cells: The private tape recordings of Kirkman's therapy sessions have been leaked to the press. The White House staff scrambles to expose the leaker. Vice President Darby convenes a secret Cabinet meeting to discuss whether to remove Kirkman under the 25th Amendment, and ruthless attorney Ethan West (Michael J. Fox) is brought in to investigate Kirkman's past. A weary president ponders briefly whether he really feels fit to remain in office. Seth dresses down the White House press corps by reminding them any man---never mind a president---would be traumatised by his wife's unexpected death.
