All of this is established during an opening monologue from Frank, as he muses on the beauty of “flipism,” the idea that major decisions should be decided by the flip of a coin. Frank may tout the benefits of such a philosophy, but there’s no way he’s leaving this vote to chance. “Chapter 57” suffers from a structure similar to its previous episode; much of the episode is focused on phone calls and meetings.

It’s what Jane has wanted all along, believing that it makes Claire look strong right off the bat. The show put a face on terror, one of the many horrors the Underwoods use to manipulate the public, and it isn’t pretty. Underwood tells the camera that the ICO terrorist, an American citizen, doesn’t deserve rights, then abuses his executive power to have him killed and sells the American people on the lie that he was found dead. Frank has never been above a kill before, but the terrorist didn’t pose a threat to his professional goals. That makes this particular kill a notable turning point on his spiral toward moral degeneration.
Will Conway’s scary attempt to fly the plane.
We’ll update this list closer to the time with any changes. Mid-flight on the campaign trail, Frank’s Republican rival (Joel Kinnaman) screams at actual pilots because they refuse to let him take over the controls. Things get pretty stressful in the cabin, but he finally sits down. Naturally, his flare-up was recorded and leaked, which ends up working to Frank’s advantage, like most things. Up until now, the reports of Underwood’s devious rise to America’s highest office haven’t gotten in his way because Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly) has been so thorough.

It’s a soothing bright spot in Doug’s life, and for a moment, there’s a chance that these two workaholics could end up comforting each other. But she dies in a government conspiracy car crash instead. Frank never did accept his old main squeeze’s invite to the river in the first season. Several seasons later, Tim has dropped dead on one of those very same nature trips.

The West Wing, Designated Survivor (for Netflix UK users), The Good Wife, Ignorable, and Marseille are all great alternatives. We’ve only had a 35-second spot so far, but it does give us a few indications as to what’s happening for season 5 of House of Cards.

Even more interesting, in a very abstract way, is the scene where Frank meets with Eric, the man who played Augustus Underwood during a reenactment in season 2. The two bond over the president’s replica battlefield before Eric reveals that everything he said about Augustus Underwood was untrue. He just wanted to have a good story when meeting the (then-)vice president. Frank laughs it off, and the two continue to chat about war and elections and the protesters chanting “Not My President” outside the White House gates. Eric tells an apparently true story about Augustus waking up a full 24 hours after being pronounced dead. It’s a strange scene with seemingly little purpose, but in that way, it’s fascinating.

Eventually, after Aidan tells Leann that he’ll leak incriminating information about the Underwoods if she doesn’t get the authorities off his back, the votes begin to happen. Claire tries to get Donald Blythe to avoid a filibuster and keep Republicans off the floor, but he refuses, which causes Claire to go full Frank Underwood and rip into him and his incompetence. He knows the powerful position he’s in, and he knows that the Underwoods are scrambling.

It’s so far removed from the rest of the episode that it makes an impact. It’s been 9 weeks since Election Day, and nobody is sure what’s happening. The House and Senate are on their way to deciding the president and the vice president, respectively, but nobody really knows how it’s all going to play out. There’s chaos everywhere in Washington, as the government deals with an undecided, uncertified vote that’s left everything at a standstill.
Blackmail, seduction and ambition are his weapons. The actor has indeed continued working since the allegations were first raised against him. I have never stopped watching a series before this one. Even some of the paltry tripe like "Dante's Cove" or "Game Of Thrones" I managed to watch the series. But I watched the first season of this into Episode 10, where Frank kills Peter, and I just.
I ejected the blu-ray and have put up the series on Ebay for sale. With her Vice Presidency secure, Claire Underwood may plot to kill her husband if he beats Will Conway for a second term. Many expect Frank Underwood’s political experience and lack of morals will give him an edge against Will Conway, who has already been dealt his first blow. Joel Kinnaman, who plays young and dynamic Republican Will Conway, announced on Twitter that Alik Sakharov will be directing the third episode of House of Cards Season 5. I devoted a good chunk of my extended Memorial Day weekend to devouring Season 5 of House of Cards, and much to my surprise, it was (mostly) time well spent.
He essentially lost the election, but now he’s trying to sway the House to vote for him. That means Doug and Leann are meeting with every congressman possible in the hopes of convincing them that Frank Underwood is best for the country. There are some interesting stories developing in this episode though, even if the whole arc about Conway and Underwood trying to secure votes in the House is a slog. For instance, Conway begins the episode trying out some VR technology from a friend of his that’s meant to help veterans deal with PTSD. It’s a real-world treatment that’s done a lot of good, but Conway isn’t ready.
