Basement Room
Concrete walls trap stale air thick with dread as senior staff packs the basement room, eyes locked on a flickering screen where the opposition ad slithers—honor, truth, morality twisting into daggers aimed at Bartlet's concealed MS. Bruno's stare bores through the dimness, unmasking the 'drawer' weapon's lethal intent; Sam's surge for confrontation slams against Josh, Toby, C.J.'s iron blockade, paranoia spiking as Toby ghosts out for media fires, unity splintering into raw suspicion under the campaign's existential blade.
