Ben Ehrenreich

Ben Ehrenreich, a high school classmate of Marco Arlens and C.J. Cregg, appears in post-reunion reminiscences in a parking lot. Marco calls him sweet and recalls Ben's single attempt to kiss him, framing Ben as a warm, bold figure from their shared past. This nod highlights the intimate bonds of small-town youth that momentarily draw C.J. from her White House duties, blending nostalgia with subtle flirtation amid her family grief.
