[West Wing] Someone who used to work here disappeared

So I recently got this job in the Bartlett administration and so far everything has been pretty great. I feel like I'm really a contributing member to the team and that the team is more or less doing good work for our country. That said something is really starting to bother me. There was this woman that used to work here, Mandy Hampton. She seemed to be a pretty important figure in the administration, at least she was constantly in meetings and private conversations with the President's key advisers. I even heard that she was romantically involved with Deputy Chief of Staff Joshua Lyman.  


Anyway, like I said, things were going pretty great around here and then the President got shot. Not only that but the Mr. Lyman was shot, too, and almost died. Things were pretty hectic around here for a while after the assassination attempt and I'm embarrassed to say it took me a little while to notice that Mandy wasn't around any more. Well, at least I haven't seen her since the day of the shooting. What's more confusing, and has me kinda frightened, is that I seem to be the only person that remembers her ever working here. No one ever talks about her, not even Mr. Lyman or any of the other senior advisers that she was always working with.   


Why does no one seem to remember her presence at all? How could someone leave without a trace at such an important moment? I hesitate to say what I think is actually going on because the implications are scary... but I wonder if she had anything to do with the assassination attempt. Why am I the only person that remembers her at all? Is it time travel? Aliens? I'm really scared that there is something going on here, it's as if she never existed.

Mandy felt her contributions were not being heard nor were they using her to her fullest ability. So she left in the turmoil post-assassination attempt to go back to the private sector and leave political life for good.

This was the second time Mandy abandoned the team like this so the rest of the West Wing decided to just forget about her. She wasn't part of the team so she didn't matter anymore. No sense dwelling on it.

Josh, who was closest to her out of them all, decided it best to leave things alone, but it did affect him. Let's just say that therapist he's  been rumored to be seeing isn't only there because of the PTSD.
