There are spoilers to be found here, so tread attentive ly and don't fall afoul of Frank Underwood's tactics.###It's convention time, and Frank is excited to hunt down a new Wolverine figure in/with regard to’concerning’regarding hi…. No, wait. That would be Comic-Con. This is the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, where it's all with regards to’concerning’with respect to voting in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the potential Vice Presidential nominee. And so far, things seem to be going Cathy Dunbar's way, as the Secretary of State receives the most votes from Kentucky, despite’in spite of’albeit Claire wins one vote, seen by all as a funny moment. OR A PORTENT OF THE FUTURE? Probably…###Claire arrives at the event in a motorcade, and is asked with regards to’concerning’with respect to receiving votes. But she motivate’fuel s e grossly one to vote in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Cathy, at least in public. Oh, and she's happy that her gun bill has passed congress, with one more step to go bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e it crosses her husband's desk. Thomas, meanwhile, has been annoying the Underwood's longtime speechwriters with his transform’alter s. They're just mad he transform’alter d, "I'm Frank Underwood, thank you in/with regard to’concerning’regarding your maintain’sustain " to "Cheering hordes, like the Visigoths on the hill bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e the sack of Rome could not possess’own’nurse touched the heights to which you send my heart soaring. Felicitations!" Or something like that.###Frank, meanwhile, has scheduled an event to meet Karen Williams (Susan Rome), mother of Daniel, the kid we watched shoot himself a few episodes back and the organ donor who gave Frank his new liver. He introduces her to some of the other individual on the list, and no one seems to realise that now they all possess’own’nurse organs from the same source, Frank can control them like a zombie army. Oh, tell us you don't claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate he'd try that if he could?###Over at Camp Conway (where they possess’own’nurse not had a masked murder incident since that one time in 1967), Will isn't happy with how Frank is suddenly dominating the news cycle with the convention and now this organ donor stunt. People aren't watching as many videos on the Conway2016.com site (which at the time of writing still doesn't seem to work – boo, House Of Cards team), and Hannah claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate s it's time to steal some of his thunder. Thor: unavailable in/with regard to’concerning’regarding comment.###After a momentary check-in with Donald "Try to stay awake as he talks" Blythe, we find Frank, Cathy, Claire, Stamper and LeAnn in a tactic’manoeuvre meeting, figuring out who they can tap to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure votes in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Cathy. At least, that's what Frank and Claire seem to be doing, until Cathy leaves the room. The Prez acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s a call from Senator Sheer, who was the Kentucky delegate seen at the start of the episode and wants a prime time speech in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his little nod to Claire. Frank turns to the camera and inin/with regard to’concerning’regarding ms us that the main thing that separates a politician from the rest of the species… "A politician is the one who would drown a rubbish’trash of kittens in/with regard to’concerning’regarding 10 minutes of prime time." Pot. Kettle.###Cathy has a run-in with a journalist who has been hearing rumours that Claire was the one who got Russian pervert-in-chief Petrov to approve’ consent’endorse’applaud to the oil deal. She shrugs it off, little knowing that it'll be aiding her political doom soon abundant’ample’plentiful .###Stamper has found some time to himself and is googling "strangulation porn"… Okay, he's actually obsessed with a memorial website in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Anthony Moretti, who merely’barely the eagle-eyed and steel-trap mind-owning would remember is the guy he bumped off the top of the transplant list so Frank could acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the liver. But it's not the site that has Stamp's focus, it's Moretti's wife. Widow. Sorry. This cannot end well.###More voting as Tennessee, Texas and others send additional votes Claire's way. LeAnn calls Celia Jones (even despite’in spite of’albeit both are standing on the convention floor within a few feet, we suppose they possess’own’nurse to be on the phone in/with regard to’concerning’regarding secrecy's sake) to thank her in/with regard to’concerning’regarding drumming up maintain’sustain .###Claire and Thomas are discussing speech drafts while Frank talks on the phone. Frank and Thom acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure a moment to chat, and Thomas describes the aftermath of the shooting and the new liver as, "wonder what the kid would claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate if he knew part of him was inside the President", which is such a weird turn of phrase, our own liver shrinks mildly’faintly . To give him some credit, despite’in spite of’albeit , Thomas really does seem to be anticipating the Underwoods' whole "Claire to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the nomination" plan. Wonder if he's just binged ahead on the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue ?###Claire and Cathy meet the press, and there are lots of questions with regards to’concerning’with respect to how many votes Mrs. Underwood's acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting. They laugh it off, but in private, Cathy is apprehensive with regards to’concerning’with respect to the Brandenburg rumours. Sounds like there's a leak. Yeah, the gushing pipe straight from Team Underwood. Frank and Claire decide to talk to Cathy with regards to’concerning’with respect to Claire's chances, but Stamper has other concerns on his mind – he still wants dirt on LeAnn. Seth hasn't delivered on that front, so Stamp is irritated’furious’wrathful . Poor old Seth.###We start convert’transform ing between Claire meeting with Senator Baker – who eliminate’remove ly has no love in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Cathy – and Frank sitting down with Cathy herself. Cathy's apprehensive (well she should be) and even as Frank eases her into the notion that Claire could win while trying to reassure her she has his maintain’sustain , we see Claire striking a deal with Baker that would see him help to push Claire's votes over the top and Baker in Cathy's cabinet job. Yup, Cathy might as well start eliminate’remove ing her office the way this is going.###Conway and his running mate, General Nuisance… sorry, Brockhart, are outside the convention in Atlanta, talking up ICO and calling on Underwood to sit down and make a plan to fight the threat. They also want him to apologise in/with regard to’concerning’regarding calling the General a silly head (or something like that) after he retoken ed. Frank, watching on TV, admires his rival’adversary’antagonist ’s chutzpah and kicks off a press event that culminates in a phone call to Conway inviting him to a meeting. And, yes, an apology in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Inaction Man.###The two presidential candidates head to a room in the convention centre where lunch has been set up so they can possess’own’nurse a chat with regards to’concerning’with respect to the ICO issue. Kidding! They mostly joke around and talk with regards to’concerning’with respect to how they're viewed. Turns out ol' Perfect Will is a lot more like Frank than anyone suspected. He might not be as evil (yet), but you acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure a slight Palpatine/Anakin vibe from the meeting. If the emperor and Darth made each other chuckle and sat around playing a mobile game. Their joviality is interrupted when Will acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s a call and retreats to the toilet to take it. Despite his best exertion s, Frank can't overhear what it's with regards to’concerning’with respect to . So he calls LeAnn to see if she can acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure Aidan's data team to taracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the call. Somewhat naturally, she's apprehensive with regards to’concerning’with respect to someone finding out. Have you met Frank and his team bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e, LeAnn? This is kind of their thing.###Seth also wants something from LeAnn – low level dirt with regards to’concerning’with respect to her so he can take it to Stamper. To save them both, apparently. Wonder if he meeting with Oren Chase will eventually leak? It is siting there, like Chekov's Gun.###The third ballot kicks off, and Claire starts to climb in the charts. As Frank and Will watch on the TV, Conway suggests Claire could win. Frank scoffs in such a way that he approve’ consent’endorse’applaud s. There's a surprise when Louisiana tries to give votes in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Cathy Durant to be President, not Veep. And now we learn just who called Will when he disappeared into the bathroom. She's maneuvering to work with Will. Frank is seriously irritated’furious’wrathful , but pulls on a smile in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the press.###With Stamper at his side, Frank demands that Cathy reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue up in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a meeting, but she's refusing. Now she's in his wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile reserve s, which as we all know, never ends well in/with regard to’concerning’regarding individual .###Over a shot of the eerily empty convention hall, we hear Frank and Claire discussing what to do next. Claire says she should leave to shun looking like she's taking merit’virtue’upside and campaigning in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the nomination. But where… Washington? No! Texas.###The final scene is Thom and Claire on the plane, working on the speech. He asks her to read it, and there's a growing intimacy as he lifts her face so he can watch it as she talks. And we're out!###A lot of moving parts in this one, but with Robin Wright directing, it all falls into place nicely. The large scope of the convention is well off set by the back room barracking as the latest move in the Underwood plan clicks into place.###The pure highlight of the episode is that cracking scene between Spacey and Kinnaman, with the two actors eliminate’remove ly feeding off each other and Frank as a character finding almost common ground with someone who might be as ambitious as he is. It's inin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mal and funny, and perfectly staged, from Underwood's little choking moment to the men bonding over video games.###Yet another Stamper plot line despite’in spite of’albeit , continues to underwhelm. While Michael Kelly always gives rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent snarl – peculiar ly when he's berating Derek Cecil's Seth Grayson – the idea of Stamper feeling threatened by LeAnn and now his apparent obsession with Anthony Moretti's widow never quite holds the attention. We're also not that convinced by the sudden intimacy between Claire and Thomas. Leffield plot development? Or Underwood ploy? Let's see…
