OK, Mrs. Bartlett was being interviewed on some TV talk show, and she was asked how she felt about losing her license to practice medicine. She replied that she was just a wife and mother now. Mrs. Ritchie (sp?), wife of the Republican presidential candidate, told reporters that she (Mrs. Ritchie) felt that being a wife and mother was the greatest job she could do. Later, Mrs. Bartlett was giving a speech and some women wearing aprons and carrying rolling pins came and stood in the back. All of this has happened off camera, mind you, and we hear about it in conversations among CJ, Bruno (the media guy), and Bartlett, who is annoyed at his wife becoming a target of the Republican campaign. Near the end of the episode, Mrs. Bartlett returns to the White House and tells her husband that she is sorry for blowing it, and he tells her its all right, but he is still clearly annoyed at the Republicans. I said it was uninteresting because most of it all happened off camera, but now that I think about it, it is probably the beginning of an arc revolving around Abby Bartlett's complicity in covering up her husband's MS, and that will be a key point in the Republican campaign. That might not be a bad thing for viewers, since we'll see more of Stockard Channing.
