C.J. and Toby's Coats

C.J. pulls on her coat as Toby dons his in the late-night hotel room in Southern California. The garments hang nearby during talks on First Lady speech optics and flamethrower campaign messaging with Charlie, Sam, and Mrs. Bartlet present. Staff grab them to rush out, the motions cutting short the afterparty debrief and marking return to crisis mode.
