Obviously, any sane person - in House of Cards, that means Cathy - would respond to this news with, РІР‚СљWell, if we know thereРІР‚в„ўs going to be an attack, shouldnРІР‚в„ўt we try to prevent it?РІР‚Сњ Jane presents a different case to every single person she talks to and feigns surprise whenever given information she already knows. In other words, the declaration-of-war committee would have to go back to debating, well, a declaration of war, and wouldnРІР‚в„ўt have the time to devote to Frank. A tragic one, to be sure - you know, if it happens - that would all but require the U.S. The weirdest game Jane is playing involves an impending gas attack. Jane also makes a play to hire LeAnn, and LeAnn dutifully reports back about this to Claire, who declines to reemploy her. But Jane says she canРІР‚в„ўt deliver on that until she knows what Aidan told Petrov, and Aidan isnРІР‚в„ўt revealing that information just yet. Whose side is she on and what, exactly, does she want? All Claire wants is JaneРІР‚в„ўs intel to take down the ICO Big Bad at large. She brings with her a complicated, mostly secret history of connections to just about everyone important in D.C. Meanwhile, Jane Davis is already a one-woman supplier of all the best lines on this show. Save it for the underside of a Snapple cap.

Now is not the time for your unfun facts.

РІР‚СљYou know when you freeze to death, the last thing you feel is extreme heat?РІР‚Сњ THOMAS. (She knows his dental records will confirm his identity.) Now, did we need to see that Game of ThronesРІР‚вЂњesque photo of his icy, ocean-wrecked face? Apparently! Tom is also lurking, while Claire handles this secret business, because he has no friends, no family, no apartment, no independent interests, not even a gym membership -no, he ceases to exist beyond the walls of the White House. Claire wants the body to get lost in transit, for sentimental reasons. Now, he has to escalate his lurks to awkward confrontations that force a scrappy, hardworking single lady like Lisa to ditch all her groceries in the street so she can run away from him.Р”В®arly in the episode, we confirm that there was an American onboard that Russian vessel, and he froze to death while drowning in the ocean. Remember how Doug lurked? A good lurk used to satisfy Doug for days. Later, he just goes ahead and stalks Lisa, which really brings me back to a marginally more innocent time in this show, when Doug was all about that weird, spooky lurk. РІР‚СљNathan, thereРІР‚в„ўs a bite to your tone that we might need to discuss,РІР‚Сњ Doug says in a very biting tone to a man who is speaking in a totally calm and normal way. SheРІР‚в„ўs just a girl in her 20s trying to make it to 30, like a rom-com heroine. Stamper? Doug is the loosest end of all.Р”Вoug starts falling apart in this meeting with Nathan, who says Lisa is basically clean. When it finally comes out that Doug has been blunt-force-trauma-ing his way through the UnderwoodsРІР‚в„ў РІР‚СљOfficial List of Enemies, Frenemies, Inconvenient Prostitutes, and Other Assorted Loose Ends,РІР‚Сњ do you think Frank and Claire are going to protect Mr. This dude is spinning out, and I have a feeling that his loyalty will do him in. What weРІР‚в„ўve seen of his dwelling is certainly better lit than his gloomy Sadness Caves of seasons past, but his voice, like his spirits, just keeps getting lower and growlier.
