    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Aaron Sorkin found Allison Janney lip syncing to Ronny Jordan's The Jackal in her trailer, and wrote it into the episode. Janey was initially doing it too well, and was told to make it more awkward.
    • Goofs
      Jeff Breckenridge says his African ancestors were kidnapped and taken to New Guinea before being shipped to the USA. New Guinea is in the Pacific ocean north of Australia, and he should have said either Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, or Equatorial Guinea, all of which are in Africa.
    • Quotes

      Sam Seaborn: Mallory, education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes, we need gigantic, monumental changes. Schools should be palaces. The competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be making six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge to its citizens, just like national defense. That's my position. I just haven't figured out how to do it yet.
