There was nothing drawn out or ambiguous about it. I think thats what he interpreted as romantic… And so,washe in love with her?...
You get all that? The duo weighed in on the many twists and turns, as well as teasing a potential season 6. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First season in charge, and you guys didnt hold back. Since we ended on such a pitch, we really felt like there was a lot we owed. Frankly, I feel like were all living it a bit right now. At what point did you decide to end the season with Claire as president?...
LeAnn Harvey… or maybe not. One of the most notable is Neve Campbells LeAnn Harvey. Sometimes you dont have to watch the whole movie to know how it ends, he says. David Giesbrecht/Netflix While we do see LeAnns wrecked car, we dont see her body. And I dont think you had to be on theHouse of Cardsset to feel those emotions. Now onto the fun stuff. Did LeAnn have the shortest tenure of all time for a chief of staff?...

Conway, the sneakily charming man that he is, isnt going away though. After all, the people love nothing more than a handsome, Caucasian war hero. Looking at the livestream, Claire sees a man resorting to gimmicks to gain attention. Credit: David Giesbrecht / Netflix Yates isnt so sure though. He makes the presidency accessible, he says about Conway before referring to him as modern. Its the first sign that theres a purposeful contrast being drawn between Conway and Underwood....
At the conclusion of thelast episode, things werent looking good for the Underwoods. The numbers just dont work in favor of the current president.

Its the Underwoods M.O. Quickly, part of the plan takes shape....
Well, thats not entirely true. This election is dragging on, and its killing the momentum the season kicked off with. Its areal-world treatmentthats done a lot of good, but Conway isnt ready.

Shes told that a Russian research vessel has begun to sink in the Antarctic....
