that he has thought about asking Zoey to marry him, but the storyline is never revisited. At the beginning of season four, C. J. Cregg asks Charlie to become a Big Brother to Anthony Marcus, a troubled young man whose previous Big Brother, Secret Service agent Simon Donovan, has recently been killed. He declines initially until he witnesses Anthony disrespect C. J. to her face saying " I don't need a babysitter bitch are you deaf?" Charlie (while walking by) turns around and slams Anthony against a wall telling him he can "go to juvenile detention or meet me at Cosmo's on Saturday the choice is yours." Although initially quiet and subservient toward the President and his staff, as Charlie settles into his job he becomes more open with his colleagues and develops a strong rapport with Bartlet. Bartlet demonstrates his affection for Charlie by giving him a carving knife made for Bartlet's ancestors by Paul Revere, stating that it was something passed down: "My father gave it to me and his father gave it to him, and now I'm giving it to you." (The Bartlets have no biological son to inherit the knife.) This father-son dynamic grows stronger as the show progresses, and following the abduction of Zoey Bartlet, Charlie is the only non-family member to attend a private mass held for the Bartlets.

When a number of gunshots are fired on the White House, he bursts through security into the Oval Office to ensure Bartlet is unhurt. After graduating from Georgetown, Charlie is forced to make good on a promise he made to the President to move on and leave his job as the President's bodyman once he graduated, as Bartlet says to Charlie "Let's fatten up that résumé." Charlie finds it hard to leave the White House and begins passing his résumé around the West Wing. C. J. Cregg, the newly appointed Chief of Staff, asks Charlie to stay in the West Wing as a special aide to the Chief of Staff. A man named Curtis replaces Charlie as President Bartlet's bodyman. As C. J.'s aide, Charlie begins to interact more importantly with the other members of the staff, and
