But Jane says she can’t deliver on that until she knows what Aidan told Petrov, and Aidan isn’t revealing that information just yet. Whose side is she on and what, exactly, does she want? All Claire wants is Jane’s 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. “You know when you freeze to death, the last thing you feel is extreme heat?” THOMAS. (She knows his dental records will confirm his identity.) Now, did we need to see that Game of Thrones–esque 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.Įarly 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. “Nathan, there’s a bite to your tone that we might need to discuss,” Doug says in a very biting tone to a man who is speaking in a totally calm and normal way. She’s 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.ĭoug 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 Underwoods’ “Official List of Enemies, Frenemies, Inconvenient Prostitutes, and Other Assorted Loose Ends,” 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 we’ve 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.
