TVLINE | What is Lucas’ mindset in this first episode? He found the most interesting way to get me back in and get me back out. I literally went up to Beau and was like, “So it must’ve been 3 am and you were sitting at your computer going, ‘How can I mess with Sebastian…'” And he actually came back and said, “To be honest, I wanted to find a different and unique and exciting way to reintroduce you.” And I think he did.
And it’s thrilling to know that he’s not just rotting in jail, but using what talents he does have to stay alive.

By the conclusion of the episode, Frank and Claire agree to a compromise: She’ll attend his State of the Union address if he agrees not to “meddle” with her campaign. She recruits a formidable Democratic consultant (played by Neve Campbell) to spearhead the would-be campaign and run interference with Frank, who is hellbent on crushing his wife’s political gambit. There’s an ulterior motive behind her visit: Claire has her eye on Texas’ 30th congressional seat.
Other key takeaways from “Chapter 40”: Claire, fresh off dumping Frank, flees to Texas to crash with her estranged mom (a formidable-as-ever Ellen Burstyn), who, unbeknownst to her, is battling cancer.
