His brother's an astronaut, his new job as press secretary has him around reporters all day and, mostly, because a woefully underused Richard Shiff has to be looking for the Oval Office exit after seven years. Did anyone else think it looked like President Bartlet already knew it was Toby? That whole exchange about Leo being in trouble felt a little weird.
