At the end of the day, their faith in each other is revisisted. The white powder was a false alarm and so was Frank’s nervousness for Claire. The three women Claire, Megan and the interviewer share a deep discussion and Frank arrives just in time to see his wife dominating what could’ve been a tragic embarrassment. Claire convinces her to reveal her name, Private Megan Hennesy, and go on air. It even attracts the attention of a private, who was sexually assaulted by General McGinnis in the marines.

Claire rockets herself further into a mix of lies but manages to keep her wits about her.

The tension of Gavin’s leash being yanked by the feds is getting tighter and tighter. We get a chance to see him interact more with Gavin Orsay, the hacker who will inevitably bring Lucas to his doom. Meanwhile, Lucas Goodwin is still in turmoil over the murder of Zoe Barnes. This interviewer however will not let it rest and Claire admits she had an abortion. Their still fresh-faced communications director, Connor Ellis, reminds Claire to give the usual answer when questioned for not having children. White powder is found in the mail and so Frank is stuck. A scheduled exclusive television interview with the Underwood’s is altered slightly when Frank is trapped at the United States Capitol. In fact, Claire finds herself in the spotlight this time. There is plenty more games of cat and mouse for Frank Underwood and steely eyed wife, Claire Underwood, to win. But I’m sure viewers’ doubt he will rest at that stop. From where we left off last time Frank Underwood had finally made it right into the middle of the television frame as Vice President of the United States.
