This is mostly politics. It involves a banking bill that is in jeopardy. Josh is at his arrogant best here. Unfortunately he frequently puts the cart before the horse. There are other factors, including C.J. and the reporter who is wooing her. Hoins, the Vice President, who is not a team player gets a dressing down. It's interesting how little he contributes to the causes, but, hey, that's the life of a Vice president. Remember when Kennedy would send LBJ to flower shows.

Good a place as any to dump your body...

A top-ten Josh entry, as he stews over a retributional rider attached to a banking bill, and finally uses the President's nerd-like love of national parks to find a solution. Jed belittles Hoynes, and they finally have it out. Throw in some Danny...and Leo's daughter Mallory (Allison Smith, KATE & ALLIE) asking Sam to the Chinese opera. Leo and the President conspire to keep Sam otherwise occupied. What the heck ever happened to that plot line, by the way? Not that Mallory disappeared, but the chemistry between them was scrumptious, and then...nothing. There's a story there somewhere. Anyway, it's not a birthday card - it's a birthday message.

THE WEST WING: SEASON 1, EPISODE 8: Enemies
Directed by: Alan Taylor
Written by: Story by : Rick Cleveland, Lawrence O'Donnell, Jr. & Patrick Caddell
Teleplay by : Ron Osborn & Jeff Reno
Just like how the first episode without Thomas Schlamme directing still made sense in the universe this being the first episode not to have Aaron Sorkin as a credited writer still feels like a natural continuation of the show which is a credit to Sorkin & his writing staff.
This episode has many different plot lines which sort've involve the whole ensemble so it's hard for me to nail down a standout plot line and my overall reaction is I enjoyed seeing characters from the show interact in multiple different ways.
C. J. And Danny flirting continues and it is a small part of the series so far but one that I throughly enjoy as it allows Janney to add much needed dimension to Cregg.
