If you don't write the story where Julian starts working for the Log Cabin Republicans and then Josh Lyman shows up at Julian's office to do his political attack-dog thing, and they wind up doing a slow, awkward, confused courtship dance for months in the guise of political negotiations, and then Julian sleeps with Sam Seaborn, who he thought was just going to be an anonymous fuck in a bar, and the Josh finds out somehow and Julian realizes that Sam is the one Josh is after in the end, and meanwhile political relationships are becoming tense and strained and there's so much at stake now, and Julian is torn between using this information to take down Josh, because earning a victory for the Republicans is what his job is, in the end, and who cares how he accomplishes it -- but he genuinely likes Josh, even if he is a Democrat who keeps talking about Social Security in bed.
And so Josh goes after Sam, and leaves Julian, and just as Julian is coming to the decision to play old-school dirty politics against Josh, he meets David Hewlett, who's a very sweet Canadian actor working stage shows in D.C. to raise money for Doctors Without Borders, and these goddamn Democrats just won't leave him alone but Julian is starting to like them, maybe, just a little.
