Toby just sat there in silence and with a look of shock on his face over what he heard.

He asked President Bartlet what the term "relapsing-remitting" meant in regards to his multiple sclerosis diagnosis and he responded that it simply meant he had the good kind of MS.

Answer: Josh Lyman

Josh was outside the oval office and realized that Toby's meeting with President Bartlet was taking a long time so he asked Charlie if he knew when Toby would be finished.
