The episode kicks off with Donaldson, Kennedy, Iacocca, and Koch competing in a lively game of "Political Jeopardy." Meanwhile, at D.C. Follies, it’s Valentine's Day and Fred is reminiscing about his former romance with Princess Di. He recalls their relationship, culminating in a heartbreaking "Casablanca" moment where he urges Di to marry Charles. In a surprising twist, Margaret Thatcher turns to Madonna for assistance in reinventing her public persona, leading to a quirky music video project.
