      There is an episode from The Good Doctor- where Richard’s character is hallucinating after brain surgery and is having a conversation with his daughter who died many years before. Both Richard and Holly Taylor are phenomenal - absolutely worth watching even if you don’t watch that show. It’s called “36 Hours” - episode 3 of season 2.

      The sadness and the emotional breakdown actually is a very very interesting storyline. It does explain everything that happens and how he ends up betraying Bartlett. I wish this could have been explored more

      ​@@derrickstorm6976 Or they knew exactly what they were doing. Life never goes how you planned, it's random, unfair and cruel sometimes and there's nothing that you can do about it except for the tiny little sliver you exert control over.
      If that feels 'off' to you, its because it is likely too real for you and ruined your suspension of disbelief.

      There was some method acting going on. Richard Schiff said on a podcast he was pretty disappointed with where they took that character.

      In the real world someone like Toby would have left the administration. The last few Bartlet years were very pragmatic, they had to be. Someone like Toby wasn't going to get anything done in that environment.

    Also masterful performances from Bradley Whitford and John Spencer at the beginner--the shock that Leo put into the word "Tuesday" when he learns that Josh didn't know that David died; and Josh's distress that he didn't go to the funeral to support the friend who found him after he was shot at Rosslyn.
