Who Even is Edith Wilson? | The West Wing Season 2 Episode 21
The moment has come for the most devastating episode yet, Season 2 Episode 21 “18th and Potomac.” It’s all Leigh and Fi can do to actually recap the whole episode and not jump right to the gut punch at the very end with the death of our dearly departed, the legend, the icon that was Dolores Landingham. Frankly, Fi is very angry with Aaron Sorkin for killing off such a classy dame as Mrs. Landingham. Joey Lucas delivers her polling data on the president’s illness and the news is not good for President Bartlet and Abbey’s professional credibility is put under a spotlight. Fi is deep in the grieving process and Leigh tries to pull her out with an absolute romp, the fascinating life and times of Edith Wilson. With honourable mention to Sagitarius, big tobacco and rogue First Ladies.
