Location
Hawk and Dove
Josh proposes Hawk and Dove to Donna after their policy spat: he buys rounds until she loosens up, laughter cutting through lingering tension. This nearby bar pulls double duty as conciliatory truce spot and off-hours refuge for exhausted staffers dodging White House deadlines. Dim interiors promise cold beers and brief detachment from bullpen chaos, personal strains, and looming crises like Danny's Bermuda scoop.
