Answer: C.J.

C.J. had some difficulty speaking following her trip to the dentist and could not pronounce words properly. Certain words came out wrong such as "woot canaw", "bwiefing" and "Pwesident". Toby found this to be infuriating and said, "C.J., so help me if you use the words "Pwesident" or "bwiefed" again", while Josh found it to be highly amusing and tried to make her say "Foggy Bottom" but it came out "Fwoggy Bowtew".

2. Who took C.J.'s press briefing for her?

Answer: Josh

Josh was excited to take the briefing and remarked, "Hey there cats and kittens. This is Josh Lyman coming at you with your two o'clock briefing!" but C.J. was more cautious and told Josh "pwease be vewy cawefuw. Twy vewy, vewy hawd not to destwoy us". Josh replied back," You shouldn't say that C.J., you've got a great body... Here we go. Woo!"
