Plot
On the night of the vernal equinox, the West Wing staff and the President are engaged in a game of poker, but keep getting interrupted by various crises. Josh is in the middle of interviewing Joe Quincy (Matthew Perry) for Ainsley Hayes' old job in the counsel's office, when shots are fired at the building, and the West Wing goes into lockdown because earlier incidents in Germany, Malaysia and Guam suggest a larger terrorist event is looming. President Bartlet is also interrupted, while trying to retrieve a unmanned spy plane from Russian territory without giving away too much information. The UAV crashed due to a quirk of satellite positioning and the Russian President is not impressed by the covery story involving beach erosion. President Bartlet finally tells him they're tracking nuclear smuggling that the Russian government is not taking action against, and says that they can do one of two things: retrieve the UAV and share the pictures taken (not the technology) or order a U.S. airstrike to destroy the UAV. Russian decides on the former plan. Josh is surprised that Joe is a Republican, and Joe surprises Josh by saying his party doesn't care about Josh's emotional roller coaster as he recovered from being shot and having PTSD; Josh says he will recommend Joe get Ainsley's job. Will Bailey's work as a JAG Air Force Reserve officer involves a tricky case where two airmen refused to launch nuclear missiles after a false report of a North Korean attack. C.J. tries to balance an egg on its bottom side and succeeds.
