    Bra?

    So Kate left her bra at Wills? That's cute, but did she really get dressed and leave without her bra on? If I got dressed and left without my socks on I would definitely notice it.

    • Trivia
      The title has a double meaning, referring to both the risk to Senator Vinnick's health image as he develops a cold, and President Bartlet's worries over the possibility of sending U.S. troops into a conflict in an extremely cold region.
    • Goofs
      When Josh is talking to the White House Advanced Scheduling regarding Leo's inability to attend a night meeting, he takes the cell phone from Annabeth and placed the back of the cell phone on his ear. The front face of the cell phone is clearly visible when the camera pans to Josh's left. This is corrected in the next shot.
    • Quotes

      Annabeth Schott: Why is there hugging?

      Donna Moss: Vinick has a cold.

      Annabeth Schott: Well, that's precious.
