How Does House of Cards End?
Here's How House of Cards Ends, in Case You Just Want to Know
9
If you've ever wondered what Claire would be like if she had kept her babies instead of aborting them, look no further than Annette (Diane Lane). A childhood friend of Claire's, Annette is equally powerful and cunning.
After unsuccessfully attempting to have Claire assassinated, it's clear she has numerous other plans in place to take down the president. One such plan is having the body of Tom Yates, whom Claire murders the previous season, on ice as a way of blackmailing Claire into submission. When that still doesn't take down Claire, Annette gets Claire's OBGYN to try to kill Claire's baby by drugging it through an IV, but that doesn't work as well.
Unsuccessful at forcing Claire to do her bidding, her final scene is in the Oval Office, where she makes one last-ditch effort to get Claire to let her son Duncan go, which she of course does not.
