Teeheehee. I knew something was going to happen with Meechum, I just didnt know what. Frank and Claire were getting overly friendly with him in the last couple of episodes, offering him beer and toasting to him. I speculated that it might be some kind of plot to get him to do something evil. Maybe have him kill someone or to get him involved with some kind of political scandal? Nope! It turns out, they wanted him for a threesome, mostly for Frank I believe. Some sexual healing. Things got weird. Deliciously weird.
-Some other stuff happened this episode.
-During questioning, Frank makes a Kim Kardashian jokes and gets everyone to laugh, except the main prosecutor.
-Stamper's addiction is Rachel. She reminds him of booze.
-Frank fidgets when hes nervous.
-Tusk has a team of 8 attorneys.
-Remy protects Jackie when questioned by Tusk. Love is complicated.
-Stamper looks confused and devastated when he sees Rachel with Lisa.
-Meechum is bad at cleaning up broken glass.
-Bow chicka bow wow.
Season 2, Episode 12: 8.0
The episode where Frank's endgame finally reveals itself. He wants to incriminate the President by linking him to Tusk and Feng's illegal political schemes; thus making him eligible for impeachment. Claire's job was to encourage marriage counseling, so that when the President is investigated, his marital issues and medication will destroy his public image. Not bad of a strategy this time around, especially compared to the confusing mess that was Frank's plan with Russo in Season 1. I like that the plan ultimately comes down to President Walker, Frank and Tusk and how they will incriminate each other.
-President Walker's marriage counselor is a G, would rather face contempt of court than to talk.
-President Walker admires Mayweather's tactics, precision, speed and counterpunch.
-Game on, for the first time ever, the President actually appears smart for once.
-Stamper goes into serial killer mode, popping up out of nowhere to help Lisa with her battery. Suspicious much?
-Megan is bad at answering questions, good at getting flustered and caraazyyy.
-Major power reversal between the hacker and the FBI guy. Also, dude's wife is cheating on him.
-Rachel and Lisa's break up scene was sad, hopefully they get back together.
Season 2, Episode 13: 8.5
A strong episode to end a great season. Frank's manipulation pays off, with him successfully getting Tusk and President Walker to turn on each other. My only issue with this episode extends more to the series in general. Frank has had no worthy adversary; all of his gambles seem to pay off in his favor. If President Walker went through with the letter, everything Frank had worked for would have been in vain. Yet, I also understand the delicious appeal of the show is watching Frank manipulate and crush his adversaries. At the end of the episode, Frank has finally done what he set out to do in Season 1, Episode 1. The last scene in this episode was his victory lap, ending his relationship with President Walker on good terms and becoming the President of the United States.
-"I serve this nation, and this President. Not myself"- Frank. The antithesis of the show.
-President Walker is shown strategizing with Linda Vasquez, followed by scenes of Frank strategizing with Stamper and Grayson. I'd take Team Frank/Stamper/Grayson any day, they're crazier and darker. Much darker. Even the lighting is darker in their strategy scenes.
-40 hours to make it happen.
-Jackie Sharp, impeachment crusader. Getting points for not being Frank.
-Claire breaks down and cries from all the evil she's done.
-Dramatically, Frank and Tusk meet at an opera.
-Hacker guy is now the boss.
-Frank's letter, what is this? The Notebook?
-Poor President Walker, he seemed like a good man. Too oblivious and manipulated though.
-Was Stamper going to kill Rachel?
-Death by Rachel, we all saw it coming in some way or another. R.I.P Stamper.
-Xander Feng is going to die. His weird sex stuff went nowhere this season. I guess every character on this show just has to have some weird sex thing.
-*knock knock*
-Thanks for reading everyone. It's been fun, see you in Season 3!
