List of The West Wing episodes

"The U.S. Poet Laureate" is episode 60 of The West Wing.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Bartlet makes a disparaging comment about a potential Republican nominee after a television interview, not realizing that he is still being recorded (or did he realize it?). For days, C.J. must control the scandal, and Sam recalls Republican White House legal counsel Ainsley Hayes from vacation to help formulate the administration's official response. Meanwhile, Toby tries to dissuade the newly named U.S. poet laureate, Tabatha Fortis, from publicly objecting to the government's lack of support for a treaty on land mines. Bartlet ponders saving a failing computer company. And Josh is both repulsed and intrigued by the fact that there is a fan-based Web site devoted to him.

  • This is the final episode featuring Emily Procter in the recurring role as Deputy White House Counsel Ainsley Hayes. Though her departure was never explained in this episode, Hayes briefly returned in a season 7 episode Requiem in which she revealed her whereabouts.
