The Cold

Will offers to hold on to Kate's bra until 'the time....' He trails off at the end. They part, and Will tells her, 'We'll get better at this.' They certainly couldn't get worse.

On the way out of the Oval, C.J. blah-blahs a bit with Kate about NATO. And then Kate peels off of that conversation and starts pedeconferencing with Will. He tells her, "I've got a thing of yours." She's relieved to learn that he has her Pyongyang report, but he tells her that's absolutely not what he has. She keeps describing the report, and he interrupts her to say, "It's a bra." That brings her up short. Will adds, "I put it in a padded envelope, which seemed appropriate." I'm not a connoisseur of the female form, but I seriously doubt Mary McCormack needs any padding. ["I am very intimate with the female form, which is how I can tell you that even some bras for the well-endowed are padded, to give the wearer's rack some shape." -- Wing Chun] Will asks Kate if she wants it now, and she tells him "no" before tentatively changing her answer to "yes." She tells him to keep it, and he asks, "Permanently?" Superspy Kate suggests that he mail it to her from his home address so that nobody at the White House will have a chance to intercept it. They both agree that's a needlessly complicated idea. Will offers to hold on to it until "the time...." He trails off at the end. They part, and Will tells her, "We'll get better at this." They certainly couldn't get worse.

Josh, Santos, Leo, and various hangers-on charge down a hotel corridor to an elevator. Josh is shouting strategy and instructions all the way. They continue talking strategy as they walk through some back area of the hotel. Except this time, instead of walking through a kitchen, it appears to be some kind of hotel decorating storeroom. There are about fifty thousand hideous lamps on the shelves. Leo points out that the nuclear accident created a lot of undecided voters who haven't yet switched to Santos. To get them to make the switch, he thinks Santos needs to sound a bit more like a Republican: "They're gonna want to hear about deficit reduction, they're gonna want to hear you're gonna put more cops on the streets." The brainstorming continues as they walk down an echo-filled utility hallway. Josh comes up with a tag line about Santos's "vision" as they enter a freight elevator.

The freight elevator opens and the Santos campaign members walk out into the sun. Leo, with a phone to his ear, tells them, "The 'Santos education plan' is now the 'twenty-first century education plan.'" And so on. Josh is going to have Joey Lucas poll some of the new language, and Bram asks what state he should have Advance prepare for first. Josh: "That's easy." Santos: "California." They all hop in their various SUVs and limos. And, whoops, Josh and Donna have ended up sitting in the back of an SUV together. They each breathlessly say "hi" as the SUV pulls away.
