When a fearless special prosecutor (Nicholas Pryor) begins investigating the President's non-disclosure of his illness and issues subpoenas to the White House staff, CJ cannily tries to light a backfire by dropping clues to the press that might ultimately force the replacement of the prosecutor with someone more favorable to the Administration. Elsewhere: a real forest fire rages in Wyoming but the governor is incensed when Bartlet backs the forestry experts who believe the fire should just burn itself out; the President is in a political bind as he decides whether or not to push for the repeal of the estate tax -- or "the death tax," as labeled by his savvy rivals, and a wary Donna goes out on a blind date with a charming Republican (Mark Feuerstein) who might represent a conflict of interest.
