Object
Jar of Oregano (Residence Kitchen — Zoey's Chili scene)
A palm‑sized, squat glass spice jar topped with a metal screw lid, packed with dried, crumbled green oregano flakes. The glass bears faint fingerprints and a tiny smear of chili on the rim. Characters pinch a few flakes between fingers, pass the jar across the stove‑side counter, and lift conspiratorial tastes together, the jar serving as an intimate, tactile prop in the kitchen exchange.

Purpose
A cooking spice container used to add oregano flakes to dishes—specifically employed to season Zoey's chili during the scene.
Significance
The jar functions as a small instrument of intimacy and rebellion: passing it breaks White House protocol, invites Charlie into Zoey's private joke, and exposes Josh's protective tension. The shared pinches and the chili smear turn a mundane object into a bond‑forging prop that raises personal stakes beneath domestic levity.
