Underwood begins a symbiotic, and ultimately sexual, relationship with Zoe Barnes, a young political reporter, secretly feeding her damaging stories about his political rivals to sway public opinion as needed. Meanwhile, he manipulates Peter Russo, a troubled alcoholic congressman from Pennsylvania, into helping him undermine Walker's pick for Secretary of State, Senator Michael Kern. Underwood eventually has Kern replaced with his own choice, Senator Catherine Durant. Underwood also uses Russo in a plot to end a teachers' strike and pass an education bill, which improves Underwood's standing with Walker. Because the new Vice President is the former Governor of Pennsylvania, a special election is to be held for his successor. Underwood helps Russo get clean and props up his candidacy, but later uses sex worker Rachel Posner to break his sobriety and trigger his downfall shortly before the election.

They also seek the help of Doug, but he refuses, initially. Doug meets with Hammerschmidt, providing him with information on Frank's actions. Determined to strike back against her enemies, Claire frames Usher for Yates's murder, claiming he colluded with Russia to do so. Claire then reveals to Doug that she is pregnant with Frank's child, who will become his heir even though Frank secretly left his assets to Doug. One hundred days after Claire takes office, she faces increased scrutiny, particularly in light of her husband's death following his resignation.
Frank recovers and resumes his position as president, agreeing to put Claire on the ticket for the upcoming election. But I'm not one of those people that watches movies or television in that way. I don't feel like I need to learn something from a character or from a story.

First episode:
Trading secrets and access, the two form a mutually beneficial alliance that could ultimately topple an entire presidential administration. TVLINE | What has been the most challenging part of keeping the secret for the past nine months? My friends and people I work with, as a polite conversation starter they will say, “How’s it going in Baltimore? ” I had to just lie about it and say, “Yeah, I’ve got a few days off” or “The season’s going really well… ” I tried not to say too much because I didn’t feel like making up an elaborate story about shooting the show when I hadn’t been on the set in six months.
Cause of death:
When Petrov has an American gay rights activist arrested in Russia, the Underwoods persuade him to secure a release. However, Petrov demands that the activist apologize on Russian television, leading the activist to kill himself while being visited by Claire. Later, after Russian troops are killed in the Jordan Valley, Petrov convinces Frank to remove Claire as Ambassador in exchange for a peaceful resolution. Claire resigns, giving the reason that she wants to be more active in Frank's campaign. Zoe and two colleagues, Lucas Goodwin and Janine Skorsky, continue investigating Frank and ultimately locate Rachel.
But if you look now, the focus is not on the same kind of films that were made in the 90s. When I look now, the most interesting plots, the most interesting characters, they are on TV. Frank and Claire allow the kidnappers to speak to the deposed leader of ICO, Yusuf al Ahmadi, after successfully obtaining the release of two of the hostages. Instead of defusing the situation as he agreed, al Ahmadi urges the kidnappers to kill the remaining hostage and broadcast the killing to the public.
House of Cards is the first TV series to have been produced by a studio for Netflix. Indeed, House of Cards veers sharply off of the path established by the original after the first two episodes, expanding the overarching plot as well as the supporting characters. Andrew Davies’s original miniseries and its two sequels, To Play the King and The Final Cut, clock in at 12 episodes total. But the idea here is that the first two seasons of the U.S. remake will comprise 26 episodes, which meant “expanding laterally” and “digging deeper,” said Willimon. It's been a week since the second season of "House of Cards" was released online, and those who dove into the Washington drama's new crop of 13 episodes were rewarded with plotting, political intrigue and a few major surprises.
Meanwhile, Frank aims to drive a wedge between Walker and Tusk. He meets Xander Feng, a Chinese businessman and ally of Tusk's, to engage in back-channel negotiations that Frank intentionally scuttles at the expense of Tusk's credibility. In the resulting trade war with China, Tusk opposes Walker's efforts to deal with the crisis and begins having a tribal casino funnel money into Republican PACs in retaliation.
The home is sited on a notably long and narrow lot, which explains the lengthy hallway that connects to various bedrooms. Mara was asked about her experience working with Spacey in regard to the sexual assault allegation. Mara did not say much about the situation when asked about working with Kevin Spacey on the Netflix drama. “I had a really amazing experience on that show for the 13 episodes I was on it,” the star said. The cancellation of the Netflix series was prompted by the Buzzfeed article where actor Anthony App alleged that Kevin Spacey sexually assaulted him in 1986 when Spacey was 26, and Rapp was 14.
I am cool with just watching something and sort of losing myself in this crazy world. She is not the only actress in the Mara family to have won numerous awards. Mara’s sister, Rooney Mara, starred in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and has won numerous awards for her acting prowess.
Underwood asks to meet Barnes once again at a train station. While the meeting place is far more public, Underwood is in disguise and hides behind a fenced structure. There, Barnes and Underwood agree on the "fresh start" and she deletes all past text messages and contact information. Still, she continues to inquire about Russo's death and reveals her knowledge of some key details, including Rachel Posner.
Blythe is indecisive during a military crisis involving Russia, and turns to Claire for guidance. Claire goes against Frank's wishes by convincing Blythe to involve China and secure a meeting with Petrov, where she brokers an ambitious peace deal. Doug leaks information about Dunbar's secret meeting with Lucas and forces her to suspend her campaign.
