Lean not on your own understanding. God is telling us to trust him, to love him despite our own ignorance. After all, what is faith if it doesn't endure when we are tested the most? We will never understand why God took Jessica or my father or anyone. And while God may not give us any answers, he has given us the capacity for love. Our job is to love him without questioning his plan. So I pray to you, dear Lord, I pray to you to help strengthen our love for you and to embrace Dean and Leanne with the warmth of your love in return. And I pray that you will help us fend off hatred so that we may all truly trust in you with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. Amen.
Amen.

Your job is to report the news, not be the news.
I was promoting the paper.
You were promoting Zoe Barnes.
Is this about how I said we called you the hammer? Because if that upset you, I apologize. -
You're missing the point. I don't want you talking about anything that happens here, not nicknames, not how progressive we are, not whether we are adapting to the Internet. Any thoughts you have about this paper, you keep them to yourself, or you bring them to me. You don't get on national television and sp--
I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to--
Don't interrupt when I'm talking.
You can speak to me like an adult, Tom. You don't have to lecture me like a little girl.
You haven't earned the right to be treated as an adult. You think a few front-page stories and some face time on TV makes you the next Judy Miller? You've got a long way to go. Don't be so arrogant.
Okay, so you think when a woman asks to be treated with respect, that's arrogance?
Are you accusing me of sexism?
Just making an observation.
No TV for a month.
What?
You heard me.
No interviews.
That's completely unfair.
You want to make it no TV indefinitely? We're done. You can go now.

Hello?
Gillian, it's Claire Underwood. Can I come up? Have you seen a doctor?
Giardia's not so bad. It'll pass in another week or so. You don't have health insurance, do you?
Nope.
I'll make an appointment for you to see my personal GP tomorrow.
Medicine doesn't really do much. You have to let it run its course.
Well, we'll let it run its course under proper supervision. I won't take no for an answer on this.
Claire-- -
I'll drag you to the hospital myself if I have to. You're going to the doctor. No argument.
Thanks.

They're about to walk. They won't listen to a word I say.
Both unions?
Yeah.
Put Marty on the phone.
Hang on. Marty.
Yeah. It's Frank?
This isn't working, Frank.
Marty, you have got to keep them in that room.
They lost their patience. They're upset you're not in the room, Frank.
I'll be back this afternoon.
No, it's too late.
Look, tell them I'll come down on subsidies for charter schools.
Even so, they're angry about the performance standards. We're not even halfway through this thing.
There's so much in it that they--
Tell them that I'll roll over on performance standards, five-year intervals.
It should be you telling them that, Frank, you here, at this table.
I know that. I'm doing the best I can, but I can't be in two places at once. Now, look. I promise you, if you keep them in that room,
we will get through this hump as soon as I get back. Marty, you are their lobbyist. You know what's best for them. Save them from themselves.
Okay, I'll see what I can do.
Stamper.
Do not let Spinella out of your sight and lock the goddamn doors if you have to.
You got it.

Here we go.
I know you're a busy man. I hope we're not keeping you.
No, no, no, I've got all the time in the world.
This is ham and these are turkey. And there's some potato salad.
Shall we have a prayer?
Gracious loving God...
