[7.6/10] Pretty good episode. I appreciated the heaven and hell of it all, how the team was initially over the moon about moving into the White House and how reality set in -- that they’d have the same screw-ups and drama and mistakes that this crew usually has, only they’d be even bigger because they’re coming from the President’s office. The honeymoon wearing off quickly to where everyone realizes that Selina still came in third in the primary and that the team’s messing things up left and right was a nice direction to go.

The bit with Dan using Jonah to avoid having to take the fall for the Chung torture story was a bit contrived, but it worked well enough as a reason for Jonah to be back in the fold. Ben is hilarious as always, with his bewildered, demoralized response to Selina asking him to be chief of staff seeming particularly perfect.

Otherwise, the squeaky shoe bit was cheesy, but nicely representative of all of this, and the awkwardness of Selina’s chat with the foreman of the fireman supply factory was funny. Overall, a nice way to cap off the season.
