Brian and Joelle had broken up three months before 9/11 but had stayed in touch - they had really liked each other, but were each just too married to their jobs to work at the relationship. Prior to 9/11 Joelle was a domestic politics manager for the Brookings Institution (an education, policy and social sciences think-tank) and had repeatedly tried to get Brian to leave his job with Chafee and come work for them. In part she disagreed with Republican politics and wanted Brian out of it, in part she thought that them being closer during the work day might help their relationship.
- In the four years since 9/11, Joelle has been promoted and is now the Director of Humanitarian Issues and Human Rights for the Brookings Institution. She has a special interest for Internally Displaced Persons and is currently involved in the Survivor case of 17 year old Zaida binte Shouk.
- She is also dating the Sudanese Ambassador to the United States, Khidir Haroun Ahmed. Brian has protested this relationship, claiming that Ahmed is dating Joelle for political reasons. Joelle has laughed off the accusation, claiming that Brian's only jealous.
- Joelle has recently accepted Brian's offer of a job as Executive Director of The Hopewell Foundation although, due to her continuing work at Brookings, she will be unable to start that job until the beginning of 2006. In the meanwhile, though, she was able to use her position to convince the U.S. Government to allow a representative of the Hopewell Foundation (Brian) to speak with Zaida.
