When the Mongolian government sends Elizabeth a horse as a gift, she thinks accepting it could upset other Asian countries, but she stirs up more controversy when she considers returning it to Mongolia. Also, Gov. Sam Evans threatens to sue Ohio for putting President Dalton on the election ballot, and Stevie has an interesting first day as Russell's new intern.
Just as Dalton is about to be inaugurated, Russell comes back and tries to find a way to deal with Evans who's threatening to sue over the election results. And Elizabeth gets a horse as a gift from the Mongolians over their up coming referendum but she declines it because it might appear that they are supporting the referendum when they should be neutral.. But the Mongolians tells her if she sends the horse back; because it's been out of the country, and to prevent the spreading of any disease it may have been exposed to, it will be euthanized. So she tells her people to find a place for it. And it isn't long when an animal rights group learns about her actions towards the horse and protests her actions. Henry is summoned by the CIA over his work with Murphy Station and refuses to tell him what it's all about. So he goes to Russell. And Stevie is working as an intern for Russell and he wants her to take care of a poet who will be reading poem at the inauguration. But the guy is being difficult and doesn't want to read the poem he submitted. So Stevie has to take him around to find inspiration.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
