And yes, a very packed episode!!

Possible controversial take - I'm actually not a fan of hate crimes. Crimes are crimes - they should all be punished as far as they can be (anti death penalty though).

Leo was giving her the second chance he's received, trusting her with the kind of security clearance he has in this job. Also, I read it that she did not leak the information about the advance man. She denied that before Sam brushed it aside and focused on Leo, which she did because of whatever her father did she couldn't even speak of. That actress (Liza Weil) also is an example of how this show has such an amazingly deep bench with even smaller roles (Sorkin called the regular cast a murderer's row like the 1927 Yankees). That never ends and actually probably increases.

CJ Cregg is absolutely my favorite character, very closely by Toby Ziegler. Sam rocked this episode.

Y'all pick up on stuff so quickly! Great episode. Great reaction.

As you say, CJ has a really tough time of it sometimes. When it’s something she feels passionately about, like the hate crime legislation, you can see how troubled she feels when it clashes with her role as press secretary. Great, nuanced acting by Allison Janney there!

Definitely. Toby Zeigler may be my favorite character on the show, but Allison Janney might give the best overall performance of the cast.

Leo really does accept responsibility for his drug and alcohol problems. He is a class act all the way through.

I wanted to say so much stuff about this episode, about the magnificent reply of the father of the guy, about the whole beautiful dynamic between CJ, Danny and Jed But I think the best comment is just that nobody ever explained addiction better than Leo did at the end of the episode. It was astonishing and perfect
