Claire poisons Yates with an overdose of Gelsemium provided to her by Jane, concerned that he knows too much. Finally, contractors working for the Underwoods eliminate LeAnn by ramming her car off the road into a guard rail. Frank resigns as president, leaving Claire as the 47th president of the United States. This comes in the form of a military special operations unit finding and taking out the leader of ICO, which moves media focus away from Frank. Standing in the Oval Office, Claire appears to reconsider pardoning Frank, and ignores multiple concerned calls from him regarding the matter.

Final season and firing of Spacey
Add a pair to your closet by shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue. In May 2016, Kate Mara brought her fashion A-game to the 2016 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The then-33-year-old actress looked chic and stylish on the red carpet beside her handsome boyfriend, Jamie Bell. Kevin Spacey was charged with multiple sexual assault charges. As a result, he was fired from his starring role as Frank Underwood in House of Cards. Robin Wright replaced him in the leading role of the show.

They and Seth Grayson also develop a mobile application which can secretly be used to monitor the user's activity, including their location. Secretary of State Durant also comes within the Shepherds' sphere of influence, and they persuade her to speak with prosecutors investigating the Underwoods as the Shepherds become increasingly distant from Claire. As Durant's testimony proves more threatening, Claire and Jane Davis plot to assassinate her, but she fakes her death and flees the country.

Season 5 (
Following Durant's fake death, Claire and President Petrov forge a deal on Syria. Claire then discovers that Durant is alive and living in France with Petrov's help. Following this, Claire disappears for three weeks, prompting questions of her ability to lead, and leading Usher to plan to use the 25th Amendment to remove her from office. Claire foils Usher's plan and fires her Cabinet, replacing it with an all-female Cabinet, much to Annette's surprise. Annette plans to use Claire's prior abortions against her, but Claire retaliates by revealing to Duncan he is not Annette's biological son.
Meanwhile, Frank aims to drive a wedge between Walker and Tusk. He meets Xander Feng, a Chinese businessman and ally of Tusk's, to engage in back-channel negotiations that Frank intentionally scuttles at the expense of Tusk's credibility. In the resulting trade war with China, Tusk opposes Walker's efforts to deal with the crisis and begins having a tribal casino funnel money into Republican PACs in retaliation.
Eventually, this and other leaks from his campaign are slowly dripped to the media in a manner that seems unconnected to the Underwoods. Seeing that his candidate is losing, Conway's campaign manager, Mark Usher, switches sides to the Underwoods. The Underwood ticket wins both Ohio and Tennessee, and Frank is sworn in as president and Claire as vice president. It was a scene between me and Kevin — a much more civil scene. Which was actually really lovely, because my very first scene of shooting House of Cards was with Kevin in the subway in season 1.
In 2012, Mara joined the cast of House of Cards, playing the part of Zoe Barnes, an intrepid reporter from Washington, D.C. Who becomes a major ally to Frank Underwood by leaking stories that undermine his rivals.[21] She filmed a second season of the series, which was released on February 14, 2014. On July 10, 2014, she was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. The show doesn’t really give her the same kind of personal hook the other characters get, the soft spot. Underwood is the chilliest power-at-all-costs pragmatist of them all, but his asides to the camera invite us into what’s on his mind and make us co-conspirators. Robin Wright’s Claire may be Underwood’s D.C. Lady Macbeth, but she also has very human yearnings for the more traditional life and love she could have had.
Frank recovers and resumes his position as president, agreeing to put Claire on the ticket for the upcoming election. But I'm not one of those people that watches movies or television in that way. I don't feel like I need to learn something from a character or from a story.

Doug threatens and wounds Claire with the letter opener, but when he draws back, she grabs it and stabs him in the stomach. As he lies bleeding on the floor, she covers his mouth and suffocates him, completely unaware that, thanks to Doug, journalist Janine Skorsky is going to expose her crimes. The Shepherds decide to influence Claire by other means, including through a Supreme Court justice they convince her to nominate.
I guess we only had one night to shoot, and then we had another full day in our studios in Baltimore, with a green screen and all that. But we also had some additional shooting in the soundstage, and then also in the subway again. Because we had a lot of extras and stuff, we had to sort of be really sneaky about the whole thing. Like, I feel like I'm doing something wrong by talking about it. [laughs] I've known about it from the beginning, from before I was ever officially given the role of Zoe. The actors made modern updates to the house—painting the cabinets in the kitchen a graphite gray, adding built-in window seats to the living room which compliments the hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and sunroom with red brick flooring.
Underwood asks to meet Barnes once again at a train station. While the meeting place is far more public, Underwood is in disguise and hides behind a fenced structure. There, Barnes and Underwood agree on the "fresh start" and she deletes all past text messages and contact information. Still, she continues to inquire about Russo's death and reveals her knowledge of some key details, including Rachel Posner.
And on some level, it’s hard to blame her for her lack of foresight. Pressed for an answer, who would she want to be when she grows up? In this world being remade, there’s no one for Zoe to look to as an example, no clear position to aspire to. She’s just reacting, looking for the next place to move up to, and like everyone else, having no idea what the future holds. "We were shooting in an actual subway station, wecould only get it off-hours. So we were shooting from midnight 'till like, five in the morning," added Willamon. I was lucky to get into film at a time that was very interesting for drama.
