Plot

President Santos is inaugurated and President Bartlet leaves office. It is revealed that Santos plans to nominate Eric Baker the Vice President (previously discussed as a possibility) through the Twenty-fifth Amendment and Bartlet pardons Toby Ziegler in the last hours of his presidency. "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin provides a cameo as a member of President Bartlet's staff.

After Santos takes the oath, we see the new Deputy Chief of Staff, Sam Seaborn, White House Chief of Staff Josh Lyman, and Chief of Staff to Mrs. Santos, Donna Moss, walk in to the White House to which Sam says "Home Sweet Home!"

Upon leaving the White House, Bartlet is given a very sentimental gift by Leo McGarry's daughter Mallory — the cocktail napkin, on which McGarry wrote "Bartlet for America" in a third season flashback when convincing Bartlet to run for the presidency (and which the President had framed for Leo as a christmas gift). As Air Force One flies Bartlet and the first lady home, he reflects on the events of the past eight years while looking at this note from his friend. When his wife turns to him and asks him, "What are you thinking about?" Bartlet responds, "Tomorrow."
