Meanwhile, Claires gun bill is moving ahead strongly.
As usual, Claire delivers quite the performance.
As for Yates, hes smart enough to know not to commit to the Conways right away.
NEXT: Officer Tom
While the Underwoods are focused on Conway, another threat to their power is emerging.
Tom finally thinks hes out of luck when a pizza shop employee says he never saw Frank there.
That guy is Edward Meechum, and it sends Tom for a loop.
He knows hes on to something.
Its exactly what the Underwoods wanted.
That choice is Catherine Durant.
Shes a likable leader with a solid past, and Frank thinks shed be perfect for the spot.
The Democratic leadership likes the idea, but Frank takes it a step further.
He wants to make it look like the Democratic Party is choosing Franks running mate for him.
As the leadership points out, thatll create a media circus, but thats exactly Franks point.
The reason he wants all the media attention is because Conway has pulled a sneaky move.
Hes finally convinced General Brockhart to resign by offering to bring him in as his running mate.
As the episode comes to a close though, its not Conway painted as a threat but rather Tom.
Hes combing through Edward Meechums travel reports and working on setting up some sort of timeline from 2013.
If Tom gets anywhere it could be explosive.
