Explicații Wikipedia: In the aftermath of the leak of the education bill, Frank secures full control of the legislative course from the President and promptly removes Blythe, who graciously takes the fall for the controversy. Frank hires a team of young congressional staffers to write a draft of the bill in a week (a process which would usually take months). Claire decides to lay off more than half of the staff at her environmental non-profit, the Clean Water Initiative (CWI), in order to proceed with a costly international expansion despite losing a major donation which had been contingent on Frank becoming Secretary of State. Via Zoe, Frank plants a story that loosely ties Kern to an anti-Israeli editorial column that ran in his college newspaper while Kern was editor. Kern mishandles the resulting media scrutiny. Frank forcefully arranges for Russo to meet conspiracy theorist Roy Kapeniak, who wrote for the column in question, and convince him to go on the record and state that Kern himself wrote the article, destroying Kern's confirmation chances. Frank then tosses Catherine Durant's name to Zoe as a likely replacement before reinforcing her credentials with Linda.
