Frank Underwood is now the Vice President. He is having his house completely renovated because he and the second lady don't want to move to conventional quarters. He seems to have more machismo than the President who seems to be awfully wishy washy. Lucas is totally in on trying to find evidence of Zoe's death that has been ruled a suicide. Jackie betrays everyone to get the job of majority whip. She is about to destroy the person who has been the kindest to her, even though he has his own agenda and isn't exactly a stellar citizen. China is on the table and terrible advice gets the Secretary of State in a no win situation. Meanwhile, Claire must deal with the fact that one of the top ranking generals raped her in college. Frank finds out but must bide his time since he is now being seen for the first time as a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
