C.J. is watching news coverage of the Speaker, who is talking about a "possible" U.S. role in the peacekeeping operation. She's ticked off by his statement. Will is in her office, and he tells her that the day's coverage was excellent. C.J.: "It's the little burst of warmth before you freeze to death." Will: "It's a little bit drafty in here, actually." She asks him to close the door, and then tells him that she's getting questions about the meeting he had with Jed. He tells her that Jed wanted his thoughts on possible NATO involvement in the peacekeeping mission. C.J. starts listing off NATO member countries. After a few seconds of this, she smiles and says, "Well, heavens to Murgatroyd." I think that a woman who would say "heavens to Murgatroyd" is liable to say "jeepers." While they had been focused on getting support from all of the members of the Security Council, they had scored support from all of the members of NATO. C.J. grabs Will and gives him a kiss on the cheek, and then opens her office door. Will asks C.J., "Does this mean you're cooking for me this weekend?" C.J.: "Not a chance." C.J. calls out to Carol to prepare a press release announcing the news: "We're moving the goal post and claiming the match."
Debbie walks out of the Near-Circular Office to find Toby and Josh waiting to see Jed. She tells them that Jed won't be there for long, so they had better get in while they can. Josh suggests that Toby go in first, because of the special relationship he has with Jed. Toby: "If by 'special' you mean 'bound for deportation.'" Debbie tells them that she doesn't know why they're so nervous. Jed isn't even that upset. Josh and Toby simultaneously turn to her and ask, "Really?" Debbie: "No, just kidding. He's ready to rip off his finger and light it like a cigarette." I wonder if that would qualify as low tar? Josh and Toby exchange a look and head in to see Jed.
