* CringeComedy: The entire meeting in the Oval Office with Bartlet high off his pain meds being, shall we say, less than eloquent. The staffers can't leave without the President's permission, nor can they ask the President to shut up and go away, plus [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers it's just plain funny watching the President hug Toby]].

* JerkassHasAPoint: Congressman Tillinghouse is a bit of a StrawmanPolitical when it comes to his reasons for holding out on the gun bill, and most of the other congressmen don't exactly have stirling reasons for voting against the bill. But he's nevertheless got a point when he informs Hoynes that they're still US congressmen and should be treated with some respect rather than Josh's bullying tactics.
Added DiffLines:
* RunningGag: Josh's elegant smoking jacket, a gift from a Sarah Wissinger, which is revealed to the world via the financial disclosures and makes him a subject of endless mockery among his coworkers.

* StrawmanPolitical: The hold-out congressmen don't come off looking that great, as their reasons for holding their votes back range from political cowardice and not wanting to be attacked by the [=NRA=], attention-seeking PR games and rather stereotypical and strawmanny "I want guns if the bad guys have guns!" conservatism. About the only one who is treated positively is Congressman Richardson, whose gripe is that the law is meaningless and doesn't go far enough in addressing the problem.

* {{Hubris}}: Leo diagnoses the senior staff with this at the end, and he has a point; Josh going for a [[UsefulNotes/LyndonJohnson LBJ-style]] stick-and-no-carrot approach with the hold-out congressmen only serves to get them furious and seeking political retribution, and Leo's attempt to talk to Congressman Richardson rather than have to get Hoynes' help and thus risk owing him a favour backfires, meaning that not only do they have to bring in Hoynes anyway but he uses the previous resentment Josh caused to make it seem like ''he'' was responsible for getting the bill passed.

* PetTheDog: Hoynes's self-serving manipulation of the crime bill negotiations to take the credit for them is balanced by his genuine compassion towards Leo over the collapse of his marriage, confessing that he is also an alcoholic and inviting Leo to participate in his Alcoholics Anonymous group.

* ForgottenAnniversary: Leo gets so caught up in the news they lost five votes that he forgets it's his wedding anniversary. He tries to make it up to his wife by arranging a lavish dinner for the next night but when he arrives she's got her bags packed and a taxi waiting.
