In Excelsis Deo
Flamingo and the Moral Ask
Bermuda is invoked as Sam's imminent escape — a narrative pressure valve that contrasts idyllic distance with the urgent political mess he cannot fully leave behind, sharpening the choice between personal respite and professional obligation.
Atmosphere
Imagined sunlit escape invoked jokingly; functions as a temporal deadline and personal wish rather than a present environment.
Functional Role
Offstage alibi and motivator that underscores Sam's desire to avoid being dragged into moral murk before he departs.
Symbolic Significance
Symbolizes the temptation to flee responsibility and the narrowing window before unavoidable decisions.
Access Restrictions
N/A (offstage reference)
Mention of sun, tan oil, and a 27‑hour countdown
Contrast between warm seaside imagery and the cold West Wing urgency
