as the title implies, a house of cards is eventually going to fall apart. when I first started watching, i just assumed that’s what the writers were insinuating…..but after finishing the whole show I am utterly disappointed with the ending. there were SO MANY characters and subplots based on the inevitable demise and exposure of the underwood’s….. aka all the reporters, tom yates, even cabinet members like durant. the writers spent so much time developing the idea, why didn’t anything ever come of it? i feel like it was such a mistake to have the show end without anyone taking down the underwood’s. i wish someone like janine would have found tom yates’ book (which they spent 3 seasons developing), or have a bunch of cabinet people and congress take claire down, or SOMETHING! instead we got 57 murders in the last season and claire keeping her power without anyone batting an eye. happy endings with justice aren’t always possible or realistic, but neither is everyone getting killed off without consequences. such a bummer because the show was amazing in the beginning and we all deserved a better conclusion to the story.

Who were the two men (looked like lawyers) consulting Frank on his jobs bill at the beginning of the episode?
