- TriviaWhen reviewing the mission to investigate the blast site, the US Navy Admiral mentions that they will "use a Fulton recovery of any material samples." The Fulton Surface to Air Recovery System (STARS) is nicknamed 'Skyhook' and is the same system featured in The Dark Knight (2008) and Thunderball (1965).
- GoofsWhen the Admiral says, "We'll use a Fulton recovery of any material samples," he refers to the Skyhook System, which the US Air Force (the only operator) officially retired in 1996, due to the availability of such long range aircraft such as the MH-53 and MV-22.
- Quotes
Francis Underwood: [over the phone] Heather.
Heather Dunbar: Mr. President?
Francis Underwood: Doug Stamper is my friend and you came very close to killing him.
Heather Dunbar: Excuse me?
Francis Underwood: You're aware he's an alcoholic?
Heather Dunbar: Yes.
Francis Underwood: And how serious his injuries were?
Heather Dunbar: Mr. President...
Francis Underwood: But you still put him to work. A man who's trying to recover. Who's trying to get back his life. Did you honestly think that he could handle that?
Heather Dunbar: Douglas came to us.
Francis Underwood: And you should have turned him away if you had one ounce of decency.
Heather Dunbar: What's happened? Is he okay?
Francis Underwood: You don't have the right to ask me that question, and if you do anything that endangers his health again I swear to God I will put you in your fucking grave!

The second plot concerns Doug. He meets with Gavin one more time and Gavin gives him evidence that Rachel has died, her body found in a ditch. Doug's reaction to the woman who practically beat his head in with a rock is great sadness. He has become obsessed with her as a real mother figure (he hearkens back to her reading to him). Anyway, back to the booze. Gavin is apparently not going to get his passport and all his work has gone for naught. He ends up seeing the President, admitting that everything he did was to show that he was still relevant.
Remy is also focused on. He is still in love with Jackie. There is an ugly scene where a cop pulls him over for speeding and he is treated like a criminal. He has just been embarrassed by an Iowa politician who has called him a chauffeur and refused to talk to him as an equal.
These are the episodes that make this so great. Everything is done with such polish.
