Inaugural Ballroom Front Door

The front door frames the ballroom's exit as President Bartlet and Abbey lead C.J., Toby, and Secret Service agents in procession across the crowded dance floor. Staff cut through dancers toward this threshold, their silent advance projecting unity after the Khundu deployment choice. No physical details emerge beyond its role as egress target amid the inauguration's merriment.

Before: Visible ahead of the procession as the intended exit target, closed and awaiting the group's approach.

After: Approached by the group as they leave the ballroom; it becomes the frame through which the public image departs and the sequence dissolves.
