Toby leaves as Amy comes waltzing up with a question from FLOTUS about the pool spray. They confirm that it's just photos of Zoey walking with her dad. You know, it seemed to me that, in the last episode, they were taking some pains to hide Mary-Louise Parker's pregnancy, but in this episode -- not so much. I keep wondering if they'll write it into the script. I would have to think not, because didn't we already see a pretty similar version of that storyline with Andi last year? I mean, sure, Amy's not as powerful or high-profile as Andi, but how different would this be? Unless there's going to be some big soapy drama over whether Josh is the father or Tandy's the father or she just got tired of waiting and set up a hot date with a turkey baster. Amy asks about the photo op with the family tonight at the fireworks; C.J. says it's the White House photographer only. If Zoey's not into it, they'll cancel.
C.J. starts her briefing as Donna comes over to her cubicle to give Swimtern some instructions. What is with Jesse Bradford's Orville Redenbacher hair in this show? He was so cute as Cliff in Bring It On, and now...well, clearly Abby's hairstylist is two-timing her. It's too long and looks doofy parted in the middle. Reminds me of what's wrong with Rob Lowe's hair when it's at its worst. Ryan's dressed in a preppy sport coat outfit. As Donna's telling him to take a bunch of boxes to the OEOB, he's yammering on the phone to his pal Jay Gatsby about why he has to work on the holiday and can't possibly spend the afternoon on a catamaran. He hands the phone to Donna, asking, "Can you explain to this loser why I can't go sailing?" She takes the phone and says, "Dude, Ryan's not on board 'cause he's taking some boxes over to the OEOB for me." She hangs up and hands him his phone. She tells him to get on it. Yeah, dude. The only fool she suffers gladly is Josh. Speak of the devil: he comes cruising through, and Donna leaves Ryan to ponder how to achieve the transport of the boxes without actually engaging in manual labour, or preferably any kind of labour whatsoever. Does there always have to be some overprivileged young git with more money than brains on this show? Now that Tartuffe's fifteen minutes are up, did they think we'd like this character better if he were American? Because Frenchy's Frenchness wasn't his problem. Anyway, Donna tells Josh that Haffley called again with some questions about the agenda. Josh asks if she told him it was about the selection of VPOTUS. Donna thinks he wants to hear some names. Josh: "Well, he better [sic] be at the meeting."
