Plot Summary： The White House staff also feels the tension, but for William, the situation is looking up. He even begins preparing his victory speech, and Hannah dreams of sleeping in the luxurious White House bedroom that night. The White House East Room is packed with celebrities and media, awaiting the vote count – either a congratulatory handshake for the president's re-election or a respectful final farewell. Tom from The Herald is among them, eager not to miss Frank's expression of defeat on this special day. Frank, however, has picked up Secretary of State Cathy's report again. An action he once dismissed as ill-timed now brews in his mind. He decides to go all in, sending Director Green of the Counterterrorism Bureau to Tennessee to apprehend ISIS liaison Muhammad Karabi based on the report's leads. In the apartment, the suspect is not found, but bomb-making materials are discovered inside. Sitting in the Situation Room, Cathy understands Frank's intentions from his seemingly tense expression. As Frank planned, chaos erupts at a polling station in Tennessee, a Republican stronghold, suspected to be Karabi's doing. The National Guard arrives to maintain order, and Claire addresses voters nationwide via the White House news website, promising to ensure the safety of all polling stations and encouraging active participation. Under the shadow of a terrorist attack, few are likely to heed Claire's call, which suits Frank just fine. The Tennessee disturbance only causes minor scratches and bruises to a dozen people, with no signs of an explosion. But for safety reasons, Governor Mitch dares not take it lightly, and Director Green's alarmist warnings further frighten Mitch. After much deliberation, he decides to declare a state of emergency, implement a curfew, and suspend voting statewide. This decision enrages William. Tom, in the White House East Room, is also using various channels to inquire about the situation in Tennessee. He sees Patricia Whitaker, chair of the Democratic National Committee, in the ballroom, making it seem like Frank has the upper hand. His professional intuition tells him something is amiss in Tennessee. Tom tries to get information from White House Press Secretary Seth through junior reporter Sean, but Seth remains tight-lipped, and Sean learns nothing. It's almost 6 PM, and the voting situation in some states is already decided. According to the latest vote count, excluding Tennessee, Frank's votes are slightly ahead, but William's votes are not far behind, with victory hinging on the outcome of a single state. Frank and Claire decide to unleash their trump card, targeting Ohio, where voting has not yet ended. After forcing Aidan to falsify some information through a backdoor program, Doug informs the Ohio Governor to withdraw some polling stations in Republican areas, citing the possibility of a terrorist attack. Given the situation in Tennessee, and facing the dilemma of being accused by Republicans or risking casualties, the Governor prioritizes national security, withdrawing some polling stations and merging them with others. Despite all these efforts, defeat still seems irreversible. The loss of the Southern states, once Democratic strongholds, had already sealed Frank's fate. Frank first calls William to offer congratulations, but this is a smokescreen; as long as Ohio and Tennessee haven't completed voting, William doesn't have enough votes to defeat Frank. Due to the chaos on Election Day, almost every state has filed lawsuits, and some cities even refuse to acknowledge the election results due to low voter turnout. This is exactly what Frank hoped for: to survive in chaos is his ultimate strategy.
