Plot
Bartlet spends the weekend deciding on whether or not to commute the death sentence of a man convicted of drug-related murders. Josh is introduced to Joey (short for Josephine) Lucas (Marlee Matlin), who is deaf and trying to manage the campaign of Bill O'Dwyer in California. Toby's Rabbi deliberately gives a sermon that is meant to sway him into persuading the President into commuting the death sentence, and Jed Bartlet's priest comes to help.
