In the season premiere, flashbacks reveal how the President will officially announce his plans to run for re-election, which sends his staff into disarray as they work on the speech. But two problems dog them when Sam realises that Bartlet never apologized for not disclosing his multiple sclerosis while CJ makes a crucial gaffe during a press conference. Meanwhile, the Chief Executive has his own problems with wife Abbey who is still fuming that she was not consulted in his decision. Outside the Beltway, the President must decide if he should greenlight a military rescue of the besieged U.S. embassy in Haiti and chief counsel Babish (Oliver Platt) informs Charlie to hire his own expensive lawyer before a special prosecutor begins looking into Bartlet's possible concealment of his illness.
