It's just like when Josh showed up in NY and interrupted Sam's meeting to go to New Hampshire!!!

AHHHHHHHHH! I loooooooooooooooooove it!

(I know Santos is the president-elect but doesn't it seem logical that he's have guidance for calls with the Russian president when everything is so sensitive?)

"Your showing up does have a nostalgic symmetry."

Sam: Do you have any idea how much I'm making?
Josh: It will make me want to puke.
Sam: Not make you want to. You'll actually puke.

Gah. He looks go GOOD.

"You're me to my Leo." *flails*

"It's how much I want you. I'm willing to channel my mother." *flails more*

Really, though...Josh is a mess.

In interesting to see Santos in the sit room where he's obviously more knowledgeable than Bartlett was his first go round but he's doing the same thing Barlett with the steamrolling. (OMG. They're tapping his phone without his knowledge. Couldn't they have, um, sat in with him instead?)

Oh, Josh and Donna! We finally get our kiss! I'll admit I was waiting for that. Everything else was nice but an onscreen kiss was in order. They're in love, Josh is a mess, and Donna's come into her own.

"You get all the cool names." And, "After 15 years of marriage I'd be shocked if you were awed." I love Santos and his wife. A lot.

Donna! As the first lady's CoS! That's an interesting and unexpected twist. I'm trying to think through all of the Josh/Donna working together scenarios and that's one I certainly hadn't though of. If anything, it will get Donna out of Josh's direct line of command. ETA: I'm glad Donna get's that, too.

"Well, I'm sure there are a number of things she would do for you that I'd balk at." I LOVE them. Josh is fabulous and Sam is the prettiest thing in the history of EVER.

Hmmmmm. This is interesting with the call to China. I don't disagree with Santos' frustration but he makes decisions based on inexperience. (Though, if I was him, I'd be through the roof that my phone was tapped and I didn't know it.)

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM! He's back and I LOVE him and he's TOTALLY going to rein Josh in. Love. Him. (Man. Look at Josh's twitchy nervous energy.)

Wow. Santos and Bartlett have a plan. They have a plan. Color me blindsided. I'm all warm and glowy.

"...borderline or not so borderline pathologic avoidance thing..." I do adore Josh's idiosyncrasies.

I saw it coming but...Donna! On vacation with Josh! This is so a FOREVER kind of thing.

Next week? Vinick? Is he going to ask Vinick???

I love this show. I will miss this show. A lot.

ETA:
