Plot Summary： The US concession to Russia on the Syria issue has caused dissatisfaction among many officials and the public. Criticism of the president grew louder, with Bill even ignoring his illness to give an interview on television. Democrats within the party also tried to distance themselves from the president to avoid getting into trouble. For the past three weeks, aside from pardoning former Chief of Staff Doug late one night, Claire had not made any public appearances or provided any updates. There were also rumors that the president was mentally unstable or suffering from depression. The media expressed pessimism and disappointment about the future of the United States, and people felt panicked. Bill and Annette warmly entertained Mark at the hotel, aiming to inquire about Claire's situation. Claire's pessimistic, weary, and incoherent performance was conveyed to Bill through Mark. Bill wanted to use this opportunity to promote Mark, further controlling the White House power center. They could invoke Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, replacing the president with Mark on the grounds that the president was unable to perform her duties. This had never happened in American history, and Mark initially had concerns but succumbed to the repeated persuasion of the Shepherd siblings. He secretly gathered cabinet members to plan a joint letter to Congress, demanding Claire's removal from the presidency. However, they didn't realize that this was precisely the outcome Claire had hoped for; she had a plan all along. As the saying goes, things turn around when they reach an extreme. Slowly, another voice emerged. Some suspected that Vice President Mark, who held real power, had reached a shameful agreement with Russia, and the sidelined President Claire was merely taking the blame, hence her melancholic state. Mark hadn't realized he was falling into a trap and, out of gentlemanly conduct, wanted to persuade Claire to resign voluntarily. But such an act would be equivalent to telling Claire that they were about to initiate impeachment proceedings. Doug suddenly entered the White House. He had been investigating Durant's death recently and found suspicious circumstances. Durant's father, who came from out of town, claimed he hadn't even seen his daughter for the last time, and Durant was cremated without an autopsy. However, Durant's husband claimed to have seen the autopsy report and refused to let Doug in to discuss it further. Doug had to suspect that Durant faked her death to avoid becoming a sacrifice. Hearing this, Claire also told Doug a secret. It was publicly announced that Frank died suddenly in Claire's bed, but this was not true. That night, Frank died on the carpet in his own room, likely murdered. Perhaps Durant knew the inside story and faked her death to mislead people. The next day, Claire met with Duncan privately at the White House, politely asking the media controlled by Duncan to stop unwarranted attacks. This show of weakness drew words from Duncan. Claire learned that Frank had told Annette many things during his lifetime, and there might be audio or video evidence. However, Claire also knew a secret: Duncan's background was not simple, and the specific answer could only be asked by Duncan to his dear mother. Duncan, who had unauthorizedly met Claire, returned to the hotel and was severely reprimanded by Bill. Duncan, furious, asked the question in his heart. With this question, Bill and Annette, who were just arguing, immediately changed the subject, leaving Duncan aside. In the White House, Mark hurriedly reported to Claire that Jane had been kidnapped to a certain location in Saudi Arabia. Mark worried that Jane falling into enemy hands would pose a great risk to national security. Special forces developed several rescue plans, but execution required an executive order. Claire refused to issue the executive order because she had secretly ordered Jane's kidnapping, aiming to find out when Mark and the cabinet members would make their move. After knowing the specific date, Claire began her next step. Cathy had been involved with Meiyer, and now Meiyer had been killed by Russians, and Mark had covered up the truth. Claire demanded that Cathy confess her affair with the former press secretary to the FBI, and also reveal that Meiyer suspected Mark's collusion with Russia led to his death, then Claire would come forward to seek justice for Meiyer. In the White House meeting room, cabinet members had just signed the joint letter when the door was pushed open by bodyguards, and Claire walked in, looking refreshed. Holding the joint letter, Claire announced that all cabinet members present were dismissed. Mark believed that interfering with the signing was obstruction of justice and could be used to impeach Claire. But the FBI's investigation into Mark's alleged collusion with Russia left him preoccupied. The outside world also turned its attention to Mark, believing that the Russian agreement was solely Mark's doing. Now, it was Claire's turn to demand Mark's automatic resignation, and even Bill and Annette were powerless to reverse it. Annette angrily came to the Oval Office, intending to expose to the world the fact that Claire had three abortions. Melody had already edited the video, which would soon be broadcast on television. But Claire looked relaxed, while Annette was unable to explain to her son, or rather, her non-biological son. Before Annette left, Claire showed her the new cabinet members, all composed of women. The Shepherd family's control over the White House came to an end.
