Fri Dec 18 09:00 AM BRAVO The presidential race clarifies on the day of the Iowa caucuses, as does Josh's relationship with Amy Gardner (Mary-Louise Parker).

Fri Dec 18 08:00 AM BRAVO On State of the Union night, Sam is being trailed by a magazine reporter (Traylor Howard) who has a history with Sam---they were once engaged. That's distracting enough. So is the fact that the speech is being delivered just weeks after the President was forced to accept a Congressional censure, which (as seen in flashbacks) weighs heavily on staffers' minds as they wrestle with including an anticancer initiative in the speech. Meanwhile, Josh can't get Amy Gardner (Mary-Louise Parker) to talk to him; and C.J. and Charlie are feuding. Joey Lucas: Marlee Matlin.

Meanwhile, Josh tangles with a women's-group lobbyist (Mary-Louise Parker) over wording in a treaty concerning prostitution; Toby meets with veterans upset about the content of a Smithsonian Pearl Harbor exhibition; and Sam's concerned about a lawsuit against the President involving automobile seatbelts.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:00:00 -0500

Tue Dec 15 08:00 AM BRAVO As Josh reluctantly begins addressing a group of high-school high achievers the White House goes into a lockdown. No one can leave and the kids have questions. “So what bothers them about us?” asks one, assuming that Arab terrorism is the reason for the lockdown.

But first, both Sam and Oliver Babish (Oliver Platt) question the First Lady (Stockard Channing) about the matter.
