The President wings back from a Tokyo trade summit, a firestorm of controversy awaits him when Surgeon General Griffith (Mary Kay Place) hints that marijuana should be decriminalized - but Bartlet is even more incensed over his meek middle daughter Ellie's (Nina Siemaszko) public assurances that her father would never fire Griffith. When he confronts Ellie, the President gets a sobering reality check about their relationship. Elsewhere: Toby floats an idea of putting a controversial Senator on a special commission to study social security reform and encounters resistance to the notion of raising the retirement age; Sam tries to head off the misleading story that the White House refused to screen an incendiary new film promoted by a savvy movie producer.
