Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter

Written by Eli Attie

A rogue PAC called a "527"  runs a borderline-libelous attack ad against Santos, which neither Santos nor Vinick want on the air. In an unprecedented additional synchronization, neither Vinick nor Santos wants to attend the Catholic charity event of the title. The problem is, the RNC doesn't find that ad to be a detriment, and the DNC is wrestling with the impulse to fire back. Meanwhile, a familiar face returns to the public eye under the auspices of the Santos campaign.


  • The Bus Came Back: Donna shows up at Louise's request, shocking the hell out of Josh.
  • Call-Back: Will inherits Toby's red rubber ball.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Vinick is furious with the rogue PAC that brought abortion into the campaign without his authorization because he intended to run a clean campaign without any attack ads or insults based on vague or no statements regarding X policy that Santos would have.
