Plot summary

The Santos campaign's "education week" is derailed by a controversy over teaching intelligent design; however, the Santos campaign turns the issue around, playing off Vinick's vulnerability as a pro-choice Republican on religious issues. In the White House, subpoenas are being handed down. Palestinian Chairman Farad is murdered by a Palestinian suicide bomber. As Bartlet is determined to attend the funeral despite security concerns, C.J. is hounded by a lone intelligence agent who believes Farad's death was part of a larger conspiracy. She then finds out Kazakhstan's leader has also been assassinated – as the agent predicted. Toby reveals to C.J. that he was responsible for the security leak.
