* Frank goes to a church that's attended by two of his constituents who blame him in part for the death of their daughter. He gives an impassioned eulogy about how the untimely loss of a family member can cause a person to feel hatred, speaking about his own father dying in his 40's. He then gives an aside stating he barely knew his father, his mother didn't like him and his mother's mother hated the man. He concludes that his father's death wasn't such a big deal since he was just taking up space.

* Underwood's effort to pass entitlement reform in the Senate to stave off a potential government shutdown is a pageant of parliamentary absurdity: the Republicans quickly leave the Senate chamber during roll call to prevent a quorum, but this lets the Democrats vote for warrants to be issued compelling Senators to be present in the chamber. The Capitol Police eventually resort to breaking down Senate office doors, handcuffing six Republican senators, and physically carrying them into the chamber to allow a vote.
