Claire Huddle works as an intern in Vice President John Hoynes's office. She attends late-night staff meetings with Hoynes, his chief of staff Stevie, aide Mark, and others, remaining unobtrusive and exiting when dismissed ahead of sensitive discussions. Nervous yet determined, she arrives at the White House by cab during a rain-soaked pre-dawn hour, accepts a security badge from Charlie Young, enters the Oval Office past senior staff, and hands President Bartlet a folded resignation letter from Hoynes, effective 6 A.M., marking a pivotal crisis delivery.
