The episode can only be talked about as shocking especially the conclusion of Peter then he was practically killed by Francis even though everyone believes it to a suicide done by a desperate man. It's sad this episode was the end of Stoll's performance but he left out on a bang with such a riveting performance that was quite moving in his scene on the phone with his young daughter who did not want to speak to him because of the scandal showing at the end of his life he was truly alone. Last week Adam and Claire seemed in paradise together but affairs never seem to work out perfectly for everyone involved. The fight between Adam and Claire was both true and honest and her decision to stay the first time seemed to confuse me. Francis was for the first time honest in the episode especially when speaking of his goals for the vice presidency to Linda and telling Jim to run for the governor position especially since he is the current vice president. The relationship between Francis and Doug seems very interesting since they basically kept a murder secret they will hold. As I mentioned sad to see Stoll got but he gave such amazing performances on the show. Wright once again played all her scenes so well. Great writing and quite an emotional episode for the shocking death on the show.
EPISODE GRADE: A- (MVP: Corey Stoll)
