MISCELLANEOUS Doug Stamper ( Michael Kelly) bumped a dude off the organ transplant list to get Frank a new liver and then became racked with guilt, so he donated $5,000 to the fund set up in the dead father's name. The season ended with Claire joining Frank in breaking the fourth wall. Thankfully, we have another season to see if somebody can take Frank down.ĬLAIRE AND FRANK: TERRORISTS? They didn't plot the kidnapping, but they certainly made it clear they were going to use a family's hostage crisis to their advantage and get the country even more under their thumbs. So, he's as good as dead next year, right? Everything Lucas said in his suicide note was true. Hammerschmidt didn't get very far into the murders Frank committed, but he did find enough evidence to publish a piece about Frank's manipulation and corruption. But she began working with Tom Hammerschmidt ( Boris McGiver) as he looked into Frank's abuses of power. She resisted, but news of her meeting with him came to light after he shot the president and it ruined her campaign. He became obsessed with taking Frank down and tried to get Heather Dunbar ( Elizabeth Marvel) to help him. THE TRUTH After Lucas got out of prison, he was placed into the witness protection program, but he couldn't sit on the truth. Frank's liver was basically destroyed and he spent several episodes comatose while Claire manipulated his hapless vice president. Meechum ( Nathan Darrow) shot and killed Lucas, but also lost his life. FRANK WAS SHOT While at a rally, Frank was shot by Lucas Goodwin.
