First of all, let's spoil the details of the story:
Claire formally responded to the investigation by the Ministry of Justice on former President Frank's exaggeration of the threat of election day 20 16 at the White House press conference, and thought that if necessary, he could take prosecution afterwards. Regarding whether it will affect the current presidency, Claire admits that once Frank is found guilty, she will also resign. At this time, a reporter mentioned that just now, Jane, a reporter who worked with Tom, the editor-in-chief of the Herald, uploaded an article, pointing out that Frank had deleted his wife Claire from his will, and the intelligence source was Doug. For this unexpected event, Claire didn't have a complete answer at the moment, so she could only hastily end the press conference with the words that Doug was mentally ill.
Jane's article clearly stated that Frank had a handwritten will before his death, in which he left all his property to Doug, the former chief of staff. Details have not been released, and Doug promised to make the contents of his will public. To Claire's surprise, Jane also published the contents of Frank's audio diary on the website, and Claire was described as the most heartless woman. The White House legal adviser has applied to the court for an injunction, but the contents of the diary have been widely spread on the Internet. Even the U.S. attorney Jennifer is a little nervous. Claire swore to her face that Frank had never discussed anything with her.
Bill took this opportunity to attack Claire severely, thinking that Claire should abdicate. Annette is not satisfied with this, but it is also an opportunity. She sends a message to Bill through Mark, and Bill can continue to target Claire, and she will openly oppose Bill. Only in this way can Duncan be free. Bill felt heartbroken when the family split into such a situation.
Annette went to the Oval Office herself and admitted that Doug had played some audio diary clips. She made it clear to Claire that she didn't support public diaries, that is, she begged Claire for mercy and sought reconciliation. But Claire knows Annette too well to believe her.
The unexpected will caught Claire off guard. After calm thinking, she thinks it is necessary to adopt Frank's tactics and consolidate her position with fear. At the White House Military Intelligence Conference, Claire announced that she had received a clear message that the caliphate state-owned enterprises were trying to buy nuclear devices in Pakistan. Although it was only a potential threat, Claire insisted on making it public. Subsequently, Claire ordered the US special forces to enter the coastal areas of Syria on the grounds of searching for nuclear devices, which triggered a military conflict with the Russian army. Russia publicly condemned America's actions at the United Nations, while Claire declared at home that terrorists would never be allowed to approach the United States with nuclear bombs.
In the military intelligence room, Claire talked to Petrov with military personnel. Claire insisted that a nuclear agreement was imminent, but Petrov had no relevant information at all. In view of the fact that Trading Place is located in a desert with a radius of 20 miles, which can't be reached by conventional methods, Claire made a decision that even Petrov didn't dare to make and carried out a nuclear strike. The military high-level officials present looked at each other, not knowing whether to support or oppose.
Back in the office, there is a package from Doug on the desk, which has been tested and there is no danger. Claire opened the package, which contained Frank's used paper cutter and Frank's audio diary. As soon as Claire heard the news, she ordered the White House to be emptied in horror, leaving only the minimum necessary personnel except the security guards.
When the military assistant delivered the nuclear briefcase to the White House, Doug also went to the Oval Office accompanied by security guards. He produced a list of people who wanted to get rid of Claire. Only now does Doug admit that he killed Frank. Frank is going to kill Claire first, then Doug. Doug tried to stop Frank from ruining everything he had achieved and his own political legacy.
It was Frank who created Claire. Doug became more and more excited. He grabbed the paper cutter on the table and put it around Claire's neck. Seeing the blood coming out, he was afraid again. Frank created Claire, and Claire is Frank's political legacy. He can't do it. Claire picked up the knife and stabbed Doug hard. Without Doug, no one will know the past, and all kinds of dark past events will be buried in the grave with Doug.
I finally finished watching House of Cards yesterday. I think it's hard for you to find a normal relationship in House of Cards. Why say "feelings" instead of "love"? Because many physical relationships are simply mixed with a little "emotion" or purpose, it is too far to talk about "love".
