List of The West Wing episodes

"The Fall's Gonna Kill You" is the 42nd episode of The West Wing.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

White House Counsel Oliver Babish menacingly questions C.J. and Abbey about the President's MS cover-up and Josh enlists Joey Lucas (Marlee Matlin) to take a hush-hush poll on it. Meanwhile, new estimates project a smaller-than-expected budget surplus—and that cheers staffers; and a Chinese satellite has fallen out of its orbit and is hurtling to earth at 2000 mph, and no one's concerned but Donna.

The title, as referenced by CJ in the episode, is from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. She tells Josh at the end "You guys are like Butch and Sundance peering over the edge of a cliff to the boulder-filled rapids 300 feet below, thinking you better not jump 'cause there's a chance you might drown. The President has this disease and has been lying about it, and you guys are worried that the polling might make us look bad? It's the fall that's gonna kill ya."
