Club Iota Table

Josh and Toby occupy seats at this table inside Club Iota during a late-night debate on humanitarian intervention doctrine. Josh pushes American responsibility; Toby warns of political costs and precedents. The table holds their tense exchange until Josh probes about Donna and Toby deflects, with Jill Sobule nearby and C.J. interrupting to announce a leak-driven crisis. Donna hovers as loyalties surface amid the club's night hum.

Before: Occupied by Josh and Toby along with drinks and the ambient club activity.

After: Briefly vacated as staff rise to leave; remains physically unchanged but its social function shifts from informal meeting place to abandoned staging area.

The Club Iota table anchors the conversation: it is where Josh and Toby sit and argue, where phones and pagers vibrate, and where the social dynamic collapses into operational urgency; it functions as domestic furniture that witnesses the tonal collapse from argument to command.

Before: Occupied by Josh and Toby with drinks and the ambient detritus of a late-night debate.

After: Still occupied briefly as phones ring; then vacated as staff rise and depart for the office.
