The West Wing | CJ/Donna "Let's not do this"

© Warner Brothers

from The West Wing, S05E20 "No Exit," teleplay by Carol Flint and Debora Cahn, directed by Julie Hébert

---

Donna has already been confronted by an angry staffer who was thrown off the upcoming Gaza CODEL when Josh tasked Donna to join it. C.J. recognizes this as typical Josh manipulation but also angers Donna by saying she puts up with it because of how she feels about Josh. Donna later returns the favor when she sees C.J. cancel a trip with her boyfriend for no good reason, and bristles when C.J. asks why Donna didn't ask out a young reporter who was flirting with her. C.J. seems to get under Donna's skin the most when she bluntly says that despite Donna's insistence that Josh has given Donna every opportunity to expand her career, she'd have outgrown her job as his assistant 3 years ago. They stop speaking to each other, but Donna also ignores Josh's bellowing and leaves the White House once the crisis is over without tending to Josh.

I love that CJ and Donna had these scenes together! I wish there had been more!
