This episode starts out with an unbalanced Marine carrying a bomb in a duffel bag, hoping to kill Claire because she had an abortion. She is now pretty much confined to the house, which puts a damper on lobbying for her sexual abuse bill. Jackie starts sleeping with Remy and we wonder what his motivations are. He is connected to Tusk, but how is she in the picture. She has two nasty encounters with Frank and Claire over the fact that she has qualms about the bill. She is an ex-military person who has killed several people. It is hard for her to hang her military people out to dry, even if they deserve it. Doug, who has had a lot of problems with alcohol and is in Frank's back pocket begins to create doubts. He feels he is being devalued by Frank and that is probably true. He also realizes he loves Rachel but is in such an awkward position. Things are starting to go sour for him. He is an incredibly sour individual and yet it is hard not to feel a bit sorry for him. Excellent performance by a guy who has made a career of playing heavies. As this chapter concludes there are some strange goings on concerning him.
