Bartlet's only hope is that a risky secret negotiation will deliver the leader responsible for the bombings into U.S. custody. Meanwhile, Josh (Bradley Whitford) hovers worriedly by Donna's bed in a German military hospital. As doctors try to stabilise Donna's deteriorating condition, no one knows whether or not she will suffer brain damage if she survives.
