Fax from Amy

Donna grips the fax from Amy in Josh's crowded bullpen late at night, her voice steady as she reads aloud its key line: the First Lady has hired her as chief of staff, acting on Josh's advice. The pages also detail campaign updates. Josh freezes mid-argument with Maddi Tatem over budget earmarks, his face paling at the personal betrayal amid the professional crisis.

Before: In campaign communications channels en route or sitting with Donna; unopened by Josh.

After: Read aloud by Donna; its content has been absorbed by staff and changed interpersonal dynamics in the bullpen.
