President's Bedroom Television (State of the Union Replay)

Abbey grips the remote, stabbing rewind as the State of the Union speech loops Bartlet's bipartisan Blue Ribbon Commission plea across the bedside screen's glow, her eyes burning with activist outrage under dim bedroom lamps. She kills the power sharp when Charlie knocks, screen blackening the room's tension; reignites it post-exit, audio surging back to fuel her unraveling fixation amid marital and policy fractures.
