Things arent looking good though.
Conway still has a double-digit lead and the Underwoods havent had much momentum since Claires speech.
On the plus side, the time in Washington gives Frank a chance to focus on ICO.

They need a big strike as soon as possible.
While he certainly wants ICO taken care of, he doesnt want Frank to get that victory.
He tells Brockhart that they need to try and block the move in some way.
Meanwhile, Tom finally snags a meeting with Remy outside of Freddys old BBQ joint.
THATS THE SAME AS TELLING HIM, REMY!
JUST TELL HIM MORE!
Out on the campaign trail, Claire is having trouble connecting with the people.
Enthusiasm for an all-Underwood ticket has waned and shes not sure why.
Yates has a few ideas though.
He says Claire has moved away from her message, from what makes the Underwoods appealing.
He urges her to get back to that message, right before the two of them get intimate again.
He doesnt want Claire to have to ask him, but he knows its for the best.
Surprisingly or maybe not, considering his cheating and threesome history Frank isnt too upset about it.
He understands that Yates is giving Claire something that he cant, and perhaps hes okay with it.
Meanwhile, Frank is forced to move ahead on ICO with American troops.
Its a plan that Conway insists Frank would never do, but Conway should know Frank better than that.
Do you even know how dangerous Frank is?
Remy, meanwhile, meets up with Tom again.
After Tom details the beating he took at the hands of Freddy, Remy agrees to talk.
Now Tom just needs proof.
He goes back to theWashington Heraldand asks for full autonomy over a team of fact checkers.
She seems hesitant but ultimately agrees, and the three of them share a quiet, controlled breakfast.
It sure does feel like the calm before the storm.
