1.2 - Post Hoc,
Ergo Propter Hoc
Episode Number - 102
Original Airdate - September 29, 1999
Written by - Aaron Sorkin
Directed by - Thomas Schlamme
Despite warnings from fellow office workers, Sam presses his luck when he
continues his friendship with the call girl Laurie (Lisa Edelstein). CJ tries to defuse a
potentially nasty public clash between the President and his wilful Vice President (Tim
Matheson) concerning the Veep's quotes about a bill favoured by the chief executive. Josh
is unimpressed by Leo's choice for the new media director, who just so happens to be his
ex-girlfriend, Mandy Hampton. The President forges a kinship with a young African-American
Navy captain (Reuben Santiago-Hudson) who's substituting for his regular White House physician.
