This episode showcases the ultimate mission of leadership- to do the right thing.  A Good example is President Biden passing the torch of leadership to a younger generation.  A Bad example is shown in Senator J.D. Vance's accepting his role and responsibilities to be Donald Trump's Vice-President pick.  Lastly, an Ugly example is demonstrated by the moral, ethical, and legal ineptitude of an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas.  Thomas and Vance have sold themselves out to wealth power and position.  Biden has chosen to do the right thing.
