Woman 2nd

Woman 2nd attends a private White House gathering celebrating Zoey Bartlet's graduation. Seated at a table with other guests, she initiates light banter by noting her husband Jerry's week-long sighs and asks if President Bartlet mirrors the behavior. She laughs at responses and contributes to the group's social ease. Her jokes provide levity against Jed Bartlet's quiet grief over family photos, just before Leo McGarry and Ron Butterfield deliver urgent news.
