"West Wing" Chronology: Part 4 Quiz

Answer: Toby

Toby is continually frustrated by the fact that the breakfast is largely for show, with most of the discussions being about trivial issues like where it is being held. Even the President is pre-occupied with tangential issues (including the fact that New Hampshire maple syrup is not being served).

Answer: Charlie Brown

The President explains to Leo that the Department of Defence's repeated attempts to launch a new missile system are like the scenes from "Peanuts" in which Lucy continually tricks Charlie Brown by pulling away the ball just before he kicks it. The missile misses its target by an astounding 137 miles, despite Leo's assurance that they will one day get it to work.

Answer: False

Abbey is upset because she deduces this intention from his speech. It's not until much later in the show that we find out what his actual intentions are.

Answer: A power failure

The ongoing tension between Josh and pollster Joey Lucas continues, as Josh pushes for quick poll results. In the meantime, President Bartlet is dealing with a hostage situation in Colombia.

Answer: That he would never fire the Surgeon General

The Surgeon General, Milly Griffith, makes a controversial statement about marijuana in an online forum. This is complicated by the fact that she is a good friend of the Bartlets, and Ellie's comment does not help. The episode provides an interesting insight into the 'quiet' Bartlet daughter that we previously knew very little about.

Answer: Toby

Toby is sent into a boisterous meeting with protestors, and has a lot of trouble getting them to listen to him. With Josh's encouragement, he eventually makes some inroads with them.

Answer: No

Sam is having his own father issues in this episode, and is on the verge of telling the truth. But in the end he spares the girl's feelings, telling her it was just not possible.

Answer: His grandson is autistic

Stackhouse spends over 8 hours reading various books aloud (including recipes), until the West Wing staff work out his family connection. In a touching scene, they decide to support him by allowing him to yield for some long questions so that he can have a break and ensure the filibuster is successful.

Answer: How many know about the President having MS

Toby becomes suspicious at the start of this episode, when he finds out that the Vice President is planning a speech in New Hampshire, as well as putting a poll in the field. In Toby's mind this indicates that the VP thinks Bartlet will not run for another term. Leo and the President end up deciding to tell Toby the truth about his MS, and Toby becomes the 17th person (including the President) to know.

The full list is the President, First Lady, their 3 daughters, the President's brother, Dr Virkman and his team of 5 (when Jed was diagnosed), Vice President Hoynes, Admiral Fitzwallace, Leo, Dr Lee (the anesthesiologist who was on duty when Bartlet was shot) and Toby.

Answer: Zoey's college admission form

Jed reveals his MS to White House counsellor Oliver Babish, who responds with many questions in an attempt to work out whether his non-disclosure has broken any laws. In the meantime, Jed tells Charlie that he is never to lie to protect his boss.

Answer: Yes: many, many times

The remainder of the key West Wing staff are told about the President's MS in this episode, with Sam being the last to find out. In the meantime, Josh puts a secret poll in the field to attempt to gauge public reaction to the news, as it is becoming clear that it will soon become public.

Answer: A satellite

A fax from Ed and Larry leaves Donna in fear of the fate of wherever the satellite lands. No-one else in the office appears to be concerned about the potential event.

Answer: Leo

Charlie gets the news that Mrs Landingham, just after picking up her brand new car (which she paid sticker price for), was hit by a drunk driver and killed. Leo then tells the President in a dramatic final scene (which we see but don't hear). This happened at the corner of 18th and Potomac, hence the episode title.

Answer: He shouts some of it in Latin

Some of the Latin is: Haec credam a deo pio? A deo iusto, a deo scito? Cruciatus in crucem. Tuus in terra servus, nuntius fui. Officium perfeci. Cruciatus in crucem. Eas in crucem! Translation: Am I really to believe that these are the acts of a holy God? A just God? A wise God? To hell with your punishments. I was your servant here on Earth, your messenger. I did your work. To hell with your punishments. To hell with you! He also calls God a "feckless thug" and tells him "you get Hoynes!", implying that he will stand aside for Vice President Hoynes and not run for election again.

Answer: False

Bartlet tells his staff that he has made a decision not to run again. However, it becomes clear at the ensuing press conference that he has changed his mind, when he reverts to an old habit of putting his hands in his pockets, looking away and smiling. Flashbacks in this episode reveal that this is an indication he's going to do something special.
