selina meyer is rly the representation for evil and manipulative women that the world needs. no one else is doing it like her. fucking half her male staff then firing them for it, using her daughter's wedding as a distraction to escape from international law enforcement, scapegoating her most loyal employee for a high-profile federal crime, having her ex-husband killed by the chinese government. you get the picture

Toby, CJ, and taking blame?

Something that got me thinking in 1x11 (Lord John Marbury), when Toby and CJ have their apology conversation near the end of the episode. It's the aftermath or her being left out of the room/the conversation about the India/Pakistan stuff going on, which made her sound really stupid and also made it quite clear the guys don't always see her as a real trustworthy member of the team.

Because I love the little detail that Toby starts what is going to be an apology to CJ, with "I feel I didn't have the opportunity to properly articulate my argument."

Because he did, he just didn't manage it!

He's referring to their earlier conversation, where he may have intended to apologise or something along those lines, but ended up basically saying that they don't trust her to do her job. She explains how this affects how the press corps and the public sees her, how hard she's had to work to gain their respect in the first place. He more or less confirms that there's a lack of respect because "people see you with Danny". And when she says "you sent me in their uninformed so I would lie to the press," Toby explicitly says "We sent you in there uninformed because we thought there was a chance you couldn't."

He explains that perfectly well. There was room to say anything else or to talk around it more, but he cut to the core of it very well. It's just not what he should have said if he wanted to actually make CJ feel better, but "didn't have the opportunity" is simply not true. There was opportunity.

And that's so interesting, cause that deflection of blame comes right before Toby takes the blame for something he didn't do.

When CJ asks who made the call to keep her out of it, Toby takes the blame for that even though he didn't! Leo made that call in the spur of the moment, the other guys just went along with it without making a fuss. It was never Toby's call or idea to leave CJ out of the loop. He's happy to take the blame for that, though, so that he can apologise to her and they can be okay, and that will be that.

And I love that! When he's apologising for the thing he actually did wrong (namely explicitly telling her "we don't trust you to do your job well"), he starts the conversation off with that slight way of framing it as though it wasn't really his fault, as if he just wasn't given the chance to say what he really wanted to say.

Toby seems to find it easier to take the blame for something that he, himself, is aware he didn't do, than to take the accountability for what he actually said himself, even though obviously from CJ's perspective now he did both things and it won't make that same difference to her. CJ doesn't know that he didn't make the call to leave her out. From her perspective, he's apologising for something he did, and he deflected blame for something else he did. The only person for which this makes a difference is Toby himself, who has an easier time taking blame for something he knows he didn't do, versus taking the blame for something he actually did do wrong.

(There's a way to draw this along all the way to the leak, and the way he spends an entire month waiting to confess to leaking that information. With that same difficulty in admitting to the thing he actually did, while he has a way more easy time declaring over and over again that he did it himself, with no one who told him about the information, because that's not something he actually did wrong. Taking the blame further and further for something he couldn't have found out all by himself, while it takes a month to be able to say he did the actual leaking. I'm not articulating that particularly well but I swear it made sense in my head.)

So back to the conversation at hand, last thought: I especially love that in a conversation and apology about CJ getting blamed by the press for something that really wasn't her fault, and how she's spent the whole episode upset about that.

Toby has a much easier time taking blame for something that wasn't his fault, because knowing for himself that it wasn't his fault is enough, he doesn't need everyone else to know that it wasn't. For CJ, getting blamed for something she didn't do is terrible, and knowing that people think she fucked something up that wasn't her fault in the first place makes it a lot more frustrating than if she'd just screwed it up herself, on her own account. (Which could be tied back to her reaction to her screw-up in Manchester I and II but I won't go into that mess now cause I'll spend another five paragraphs talking.)

Just. I love that conversation, I love the details in it, I love their interactions and I love the implications in their behaviour. There's just so much to unpack about Toby's character I adore him fr. That's that lmao.

Top five misleading Les Misérables chapter titles

5. “Wherein will appear the name of Enjolras’ mistress” - the mistress was France, it’s always France

4. “In which they adore each other” - they can’t stand each other

3. “A Merry End to Mirth” - nothing merry about this chapter

2. “The Man Aroused” - zero boners, just moral conflict

1. “A Few Pages of History” - it’s never just a few pages

In my opinion, the explosion does not happen, because Lawrence is proud, or ambitious, or too sinful. It's because he breaks the eighth commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour", aka you mustn't lie. Because he says before casting the vote (at least in the book, not sure of the exact wording in the movie) - I call as my witness Christ the Lord, who will be my judge, that my vote is given to the one who before God I think should be elected. And well, he lies. He does not think he should be elected. So Christ is his judge.
