Episode 4, pointedly, ended the sleazy, petty bickering between Claire and Frank (as she tried to jump into a congressional seat and he tried to woo her back onto the campaign trail) and put Frank out of commission for a few episodes. ![]() Which gave her the taste of control she wanted while also instilling her with confidence. And by allowing Claire to, essentially, take the reins of the presidency by subtly seducing (not sexually), and pushing, a weak-willed Blythe (Reed Birney) into a big power move against Petrov. By allowing Frank to sit with vivid hallucinations for weeks and come to the realization that he needed Claire more than she needed him.

It's all one long campaign trail, sure, but there are pull-out stories that provided more wicked weigh-stations than there were Season 3. This was Will’s chance to essentially clinch the vote and be the next president of the United States, now he stands to lose ground on Frank three weeks before the election.Back in my full season review, I mentioned how the season was sort of fragmented. And now Frank takes control over the hostage situation. Later, the truth comes out and Congressman George Wallack comes out and says Conway lied about interfering with Russia.

The search engine makes the Conway name a popular one where results are skewed to favor him. Plus, he has technology on his side thanks to polly hop. On paper, Will is a dangerous candidate for Frank because he’s everything he’s not. Little did he know that future would come so soon.
