Explicații Wikipedia: While attending a Civil War reenactment, Frank holds back-channel negotiations with Xander Feng, a Chinese billionaire and business partner of Tusk's, over construction of a bridge over the Long Island Sound. Frank discovers Feng and Tusk are manipulating a trade summit in Washington, using a U.S. lawsuit against China at the WTO to benefit their investments and strengthen their influence with the Chinese government. Frank acts to drop the lawsuit against Feng's request and falsely accuses Feng of double-dealing, driving a wedge between Tusk and Walker. Feng refuses to build the bridge, and Walker withdraws the U.S. delegation from the trade summit, risking an international trade war. Claire enlists support from First Lady Tricia Walker to advocate with military officials for more protection against sexual assault in the armed forces. An alleged media consultant, Seth Grayson, learns that Claire's abortion is not related to her rape and leverages it to replace Connor Ellis as the Underwoods' press secretary. Lucas visits an AT&T data center allegedly to write an article on cybersecurity, and surreptitiously inserts a USB drive into a data server to provide access to Gavin. His tour guides reveal themselves to be undercover FBI agents and arrest him.
