After reading in the paper that literacy rates are nearing an all-time low, Judith plans to launch a children's literacy program. Sullivan convinces her to start it with the highly popular former First Lady, Katherine Twigg, who was responsible for her own literacy program in the past. Feeling inferior, Judith goes out of her way to impress Katherine, but Katherine hates her anyway for trying to steal her campaign. After Katherine calls Judith a dumb hick, the two First Ladies get into it smack in the middle of the program's launch. Meanwhile, Katherine's head agent and Agent Pillows share some shocking revelations about her to Dag, while Camilla's new relationship with an intern, Steve, is intercepted every step of the way by Agent Cole.

Dag gets annoyed with Judith after she ruins the end of a book he was reading. Sullivan tries to fit in with the rest of the B-Team by joining them for a round of drinks in their favorite bar, Mikey J's, where Sullivan and Dag share anecdotes about Judith's quirks. Judith gets equally annoyed with Dag after Sullivan stabs him in the back and repeats his comments about her to make himself look better in Judith's eyes. When the rest of the B-Team find out that Sullivan stiffed their waitress, Sullivan retaliates by making up false complaints to the health department about Mikey J's, which is soon shut down. Dag and the others plot to get even with Sullivan while Dag simultaneously tries to smooth things over with Judith. Also, Steve breaks up with Camilla.

Judith calls Dag after Camilla says that she doesn't want to go to her prom, because the Secret Service will be there. Since Camilla really wants to go with her new date, Jeremy, Dag compromises by offering her minimum visibility protection. In assigning positions, Sullivan becomes chaperone, and Cole, an undercover high school student. Judith arranges for Sullivan to hook up with a former prom date that could've been, Patti, only to find out while he's chaperoning what a menace she's become. Meanwhile, a heavily made-up Cole makes another attendee jealous when her boyfriend develops a wandering eye pointed squarely in Cole's direction. Judith defies Dag's orders and tags along with him to listen to things from the monitoring van. Judith's family stories cause Dag to blow up, claiming he doesn't care to know them if it doesn't involve his job. Dag proves he does care by saving the day after Jeremy is caught on the microphones saying that he's using Camilla to get a good tabloid story.

Sullivan arranges for Judith to give a speech in honor of Olympic gold medallist, Becky Jo Jensen. The young athlete turns out to be so annoyingly spirited that Judith blows her top at her halfway through the media event. Now that they're both in the same boat, Dag offers Judith tips on what to do to save face with an angry public. Heeding his advice, Judith arranges another event to personally apologize to Becky Jo. But Dag copes with his own problem when he learns that Agent Morton is becoming President Whitman's friend and living the high life he never did. Meanwhile, Camilla begs Judith to let her get a tattoo, while Judith and Sullivan fall mouth-over-heels for Dag's special blend of coffee -- coffee he insists is right out of a bag.

The hard-nosed head of the F.B.I., Betty Winn, pays the White House a visit and crushes Judith's plans to start up an F.B.I.-endorsed youth crime-prevention program. Betty's passing mention of an upcoming basketball match between the Secret Service and the F.B.I. invokes Judith to hedge a bet between the two: if the Secret Service's team beats the F.B.I.'s, Betty will agree to provide agents for Judith's crime program. Only there's just one problem; the F.B.I. never loses. Dag agrees to coach the B-Team, hires a ringer to help sway the odds in their favor, and becomes so confident of their chances of winning that he makes a side bet with the F.B.I. Unfortunately for the B-Team, Dag's secret weapon -- Agent Freddy ""Shooter"" Jones -- is not quite the b-ball superstar Dag was led to believe.

Dag tries to keep Judith's smoking habit under wraps, which is no easy feat after she accidentally lights the AIDS quilt on fire. Judith blames it on the Secret Service, and Morton soon believes Dag is the one who's smoking. Judith twists around Dag's advice and decides to launch an anti-smoking campaign to boost her approval rating -- even though she has no intention of quitting herself. Camilla pulls a stint that causes her mother to get caught in the act in front of her campaignees. Dag uses Camilla to get Judith to quit, the same way he quit himself years ago. But Judith's campaign sparks a visit from a tobacco lobbyist, Senator Culpepper, who is none too pleased about her new goal, and schemes to get her to start smoking again. Meanwhile, after a pact is made, Agent Cole threatens to smash Pillows' pinky with a hammer if he eats meat.

It's the president's birthday, and everybody plans a party for him. Judith becomes jealous when President Whitman invites Playboy's Miss March to come. Sullivan is having an internet fling with a girl named Jodi and considers going to Ohio to meet her, even though Ginger swears he's typing to an old man. Camilla gets accepted to Harvard, and Agent Cole is unhappy that she will have to leave the White House in six weeks to accompany her. Judith is upset when Miss March winds up at the president's table for his birthday dinner. Dag sees that Miss March is about to feed the president coconut cake -- which he's allergic to -- and, this time, jumps in the way to save him... injuring Miss March in the process. Grateful to Dag for saving his life, President Whitman promotes him back to the A-Team -- at the expense of Morton, who's demoted to the B-Team. Agent Pillows gets depressed that Cole is leaving, but, to Dag's dismay, Judith doesn't seem to care in the least that he's leaving her. Sull

Dag asks Agents Cole and Pillows to lie for him and pretend he's still working for the A-Team, as his father, Russell, is in town and Dag is too ashamed to tell him he's been demoted. The elder Daggett finds out anyway -- and makes Dag feel even more ashamed. Russell, a champion in putt-putt, guilts his son into a match. Which is not too hard since Dag wants to give his over-critical old man something to be proud of. Meanwhile, Judith forces Camilla to redo a term paper she turned in that compared McCarthyism to Felicity and Britney Spears. Of course, the First Lady is unaware at the time that Sullivan wrote it -- and Camilla paid him a hundred dollars for it. And Russell knows a few incriminating things about Ginger from his former career as a beat cop, while Cole can't seem to take the hint that her dad is gay.
