Character

Gary Saunders

resentful petty hostile

Gary Saunders holds the rank of deputy in the Department of Energy, his career stalled when C.J. selects Simon Glazer for promotion instead. Resentment erupts in a hallway ambush: as C.J. rushes past en route to the Kennedy Center terrace, Saunders unleashes a jeering boo, raw hostility slicing through White House corridors. This petty retaliation exposes fault lines in staff loyalties, petty grudges undermining cohesion as grander crises like the Galileo probe demand unified focus.
