This episode continues Frank's courting the black vote. Through some underhanded shenanigans, financed by Claire, a billboard near his birthplace shows a picture of Frank's father, standing next to a hooded Klan member. Of course, by default, Frank's upbringing comes into question. The black caucus begins to turn on him and he tries to make his way back by making deals. Claire has a huge row with her mother. She comes across even more despicable and ambitious as the poor woman must confront her, dealing with terminal cancer. She is asked not to return to the house, and Claire says she will do whatever she wants, ignoring her mother's wished. Frank and Claire finally get together once again, and the sickness continued. Claire has a proposal that seems beyond the pale and I can see why. There is another subplot with the much maligned Lucas who has made his way back, skipping out on his terms of his witness protection requirements in order to face Dunbar and enlist her help.
