Plot

The senior staff clash with Congressional leaders on how to fund U.S. peacekeepers destined for the Middle East following the peace accord signed by Israel and the Palestinians. As Leo McGarry recovers from his heart attack, the Cabinet secretaries and senior staff members continually make missteps without a Chief of Staff. Bartlet, racked with guilt at firing Leo, is reluctant to appoint anyone. Eventually Leo recovers consciousness and tells Barlet to appoint a new White House Chief of Staff. Bartlet agrees, and asks Leo for a list of names. But Leo tells him, "no, only one name."

Before returning to the White House, Bartlet asks C.J. to "jump off a cliff" (a metaphorical request he had made of Leo before beginning his first term in the White House), indicating that she was Leo's choice of successor.
