Gustav

Gustav ascends as Sweden's king, his hands bestowing the Nobel Prize in Economics upon Jed Bartlet in Stockholm's glow. Mere hours later, amid party revelry, he absorbs Bartlet's relentless paternal torrent—Ellie's third-grade multiplication mastery, fifth-grade reading prowess, soccer triumphs, literary passions—his regal composure weathering the laureate's shift from global intellect to beaming father. This tableau etches Gustav as patient sovereign, humanizing monarchy's weight with indulgent ear turned to personal triumphs eclipsing prize glory.
