She’s got political aspirations and seeks out the services of Dallas political mastermind Leann Harvey, played by Neve Campbell. Now we know where Claire gets her frostiness.Ĭlaire’s not simply looking for refuge while she figures out her separation from Frank, who is still on the campaign trail and fuming over her absence. That’d be the ghostly Texas ranch occupied (barely) by her mother (Ellen Burstyn), the kind of woman who shuts herself in her room, kills lizards with abandon, and keeps sheets over the furniture so the maid doesn’t have to waste her time cleaning it. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Claire Underwood is back at the ranch. The resulting intel - said cellmate is taking a murder rap for an Armenian crime lord - is enough to earn Goodwin a ticket out of jail and entrance into the Witness Security Program, a.k.a. His new role as an inmate masturbation whisperer doesn’t come from the goodness of his heart it’s a ploy to eke out a confession from his cellmate. “Goddamn, you’re good with words.” Season 4 begins with now-imprisoned journalist Lucas Goodwin lulling his cellmate to orgasm with some kinky sex chat. Will Trump’s alarming rise make President Underwood’s power plays, dirty-dealing, and murderous acts seem underwhelming? Will Hillary Clinton’s run inspire more girls-run-the-world storylines? Should we all just be grateful that Doug Stamper doesn’t work for the GOP? It can’t be a coincidence that today’s season 4 debut comes right during the primaries - the same week as Super Tuesday, in fact.
